Our best-selling Espresso blend is now available in Nespresso compatible capsules. Same beans, same roast, same flavour, just a lot more convenient. If you already love our Espresso blend, this is exactly what you'd expect from it.
Getting a capsule to taste as good as freshly ground beans takes a lot of work. Our roasting team fine-tuned the grind size, water ratios, and extraction times specifically for our capsule technology, then used multi-stage precision grinding and an oxygen-modified encapsulation process to lock the flavour in. The result is a capsule that pulls a proper shot with a good crema.
In the cup you get the same cocoa, dark chocolate, hazelnut, and malt notes as the bean version. Full-bodied and smooth when drunk black, rich and bold with milk. It's a reliable, no-fuss cup every time.

Our capsules are made from 100% recyclable aluminium. When you're done, pierce the foil, empty the grounds into your compost, and pop the empty capsule into your standard council recycling bin. Available in a 10-pack or 60-pack, with free shipping on the 60-pack Australia-wide.
1. Which machines are these compatible with?
These capsules are compatible with Nespresso Original Line machines. They also work with the Wacaco Minipresso portable espresso maker, which is available through Merlo if you're after a travel-friendly option.
2. Does the capsule taste the same as the beans?
Yes, that was the goal. The roasting profile was specifically adjusted for capsule extraction so the flavour comes through the same way it does when you grind fresh beans. You still get a proper crema and the same chocolate and malt notes you'd expect from the Espresso blend.
