Nespresso has turned me into A Coffee Monster!

Today, I want to write about Nespresso capsules. After last week, I have reviewed of my Nespresso Citiz, a great automatic coffee machine. Now it's the time to talk about the capsules.  

My capsules collection just for myself!

Nespresso has developed an exclusive method of packaging its coffee in a hermetically sealed aluminium capsule. This capsule provides the pressurized seal needed to preserve the 900 aromas and flavors of freshly ground coffee. 

Nespresso capsules are sold exclusively by Nespresso and are more expensive than portions of ground coffee purchased "loose". The cost per serving is up to three times higher than that of alternative brewing methods.Nespresso offer 19 different coffee "Grand Cru" arabica and robusta. Two Limited Edition Grand Crus are released every year as well as a new set of Variations, flavored espresso capsules.

Each capsule contains 5–6 grams of ground coffee and makes one cup of coffee. Depending on the length of the pour the capsule is designed for 40ml for an espresso shot, or 110ml for a lungo (long) pour. The capsule material and perforated top are both made of aluminum. For health reasons, the interior of most of the capsule is lined with food-grade lacquer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nespresso).

To get the capsules, you can buy online on their website or go to their boutique. You can get free delivery post if you order minimum 200 capsules. There is one boutique at 203 Broadway, Newmarket,Auckland. If you live outside Auckland, the delivery fee will be $8,90. 

How much is per capsule? My friends keep asking me that questions. Well, every variations have different price. Average price is $1/capsule. So cheap! They are cheaper than Starbuck Coffee, but in my opinion, they taste way better. 

I became a coffee monster because of their delicious tasty coffee!

Hope my review will help you! Now, it's my Nespresso time... :-)
