The capsules contain about 7 g of ground coffee, which is filled in portions. The material of the capsules keeps the coffee fresh. During the brewing process, the capsule machine presses hot water into the capsule at high pressure. If the pressure is enormous enough, the membrane on the underside of the capsule can no longer withstand it and breaks away. The espresso then flows through the perforated membrane and the holes in the pyramid plate into the cup. This process produces a dense crema. The production of espresso, caffè crema, latte macchiato or other delicacies is thus successful for everyone.
The Nespresso® capsule system belongs to the premium capsule systems. The Nespresso® capsules are only compatible with certain machines. These are produced by manufacturers such as DeLonghi or Krups. The Nespresso® capsule varieties offer a wide variety and differ in the type of coffee beans as well as the degree of roasting. Since 2012, the patent for the coffee capsules has expired, so since then there have been many new manufacturers offering their espressos in Nespresso® compatible capsules.
Many Italian roasters now also offer Nespresso® compatible capsules. Not least due to George Clooney and the "La Dolce Vita" scenes, the diverse capsule variants have managed to enjoy great popularity for the quick espresso in between.
