FAQ

The 24 Nespresso Grand Cru capsules contain only pure coffee, sourced from the finest 1-2% of the world’s coffee production. That’s why no additives of any kind are used or needed. The quality and consistency of our coffee in the cup and its exquisite crema are the result of the highest quality coffee, the way we manage the quality during the whole production process and the unique Nespresso system – the interaction of the original Nespresso aluminum capsule and the genuine Nespresso machine.

A pure origin or single origin coffee is made of coffees coming from the same country of origin. At Nespresso, each “pure origin” is exclusively and genuinely composed (100%) of coffees coming from a single country of origin and even limited regions that offer unique profiles. We perform rigorous sampling and testing to ensure that we have only 100% pure origins.

We are pleased to know that you have been seduced by our Limited Editions. These exclusive flavors are, however, now sold-out. Again and again, we come across unique coffee flavors in our search for perfection and unique taste experiences. We can only offer these creations for a limited period as the raw materials are only available in small quantities. We thank you for your kind understanding.

You can already be looking forward to furthering Limited Editions. These will be launched respectively in spring and autumn. We will create Variations this year as well – you will be well surprised.

The amount of caffeine in a capsule depends on the varieties of green coffee used in the recipe. The Robusta origin contains an average of 2.4% whereas the Arabica origins contain approx. 1.3% of caffeine. Decaf capsules contain less than 0.1% of caffeine. The classic Nespresso capsules contain approx 5g of ground coffee whereas the Lungo capsules contain approx 6g of ground coffee.

Example: a pure Arabica coffee in a classic Nespresso capsule (5g) containing 5g x 1.3% = 0.065g= 65 milligrams (mg) of caffeine.

Below are examples or average caffeine contents according to the type of coffee preparation (values are based on UK Food Safety Authorities 2001):

• Cup of filter coffee: 75mg
• Mug of instant coffee: 100 mg
• Tea cup: 50mg
• Standard cola drink: up to 40mg
• Standard energetic drink: 80 mg

Our capsules are hermetically sealed for optimal conservation of coffee aromas. Two dates are indicated on each sleeve: the production date and the date of consumption. We ensure the freshness consumption up to 12 months after the date of production.
