Dolce Gusto is an umbrella company formed by the union of Nestle, Krups and Giseh. It was announced a little less than 10 years ago - in 2006. The main idea of the brand was to provide the middle layers of the population with home machines and coffee, which have the qualities of a professional product. In addition, the cooking process itself should have been quick and convenient. In this regard, such an innovation as Dolce Gusto capsules - portioned foil containers was introduced into production.
A bit about Dolce Gusto
The philosophy of the Dolce Gusto brand is that the process of brewing coffee, regardless of its type and variety, is considered an art. One of the main criteria for preparing a drink is the pressure maintained at a certain level. It is with the help of such innovations as capsules for the Dolce Gusto coffee machine that this condition can be ensured.
The optimal pressure level is considered to be 15 bar, resulting in a cup of high-quality, aromatic, stylish and invigorating drink. Any coffee made from Dolce Gusto capsule is a product with a refined taste, which until then could only be found in specialized institutions.
Nescafe is positioning its products on the market as a premium product. Dolce Gusto capsules, according to the manufacturer, contain the optimal composition and concentration of substances necessary for the preparation of a masterpiece drink. And coffee machines are distinguished by a stylish and unusual design, which immediately catches the eye among other goods on store shelves.
Nescafe Dolce Gusto Coffee: capsules
The Dolce Dense capsule for each grade is designed in a special way that allows you to adjust the pressure. In the production of certain types of foil containers, separate technical conditions apply, since all types of drinks vary in taste, aroma and saturation. That is why, for example, espresso and cappuccino made from Dolce thick capsules will never have the same strength, but at the same time remain true to the traditional recipe.
The principle of action of capsules Dolce Gusto
After the Dolce Thickly capsule is placed in the coffee machine, the subsequent brewing mechanics are hidden from view. It happens as follows:
- After snapping in, the protective membrane-cap is pierced with a needle, and the bottom of the capsule with a plastic disk.
- Heated water under a pressure of 15 bar passes through the capsule.
- Already finished coffee is fed out through the spout of the machine.
Reusable capsules
Foil containers are designed to brew coffee once. Reusable Dolce Gusto capsules were invented to reduce costs. They differ from ordinary ones in that they are made of plastic, but inside they are not filled in the form of coffee - the product is laid on its own. Like foil, reusable capsules have built-in filters. The stainless steel from which they are made provides brewing coffee up to several tens of times.
As for the lid and bottom of the plastic container, they are already equipped with holes. User reviews indicate that they have been able to significantly reduce costs and time for the purchase of raw materials. In addition, Dolce Gusto reusable capsules can be filled not only with coffee, but also with tea and medicinal herbs.
