Nespresso is nothing but Espresso coffee developed by Nestle, the multinational company of repute. The company has acquired expertise in making Espresso coffee. It will be more apt to say that Nestle has mastered the art of coffee making and Nespresso is one step ahead of other brands of Espresso in all relevant aspects pointed out earlier. The cardinal principle of Nespresso coffee machine is that the specially prepared coffee paste encapsulated has to be used in it. The capsule method is adopted to ensure that the quality of coffee is not compromised. It also ensures that those who use Nespresso machines have to make use of Nespresso capsules exclusively prepared by the company. As a result of this method the machine manufacturers not only ensure the quality of the machine but also the quality of the product. Each capsule is filled with finest coffee paste prepared from quality coffee grounds. Special methodology has been adopted in the preparation of the capsules.
Aluminium capsules produced by Nestle are filled with the coffee paste made of quality ingredients and refined methods. The filled capsules cannot be tampered with easily. Capsules have self life of nine months. Superior quality of Nespresso is maintained by the way water is pumped, heated and injected at high pressure into the coffee capsules already stored in the machines. The machine is featured by 19 bar pump pressure, heating element, programmable supply of water, sensors to check the quality of water, removable water reservoir and drip tray. The water is heated to 89 deg.c and injected at the same pressure into the capsule by the thermo block unit. All other Espresso machines use either a boiler system which has facility to pre-heat water to generate steam. They adopt a method wherein steam is passed through coffee grounds. The quality of the machines is guaranteed by the manufacturers. But the quality of the product depends on the coffee grounds chosen by the users. The taste and aroma of Espresso will be adversely affected if good quality coffee grounds are not used.
Nespresso coffee remains the most favourite drink of the consumers for reasons best explained above. The brand holder Nestle takes responsibility for the quality of machines as well as the output.
