Q: What brewers will the Capsules work in?
A: These refillable reusable espresso capsules can be used with compatible brewers: Essenza, Citiz, Pixie, U, and Lattissima and other brewers (except brewers with one pin: F897, F896, F893). For pre-October 2010 brewers, simply remove the red silicone ring. Note: This product will not work with Dolce Gusto® Brewers, Tassimo® Brewers, Keurig® Brewers, or any other brand.
Q: How many times can the capsule be reused?
A: You should be able to reuse them over 30 times maybe as many as 100 times. It really depends on how careful you are with the capsule. It is pretty durable.
Q: What is the capsule made out of?
A: My-Cap capsule is made of food-safe polypropylene. There are two (top and bottom) 304 stainless steel screens used to filter out the coffee grounds. In addition, there is an o-ring made of out silicone rubber used with later model brewers.
Q: What about BPA?
A: Our products are BPA free. All of our products use an FDA approved material.
Q: Why would I want more than 1?
A: True, you could get by on just one capsule. However, the reason most people buy the single-serve brewers is because of the convenience. If you buy just one then you have to always be rinsing a capsule out and making one before making your brew. If you buy more than one capsule then you can make up a bunch of them in advance and then just use them like you would with a regular capsule.
Q: Why use the reusable capsule?
A: The primary reason is cost. Reusing our capsule reduces your cost per cup significantly. In addition, you will help the environment by not using as many capsules.
Q: What coffee grind should I use?
A: Make sure you are using a good coffee, preferably something with a bold strong taste. The grind MUST be an espresso grind. If you try and use regular coffee in the capsule it will come out weak.
Q: Is this product dishwasher safe?
A: Yes. It should be fine.
