Instructions for using Silicone Cap and Lid:

Prepare the capsule for reuse by removing the foil with a sharp cutting tool. Wash, rinse, and dry before using.

Fill an empty capsule with coffee of choice to the foil line. Tamp lightly, while ensuring to not pack too tightly.

The silicone cap may be used with or without a filter (personal preference).

To use without a filter, place a cap on top of the lightly tamped coffee.

To use with a filter, place filter on the coffee, then carefully press the cap onto the filter, ensuring cap and filter are secure and even with the foil line.

To prepare capsules for future use, follow filling instructions, then place a silicone lid on the capsule for an airtight seal.

Store and use as needed.

When ready to brew, remove the lid and place the capsule with cap in the brewer.

Instructions for Using Foils:

Start with an empty capsule and completely fill it with coffee.

Make sure the grind is espresso and a good grade of coffee. The taste is only as good as the coffee put into the capsule.

Clean the edges of the capsule.

Center foil on top of the capsule.

To determine where to place the foil, use the alignment circle edge on the holder.

Use the end of the brush, to depress the inside edge of the foil on the capsule. Be gentle. Do not break the foil.

Press foil down around the edges. Make sure the barcode under the capsule is still showing.

If needed just let the foil hang down.

Place the capsule into the brewer, and close.
Brew and enjoy.

Instructions for Using My-Cap Cap:

Start with an empty VertuoLine capsule and fill with your favorite coffee, tamp down.

Make sure the grind is espresso and it is a good grade of coffee. The taste is only as good as the coffee you put in the capsule.

Fill the capsule completely with coffee. The cap must rest on a solid layer of coffee to reduce the stress of being pushed down so hard

Clean off the edges of the capsule.

Clean off the edges. Place filter on top of coffee and capsule and then place cap on top of capsule. Make sure the text side is up and pressed evenly into the capsule.

Place the capsule into the VertuoLine brewer and close.

Do not force the handle. If you have any trouble closing the unit, reopen it and then try again.
Brew and enjoy.

Q: How many times can the silicone cap and lid be reused?

A: If you are careful with it, indefinitely.

Q: What products are required for refilling a capsule for brewing, and storing filled capsules for later use?

A: For brewing, all you need is a silicone cap. The use of a filter depends on personal preference. For storing refilled capsules and maintaining freshness, you need a silicone lid to place on the refilled capsule.

Q: Is the filter required?

A: The use of the filter is purely based on personal preference. Some find the filter is beneficial in reducing coffee particulates and others see no difference in using just the silicone cap without a filter. The choice is yours!

Q: What type of coffee should I use?

A: Always use a fresh, high quality coffee. The crema and strength will vary depending on the type used.
