  No, the cream is 100% coffee and is the natural result of the extraction process, thanks to which it is possible to obtain a dense and velvety cream on the surface of the coffee. The presence of cream does not indicate the addition of additives or artificial substances, on the contrary it is a sign of the quality of the coffee and correct extraction and helps to improve the aroma, consistency and persistence of the flavor of the coffee.
  The Original Line machines use a high pressure extraction method that creates the right balance between temperature, quantity and speed of the water, obtaining a dense and creamy cream, typical of more traditional formats.

  The machines of the Vertuo Line, thanks to the revolutionary Centrifusion™ technology, allow the extraction of a wide variety of coffees made unique by a rich and soft cream.

• Are there traces of furan in Nespresso coffees?

  All types of coffee, including roasted and ground coffee, contain small amounts of furan in concentrations that are not harmful to health. Furan is an organic compound that forms naturally in foods during heating or cooking. It is present in a wide range of foods and beverages such as grilled vegetables, baked breads, grilled chicken, canned and jarred foods, and all types of coffee.
  Furan is formed in coffee during the roasting process, a fundamental step in the production chain, as it helps to develop the typical taste and aroma of this drink.
  Consumption of coffee, regardless of how it is prepared, is considered safe by all food safety authorities. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA 4104, 2015), have not provided recommendations on maximum levels of furan in dietary intake.

• Does Nespresso practice "rapid roasting"?

  No, Nespresso only uses traditional coffee roasting methods. Coffee roasting is, in fact, a crucial and delicate phase, because it is in this phase that green coffee reveals its unique personality, its taste and its aromas. Nespresso roasting experts do not practice "rapid roasting", which is a roasting method that is carried out at higher temperatures and for a shorter period of time than traditional roasting, but adapt it to the coffee beans based on their characteristics , to create the highest quality coffee. The roasting carried out by Nespresso can vary from 6 to 16 minutes and from 200°C to 240°C.

Recycling

• Are Nespresso capsules recyclable?

• What is done with the recycled aluminium and coffee grounds

  Our recycled capsules fall back into the aluminum value chain, where they are reused for a wide range of products - such as car engines, bicycles, computers, cans or even new capsules. We also reuse coffee grounds to create nutrient-rich compost or green energy. In Italy, in particular, coffee grounds are used for the cultivation of plots of land in the province of Novara, intended for rice fields. The rice produced thanks to this natural fertilizer is purchased by Nespresso and subsequently donated to the Banco Alimentare of Lombardy, Lazio, Piedmont and Puglia.

• Why does Nespresso use aluminium for its capsules?

  We use aluminum because it is the best material to protect the freshness, taste and quality of our coffees. Aluminum is a naturally occurring metal and is infinitely recyclable. Thanks to aluminum, additional packaging is not necessary to protect freshness and taste. Recycled aluminum is extremely versatile. It is estimated that 75% of the aluminum produced is still in use today. Aluminum is used for a wide range of products, from food packaging to cars and computers, from window frames to bicycles.

• How are Nespresso capsules recycled?

  After being returned by customers to the partner boutiques and ecological islands throughout Italy, the capsules are processed to separate the aluminum from the spent coffee. Aluminium, an infinitely recyclable material, is sent to a foundry to be transformed into new objects, coffee becomes compost for the cultivation of rice in Italy, then bought back by Nespresso and donated to food banks in Lombardy, Lazio, Piedmont and Puglia.

• Have you ever considered using plastic capsules as an alternative?

  At Nespresso, as is known, we have chosen aluminum for our capsules to protect the high quality of the coffee but also because it is light and infinitely recyclable. But Nespresso has also recently launched its first paper-based compostable capsules in Switzerland and France, certified as "OK compost HOME" and "OK compost INDUSTRIAL", which can be disposed of through separate collection in the organic waste bag and is collaborating tirelessly with local authorities to promote public composting initiatives.

• What is the carbon footprint of portioned coffee?

  We believe portioned coffee makes sense from a sustainability perspective. We use the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to measure the carbon footprint of our products. We are working at all stages of our product's life cycle, from the bean to the coffee in your cup, to reduce our environmental impact. Since 2009, we have already reduced the carbon footprint of each cup of Nespresso coffee by more than 20%.

• Does portioned coffee generate unnecessary waste?

  We use the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to measure the environmental impact of our products. This approach shows that the greatest impacts are those related to the coffee cultivation processes, followed by the machine use phase. Packaging is not the main driver of environmental impact, it is only in third place. With the Nespresso portioned system, when you prepare your coffee you use the exact amount of water, coffee and energy needed to produce a cup without wasting resources - minimizing the waste of food, water and energy. The timely use of resources in a precision consumption system can actually reduce waste, and in many scenarios this more than offsets the additional packaging used for portioned coffee.

• How can Nespresso customers recycle their used capsules?

  With Nespresso it is possible to recycle coffee capsules by returning them after use to boutiques with an active recycling area and to partner eco-islands throughout Italy. Subsequently, aluminum and spent coffee will be separated and processed. In the provinces of Lecco, Lodi, Monza and Brianza and in some municipalities of Milan we have started a recycling system that allows us to differentiate the capsules used in the lightweight multi-material bag together with other aluminum products. Our ambition is to include our aluminum capsules in collective recycling schemes, which is why we are continuing to work with governments and local authorities.
