Why does Nespresso use aluminum capsules?

Nespresso is committed to delivering the highest quality coffee, which we guarantee by preserving the freshness and intensity of the coffee aromas in the best way possible. No other capsule material can preserve the freshness and aromas of our coffees so well and at the same time interact with our machines to produce such consistently high quality coffee. Aluminum provides the perfect sealing to protect the delicate aromas from air, light, humidity and microorganisms. Aluminum has long been used as industrial and household food packaging material, it is completely tasteless and odorless and can be recycled practically infinitely. In fact, we have installed more than 2,000 collection points where you can dispose of Nespresso capsules for recycling. In some selected regions of Austria you can also recycle your capsules through public recycling collection. Locate your nearest collection point here.
