Nespresso's coffee blends are packed in individual capsules made of aluminium. The qualities of this material ensure that we can provide you with coffee of the highest quality.
The aluminium provides optimal protection for the coffee by effectively preventing impact from light, UV rays, moisture, oil, fat, and acids, as well as micro-organisms. Aluminium is hygienic, non-toxic, fully recyclable and does not affect the taste of the coffee.
By using this type of packaging for our coffee, we are able to guarantee coffee of the highest quality. The hermetically closed packaging preserves the freshness and intensity of all the aromas while it also protects against outside forces.
Aluminium is without a doubt the lightest packaging material. This leads to a reduced need of raw materials and energy resources, which also reduces transport-related polution to the environment.
Aluminium exists in the natural environment and is the third most common substance found in earth's crust. Besides that aluminium is the most common metal and is even found in food. Some products, which are naturally rich in aluminium, are tea, spices, herbs, cocoa, soy, and leaf greens (e.g. spinach and salad). Tap water and milk also contains traces of aluminium.
