Love Food Hate Waste
The Love Food Hate Waste campaign promotes less food waste in New Zealand. Ross from Auckland recently posted a tip on their site suggesting that people check out mycoffeecapsules and our dated stock of Nespresso and Dolce Gusto pods. His tip, Don't Be Afraid of Best Before Dates, is a perfect way to get our message across. Thanks, Ross....

October 19, 2016Nespresso And Best Before Dates
We get asked this question heaps because most of the genuine Nespresso capsules that we resell are short dated or beyond their best before dates. Coffee is spoiled by three things : light, air and humidity. If ground coffee comes into prolonged contact with any of these, then you can expect the original taste of the coffee to become affected. This is true for all food items. Nespresso pods are hermetically sealed (air tight). This protects the ground coffee from the three coffee spoilers. Ev...

October 4, 2016Nespresso Warranties (The BIG Myth)
We got an email today from The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment giving advice on the rights of the consumer under the Consumer Guarantees Act. This got me thinking about the Nespresso Warranties again so I called our local Noel Leeming and asked them about using compatible capsules in Nespresso machines. I was told that my machine warranty would be void if I did. I politely put the phone down. They are wrong. Nespresso cannot void warranties just because you admit to using a com...
September 22, 2016Can My Nespresso Machine Make Cold Drinks?
Most people do not realise that they can actually make cold drinks using their Nespresso machine. Simply push and hold the milk frother button for about 3 seconds, it will turn blue and start to whisk the milk but not heat it. Bingo, you have a cold drink option. ...

As you might know, we can save you heaps of money on Dolce Gusto pods : somewhere between 20% and 30% : the more you buy the better per pod price you get.

July 14, 2016Understanding Your Nespresso Machine
You have to give Nespresso a pat on the back when it comes to their Nespresso Machine Videos. They are pretty spot on. So if your Inissia needs descaling or your Prodigio isn't making the latte that it used to, then check them out before doing anything else. Remember, we can beat Nespresso's prices hands down when it comes to descaling products....
June 30, 2016How "Green" Is Caffesso?
Original Nespresso pods (made from aluminium) cannot be recycled in the normal way. Instead, they must be washed out and returned to either one of the Nespresso Stores or one of their appointed drop off points. We are not really sure (and Nespresso won't tell us either), how many pods are actually returned so it is anyone's guess as to how successful this initiative is. For Caffesso, it's different. Everything except the pod foil can be recycled in the normal way. The outer carton and the plasti...
June 27, 2016Got A Charity Thing Happening?
Ria Llloyd contacted us about providing some Caffesso Coffee Capsules for the Marlborough Primary School Pink Ribbon Breakfast a couple of weeks ago. We were happy to be a part of it particularly when she reported back that they had smashed their previous record with a massive $711 raised. It got us thinking, let's do this again. So, if you have a good cause, a Nespresso machine and an event of some sorts, then get in touch to see if we can help....
June 15, 2016Mumma's Nook - A Review of Caffesso
Through our contacts at Kiwi Mummy Blogs, we found Jennifer Burridge. She writes her own blogs under the name Mumma's Nook and previously bought her pods mostly from Nespresso. Now, she doesn't. Read her full review here and find out why she has made the switch to Caffesso....
May 22, 2016Pure Origin or Single Origin - Nespresso
They are the same thing. A pure origin or single origin coffee is made of coffees coming from the same country of origin. Nespresso charge more for pure origin but we don't. Our Caffesso Colombian is one of two single origin blends that we supply : Sidamo being the other. The Colombian is a premium Arabica single origin coffee has been expertly roasted to deliver a balanced taste with winey notes and full body. Colombian coffees are believed to be the richest in the world and our roasting prof...
May 13, 2016The Dolce Gusto Pod Drought
We think New Zealand gets a poor deal when it comes to Dolce Gusto pods. We are trying to change this one pod at a time by offering lower pod prices and a greater range of blends and flavours. Honestly, we cannot keep up with demand and we often sell out very, very quickly. We tend to receive Dolce Gusto stock about once every 2-3 months so if you would like to be one of the first to know about it, then please subscribe to our LET ME KNOW LIST on our website here. Thank you....
April 29, 2016The Full Caffesso Range : 10 Blends
Caffesso is changing. The moody people over at Nespresso and their constant whinging about patents has meant that each Caffesso pod needed a foil wrapper to keep the coffee fresh. Now, it doesn't. Nespresso patents have fallen away and there is new technology which has paved the way for a new Caffesso pod. In fact, Caffesso is the first fully hermetically sealed Nespresso compatible pod in the World. This means that it is air tight and so the foil wrapper is no longer required. That pesky foil...
April 24, 2016What Does The Nespresso Intensity Rating Actually Mean?
Lots of Nespresso Machine Owners think that intensity and caffeine content are related. They are not. So, the Nespresso Kazaar and the Caffesso Intenso, both with an intensity 12, might not necessarily have more caffeine content than one of the milder blends in each of the ranges. Instead, the intensity is defined as a combination of roast, body and bitterness. If you like a strong blend to cut through your flat white, then try the Caffesso Forza Roma. Its our best seller. ...
April 7, 2016Descaling Your Nespresso Machine In New Zealand
Nespresso have released a great set of videos that show you how to descale your machine, how to reprogram cup size, what to do before your first brew and how to clean your Aeroccino Milk Frother. If you want to save some money on descaling, then we can help. The original Nespresso Descaling Kit in New Zealand is $20 (plus shipping) for 2 sachets (2 descales). We sell Descaling Tablets which do the exact same thing for just $5 for 1 sachet (2 descales) : that's 75% discount. Beat that one, George...
April 4, 2016The All New Prodigio Nespresso Machine
So, Nespresso have released their first new machine for almost 2 years. The Prodigio has all the usual features of a Nespresso machine but has the added feature of bluetooth connectivity. This feature allows you to connect the machine to your smart phone which in turn means that you perform a number of activities from your device. You can schedule a brew time (just like an automatic tea machine from the 1980s), manage your capsule stock with reordering from the Nespresso site and receive rem...
March 22, 2016New Caffesso Capsule Reduces Landfill
For years, Nespresso have vigorously enforced its patents against third parties looking to bring to market a Nespresso compatible capsule. This has meant that Nespresso's competitors, including Caffesso, have had to make modifications to the materials and the design of its capsules or risk being taken to court. Sometimes, these modifications have had a negative knock on effect. You would have noticed that each Caffesso capsule is currently sold in a sealed foil wrapper. This is because the back...
January 18, 2016Which Nespresso Pod is the Best in New Zealand?
We first launched Caffesso in New Zealand during July 2014 after a 3 month selection process. During those 3 months, we reviewed all the Nespresso Capsules on the market at that time : both locally in NZ and around the World. We chose to represent Caffesso because it offered great tasting award winning coffee at less than 35% cost of original Nespresso. We think it is the BEST NESPRESSO COMPATIBLE POD on the market and lots of our customers agree : Check out our Facebook Reviews for independen...
January 14, 2016Choosing a Nespresso Machine : Which Model is Best?
We have been using Nespresso for over 10 years and selling it for about 18 months and are happy to share with you what we know. Of course, these are our personal views only. First up, don't buy an after market machine. The original machines in New Zealand are made by De Longhi and Breville and are actually quite good value. An after market machine (like Capodcino from Countdown) might only be 20% or 30% cheaper than an original machine so we don't think that the cost savings are worth it. Plus...
November 26, 2015Descaling My Nespresso Machine
Nespresso suggests that you descale your Nespresso machine once per every 300 brews. Descaling is an essential part of maintaining your Nespresso machine since it removes calcium deposits that have built up inside the machine. Calcium deposits can lead to poor performance and ultimately, an early grave for your lovely coffee maker. In New Zealand, Nespresso sells a descaling solution pack for $20 (22nd October 2015). You get two sachets which will gives you two descales. We sell a single descali...
