Can coffee capsules be used without a machine?
Dunk the Capsule: Submerge the capsule into a cup of hot water, much like you would with a tea bag. Let it steep for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the hot water to penetrate and extract the coffee grounds inside. Stir and Serve: Stir the water gently while dunking to ensure even extraction. Remove the cap from the capsule and fill it with your chosen ground coffee. We recommend using a handy measuring cup. Now you need to lightly squeeze the coffee, conventional tamper cups are usually too big, so a spoon is best. Some measuring cups have a back side adapted for this purpose.Dunk the Capsule: Submerge the capsule into a cup of hot water, much like you would with a tea bag.

Can I use a coffee capsule twice?
Each Nespresso pod is meant for single use. Re-using a Nespresso pod for a second brewing will produce a significantly weaker and diluted cup of coffee with less flavour and aroma. While this may vary from person to person and blend to blend, it’s generally accepted that around 4-5 capsules per day or 3 for more robust blends is ideal. Be sure to check the strength of your Nespresso pods – this is usually on the packaging as an industry standard.
