Caffitaly reusable capsules: myths vs. reality
Caffitaly reusable capsules: myth or responsible revolution?
The market for capsule coffee machines continues to grow. Among them, the Caffitaly system stands out for its unique technology and the quality of its espressos. But in the era of zero waste and energy conservation, a question arises: can we combine taste, convenience, and environmental responsibility with Caffitaly reusable capsules ?
At Cafécolo, we hear a lot of things about them. So today, we're sorting through it all. Myth or reality? We're debunking the common misconceptions about Caffitaly reusable capsules, one by one.
Myth #1: Caffitaly reusable capsules are not compatible with all machines.
Fact: This is partially true, but a simple check is enough to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Some Caffitaly machines require capsules of a very specific shape. But today, most Cafécolo reusable capsules are designed to fit a wide range of models (including Tchibo Caffissimo, Cafissimo Pure, Classic, Latte, Easy, TuttoCaffè, etc.). For the rare exceptions, Cafécolo has set up an ultra-simple online compatibility test that guides you step by step according to your machine.
Myth #2: It's too complicated and takes too long to use.
Reality: Once you get the hang of it, it doesn't take more than 30 seconds.
As with any change of habit, the first time requires a little curiosity. But filling your reusable Caffitaly capsule with freshly roasted ground coffee quickly becomes a pleasurable ritual. You are free to measure as you like, vary the aromas, and above all… say goodbye to disposable capsules and the waste they generate .
Myth #3: The taste is not as good as with disposable capsules.
In reality: It's often the opposite!
Many of our customers report a richer, more authentic taste. Why? Because they choose their own coffee, its origin, and its grind. The result: a personalized espresso, without additives or aluminum . And for those who want to go even further, it's possible to optimize the extraction with light tamping and a grind adapted to the Caffitaly system.
Myth #4: Reusable capsules eventually leak or break.
Reality: Not with a quality capsule.
At Cafécolo, we use food-grade stainless steel, resistant to over 10,000 uses . The capsule is designed to last for several years. Maintenance is simple: a rinse with water is all it takes, and occasional cleaning with white vinegar ensures perfect hygiene. Unlike plastic or aluminum capsules, they do not release any microparticles into your hot beverage.
Myth #5: It's good for the environment, but not for the wallet.
Fact: False! It's an extremely profitable investment.
A reusable Caffitaly capsule costs €29.90 (current promotion). With an average consumption of two coffees per day, you save up to €450 per year compared to disposable capsules . In just a few weeks, your purchase pays for itself, while significantly reducing your waste.
Myth #6: It's not really an eco-friendly gesture.
Reality: It's one of the most effective everyday actions.
A disposable coffee capsule takes over 150 years to decompose in nature. A single reusable Cafécolo capsule can prevent the production of over 1,000 disposable capsules . And if you use organic, locally sourced, or fair-trade loose-leaf coffee, the environmental impact is even lower. When used by thousands of people, the effect is massive.
Conclusion: What if true luxury was freedom?
Using a reusable Caffitaly capsule isn't just about helping the planet. It's about taking back control of what you drink, its quality, taste, and the impact of your choices. It's saying no to standardized coffee and plastic dependency, and yes to conscious, elegant, and sustainable consumption.
