During the first stage, water enters the capsule, saturating the coffee which allows flavors to develop and intensify. In the second stage, the coffee exits through a valve specially designed to enhance the body and aroma while also creating a velvety crema topping. Both stages occur directly inside the capsule never letting the coffee come in contact with the machine, meaning virtually no mess or clean up. Discover your favorite espresso.
