How to use a Pod Machine

Artisan Coffee Co. pods are Nespresso® compatible and suitable for most pod machines on the market (with the exception of the Nespresso Vertuo®). We are big fans of the Opal One machine at Artisan HQ as it has been specifically designed to brew speciality coffee pods but our step-by-step guide can be used for all pod machines.

 

Read on to find out how, with just a few simple adjustments to the way you brew, you can make your pod coffee taste even more delicious than you ever thought possible.

Once the machine is hot, flush the machine by pressing the ‘espresso’ or ‘short’ button without a coffee pod. This will help to keep the machine clean, heat the brew chamber, and warm up your espresso cup. Discard the water.
