hi thanks for watching this video
today I'm going to make a review
of different type both capsules available now
for the Nespresso machine that are
reusable or not reusable. Anyway
the End User can fill them. And the reason I'm doing this
video is because I'm a distributor of some of these products
and I have several client asking the same question always
which one is the better, what is the comparison, what is your review, or
which one do you suggest
so, I thought maybe I'll just show you
and then you can decide for yourself
Ok, so we are going to do a two part video
the first one I'm going to show you how
the plastic capsules performance. For example here we have Capsul'in
sorry, grabbed two
is one is a French brand
and they sell very good in Europe as I recall.
And this one is NE-CAP, is a Spanish brand, actually the original one
in this type of product
Both of these our DISPOSALBLE. That means you only use one time and then you
get rid of it. And the third one
is EMOHOME, this one is reusable as you can see,
it has the
cover with a stainless steel mesh, and you can reuse this
the manufacturer says that you can use this up to
30~50 times but I've been using this like 60 times or more,
or 80 times and a just works well
keeps working. It is a good product, but not very convenient
and I'll show you how (while cleaning) and this one is what our company developed
the brand is BigSis,
And the model is PP-1, because it's made of PP (polypropylene) material
the second one is
Not for
end user, but is more for a coffee roasters (OEM brand)
This one is called PP-2
And the third one, this is available in my country
and they sell it as a reusable model
I don't remember the brand-name me,
but I think it's Amber or Amby, and the cover
is also made of plastic and
in the back, it has to be paper filter
this one is a little bit dirty because I already use it
so and then we have
MYCOFFEESTAR, very high and the product
It's swiss made
(I'm sorry) it's made of stainless steel
is MYCOFFEESTAR, very nice product (Actually) this is the first one
in the stainless steel version
and then we have an asian
clone one of Mycoffestar
is are almost the same
with different thingys
one client sent me this one
today, because she says that she is having problem and I thought maybe I'll just
try it in my video today, because I was just going to do it (anyway)
so, we are going to test this one next time (i meant in the part 2 of this video)
but I see that the holes here are
smaller than the holes in Mycoffeestar
As you can see, maybe?
maybe now? can see
this one has smaller holes and even weight a little be lighter
lighter than Mycoffeestar, Mycoffeestar
is a little bit heavier
and this one is another product that my company developed, and this is to be use like all BigSis with
with Sticker Lids.
Now we are going to start
but first of all, we are going to grind some coffee
So you can see, we will use the same grind, the same coffee,
in all these capsules
the coffee where are you seeing today
is Full city roast
Mocha. So now we are going to a star with Capsul'in
but before we start with Capsul'in
ah.. in my previous video someone says that I was being
unfair testing Capsuling at the end (when the water temperature is already too hot)
so this time I am going to test it
at the beginning ...later
okay, we will test it first for you to see
why why I dunno (like it)
You will see better
ok
now, we are going to take the capsule out
And
as you can see there's nothing here nothing
so the capsule is stuck
inside
and this is what is left of the capsule
so I don't know if
it melt or if it's
it just deformed for
maybe water temperature pressure
pressure I don't know.
getting back
on filling the capsules
First one Capsul'in. (I'm sorry)
What I'm going to do here is to
weight the capsules first for you to see
how much coffee can go inside each product
so for the first one, ON
now the weight is ZERO as you can see, we fill this one
for this product I think its not very good to press
very firmly, because they are
vacuum thermoformed, so
it might deformed (becoz of the thin wall thickness)
and then we are going to use it's
sticker lids. Oh no, before
using the sticker lids, were going to see how much
it weights
4.81gr. This might vary
depending on how much
coffee you press inside. So here's the first one
Capsul'in
finished
and the second one we are going to fill its NE-CAP so we
also are going to reset to zero and fill it
with coffee
press gently
and
take this off
and
and use the cover
and because my machine is
a new model, so we have tho use
the EVA ring, and it attach like this
so this is Ne-cap
And now we are going to test Emohome
put it here, reset to zero
I think we forgot to measure this one. sorry
i'm so sorry.
We are going to put a blank capsule first to reset to zero,
take the EVA out, the weight is
4.43gr so
for Ne-cap the weight is like that and we're going to test
we are going to
put Emohome, and set to zero
fill the capsule. For this
model will have to look press firmly, because
in the cover it already has holes
because of the stainless steel mesh
so we have to Press more
firmly, and close it
otherwise.. I'm going to tell you why..
because if you don't put some pressure when the
water goes in, it just comes out directly (oops.. can't see the capsule)
when the water goes in, it just comes out directly.
it meets no barriers so know the coffee will be lighter
well this is for Emohome
we weight, 5.63gr (error...)
is this correct?? we can check again
put it here, reset to zero
this is an empty one..
and then we put on the one we've covered (with coffee)
the correct weight is 4.61grm
4.61gr
next, we are going to use the Big-sis
This is to be use with sticker lids, so
the same, we reset to 0
fill the capsule
and we use our own sticker lids
and we weight
4.58gr
Then for the Bigsis model 2, PP-2
reset to zero
we weight
4.88grm,
and now we're going to fill this one
Amber, reset to
zero
use its own reusable lid
you can see the reusable lid, and
it has paper filter. I don't know why these
item is being sold as a reusable model
because honestly you can never reuse paper filter
after getting wet, drying
it may not be very clean
so you seal it like this
ay.. I forgot to weight first (AGAIN!!)
okay
4.99 gr. This is by far the winner now
which the most coffe can be filled
And so now, we are going to test these capsules
And again we are going to start
with Capsulin
the same one we filled. This is the SAME ONE
I'm going to move up the machine so you can
see is the same one we filled, is not another one.........
a little bit of water at first
and ahhh..
it was supposed to extract 40ml
of water, of coffee I'm sorry
but what it draw, what is?
30ml
So here is the first one
then we're going to try and Ne-cap
be careful (for the EVA rignt not to fell off)
(machine working)
Ne-cap
and then
Emohome
this is Emohome
And then Bigsis
PP1
I think the Emohome got stuck
yeap, the Emohome got stuck
As you can see this NOT problem of the PP1
of the BigSis, this is problem of the Emohome, because
it got stuck, ok....
we are now going to test BigSis again
this is the fullest cup by far
for the medium extraction
Ok, next BigSis
PP2 model
this capsule has NO-holes
but it's compatible with
the Nespresso U
the Nespresso U
and finally where going to test this
Amber
water water water and then coffee
this capsule is not
not
not very good , this is not a very good product
wo, what I'm going to do now is to take these
off so youcan see the comparison from a horizontal view
and I'm going to
taste the coffee
Capsul'in it draws about 30ml of water
then we have Ne-cap which draws
40ml out of water (sorry.. coffee)
Emohome, also 40ml, but the crema is not
is very thin compare to Ne-cap
reminder : these two are
are dispossible. Now, we have the BigSis
comparing to Emohome and it has a thicker crema
And then we have PP-2
also very thick crema, and then we have: I don't know WHAT
Amber.........., so again
we can see Capsulin, Ne-cap
Emohome, BigSis-PP1
BigSis-PP2 with no holes
and Amber. So what
we are going to try now is drink them
Nop, this one i'm not going to drink
because I'm a little bit afraid
of the melting plastic. So sorry (Sorry Capsul'in, don't sue me ..)
And Ne-cap
with very good consistency
(me drinking coffee)
strong coffee well maybe because it's dark roast
Emohome,
sorry have to show you the crema first
no, no much crema
these is a very watery, weak coffee
Big Sis pp1 sorry.. blablabla
the crema first
very thick crema, impressive
I like crema in my coffee
very nice
full body
very tasty
Bigsis PP-2, the model with all homes
the crema is also very good
but it does not draw 40ml
of water maybe 38 ml of water (new product still making some adjustments..)
As you can see
(i'm sorry, trying to get my camera to focus)
hmm
nice also, is very similar to PP-1
but the body is now very very heavy (will fix that soon)
a little bit lighter but
in performance
I like BigSis, PP1 and PP2 and Ne-cap
