Capsule Coffee Quality Maintenance Period
The freshness of coffee greatly affects its taste and aroma.
So, when is it safe to consume capsule coffee?
How long is the shelf-life of capsule coffee?
All food products have an expiration date.
This is now referred to as the "consumption date."
Nespresso calls this the "quality maintenance period."
Capsule coffee is crafted through a precise production
process to maintain its freshness for an extended period.
Nespresso’s coffee specialists blend freshly
roasted and ground beans in exact amounts,
then seal them in capsules to block out light and air.
This process ensures that the coffee's unique aroma
and characteristics are preserved for up to 15 months.
How are capsule coffees manufactured?
Nespresso provides the best coffee experience through
its Freshness Capture Science, a method that perfectly
preserves the freshness and aroma of the coffee.
Nespresso uses aluminum for its capsules.
Aluminum protects the coffee's quality
and freshness from oxygen, light, and moisture.
Inside the capsule, there's an invisible thin edible film
approved by the FDA that prevents direct contact
between the coffee and the aluminum.
Additionally, Nespresso coffee machines are meticulously
designed to ensure that aluminum does not come into
contact with water during the circulation process.
Is it safe to drink from an expired capsule coffee?
Nespresso capsule coffee has a 'quality maintenance period.'
The quality maintenance period indicates the time during
which the unique quality of the food can be maintained
if stored properly according to the characteristics of the food.
Even after the quality maintenance period has passed,
the coffee contents remain unchanged, but the taste
and the aroma of the coffee may slightly diminish.
Therefore, it is recommended to consume the coffee
within the quality maintenance period.
