The Coffeeduck Espressocup is a refillable cup for using loose espresso coffee in your
Nespresso® coffee maker. This way, you can enjoy your favourite espresso blend in an
economical and environmentally friendly way.
Coffeeduck Espressocup
suitable for Nespresso®-devices
NOTE
:
NOT suitable for Nespresso®-Krups coffee makers with 1 pin notches. Also not suitable for
coffee makers with automatic capsules
The Coffeeduck Espressocup fits into the Nespresso® coffee maker and, provided you follow
these instructions correctly, will result in a delicious cup of espresso with a frothy head. The
espresso blend used MUST have a fine, evenly ground texture, i.e. the granules must all be of
the same size. The ground coffee must also be roasted for espresso. We recommend talking
to your coffee retailer about the best coffee to use. It takes a little practice to learn to fill the
Espressocups, but it’s a skill that’s easy to learn. Once you have gotten the hang of it after trying
it a few times, you will be amazed by the results.
Before using the Coffeeduck Espressocup:
• Make sure you are using the right Espressocup for your coffee machine (produced BEFORE
1 Oct 2010 or AFTER 1 Oct 2010).
• Check to make sure your Nespresso® coffee maker is clean and in good working condition.
• Clean the Coffeeduck Espressocup with soap and water and dry it off thoroughly.
• If possible, store the espresso coffee in a shallow container to make it easier to fill the
Espressocup.
How to use the Coffeeduck Espressocup:
• Scoop out the ground coffee with the Espressocup and press the Espressocup (using slight
pressure) against the inside of the container to make sure it is filled completely. Alternatively,
fill the Espressocup using a teaspoon. Always fill it completely to the top edge.
• Push the ground coffee down into the Espressocup. Please note: pushing too hard can cause
the ground coffee to become too compact, while pushing them too gently will result in an
extremely weak cup of coffee. You will have to develop a feel for how much pressure is just right.
• Close the Espressocup.
• Insert the Espressocup into the Nespresso® and make sure the edge of the cover
is pointing upward.
• Close the Nespresso® coffee maker.
• Press the 1-cup button and check to make sure the coffee is pouring out evenly.
After using the Coffeeduck Espressocup:
• Open the coffee maker carefully (the Espressocup might stick a little; if so, simply push it
downwards to loosen it).
• You can clean the Espressocup immediately by rinsing it under the tap or remove the grounds
later on using a teaspoon.
• Make sure the inside of the cover and the bottom of the Espressocup (filter and holes) are
cleaned properly and unblocked. If necessary, use a washing-up brush for extra cleaning.
• You can clean the Espressocup in the dishwasher.
