The new premium espresso coffee capsule system produces high-quality coffee through its innovative design and precision piercing technology. Sold separately, the full system includes:

  • Caprista Machine – With its compact and stylish design, Caprista produces perfect café-quality espresso coffee with the single push of a button. Features professional grade 19 bar pump pressure, programmable pour function, waste capsule and water level indicators, energy saving mode and more. Available in Black and Pearl White. Suggested retail price is $99.
  • Milk Frother – Easily connects to the Caprista machine allowing anyone to create barista-quality textured milk at the touch of a button for perfect flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes. Includes two froth settings for personalization, as well as warm and cold milk frothing. Suggested retail price is $35.
  • Espressotoria Capsules – Elegantly designed, and filled with 100 percent Arabica coffee sourced from around the world, then blended and roasted by expert coffee roasters. Each capsule is sealed to preserve freshness, and made from lightweight, aluminum-free packaging. Home recyclable when coffee and top seal are removed. Suggested retail price for a 12 pack of capsules is $9.95. Available in a range of roasts and strengths, including:
    • Espresso: Characteristic of an Italian style espresso, this dark roasted coffee features a rich flavor and slight sweetness at the first sip. Elegantly balanced with a strong, intense, full-bodied flavor.
    • Colombian Single Origin: Transport yourself to the South American hilltops with each sip. Offers a light and fruity taste for a delicious, smooth cup.
    • Decaf: Decaffeinated naturally by using the Water Decaffeination process, yet retains a rich, syrupy sweetness at first taste before tapering to a clean, crisp, flavorsome cup.
    • Latte: An intense coffee with full, rich flavor, and a spicy aftertaste that still delivers a full-bodied taste when enjoyed with milk.
    • Brazilian Breakfast Blend: Light in body with a crisp and delicate acidity, this blend delivers a smooth finish with rich crème. Can be enjoyed as an espresso or with milk.
    • Organic: This medium dark roast combines 100 percent Certified Organic Arabica beans sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. The well-balanced espresso delivers a sweet and nutty aftertaste when enjoyed with milk.
