You've already experienced that frustrating moment: you insert a capsule into your coffee machine and... the coffee doesn't flow, or it has an unusual taste. The reason is almost always the same: a compatibility problem between the capsule and the machine. The good news is that there are simple solutions to fix this.

Identify your machine's system

Each coffee machine works with a specific type of capsule. A Nespresso Original uses small aluminum capsules designed for espresso. A Nespresso Vertuo recognizes larger capsules using a barcode. Dolce Gusto machines use larger plastic capsules, also suitable for teas and chocolates. Finally, Lavazza A Modo Mio machines only accept their own capsules.

Why a “compatible” capsule can block

Even with the “compatible” label, some capsules pose a problem. The most common causes are:

• A blockage linked to a capsule that is too tight or poorly sized.
• A water leak when the cover is not perforated correctly.
• Coffee that is too weak or bitter due to incomplete extraction.
• A dented capsule or one stored too long which loses its watertightness.

Solutions to avoid blockages

To limit these inconveniences, certain reflexes make the difference:

• Check the exact compatibility indicated on the packaging.
• Test different brands as sizing may vary.
• Start with small quantities before buying in volume.
• Maintain the machine regularly to avoid clogged drilling.
• Set aside damaged or old capsules.
