A line-up that gathers the icons of Italian espresso alongside our own house blend:

• Our own-label range Maracatú, with Intenso, Gran Crema, Sublime, 100% Arabica and Decaffeinato blends and a clear intensity scale from 7 to 10/10

How to choose the right pod

Start with intensity: the Maracatú line shows a clear scale from 7 to 10/10, while the other brands range from delicate to medium and bold profiles. If you love a smooth cup, go for 100% Arabica blends or Arabica-forward recipes (70-30); for a thick crema and a full body, lean towards Arabica-Robusta or 100% Robusta blends in the Neapolitan style. You will also find decaf for the evening, flavoured coffees (hazelnut, caramel, pistachio, chocolate), barley and ginseng alternatives, and even herbal teas and teas in ESE 44 paper-filter pods, such as chamomile with melatonin or detox and ginger-lemon versions. Filters by blend, drink type and intensity help you narrow things down in a few clicks.

Formats and compatibility

Every pod meets the 44 mm ESE standard and therefore works with paper-pod machines and adapters. On the shelf you will find packs of 50, 100 and 150 pieces, plus special formats of 18 and 40 pods and bundles with extra pieces, like Kimbo's 150+10 free pods. The larger formats are ideal for anyone who drinks several coffees a day, at home, in the office or in a waiting room, cutting down how often you need to reorder.
