Krups Parts Coffee
Nespresso, a coffee developed by Nestlé. The name is derived from the name of the company and espresso. Both the capsules and the method of making krups parts coffee is patented. The krups parts coffee is oxygen free (with only nitrogen) into an aluminum capsule packed, so the krups parts coffee stays fresh much longer than such pads or krups parts coffee pods. This device is opened and the hot water is by using a pump to a pressure of 1. 9 MPa (19 bar) stir up, squeezed through. The relatively expensive capsules (in the Netherlands € 0. 33 and € 0. 37 per piece for the espressos and € 0. 35 per piece for the lungo's) are only produced and sold at a fixed price by Nespresso itself. In a Nespresso machine can therefore only be using these capsules. Can therefore be discounts on the purchase of devices are given. The ordering of these capsules could only Internet and phone in the so-called Nespresso Club. Meanwhile, the capsules also available at ten locations in the Beehive. There they are, still in the house of Nespresso, Nespresso boutiques sold in so-called. All krups parts coffee and capsules are protected by 70 patents, so the formula thus an example of a vendor lock-in. The patents will expire in 2012. Nespresso has developed its own quality program, in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance: Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality ™ Program. The program has been running since 2003. The AA is the mark of the highest quality krups parts coffee that is offered on the world, the third A is for sustainability (sustainability). This program will help krups parts coffee farmers improve quality development, as well as improved efficiency, resulting in a higher price for the krups parts coffee can be obtained and thus a higher income. Yet less than 50% of its krups parts coffee beans come from the AAA program. Nespresso uses this quality program as an argument for not offering coffees by fair trade organizations, such as Max Havelaar, are traded. The durability requirements in the social and environmental areas in the Nespresso AAA program is less sharp than Max Havelaar. The krups parts coffee beans are extracted on plantations in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Togo, Kenya and Ethiopia. The berries of the beans are hand picked, washed, sorted, ontpulpt, once washed and dried in the sun. The beans are sold in units of 60 kg, a standard time for coffee, and then transported. Depending on the desired type and quality delivery of various krups parts coffee beans mixed together. The beans are roasted, the duration and temperature affect the strength and flavor of the coffee. The beans are then crushed, the fineness of the grind affects the rate at which water flows through the koffiepulver, the slower the stronger and more bitter the coffee. From this sub-process works with a nitrogen atmosphere because oxygen is a bad influence on the quality. The ground krups parts coffee is packaged without oxygen, in an aluminum capsule for a long shelf life. In particular, the capsule is a weak point in the ecology around the Nespresso system. The capsule is made of aluminum, which requires much energy to produce. The aluminum is inside a plastic layer, but that does not make it unsuitable for reuse. In Switzerland, we therefore started collecting the aluminum caps for recycling the aluminum. This collection system will be exported to other countries where the Nespresso system sold. Since June 2009, a refillable capsule on the market supplied by NexPod in Switzerland. This capsule is made of polypropylene. Combustion will as no toxic gases. The capsule can be used several times. Similar systems are marketed by some competitors. A joint venture of Philips Senseo and Sara Lee Corporation on the market. ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) is introduced by a consortium of krups parts coffee roasters and machine manufacturers such as Illy and Lavazza Caffè. Another system was developed by Kraft Foods and called Tassimo. . . .
