A new world awaits with Starbucks and their new innovation

A new world awaits with Starbucks and their new innovation

Friday the 12^th of May saw Starbucks launch their exclusive Starbucks Espresso Capsules compatible with Nespresso® machines* in South Africa, for anyone and everyone to enjoy at home. We were lucky enough to have an exclusive tasting of these delightful new capsules. Let me tell you, they were amazing.

I personally think it’s fantastic that Starbuck South Africa is so driven by customer care and to improve customer’s experience that they bring us the most amazing products along with services that are hard to find anywhere else. For example, service with a smile is far and few between, but whenever I’ve been to Starbucks, Rosebank or Pretoria, they have been friendly, happy and excited to meet help you.

Back to the new product, its compatible with Nespresso machines only, but luckily for you, I have you covered. I myself have a Dolce Gusto, but @Home sell converters for coffee machines…GENIOUS!!! So now anyone who has a coffee machine that takes pods or capsules can now enjoy the smooth, rich taste of Starbucks Capsules.

” The new espresso capsules will be available in Starbucks stores in Johannesburg and Pretoria from 12 May. Coffee lovers will now have the opportunity to enjoy the same delicious coffee at home as they do in store, with a range of four Starbucks espressos. Starbucks Espresso Capsules are made from only the finest Arabica coffees and the range includes classic Espresso Roast, Colombia, Kenya, and Guatemala Antigua priced at  R95.00 for  a pack of 10 capsules.”

“The introduction of the range also coincides with the introduction of a recycling programme for the capsules. Starbucks South Africa have partnered with Waste Plan, a national on-site waste management company that specialises in recycling and the reduction of waste to landfill.”

I love the fact that you can recycle the pods to, which is so environmentally friendly it’s brilliant. Also if you are a part of the Rewards Program you can get 10 extra stars for bringing the capsules back to a Starbucks to recycle properly.
