## Questions & Answers

**Q: What tipe of coffee is used? Arabica o robusta or is a blend?**
A: As it is a Neapolitan coffee I'm pretty sure it is a blend of Arabica and Robusta as you need this last one for a better roundness and creamy flavour.

**Q: Trying to find something environmentally friendly for tassimo, could i buy a reuseable capsule that fits the tassimo barcode and put this pod inside?**
A: I tried and they are too big to fit in capsule. Also tried splitting the bag ( they are like a tea bag) and putting coffee into the capsule, too much coffee, couldn’t compact it down and made a real mess. Then tried a bag in my daughters proper (coffee bean) machine and I got a very weak undrinkable result. Beware, as you cannot send them back… Message to company… please supply better instructions as to what these are best for.. I have a box full and don’t know what to do with them!

**Q: These are sachets, not pods.  they won't work with a nespresso type machine, right?  i have a krups.  are they just to use in a cup with boilng water?**
A: They are ESE sachets and won't work with a nespresso type machine. I don't think they would work just dipped in boiling water either. They require water under pressure and are designed for those machines that cater for loose ground coffee as well.

**Q: Is this worth the £12 postage fee?**
A: I have never paid postage and don’t think I would
