Why choose it

The capsules are hermetically sealed to preserve freshness, ensuring every cup tastes as good as the first.

Ideal use cases

• Daily espresso or ristretto at home or in the office
• Preparing milk-based coffee drinks such as cappuccino, latte, or flat white
• Offering a premium coffee option to guests or clients
• Gifting to coffee enthusiasts who appreciate Neapolitan roasting tradition

Good to know

Store the capsules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality. While the capsules are made of food-grade plastic, recyclability depends on local facilities; check with your municipality. The box is compact and easy to store, and the capsules are individually sealed for freshness. Passalacqua recommends using the espresso setting on your Nespresso machine for the optimal extraction of Habanera's rich aromas.
