Coffee consumables

The size depends on the drink volume:

• 4 oz / 12 cl — espresso (25 to 40 ml), ristretto, short coffee, lungo up to 90 ml. This is the size used in vending machines and office machines, and our bestselling product.
• 6.5 oz / 20 cl — lungo, cappuccino, tea, chocolate.
• 8 oz / 24 cl — latte, large lungo, hot chocolate.

All three are sold in packs of 50.

A 4 g sugar stick provides the portion for one coffee; allow one stick per cup so you never run out. The Saint Louis box of 500 covers 500 coffees, or around five weeks at 20 coffees per working day; the Lavazza box of 200 suits a small team or home use, while the box of 700 suits offices and break rooms serving Lavazza. Individual wrapping ensures hygiene and precise portioning, with no sugar bowl or waste.

Because the supply of single-use plastic stirrers has been banned in France since 1 January 2021 (Article L. 541-15-10 of the French Environmental Code, introduced by the anti-waste law for a circular economy of 10 February 2020, Decree No. 2020-1828 of 31 December 2020). The wooden stirrer is the standard replacement for vending machines, cafeterias and offices: a natural material, one stir per coffee. The pack of 1 000 pieces covers 1 000 coffees served.

Two ranges, two installation points:

• Brita Purity C150 Quell ST and C500 Finest — water filter cartridges fitted upstream of professional machines (bean-to-cup espresso machines, professional capsule machines, vending machines). They trap limescale before it reaches the boiler; the C500 is designed for higher volumes than the C150.
• Aqua Aroma Crema Lavazza — a filter that fits inside the water tank of Lavazza Blue LB300, LB900 and LB1050 machines. It is not intended to replace upstream filtration if the water is very hard.

In both cases, the cartridge should be replaced according to the volume filtered and water hardness: follow the meter on the filter head or the machine's indicator light, and the manufacturer's instructions. Exact compatibility details are provided on each product page. The whole range is also grouped together in the Filters category.

Limescale builds up in the water circuit and thermoblock each time the water is heated: it lowers the extraction temperature, increases heating time and eventually blocks the machine. Manufacturers recommend regular descaling, in practice every 2 to 4 months depending on water hardness and the number of cups made, or as soon as the machine's descaling indicator light comes on. The 250 ml bottle provides 2 to 4 cycles depending on the tank capacity: follow your machine's instructions for dosage and always rinse with two tanks of clean water after the cycle. A filter cartridge in good condition reduces the frequency of descaling but does not eliminate the need for it.
