Carte Noire compatible with Nespresso machines in 90 seconds

Carte Noire was founded in Strasbourg in 1978 to offer premium coffee accessible through supermarkets. Since its acquisition by the Lavazza Group in February 2016 (a deal worth approximately €800 million), Carte Noire has come under Italian ownership while maintaining its premium French positioning and its Professional range for the HoReCa sector. The brand retains its French production facilities (its historic site) and its signature recipes—all now backed by the Lavazza Group's direct green purchasing resources

The Nespresso Original Carte Noire offers three blends numbered according to the range Nespresso intensity scale (1-13 ): No. 6 Espresso Lungo Classique (a balanced, long coffee with mellow notes), No. 7 Espresso Classique (a well-rounded espresso with chocolatey notes, offering the best value for money), and No. 9 Espresso Intense (a darker roast, full-bodied, with a dense crema). Standard format: a box of 30 aluminum capsules for approximately €9.19, or approximately €0.31 per cup —two to three times cheaper than official Nespresso capsules (€0.40-€0.80 per cup) while maintaining premium aluminum quality.

Aluminum is the material used in Nespresso capsules: a perfect barrier against oxygen and light, it preserves the coffee's aromas for 12+ months . capsules Carte Noire are recyclable through three channels in France: the Nespresso recycling program (store drop-off, PickUp Point, free collection bag), metal recycling (yellow bin or metal bin), or home composting (coffee grounds in the compost + empty capsule in the metal recycling bin).

Please note: these capsules are compatible with Nespresso Original machines ONLY — including Essenza, Inissia, Pixie, CitiZ, Creatista, Lattissima, etc. They do NOT work with Nespresso Vertuo machines (another proprietary barcode system). Also discover beans Carte Noire Professional for espresso machines with grinders.
