Are the capsules recyclable?

What's the difference with original Nespresso capsules?
These are two different companies: Lavazza, a roaster founded in Turin in 1895, blends and roasts its own coffees for the Nespresso Original. Lavazza specifies that it is neither affiliated with nor supported by Nespresso. Like Nespresso capsules, Maestro capsules are made of aluminum; the price per capsule for each variety is displayed on its product page.

How should the capsules be stored?

How many cups are in the pack in total and what is the battery life?
With a minimum of three boxes, the pack contains 300 capsules, one capsule per cup. Reference values for 300 capsules:
- 2 cups/day : approximately 150 days.
- 4 cups/day : approximately 75 days.
- Office, 12 coffees/day : approximately 25 days.
Each coffee is also available individually, in boxes of 100: see the full category.
Why choose the pack rather than 100 capsules of a single coffee?
To create your assortment in one order:
- Daily variety — Classico in the morning, Ristretto after the meal, Lungo in the afternoon.
- One machine, several drinkers — from mild long coffee to strong espresso, everyone finds their cup.
- One order only — the chosen boxes arrive together.
If a coffee stands out, it is available individually in a box of 100.
