Delta Q Pack, strengths 9, 10, 12 and 14 — 40 capsules

Four boxes of 10 capsules : Qharacter No. 9, Qalidus No. 10, Qharisma No. 12 and EpiQ No. 14, i.e. 40 coffees, 30 mL espressos or 45 mL long coffees, the two volumes indicated by Delta Q.

From least intense to most intense: Qharacter No. 9, full-bodied and sophisticated; then Qalidus No. 10, intense and ambitious; Qharisma No. 12, lively and full-bodied; and finally EpiQ No. 14, full-bodied and intense. For Delta Q, intensity refers to the strength of the coffee's flavor, which depends on the amount of ground coffee, the degree of roasting, and the type of beans: the higher the number, the stronger the espresso.

Each of the four is available in boxes of 10 and in packs of 100 capsules (10 boxes of 10): Qharacter No. 9, Qalidus No. 10, Qharisma No. 12 , and EpiQ No. 14.Qharacter and Qalidus are also available in packs of 40.

Yes: the pack stops at No. 14, but the Delta Q range goes up to Mythiq No. 15, with notes of cocoa and nuances of raspberry, and toUniq No. 16, the highest intensity level ever offered by the brand.

No. The Delta Q capsule has a format specific to the brand: it only works in Delta Q machines, such as the Mini Qool or theICONIQ, and cannot be used in a Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, or Lavazza machine. Conversely, a Delta Q machine only accepts capsules of the Delta Q format.

A Delta Q capsule combines a plastic body and an aluminum lid ; according to Delta Q, it is recyclable by separating the plastic, aluminum, and coffee grounds. In France, the recycling guidelines vary depending on your municipality: check them on the Recycling Guide (website or app). The coffee grounds themselves are compostable.
