Seasonal Capsules – Nafkot Admasu Natural, Yirgacheffe

Regular price
Tax included.

Easily of the best Natural Ethiopians this season (yes, yes we keep on saying this but each release truly does surpass the one before). Loads of clarity, fresh, and sweet.

Peach, raspberry and black tea. 

We recommend these caps as short shots enjoyed black.

The Ultimate Quick Guide to Capsule Brewer Husbandry:

  • Always purge your machine with a blank shot of water when switching between coffees
  • Give the pod a good shake
  • Let each cap warm up in the machine for 5-10" before starting the brew (this also helps improve the cap's seal)
  • By short we mean 32-35g in beverage weight (the default on your Nespresso® machine's small button should give you this – you may need to reset your machine if you've ever recorded over these settings)
  • Use your caps within 4 weeks/WKS and come back for more.

This run of pods is only available as a 10-unit refill pack. Sorry — no lovely jar this time around. 

FAQ:

"Aren't capsules gross?" – yes, when the coffee going in is. And the same can be said for any brew method. Ever made a V60 with some incinerated supermarket beans? That'll set a new bar for gross.

"Will your Heirloom Blend be available in this format?" – try something new, live a little! But also, yes, someday, perhaps, possibly.

"Do you just grind your coffee and stick it in a pod?" – yes, but nope. The roasts sent to 4WKS are specifically roasted to extract well in the fast brew format of a capsule, and no that doesn't mean we roast darker for them. Aside from the work we do, the team at 4WKS rigorously test by refracting shots and calibrating grind settings to achieve taste and strength goals with each batch of coffee we supply. If it isn't hitting the right numbers, we start again.

"Why so expenny?" – not all coffees taste the same, and that's part of why they don't all cost the same. The lot going in to these caps isn't cheap, but truly great coffee never should be.

When will my order ship?

📆 All online orders are typically shipped on Wednesday each week to ensure we get the freshest available stock to you. This means anything ordered by midnight on Tuesday is guaranteed to ship on Wednesday, orders placed after this will ship by the following Wednesday at the latest. In some cases, items may ship sooner if we have fresh stock available.

🗺 Arrival depends on where you're based —within Johannesburg orders will often arrive the day after you receive tracking information, other major centres will usually receive orders 2 days after you get a tracking number in your inbox, outlying areas may take up to 3 days.

💫 We ship free to all of South Africa on orders over R699, for orders below this value a R70 delivery fee will be included at Checkout.

🌍 We offer international shipping on orders under 2kg (weight includes packaging). For int'l shipping, vvv important to note is that no order greater than 2kgs will be accepted at checkout.
