How to Use Matcha Pods

To use matcha pods

To use matcha pods, insert the pod into a compatible Nespresso machine, press the espresso button once or twice for a stronger flavor, and then add the brewed matcha to your preferred hot or iced milk to make a matcha latte. You may need to flush the machine with water before and after use to remove residual coffee or matcha.

Instructions for Nespresso-Compatible Pods

  1. Flush the Machine (Optional but Recommended): Before inserting the pod, press the "lungo" (large cup) button twice to rinse the machine and remove any old coffee residue.
  2. Insert the Pod: Place the matcha pod into the machine.
  3. Brew the Matcha: Press the "espresso" (small cup) button once or twice to brew the matcha. Some instructions suggest pressing it a second time to get a more concentrated shot.
  4. Make a Matcha Latte: Pour the brewed matcha over hot or iced milk.
  5. Rinse the Machine: After brewing, rinse the machine again by pressing the "lungo" button twice to clean it of any remaining matcha. 

Tips

  • For a Richer Flavor: For a more intense matcha flavour, we recommend brewing with the "espresso" button a second time or pressing the "lungo" button once. 
  • For Iced Drinks: Pour the brewed matcha shot over a glass filled with ice and your choice of milk for a refreshing iced matcha latte. 
  • Use a Rinsing Shot: If you've been drinking coffee, it's a good idea to run an extra shot of water through the machine after removing the pod to clear any coffee residue before making your matcha drink.
