The importance of coffee in the world
Coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the world, only surpassed by water. In addition, it is also the second most traded commodity after oil, which demonstrates the relevance of this concoction in today’s society.
Coffee consumption exceeds 10,000 kilos per year globally, with an average of 1.3 kilos per person annually. In Spain, more than 22 million people drink at least one cup of coffee a day, placing the country in 19th place in terms of per capita consumption, with an average of 4.5 kg per year per person. Furthermore, the growth of coffee culture in the country predicts an increase in these figures in the future.
What are reusable capsules?
Reusable capsules are a type of packaging that allows them to be refilled and reused, thus avoiding the need to discard them after a single use. These capsules are available in two main materials: plastic and stainless steel.
The stainless steel capsules stand out for their high quality and resistance, both to shocks and temperature variations, in addition to being dishwasher safe. On the other hand, plastic capsules offer a cheaper option, although their durability is less and their resistance is more limited.
