Nespresso own machine sabotage of 6 21.12.2010

Nespresso is making his Machines worst in order to

ruin the coffee experience of competitors capsules

Nespresso has already made two modifications of his machines in order to make water flow in the coffee and in order

to let the competitor capsules stuck in the machines.

Modification 1: The “water trick” Making water flow in the espresso cup in order to ruin the espresso quality.

Nespresso has introduced last year (spring 2009) a new brewing unit for the Citiz machines, with a special technical

construction in order to convoy in the cup the water which is passing outside from the capsule. So if the capsule is not

perfectly tight the espresso will be of less quality. The previous machine mechanics were build in order to let this

water flow in the exhausted capsules collecting unit, so the espresso was not affected from leakages from the capsule.

How does the “water trick” work?

In the following photograph you see the two water outlet of an essenza machine built after June 2010: The one on the

left is the one with the water trick. You see that the inferior part is leading water in the cup. The one on the right is the

water outlet of an essenza machine built before. You see how the inferior part let the flow back and not in the cup.

The present document regards the NexPod empty compatible Nespresso capsules.

Alice Allison SA is also selling a new full Nespresso compatible capsule. This new filled capsule is

now sold from the greatest discount Supermarket chain in Switzerland. Nexpod develops,

manifacture and produce Nespresso compatible capsules for coffee roaster and supermarket

chains.

The new Nexpod full capsule is compatible with all the Nespresso Machines on the market.

The following picture shows a new Water outlet (the one on the right in the photo above) with the water channel

made to convoy the water in the cup.

Modification 2: Making the competitor’s capsules stuck in the machine.

Nespresso has made a technical modifications on all the Essenza and Citiz Machines and possibly all other models sold

after July 2010 in order to make impossible/difficult the ejection of the capsules from the machine. The aluminium

capsules ere extracted well, but all plastic capsules got stuck in the machine and can only be extracted with great

difficulty. This modification has the sole scope of disturbing/making impossible the coffee preparation with Nespresso

compatible capsules.

Nespresso has modified the mechanic of the machines since a couple of month. (The plastic pieces with the

modification that I have seen have a production mark of June 2010, so the modified machine are on the shelf since

this summer, maybe July).

The modification has the sole scope of letting the Plastic capsules stuck in the machine, and is not affecting the

Nespresso original Capsules. The Alu capsule gets deformed from the "blades" that Nespresso has built in the new

brewing chamber, but the plastic capsule gets stuck and can only be removed using a screwdriver or a tool, with some

damaging and injuring risks in this operation. Please note the all the machines are produced for Nespresso for all the

brands in the Eugster Frismag Company http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugster/Frismag .

See below some photographs on how to recognise a Machine with the modification. I enclose here a schematically

drawing which show how the brewing chamber was modified.

Unfortunately I have not made photographs of the modified chamber yet, but could do this for next week if you are

interested.

Modification 1: Making water flow in the espresso cup in order to ruin the espresso quality.

To complement the information is interesting to know that Nespresso has introduced last year (spring 2009) a new

brewing unit for the Citiz machines, with a special technical construction in order to convoy in the cup the water which

is passing outside from the capsule. So if the capsule is not perfectly tight the espresso will be of less quality. The

previous machine mechanics were build in order to let this water flow in the exhausted capsules collecting unit, so the

espresso was not affected from leakages from the capsule. This modification has the sole scope of making the coffee

quality of compatible capsules worst. The competitor capsules in fact do not have the possibility to have the gasket on

the capsule like Nespresso has. (Recently Patented Nespresso Solution).

You are also welcome to visit me in my laboratory I could show you all of the "secrets" of the Nespresso machines. For

further information call Alice Allison SA 0041 91 827 43 80.

If the mechanic of your machine is like these following image, it IS not modified in order to let water flow in the cup.

This type of mechanics was on the market before June 2010.

If the mechanics of your machine looks like in the photograph below, it has the “water trick”, (modification 1) but has

not the modification 2.

If the mechanics of your machine looks like the following, it is made to let the NexPod, ECC and Sara Lee capsules

stuck. This type of mechanics was on the market after June 2010. It has also the water modification in order to ruin

the espresso if the capsule is not 100% tight.
