Almost 90% of Nestlé’s packaging is already recyclable but unfortunately NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® capsules cannot currently be recycled in Malta since we do not have a recycling plant available. We are exploring a number of possible solutions and hope to provide an update on our plans in the near future. We suggest recycling the plastic part of the capsule by separating them accordingly and the coffee residue can either be used as compost or disposed in general domestic waste. Please feel free to contact us, should you have any further queries. 

All our drinks require one or two capsules. The amount of water you add to each is of course up to you, but our suggestion for how to prepare each hot drink is printed on the box.  
If you have an automatic machine, you can follow the bars on the pods and match this up to the number of bars you select on your machine’s volume selector. This gives you the perfect cup every time.Find out more about making a NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® beverage here.

The top of the capsule will tell you which drink it is, but you will need to look at the colour of the base to see which kind of capsule it is, whether milk, coffee, chocolate or a cold variety:
- Milk capsules have a white base 
- Coffee capsules have a black or dark brown. 
- Chocolate capsules have a light brown base
- Cold drinks have a silver base.

For milky drinks such as our Lattés, Cappuccinos or Hot Chocolates and milky teas, you will need to use two capsules – one of which contains the milk. Some of our varieties do not come with milk, such as our Espressos, long Black Cups and non-milky teas.
