Throughout history, coffee has always been the cornerstone to bring people together. Whether it be a quick drink with friends at your local coffee house or at work where you get together with your colleagues. Coffee is the most unifying and ubiquitous drink. However in the last few years, technology has created a division in the coffee universe. The question of whether you are a Nespresso or a Keurig (K Cup) drinker has resulted in a choice that is almost religious in nature.
What is the difference between Nespresso and Keurig?
Nespresso is a Switzerland based unit of the Nestlé Group. While they don’t have as much of a presence on the North American market, they are wildly popular across Europe. Keurig is a part of the third largest beverage company in North America. Keurig machines come in over 50 different models. From a selection standpoint, Nespresso partners with brands that produce their machines while Keurig partners with brands that produce their pods. Hence, there are 60+ different K-Cup brands. For consumers the coffee divide results in consumers taking sides and making a selection that may affect their caffine and friendship.
However, our friends at Gourmia are looking to unite and bring Keurig and Nespresso aficionados back together. The Gourmia GCM5000 One Touch Multi Capsule Coffee Machine supports both systems. Gourmia ships both K-Cup and Nespresso cartridge holders with the GCM5000. Installation of the capsule holders is easy and takes a matter of a few seconds.
-
- Move the Lift-lever up
- Insert the desired (Nespresso or K-Cup) cartridge holder into the compartment until it clicks (aligning the hole with the pin in the compartment)
- Open the sliding door to the cartridge panel
- Place the color coded cartridge (Nespresso or K-Cup) panel into the slot
- Slide the Panel closed
After you have successfully installed the cartridge holder you are ready to use the GCM5000. Simply insert your coffee pod into the machine and press the start button on the display panel. Upon completion the coffee pod capsule is ejected into a storage container at the base of the machine.
Gourmia enables a more intimate coffee experience
The differentiator of the Gourmia GCM5000 is more than just about supporting multi coffee capsules. The key to having a great cup of coffee or wonderful espresso is higher water pressure and temperature. This provides the consumer with a more authentic yet highly intimate experience. The GCM5000 coffee system automatically regulates pressure to ensure optimal extraction. However, what distinguishes this coffee system apart from others is that Gourmia enables consumers to recreate that exquisite taste experience and brew their perfect coffee based on their own personal preferences.
The easy to use Digital Control Panel with LED Display allows you to adjust the temperature and size of your coffee. The Gourmia GCM5000 takes the enhanced coffee experience to the next level with the built-in milk frothing system that in under a minute produces light and creamy hot or cold milk froth for your drink.
