5 Cooking Hacks that Make Food Prep a Breeze

Many people don’t like to cook. Yes, it’s fun but it can be stressful at times. However, there’s just something fulfilling about preparing and cooking dishes your loved ones can eat and get their fill with. Besides, you don’t have to be a master chef to cook. There are countless easy-to-prepare dish recipes today that you can look up and do at home.

Here are some cooking hacks and tips that will make cooking a fun experience and a whole lot easier!

Faster Way to Peel Garlic

Does the dish you’re going to cook require a lot of fresh garlic? Pop a bulb into the microwave and set it on high for 20 seconds. Garlic peel comes off easily this way. This tip works for squash, too, but put it in for 3 minutes.

Lemon Essential Oil or Juice for Washing Fruits and Veggies

Put in a few drops of lemon essential oil or juice in the water you’re going to use to wash your fruits and vegetables. The juice or oil helps strip off the waxy residue left over by pesticides.

Microwave that Herb!

Make your own herb mixes by buying fresh herbs from the market, microwaving them at home (place them on a paper towel and heating them using your microwave’s high setting for 1 minute) until they’re dry, then finally crushing and mixing them according to your taste.

Save Your Apple and Potato Slices from Browning

Yes, lemon juice can keep your apple and potato slices from browning. But did you know mixing a part of honey to two parts of water does the same?

A Complete Kitchen? Yes, Please!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Capsul'in?

French produced Capsul'in is Europe's first and number one brand of empty coffee capsules compatible with all Nespresso® machines.

Is Capsul'in associated with Nespresso®?

No. Capsul'in is not associated with Nestle or Nespresso. Capsul'in is a unique model registered at the European Office for Harmonization under number 18290405. The Nespresso® Trademark belongs to a third party and is in no way associated with Equity Holding S.A. (the owners of Capsul'in).

Where is Capsul'in manufactured?

Capsul'in products are manufactured in France in accordance with EU quality standards.

How does the empty coffee capsule work?

Fill the empty capsules with the espresso coffee blend of your choice, apply the self-adhesive foil seal, and then insert the capsule into your Nespresso machine.

Do I get the same result as with a Nespresso® capsule?

Yes - If you want to, do the following test: open an original Nespresso® capsule and place its coffee content into an empty capsule - You will not be able to taste the difference. When you choose your preferred espresso blend, you will get a perfect espresso with the right "crema" as with a Nespresso® capsule.

How long does it take to prepare an empty capsule?

About the time it takes your Nespresso® machine to warm up - 10 to 15 seconds. It is fast and simple: fill the empty capsule with freshly ground espresso coffee, tamp lightly. Apply the auto-adhesive foil.

Is My Coffee Capsule compatible with my new Nespresso® Pixie?

Yes, our capsules are compatible with all Nespresso® machines including the Pixie.

Does the use of an empty capsule void the warranty on my Nespresso machine?

No.

How many capsules can I make with 250 grams of espresso coffee?

You can make up to 50 capsules using 5 grams of coffee per capsule.

How fine should my coffee be ground?

For best results, request an "espresso ground", meaning ground at a middle grade. For most professional coffee grinders, it corresponds to the grade 3/4. If you have your own grinder, do not hesitate to make your own tests using the texture of the Nespresso coffee as your guide. With the perfect grind, you can press the coffee inside the capsule (for a stronger taste) and your espresso will turn out perfectly. Store your espresso coffee in a large dry-storage coffee container, so it is easier to fill Capsul'in with coffee.

Can I prepare my capsules in advance? For my weekly consumption for instance...

Yes you can! Make sure that the auto-adhesive aluminium foil adheres well to the border of the capsule: Press hard on the circumference of the aluminium foil, or turn the capsule upside down and press the foil against the table. Store the pre-filled capsule in your fridge.

What are the advantages of Capsul'in?

Capsul'in is an empty capsule...full of qualities! An Eco-friendly alternative: Capsul'in is made of recyclable plastic. So if you are looking for a greener capsule, Capsul'in is the perfect alternative. Unlimited choice of coffee: by buying your espresso coffee from your local coffee retailers or your online coffee retailer, you have access to many different espresso coffees. You can use your favourite brand, buy Fair-trade, organic, single origin... By having the choice, you also decide on the final price of your espresso! Freshness: if you want the freshest coffee, again Capsul'in is the solution. You can fresh grind your own blend of coffee and use the Capsul'in in your Nespresso® machine. The freshness and the convenience of the Nespresso brewer are fantastic.

What should I do with my capsules after use?

Just drop them in your household rubbish like any other recyclable plastic.

Best Brew? Expensive Coffee from Around the World

Nothing beats the aroma of freshly-brewed coffee in the morning or for most individuals, any part of the day. A lot of articles warn us about the dangers of consuming too much coffee. But we can’t deny that it has benefits as well.



Many of us see coffee as our lifeline on most (if not all!) mornings and especially moreso when we come home from a gruelling day at work and waking up to another.

What could be better than having a hot cup of this heavenly drink? To enjoy one made from beans that give literal meaning to the words “black gold!”

What are the Most Expensive Coffees all Over the World?

The almost instant answer to this question is “that cat poop coffee from Indonesia.” Yes, the Kopi Luwak is quite pricey at $160 per pound but it’s not the priciest in the coffee market.


Is this Coffee Gold?

News portals recently ran a story on a cafĂ© offering coffee from what could be today’s most expensive coffee beans.

The number in Elida Geisha 803’s indicate how much it costs per pound – a whopping $803!

It bagged the top honors in a competition hailed as the Oscars for coffee, hence, the price. You have to shell out $75 for a cup. And according to coffee critics? It’s worth it.

Other coffee beans that have over $500 pricetags per pound include Black Ivory Coffee (from elephant poop), Finca El Injerto (Guatemala) and the Hacienda La Esmeralda (Panama) coffee.


Making the Best Brew

But no matter how you have the best and most expensive coffee beans at home, you won’t experience their full flavor if you don’t have a good-quality coffee grinder. Antique manual, electric, coffee mill or cast wheel, choose one that will truly bring out the best in every coffee cup and drop.

The 3 Best Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day

Time flies fast. We’ll be celebrating this year’s Mother’s Day in a few weeks’ time. But it’s sad to see that instead of getting a much-needed break from their motherly duties on that day, many mums go crazily busy in preparation for it.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australians were predicted to spend as much as $2 billion on Mother’s Day in 2017, with up to $200 million on flowers alone.
So, how do we simplify Mother’s Day celebration without cheapening its meaning?

Give mothers their needed break…truly!

A lot of mums I know would kill for a day off from all their obligations and responsibilities. So why not give them that, on the day motherhood is celebrated? Give them time to sit back, relax and enjoy while the rest of the family do their work for them even for just that day.

Nothing says “I love you, Mum” more than a clean home and chores that are done without being asked.


Do something that she loves.

Mother’s Day gifts need not be expensive. If your wife or mother’s domain is the kitchen, get her stuff that will make kitchen responsibilities like cooking easier to do. If she loves books, get her one and allow her a day off from doing housework so she could read it.

Want to take it up a notch? Surprise her by transforming your kitchen with our cutting edge tools and homeware!

Exhibit your love through words.

Have you ever told your mum/wife “I love you”? If you haven’t, now is the time to do so. Get creative with your greetings.

And words should go hand-in-hand with gestures. A simple hug and declaration of love from you can fill a mother’s heart to the brim with joy.
We don’t have to spend a lot when celebrating certain events. For Mother’s Day, just make sure to remember these three Rs: Remember your mothers/wives, Relieve them from their duties and Reassure them.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the lovely mums out there!
