Boxes of capsules, aluminium and compostable, Upress a device for extracting spent coffee from the aluminium capsules.

I do not know why, but I was expecting a long slim metal tool. No, Upress a tacky cheap plastic device. Functional? I do not know.

Next, open box, set up Opal One, try capsules. Then Peak water filter, but first try with bottled spring water.

Coffee is seasonal. Colonna change what is on offer every few months to reflect the changing seasons.
