Caffitaly facts for kids
The Caffitaly System is a special way to make coffee at home using small, sealed containers called capsules. You might also hear it called the Caffita System in some places. This system helps you make popular coffee drinks like espresso.
The name "Caffitaly" is a mix of two words: caffè, which is the Italian word for coffee, and Italy. This makes sense because Caffitaly is based in Bologna, Italy.

How the Caffitaly System Works
The Caffitaly System is a clever way to make coffee quickly and easily. It uses special machines and pre-filled coffee capsules.
Coffee Capsules
Each Caffitaly capsule holds the perfect amount of coffee. The coffee inside is sealed to keep it fresh. When you want a drink, you simply put one of these capsules into a Caffitaly machine.
Making Your Drink
Once the capsule is in place, the machine does the rest. It pushes hot water through the capsule at high pressure. This process quickly brews your coffee directly into your cup. After you're done, you can easily throw away the used capsule. This means the machine stays clean and needs very little work to maintain.
Who Uses Caffitaly?
The Caffitaly System was first created by a company called Caffita System SpA. Many other companies around the world have started using this system for their own coffee products.
Global Partners
You can find Caffitaly machines and capsules from many different brands. For example, companies like Tchibo from Germany, Julius Meinl, and Dallmayr use the system. In Brazil, Três Corações uses it, and in the United States, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf offers Caffitaly-compatible products. MAP Coffee in Australia and Löfbergs in Sweden also use this system.
Similar Systems
The Caffitaly System is similar to other popular capsule coffee makers, like Nespresso and Tassimo. They all aim to make brewing coffee at home simple and mess-free.
Caffitaly in Business
Caffitaly Systems also creates special capsule systems for other companies. For example, they make the CBTL Capsule System for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. They also produce the MAP Italian Coffee Capsule System for Map Coffee Australia.
Retail Partnerships
In Australia, big supermarkets like Woolworths and Coles sell their own brand of capsules that work with Caffitaly machines. Coffee shops like Gloria Jeans also have their own capsules and even sell Caffitaly-branded machines.
Fun Fact
In 2005, Caffita even sponsored a professional cycling team called Lampre-Caffita. This helped to make their brand more well-known around the world.
