Caffitaly
The Caffitaly System (or Caffita System) is one of the capsule systems for brewing coffee beverages such as espresso, and other beverages as tea. In order to use capsules of the Caffitaly system one has to use the dedicated coffee machines designed for those capsules. The system was developed by the Italian company Gaggia. It is not marketed in the US as far as I know, and generally lacks in marketing compared to Nespresso, Dolce Gusto or Tassimo.
Gaggia is also a coffee machine making company, so naturally Gaggia machines, such as the Gaggia K111d home coffee maker are compatible with the system. However, other machine makers such as Saceo with their Saceo Office machine are also compatible.
One of the important aspects of a capsule system is the technology behind its capsules. With Caffitaly the core of the technology is the use of two small filters inside the capsules. Water is forced with pressure through the first filter allowing an even contact with the tightly packed 8 grams (or 0.28 ounces) of coffee grains. When it passes through the second filter, the coffee is extracted and exits as a full-bodied, dense espresso, blanked with a consistent, compact cream.
I put together for you a list of most of the Caffitaly compatible coffee machines. Unfortunately this capsule system isn’t marketed in the US as far as I know, but other great systems are the Nespresso capsule system and the Tassimo capsule system.

Thank you so much for your website. It is really helpful. Can I just confirm that if a machine uses caffitaly capsules, it will be able to use any brand of caffitaly capsules? e.g. Gaggia, Lavazza ?
thanks

That is correct – Any Caffitaly system machine will be able to use all brands of Caffitaly capsules.

The Caffitaly system is now sold in the USA as the CBTL (Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf) system. CBTL sell their own coffee blends as single serve capsules for their own brand of machines, which are compatible with any Caffitaly/Gaggia machines/capsules. As of 2011 there are three CBTL machines and the machines and capsules can be found in the stores as well as online. With prices well below Nespresso and the option of locally purchasing the capsules, this makes them quite competitive.

Thanks for the site! I have one question: I’m using the Nautilus machine and I’m wondering if the capsules sold by CBTL are compatible with it. If not, do you know where I can buy coffee capsules for the Nautilus here in the US?

Yep, the CBTL capsules should work on your Nautilus. Enjoy…

I am using the Cafissimo coffee maker from Tchibo Germany.
I would like to check if I can use th CBTL capsules on Tchibo?

Well from what I can tell and read – Cafissimo uses the Caffitaly capsules system, which is the same system CBTL capsules use – So I would bet on it 99.9%.
