Capsule coffee.  

It’s convenient, cost-effective, and for many who race the clock every morning… the only way to get a caffeine fix before running out the door. But for coffee drinkers who enjoy the occasional specialty pourover or espresso, capsules can also leave something to be desired. 

That is until MORNING, the industry’s first specialty coffee capsule machine, was introduced to markets.

MORNING was founded with a mission to help independent roasters reach a wider audience of home brewers. Working directly with these roasters, they made a capsule machine that finally bridged the gap between the convenience of pods and the nuanced taste of specialty coffee. 

If you’ve ever owned a regular capsule machine, you’re probably familiar with its limitations, including compromised flavour, lack of coffee variety and transparency, and clunky design choices. The MORNING Machine addresses all of these issues and then some. 

So, let’s take a look at some key features of the MORNING machine, and how they are redefining people’s expectations of just how incredible capsule coffee can be.  

“Ready-to-Brew” Recipes  

You shouldn’t need to spend all your time brewing complex pourovers to deserve the taste of good coffee. Conversely, you shouldn’t be stuck with “meh” coffee if you want the convenience of a capsule machine. 

To remedy this, the MORNING gives you a perfect cup of coffee in seconds. Just choose from 1 of 10 “ready-to-brew” recipes on the machine or app, sit back, and relax! Just like an in-house barista, the machine accounts for bloom time, roast level, and more to brew unique recipes like from a Short Light Roast (classic espresso style) to MORNING’s signature Bloom & Brew.  

When you download the MORNING app, you’ll also find a list of specially curated “roaster recipes”, where you can enjoy the exceptional taste of a coffee brewed exactly as the roaster intended! How many other capsule machines give you bespoke recipes designed by professional coffee roasters? 

If you’re tired of the generic “pod coffee” taste or simply want something different, the MORNING gives you the freedom to explore even if you’re not a brewing professional. 

Manual Control Options

Coffee brewing is like cooking; sometimes, you want to go all-out on your own recipe. Other times, you just want to press a button and have it ready. In both instances, you still want to enjoy the final product. 

As mentioned, MORNING gives you convenience through their “ready-to-brew” and “roaster” recipes. But if you’re feeling like a connoisseur, every brew recipe can be altered seamlessly on the MORNING app. 

Or, if you really want to get technical, you can create (and save) your very own brew recipe from scratch! With these customizable settings, you get the freedom to explore and create unique cups of coffee even while brewing the same capsule! 

Whether you’re finding the perfect brew, impressing your guests, or simply experimenting with different parameters, the MORNING gives you everything you need to succeed with the optional convenience of a capsule machine, because we can’t all be professional baristas at 5am.

A Specialty Coffee Experience, No Coffee Shop Bills  

Let’s talk a bit more about the MORNING capsule selection, because it’s not very often that you see small-batch specialty roasters putting their coffee into pods… until now. 

In MORNING’s partnered roaster list, you’ll discover some pretty notable names in specialty coffee, featuring independent and quality-driven roasters from all over the world. From South Korea to the Netherlands, their variety is unprecedented in the world of capsule coffee. 

Plus, MORNING offers another benefit by only partnering with well-known roasters: transparency. So you can enjoy with peace of mind knowing that the coffee inside was sourced ethically and responsibly. This includes MORNING’s own branded capsules, which are “...consciously sourced from fair-trade farmers”. 

If the coffee selection is starting to sound a bit overwhelming, don’t worry. Capsules can easily be filtered by roast level and country of origin, so whether you enjoy rich chocolatey blends or light, exotic brews, you’re certain to discover a few favourites. 

Plus, with the world of specialty coffee at your fingertips, the MORNING Machine adds an economic factor by being truly worth the cost. Think of how much you’ve spent on daily café visits and specialty pourovers when your average capsule machine “just wasn’t cutting it”. 

 Professional, Easy-to-Use Design

No more struggling to refill the water tank or dealing with a discard bin that puts your dirty capsules on full display. 

The creators of the MORNING Machine may have drawn inspiration from professional coffee equipment, but they’ve also made sure to keep complications down to a minimum. So, you can enjoy a sleek, brushed design that doesn’t sacrifice user experience. 

For example, MORNING’s interface is composed of a dial mechanism and large OLED screen, which displays everything from settings, brew recipes, and even little animations that follow along with the brew recipe (a nice touch)! To navigate through your options, simply turn the dial left or right. 

Underneath the dial and OLED screen, the discard bin is discretely added flush to the MORNING Machine, conveniently hiding all of those used coffee capsules until you’re ready to recycle or compost them.  

Finally, the MORNING simply looks like a luxury coffee machine. With a compact build, minimalist aesthetic, and digital interface, it’ll certainly have your guests’ heads turning with curiosity… just wait until they try the coffee! 

Conclusion 

If you appreciate the nuances and flavours of specialty coffee, but need a simple and reliable way to enjoy it at home, the MORNING Machine is for you. 

But the possibilities don’t stop with the MORNING Machine. If you’d like a smaller coffee maker that takes up less counter space, the MORNING Mini gives you all the quality and convenience of the original in an even more compact form. It also comes in 5 colours, so you can choose the one that best suits your style! 

Last but not least, the MORNING Dream milk steamer is a recent addition to the brand’s lineup, engineered to deliver silky, perfectly-frothed steamed milk at the press of a button. With the precision of a trained barista, you can steam milk (regular or plant-based) good enough to create latte art!

Save the café trips. With the MORNING Machine and Dream milk steamer, you’ll have everything you need to recreate the same quality from home.
