We take coffee seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. At Samurai Shoelace, it's all about encapsulating the most special coffee experience - so that you can have a really good coffee anytime, anywhere, without unnecessary frills.
Only the best can be encapsulated. Our coffees are 100% certified specialty Arabica – quality that doesn't need to be explained.
Roasted in Budapest. A domestic business, with full attention and uncompromising quality.
We personally take care of every sip. We control the entire process: from sourcing green coffee, through roasting and encapsulation, to packaging.
A coffee experience that also leaves a good conscience. Our capsules are made of aluminum, so they can be recycled any number of times if handled properly.
We opened our first specialty coffee shop in Budapest in 2016. Within a short time, we became a defining point in the domestic coffee community, and in 2017 we won the Hungarian Barista and Filter Champion titles. Since then, we have been dealing with coffee every day – learning, tasting, experimenting. The idea came during the pandemic: if guests can't come to us, let's deliver the coffee to them. That's how Samurai Shoelace was born.
The entire production of Samurai Shoelace capsules is in our hands: from selecting green coffee, to roasting and grinding, to encapsulating and packaging, we carry out every process in our own factory in Budapest. This way, we can be sure that the end result meets the quality principles that we have been working towards for years. We do not strive for excesses - we simply want coffee to be a good moment, any day, anywhere.
As a small Hungarian business launched at the end of 2023, we would be grateful if you would follow us on Instagram! We create very funny, yet professionally interesting content that will brighten up your scrolling! Click the button!

There are many types of coffee, from cheaper mass-produced coffees to the highest quality, specialty coffees grown on micro-lots. Coffees are classified according to an officially accepted point system, with coffees scoring more than 80 points falling into the specialty category. These represent a few percent of the world's total Arabica production, and we only fill our capsules with such coffees.
Of course, we do, as we roast the green coffee, and the capsules are made from freshly ground, roasted coffee beans. However, for perfect capsules, the coffee needs to be roasted completely differently (with a different profile) than for a "traditional" coffee machine, which is why we do not sell it in bean form, as what is good for capsules is not necessarily good for a coffee machine, and vice versa.
Our capsules contain only ground coffee. Since the entire process is in our hands, from purchasing green coffee to roasting and packaging the boxes, you can be sure that you are drinking what we drink!
It's worth trying as many as you can and then choosing the one you like best. Ours might be your favorite!
No, since our capsules are suitable for all Nespresso Original machines, we can't deal with so many different machines. We know coffee, that's our primary focus. What we recommend: either buy the simplest Nespresso machine, or, if you really want to delve into the technology, a Morning Machine. We have both, and we test them on Nespresso machines during production to make sure everyone has the same experience.
No, we are a completely independent, small Hungarian business. Our relationship with Nespresso is that we use the system they developed. Our coffee capsules can be made on any Nespresso Original compatible machine. Click on the About Us menu for details!
Ilyen szempontból az alumínium is olyan, mint más nyersanyagok: lehet környezetbarát, ha valóban szelektíven gyűjtjük. Akkor viszont 100%-ban újrahasznosítható (ráadásul a mi kapszuláink már eleve 80%-ban újrahasznosított aluból készültek). Az alumínium korlátlan alkalommal újra olvasztható, és gyártható belőle újra és újra kapszula, így környezeti szempontból az egyik legkevésbé terhelő megoldás. Ugyanakkor az alumínium kapszula az egyetlen, ami tökéletes zárást biztosít, azaz a benne levő kávé nem érintkezik oxigénnel, és így nagyon hosszú ideig, minőségromlás nélkül tárolható.
Semmiképpen ne dobd a szemétbe! Az aluminium értékes, újrafelhasználható nyersanyag. A kávézaccot a kapszulákból tedd a növényeid alá (a virágzó növények nagyon fogják szeretni), vagy komposztáld. Az alu kapszulákat bontsd szét (kattints a "Környezetvédelem" menüpontra!), majd az üres alumíniumot leadhatod bármelyik gyűjtőponton, vagy dobd szelektív hulladékgyűjtőbe!
Nem, csak a Nespresso Original rendszerrel kompatibilis kávégépekbe.
By bank card payment, bank transfer in advance, or cash on delivery (even cash for couriers). If you choose bank transfer, the package will be handed over to the courier after the transfer has been received.

Specialty kávét használunk, ami a világ Arabica termésének legfelső pár százalékából kerül ki. A mi kapszuláinkban a kávé beszerzési ára többe kerül, mint amennyiért már lehet kávékapszulákat vásárolni a diszkontokban, és akkor még ez a kávé nincs kapszulába töltve, dobozolva, stb.. Kizárólag termőterület vagy farm szelektált arabica kávéval dolgozunk, válogatott termésből, a feldolgozástól a pörkölésen át a kapszulázásig a legmagasabb követelményeknek megfelelően kezelve a kávészemeket. Kattints a Szindikátus menüpontra, és nézd meg, hogyan juthatsz kedvezményhez!
