Frequently asked questions
What is Yerba Mate?
A traditional South American infusion made from Ilex paraguariensis leaves, prized for its clean, sustained energy—thanks to caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline—without the jitters of coffee.
How does it taste?
Earthy and vegetal with a mild bitterness—more robust than green tea, yet smoother than coffee. Our capsules capture this authentic profile in every cup.
Which machines work with MatePuro capsules?
They fit most single-serve systems (Nespresso OriginalLine, Breville, De’Longhi, and similar) using standard capsule dimensions.
Can I re-brew a capsule?
We recommend a single extraction per capsule for optimal flavor and strength; a second brew will be noticeably weaker.
Do capsules compromise the authentic Mate ritual?
While nothing replaces sharing a gourd and bombilla, our capsules honor Mate’s heritage by delivering genuine taste and benefits in under a minute—perfect for modern life.
Why is Mate culturally significant?
In South America, passing the mate gourd symbolizes friendship and hospitality. MatePuro brings that spirit to your daily routine, wherever you are.
