Choosing mold-free beans is essential for safety, as 45% of commercial coffee contains Ochratoxin A—a carcinogenic and immunotoxic mycotoxin released by mold.
Nespresso’s hermetically sealed aluminum capsules theoretically ensure mold-free coffee by creating an air-tight environment, reducing exposure to oxygen and humidity.
Mold can be present at various stages of coffee processing, from growth to roasting, making a close relationship with producers critical for ensuring quality.
Symptoms of moldy coffee consumption include headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and irritability, while long-term exposure may lead to cancer due to mycotoxin presence.
