Sjöstrand Capsule Machine 'The Original Brass 2.0'

With the Sjöstrand The Original 2.0 in brass, you can quickly make a strong espresso or a mild lungo – exactly how you like it. The warm brass finish gives your kitchen a luxurious, striking accent; the machine itself is built to last for years: repairable, with an interchangeable handle and an all-steel coffee spout. Compatible with Nespresso® Original capsules and Sjöstrand's own biodegradable capsules.

Scandinavian design, made to last

The Original 2.0 is the further developed version of Sjöstrand's iconic capsule machine from Stockholm. The housing is made of high-quality stainless steel with a brass finish. Inside, the construction has been updated for a more stable temperature and more precise water dosing, so that the taste and aroma of every capsule are better brought to their full potential. The coffee spout is now made entirely of steel, making it sturdier and easier to keep clean. The handle can be changed without tools – you can later choose oak, walnut or beech, for example, via our Sjöstrand collection.

How to use the machine

Fill the removable 1.2-liter water tank, open the lever, insert a capsule and close it again. Press the espresso or lungo button to start brewing. By default, espresso is approximately 40 ml and lungo approximately 110 ml; you can program both volumes yourself by holding the button until the desired volume is reached. The adjustable drip tray fits cups up to approximately 15 cm high. After approximately 28 minutes of inactivity, the machine switches to energy-saving mode.

Key features

The pump operates at 19 bar, suitable for Nespresso® Original capsules. The transparent capsule container holds up to 15 used capsules and has an integrated water separator, so you can see at a glance when it needs to be emptied. Power: 1200–1400 W (220–240 V). Dimensions: approximately 25.9 × 18.6 × 33.6 cm (h × w × d), weight: approximately 4.4 kg. Warranty: 2 years. Sjöstrand supports the repair and replacement of wear parts, even after the warranty period, for a fee.

Maintenance and descaling

Regularly clean the drip tray, capsule container and spout with water. The water tank is removable and easy to rinse. Periodic descaling is important for consistent taste and a long lifespan: approximately every 3 to 6 months with normal home use, or when the machine indicates that descaling is required (often after approximately 1200 brewing cycles). Use a descaling agent suitable for capsule machines and follow the instructions in the manual. Never immerse the base of the machine in water.

Capsules and compatibility

The machine is designed for Nespresso® Original capsules (not for Vertuo). In addition, Sjöstrand's own capsules fit, including biodegradable options without aluminum. This allows you to choose the convenience of the well-known Original system or a more sustainable alternative from the brand itself. Nespresso® is a third-party registered trademark and is not affiliated with Sjöstrand.

Which capsules fit in The Original 2.0?

Nespresso® Original capsules and Sjöstrand's own capsules. Capsules for the Vertuo system or other systems (such as Dolce Gusto) do not fit.

Can I set the coffee volume myself?

Yes. Hold the espresso or lungo button down until the desired volume is in your cup; the machine will remember that setting for next time. By default, espresso is set to around 40 ml and lungo to around 110 ml.

Can the machine be repaired?

Yes. Sjöstrand deliberately designs The Original 2.0 so that wear parts can be replaced instead of discarding the entire machine. It comes with a 2-year warranty; after that, repair and maintenance services remain available for a fee.

How often should I descale?

With normal home use, approximately every 3 to 6 months, or when the machine displays a descaling message. Hard water requires more frequent descaling. Regular descaling keeps the taste pure and extends the lifespan of the pump and heating element.

What colors are available?

The Original 2.0 is available in Black, Beige, Brass and Steel. View all variants and matching accessories on the Sjöstrand brand page.
