Choose a 240-count pack only if its units and preparation method fit where the coffee will be served: MaxiCoffee lists Lavazza Dek as 240 capsules for Nespresso Original machines, not 240 coffee bags. For a shared kettle area, portioned instant coffee or coffee bags avoid the need for a capsule machine; a jar or tin suits people who can measure each drink, but its weight is not a serving count.
Individual portions let staff or guests make decaf without measuring from a jar. Zepbrook / Greenworks Coffee lists Nescafé decaf instant sticks in 200-count cases; check the count rather than assuming a case contains 240.
If exactly 240 individual portions matter, MaxiCoffee lists Lavazza Dek as eight boxes of 30 capsules. This route requires a Nespresso Original-compatible machine, so it does not suit a kettle-only room.
Decaf instant coffee can be measured from a jar, while individually wrapped Taylors of Harrogate coffee bags brew in a mug. Choose between quick instant preparation and the coffee bag’s four-minute brew.
Decide how the drink will be made before comparing pack sizes: a count of capsules, sticks or bags answers a different question from the weight of a jar.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Confirm the capsule system before ordering capsules. MaxiCoffee specifies Nespresso Original compatibility for Lavazza Dek; instant coffee needs hot water, while Taylors coffee bags brew in a mug. | There is only a kettle at the service point, so I need a drink people can make without a capsule machine. |
| Pack units | Read the unit beside the number. MaxiCoffee’s Lavazza Dek pack contains 240 capsules; Office Stationery lists a Nescafé Azera Decaffeinated tin weighing 240 g. Neither description means 240 coffee bags. | I need to plan individual drinks, not mistake a pack’s weight for its portion count. |
| Portioning | Check whether portions are individual or measured from a container. Zepbrook / Greenworks Coffee lists Nescafé decaf sticks in 200-count cases; jar servings depend on the amount used per drink. | For guests or meetings, I would rather provide separate portions; at home, measuring from a jar is manageable. |
| Drink style | Check whether the product is plain instant coffee, a coffee bag or a prepared drink mix. Sainsbury’s gives Taylors Decaffé bags a four-minute brew; a decaf cappuccino mix may contain milk ingredients. | I want to know both what will be in the mug and how long it takes to prepare. |
A 240 g instant-coffee tin gives its weight, whereas MaxiCoffee’s 240-capsule Lavazza Dek pack contains 240 individual capsules.
Check whether the number refers to grams, capsules, sticks, sachets or bags before planning how many people a pack will serve.
Lavazza Dek’s 240-capsule pack is specified for Nespresso Original-compatible machines, not for preparation by adding water to a mug.
Confirm the machine system first. If only a kettle is available, compare instant coffee and coffee bags instead.
Without a compatible machine already on site, using those capsules would require access to one.
Sainsbury’s lists Taylors Decaffé as a 10-bag retail pack. Ordering multiple packs would not make them a single 240-bag box.
If one 240-bag carton is required, confirm the carton and bag counts on the product listing before ordering.
Instant coffee, mug-brewed coffee bags, capsules and cappuccino mixes differ in preparation and composition. Taylors specifies a four-minute brew for its Decaffé bags.
Choose the preparation format first, then read the current product label for ingredients and instructions.
A kettle-and-mug instant-coffee option: Nescafé lists Original Decaf in 100 g, 190 g and 300 g jars, while Zepbrook / Greenworks Coffee lists Original Decaffeinated and Gold Blend Decaffeinated sticks in 200-count cases.
Kenco lists Decaf instant coffee in 95 g and 190 g jars and describes Millicano Decaff as instant coffee blended with finely milled whole beans.
Taylors Decaffé offers coffee bags for brewing in a mug without a coffee machine. Sainsbury’s lists a 10-bag pack and gives a four-minute brew in its preparation instructions.
These options are instant decaf coffee in tins or jars and individually portioned decaf cappuccino mixes. They suit hot-water preparation, but their stated weights or sachet counts should not be read as a 240-bag pack.

For seven individually portioned hot-water cappuccino drinks, rather than plain instant coffee. This mix has milk ingredients; check the current label if allergens matter.
Not necessarily: the unit matters. MaxiCoffee lists Lavazza Dek as 240 capsules, while Office Stationery lists a Nescafé Azera Decaffeinated tin weighing 240 g; the tin’s weight is not a stated serving count.
No. MaxiCoffee specifies Nespresso Original compatibility for its 240-capsule Lavazza Dek pack. For a kettle-only location, choose a product whose instructions allow hot-water preparation in a mug, such as suitable instant coffee or coffee bags.
Do not assume that from the word “decaf” alone. Nescafé says its Original Decaf has most of the caffeine removed; check the current label for information about the particular product you are buying.
Sainsbury’s product instructions call for a kettle, mug and spoon: add the bag and boiled but not boiling water, stir and squeeze, then brew for four full minutes before removing the bag.
