Israel Hayom — Starbucks capsules hold less coffee at the same price (14 Jan 2026) israelhayom.co.il

Source fetched 2026-10-26.

Some Starbucks Nespresso-compatible capsule packs in Israel now state 0.2 g less coffee per capsule: 5.5 g instead of 5.7 g, while the 10-pack still costs ₪21.50. Osem-Nestlé called it a global optimisation of roasting and grinding, marked on the pack. Three blends were cut; the others are unchanged.
