Ella is that reserved friend that people tend to oversee at a party or event, or when you bump into her at the shop. 

She looks great, so you're intrigued, then you get a taste of her and you realize you have a new best friend. 

You crave more of her company. You learn that she has three personalities, but the one just gets better than the other! She is good for your health too. This strong, pure, personality is softened by the touch of farm life in Darling. 

She becomes your daily fix and you start taking her with you everywhere you go to introduce her to your friends. 

They like her, a lot. And before you know it you think: "What was life like before Ella as I simply cannot imagine life without her anymore". 

Ella is a revolutionary product and a whole new experience for coffee lovers. There is nothing else like it! It’s a convenient, easy-to-make, single-serve, great- tasting Cappuccino Mélange made with pure espresso and low fat milk. 

With the introduction of Ella Coffee we finally have a convenient cappuccino that can be made anywhere. One needs only an Ella capsule, cup and boiling water to make a hot and frothy Cappuccino Mélange...wherever, whenever.

The spirited inventor of the Ella cappuccino mélange, Neil Hellman, is a passionate, yet wild adventurer. 

Neil leads an adrenaline-filled life; and his adventures take him across the globe from flying missions into the African Savanna, to climbing the highest mountains, rafting wild rivers through towering gorges, to HALO jumping out of aeroplanes at 30 000 ft.

Every day might be different for Neil, but one thing stays the same: he starts each day and wraps up every evening with a cappuccino of the finest quality.

Neil’s adventures, though, often take him far away from the conveniences of modern life. One night while lying under the stars, Neil was determined to invent a cappuccino of premium quality that could be enjoyed wherever his travels and adventures took him. And so the story of Ella commenced.

Three years on and many hurdles later, Neil’s vision of creating a premium cappuccino mélange, one that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere, became a reality. 

It was of prime importance to Neil that the invention is as environmentally friendly as possible and as a result of this the cappuccino capsule, lid and frothing device are fully recyclable. 

Today he never has to adventure alone; he always has the perfect partner with him.

A mélange is often compared to a latte and cappuccino, but some characterise it as the blend of the two. The Ella Coffee team use only the best dark roasted beans to create this instant Ella Cappuccino Mélange, made with real liquid espresso and low-fat milk.

There are only 5 easy steps between you and a cappuccino mélange:

1. Choose which flavour you want (Classic, Vanilla, Mocha)

2. Shake the capsule for 20 - 30 seconds

3. Remove the seal and pour it into a cup

4. Fill the empty capsule with boiling water

5. Add it to your cup

With the current and much needed focus on a holistic health-based lifestyle, it’s important that we pay attention to what we put into our bodies and the environment.

We’re living in time where the environment needs us more than ever. Most traditional capsules can't be recycled easily because they’re often made of a mixture of plastic and aluminium. 

This, combined with the dregs of organic waste from unused ground coffee sitting in the bottom of the pod makes them difficult to process in standard municipal recycling plants. 

Ella’s convenience and recyclable packaging has truly been designed as a cappuccino for the future!

Ella is currently available in Classic, Mocha and Vanilla flavours. 

It can be ordered online at www.ella.coffee at R138 for 12 capsules. 

It’s also available at selected Checkers stores in the Western Cape, Spar and soon Pick n Pay too.
