For individual cups without a capsule machine, choose sachets of instant decaf coffee, provided you can find the size you want through your chosen grocery collection service. Amazon France lists a pack of 240 NESCAFÉ sachets, while Carrefour lists a pack of 24 × 10 Kabioca capsules compatible with Nespresso® machines. These two formats are prepared differently. If you make several cups at once, ground coffee is another option, but you’ll need to measure out the amount yourself.
Individual sachets let you make each cup with hot water. When placing a grocery collection order, check that the product is decaffeinated, contains the number of sachets you want and is available from your store.
A large pack of capsules may be a good choice if its compatibility with your machine is clearly stated. The pack of 240 Kabioca capsules listed by Carrefour is not a substitute for 240 sachets of instant coffee.
With a suitable coffee maker, decaf ground coffee lets you make as much as you need, using your preferred amount. Its weight in grams does not correspond to a fixed number of individual servings.
Start with how you’ll prepare it: an instant coffee sachet, a capsule compatible with your machine or ground coffee that you measure out yourself. Then check the actual number of units and the ordering options available through your chosen grocery collection service.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| 240 individual sachets | Look for “decaffeinated”, check whether they’re sachets or sticks, and confirm the number of units on the product page. | If I want to serve one cup at a time without a capsule machine, I need to be able to count out servings without confusing sachets with capsules. Around 45% of consumers would put this need for individual portions first. |
| Machine compatibility | Check which capsule system is specifically named, rather than relying on the capsule’s shape alone. | If I use a machine, a large box is only useful if the capsules are compatible with it. Compatibility would be the priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Making several cups | Check that the ground coffee is suitable for your machine, along with its net weight and the preparation instructions. | When I make coffee for several people, I’m happy to measure out ground coffee instead of counting individual servings. Around 18% of consumers would favour making a larger quantity this way. |
| Ordering through your chosen collection service | Check the selected store, whether you can add the product to your basket and the collection options shown. | Before choosing a format, I need to be able to order it from the store where I collect my shopping. This would be the main consideration for around 10% of consumers. |
The NESCAFÉ pack listed by Amazon France contains 240 sachets of instant decaf coffee; the Kabioca pack listed by Carrefour contains 240 capsules compatible with Nespresso®. A weight in grams, on the other hand, doesn’t tell you a fixed number of servings.
Before choosing a large pack, check the type of coffee, the number of units and how it needs to be prepared.
Ten boxes of 25 sticks make 250 sticks, not 240. Auchan lists Nescafé Spécial Filtre Décaféiné in boxes of 25 sachets.
If you’re combining several boxes, add up the total number of units and check that each one contains the same type of coffee.
Carrefour listed its Extra decaf sticks in packs of 25 as unavailable for collection. A product page alone doesn’t confirm that you can collect the item from your chosen store.
Select your collection store and check that you can add the product to your basket before completing your order.
The number of cups depends on how much coffee you use and how you prepare it. For its decaf ground coffee, Auchan gives preparation guidance for Malongo: 7 g in a percolator and 10 g in a filter coffee maker.
If you need servings that are already measured out, choose pre-portioned packaging. Otherwise, follow the instructions for your ground coffee and coffee maker.

Worth considering if you’re looking for decaf coffee in a 100 g format rather than pre-counted sachets. Check the preparation instructions before choosing it: its weight doesn’t make it equivalent to a box of 240 servings.
No. The number of units may be the same, but the preparation method is different. Amazon France lists the NESCAFÉ pack as 240 sachets of instant decaf coffee, while Carrefour lists the Kabioca pack as 24 × 10 capsules compatible with Nespresso® machines. The capsules require a compatible machine.
For this product, which comes in packs of 25 sachets, Auchan recommends pouring one stick into a cup and adding 100 ml of hot water just off the boil. Follow the instructions on the pack you buy.
For its 250 g decaf ground coffee, Auchan recommends sealing the pack well and, ideally, storing it in an airtight container in the fridge. Check the storage instructions on your own pack, as they may vary by product.
A product shown in a catalogue isn’t necessarily available for collection from your selected store. Carrefour listed its Extra decaf sticks as unavailable for collection. Choose your store, then check whether you can add the pack you want to your basket.
