Capsule Filling Tips
There are a number of ways to fill a capsule. Everyone seems to find their own preferred methods. You can fill capsules by using a fork, a spoon, a thin spatula, a pastry bag...
It is important to not have air bubbles within your ingredient in the capsule, or breaks may occur in your print. To remove air bubbles, push the ingredient down fully into the capsule.
Make sure you ALWAYS use a capsule press inside the capsules prior to printing or Foodini can be severely damaged.

Have a Capsule Press that Feels Too Tight in the Capsule Body?
If the capsule press feels too snug or tight in the capsule body, do add a drop of cooking oil around the rim of the capsule press (where it makes contact with the capsule body.) We prefer to use olive oil, but use any cooking oil you have on hand in the kitchen.
Refilling a Capsule that Ran Out of Ingredient
Have a capsule with a capsule press all the way down by the nozzle? An easy way to remove the capsule press is to first remove the nozzle, and then use a blunt kitchen object like a chopstick or spoon handle to push the nozzle up to the top of the capsule for easy removal. Do not use sharp objects as they may damage the capsule press.
