best nespresso capsules
ased in Lausanne, Switzerland and part of the Nestlé Group, Nespresso is the most popular best Nespresso capsules for latte brand offering a wide selection of machines and capsules available in two lines, OriginalLine which are the original coffee capsules we review on this site and VertuoLine which are bigger capsules mostly designed for the US market.
 
As of 2021, the original line includes around 80+ coffee capsules divided in 8 categories: Limited Edition, Barista Creations, Italiana, Espresso, Master Origin, Lungo, Decaffeinato and Variations. That said, Nespresso seems to have branding issues as they continuously reorganize their coffee lines, which makes it confusing for consumers. You should also be aware that some of their classic capsules get renamed and remarketed as new.
 
Nespresso capsules usually include 5 grams of roast and ground coffee and their intensity is calculated on a scale from 0 to 13.
 
Servings offered include espresso (1.35 oz), lungo (3.70 oz) and ristretto (0.85 oz), most Originaline Nespresso machines being set for espresso and lungo with some upgraded models featuring options for Cappucino (espresso with milk) and Latte Macchiato (lungo with milk) – If you don’t have a ristretto button, all you have to do is stop at 2/3 on an espresso. Each coffee comes packaged in a rectangle box including 10 aluminium capsules which can be recycled by mail or dropped off at a Nespresso store near you.
 

EXCLUSIVE COFFEE CAPSULE REVIEWS

Growing up in Marseille, a Mediterranean city with a strong Italian heritage, sitting at cafe terraces sipping espressos was a way of life. An early Nespresso adopter with the Cube machine, I started reviewing Nespresso capsules because of a lack of capsule info at the time. Each capsule review follows the same strict, unbiased, uncompromising  process: 10+ capsules get tasted in their pure form, without any sugar, milk or water. Our reviews are designed to tell it like it is, without sugarcoating anything, and include a 5-star system. Because espressos are part of a lifestyle, we are also offer exclusive pairing guidance with food and music – being now located in Los Angeles with ties to the music and movie industries might have something to do with this.
