"Our biggest issue with this sampler pack is that it isn't a variety pack at all. The starter pack only offers the brand's cold brew pods rather than a spread of different kinds. To be fair, Nespresso only makes one kind of cold brew pod for the Vertuo machine, so there aren't any other blends or flavors to be offered."
"Nespresso offers so many pods that are fantastic over ice, making the Cold Brew pods lackluster against the whole lineup. The Nespresso site describes the Cold Brew as "a smooth and silky-textured coffee, with roasted caramel notes, low bitterness, and a pleasant acidity that is typical of cold brew flavors." But we feel it doesn't quite live up to that appealing description."
The Cold Brew Starter Pack includes two sleeves of cold brew-style Vertuo pods and two cold coffee glasses, priced at $51.40. The pack contains only the single cold brew pod variant because Nespresso makes only one cold brew option for Vertuo machines. The cold brew pods are described by Nespresso as smooth, silky, and low in bitterness, but some tasters found them underwhelming and watered-down compared with other iced options. A Reddit user rated the pods 6.5/10 and noted floral flavors yet disappointment. The Nespresso Pour-Over pods were judged superior in a direct comparison.
