"Whether you're new to the world of Nespresso or just trying to find a new morning brew, you've probably noticed there is a dizzying array of capsules to choose from. Even if you avoid compatible brands and stick to Nespresso options only, you're faced with different flavors, shapes, and sizes. So how do you know which one is for you? Well, there are two things that will help you navigate the catalogue:"
"The kind of Nespresso machine you own is going to instantly eliminate many of the options for you. Nespresso has around 15 models of coffee maker, which are either part of the original line or the Vertuo line. These two types of machine brew coffee using different methods, and the capsules are not interchangeable. In addition, Vertuo models will not work with third party capsules, which means you will be selecting only from the official Nespresso options."
Nespresso machines fall into two main lines, Original and Vertuo, which use different brewing methods and have non-interchangeable capsules. Vertuo machines do not accept third-party capsules, limiting options to official Nespresso pods. Machine model determines available drink sizes and capabilities: entry-level Essenza Mini offers only espresso and lungo, while Creatista Plus provides multiple black coffee sizes and milk-based options. Vertuo machines offer a wider range of sizes, from ristretto to an 18-ounce carafe. Choosing capsules should start from preferred drink type; milky drinks benefit from high-intensity capsules brewed as espresso because milk mellows coffee flavor.
