In order to be able to make a cup of coffee of wonderful flavour and aroma, let‘s first discuss what is important to pay attention to when choosing coffee capsules? 

How to choose coffee capsules for Nespresso machines?

As far as Nespresso technology and the coffee prepared using it are concerned, 3 main distinguishing features are generally emphasized: coffee flavour, speed of preparation and convenience. Capsules adapted to this type of machine, Nespresso coffee machine itself and water are needed to prepare a perfect cup of Nespresso coffee. After the selected coffee capsule is inserted and the button is pressed, enticing aromas of coffee can soon be smelled. This occurs quietly and smoothly, without any mess. 

Of course, not only Nespresso coffee machines deserve praise, but also coffee capsules that are designed for them. In the coffee capsules for the Nespresso machine, the highest quality coffee mixes are carefully selected, offering coffee enthusiasts their favorite recipes, tastes and aromas. However, from a wide range of flavours, choosing the coffee capsules that you like the most can be a daunting task. Therefore, to help, we will name the most important selection criteria.

The coffee capsules for Nespresso machine contain carefully selected blends of a coffee of high quality. They offer coffee enthusiasts their favourite recipes, flavours and aromas. Still, it can be difficult to choose the coffee capsules that you like best from a wide range of flavours. Therefore, to help you, we will name the most important selection criteria.

Compatibility of Nespresso capsules. Be sure to note that Nespresso has two capsule systems – Original and Vertuo. The Original machines are designed to use only Original coffee capsules, and Vertuo machines – only Vertuo coffee capsules. The important thing is that the design of the capsules of these two lines and the principles of making coffee are different. So, they are not compatible with each other. The product range of Coffee Friend offers Nespresso Original coffee capsules of wide variety of coffee types and flavours. So, using the Original capsule system you will easily embark on a journey of special flavours.

Coffee type. When choosing coffee capsules for Nespresso machine, it is worth considering their composition. Although the coffee capsules are characterized by the purity of the coffee, which means that they usually contain vacuum-packed freshly ground coffee that is free of any additives, aroma lovers were not left disappointed either. Flavoured coffee capsules that provide an exclusive experience of enjoying flavoured coffee capsules that provide an exclusive experience also can be found.

Coffee species. There are two main types of coffee in the world – Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are distinguished by a rich palette of flavours that unfolds depending on the region – the coffee flavour can be sweet with fruity notes or more expressive, characterized by notes of nuts and roasted grains. Robusta beans have a more intense flavour, which allows you experience much more pronounced, more bitter flavours. When choosing coffee capsules for the Nespresso machine, you will usually notice that they are 100% Arabica or a blend of Arabica and Robusta. Those who want to experience lighter, fruity flavours can choose coffee capsules that contain Arabica. They are perfect for aromatic black coffee with a delicate flavour. For those looking for more intense flavours, we recommend capsules that contain Arabica and Robusta blends. They are perfect for both a strong sip of espresso and milder drinks with milk.

Level of roasting. Level of coffee bean roasting plays one of the most important roles that determines the final flavour of your cup of coffee. If you like light coffee with a delicate flavour, you should choose capsules that contain ground coffee of a lighter roast. And if you want a thicker “body“ coffee characterised by a slight bitterness and a more intense flavour, look out for medium dark and dark roast coffees. We offer medium-roasted coffee capsules for coffee lovers that have a balanced taste and moderate strength. 

Coffee intensity. Numbers or scales by which producers indicate the intensity of coffee can often be found on the packaging of coffee capsules or in the product description. A scale of 1 to 13 is generally used to determine levels of intensity. It is important to know that levels of coffee capsules suitable for Nespresso machines depend on coffee concentration, its “body“, bitterness and level of roasting. This means that the darker the roast, the stronger the coffee is, which is rated as more intense. So, you should pay attention to this scale: 1-5 – the coffee has a light flavour, is characterised by a mild aroma; 6–8 – balanced coffee with a rich flavour; 9-13 – full-bodied coffee that is characterised by rich aroma.
