Nespresso Original Espresso Pods Variety Pack — 50-Count Mild to Medium Blends, Aluminum Capsules

Nespresso Original Variety Pack brings together five mild-to-medium espresso blends in 50 aluminum pods for the OriginalLine system, letting you sample balanced, aromatic coffees at home.

This assorted box contains 10 pods each of Volluto, Capriccio, Cosi, Tokyo Vivalto Lungo and Vienna Linizio Lungo, chosen to showcase subtle sweetness, gentle roast notes and approachable intensity. All blends focus on accessibility and consistent extraction in Nespresso Original machines, so you can enjoy short espressos or lungo recipes without changing capsules.

What flavors and bean origins are included in this assortment?

The pack mixes 100% Arabica options and one blend that pairs Arabica with Robusta, spanning South America, East Africa, Costa Rica and Kenya origins. Each capsule highlights distinct tasting traits—fruity brightness, light toasty notes, and rounded body—so you can alternate profiles by mood or recipe.

• Volluto: sweet, light; 100% Arabica from South America; Intensity 4.
• Capriccio: richer, distinctive fusion of South American Arabica + Robusta; Intensity 5.
• Cosi: mild, delicate toast; 100% Arabica from Costa Rica and Kenya; Intensity 4.
• Tokyo Vivalto Lungo: complex, balanced lungo; 100% Arabica from South America & East Africa; Intensity 4.
• Vienna Linizio Lungo: round and smooth; 100% Arabica from South America; Intensity 4.

How do these pods work with different Nespresso machines?

These aluminum capsules are designed exclusively for Nespresso OriginalLine machines and produce consistent 1.35 oz espresso servings or longer brews when you use the lungo setting. They are not compatible with Nespresso Vertuo machines, which use a different capsule shape and extraction method.

• OriginalLine compatibility: guaranteed fit and proper extraction pressure.
• Brewing size: optimized for 1.35 oz espresso; lungo-friendly options for Tokyo and Vienna blends.
• Not for Vertuo: avoid use in Vertuo machines to prevent damage or poor extraction.

What can I expect from cup strength and aroma?

Intensity ratings range from 4 to 5, favoring approachable strength with aromatic clarity rather than heavy roast bitterness. Expect bright acidity in the lighter Arabica blends, gentle toasted notes in the mild roasts, and fuller body where Robusta is blended in—ideal for milk-based and black coffee preparations alike.

• Intensity 4 blends: balanced acidity, clear aroma, smooth finish.
• Intensity 5 (Capriccio): slightly fuller body and more pronounced roast edge.
• Suitable for milk drinks: mild profiles pair well with steamed milk or cream.

Are the capsules recyclable and how do I recycle them?

Nespresso aluminum capsules protect freshness and are fully recyclable; Nespresso provides multiple collection options depending on your country. After use, collect spent pods and return them through Nespresso drop-off points, mail-back programs, or local recycling schemes where available.

• Aluminum construction preserves aroma and supports recycling programs.
• Check local Nespresso recycling collection points or mail-back envelopes.
• Empty capsules should be collected and handled according to Nespresso guidelines.

Who is this for: This variety pack suits home coffee lovers and office users who want to explore balanced, mild-to-medium espresso profiles without committing to a single blend. It’s ideal for people who own Nespresso OriginalLine machines and enjoy switching between fruity, smooth, and slightly richer coffees for straight espressos, lattes or lungo recipes.
