Yummy. Only nespresso pods work. Sign up for a subscription on their site for the best deals.

I’m currently loving hazelnut, caramel, and the limited edition holiday flavor,

Ty
Since I am a total ignoramus on all things nespresso ( been Keurig drinker for 10+ years)🤣 are these coffee or espresso ?

And for espresso - do u drink as a shot or do u froth and add milk? ( I bought the version with the aeroccino frother)

You can get a variety pack from their site to see what you like. Also there are descriptions in terms of the various blends and you can get a sense of what is appealing to you based on what you like in a coffee.

The Nespresso produces delicious espresso shots complete with authentic crema. You can use it for espresso or cappuccino or latte depending on your preferences. I generally froth milk for either a cappuccino or latte depending on my mood.

I don't use mine for Americano - regular coffee so can't advise on that as I bought it because it makes superb espresso which is the basis of cappuccino and lattes.

Also - depending on what you like you can also use it to make Starbuck clone drinks. There are loads of recipes on the internet for clone fancy Starbucks drinks.

Thank - what are your picks ? I’m not going to be making fancy recipes prob just whatever in the machine and froth added …

Also is their site best option? And are all their pods kosher? Trying to find an updated list…

I haven't ordered for a while. I tend to like rich coffees so I am drawn to those descriptions. Also I will try something new that seems appealing - it's only a few pods and I like almost all coffees I have tried.

I think some of the flavored coffees aren't but I don't get those as I find they generally have a bit of an artificial taste and if I am going or a flavor I would rather create it myself with syrups.

I would use the site because they have everything. If you sign up you will get various promotions and I expect a good one for Black Friday.

I think they have a store in Bloomingdales but I have never been. It is much easier to order online from them.

I emailed them and they sent me the kosher certification. I’m pretty sure all of their flavors were on there but haven’t double checked everything. If you email them they usually respond pretty quickly.

I like cappuccino, I add frothed milk. These aren’t espresso favors but they do have plenty.

From my last order:
Pumpkin spice cake
Roasted hazelnut
Golden caramel
Sweet vanilla

They also have really good iced coffee flavors in the summer.

I like a good strong coffee, the only pods I drink is Intenso. It's an americano.
Highlight of my morning!! I won't drink it until the kids are out and the house is quiet, heaven.

I like a nice big cup of coffee - not just a shot.

Can the espresso be made that way or just cappuccino ? And is an americano a reg size cup?

I got the milk frother too - is that used with all sizes?

( sorry if I sound uninformed lol I am!)

You need to read the instructions for your machine? You use the larger Nespresso pods for larger cups of coffee. If your machine has the capability of using the larger pods to make larger cups, then it will read them automatically and use the appropriate amount of water when brewing.

The frother makes the quantity of frothed milk you want to add to your coffee. A cappuccino uses less milk - a latte uses more milk. Some people like more froth - some people prefer a lighter latte. It's personal taste.
