A range of coffee recipes

All Nespresso coffees blend beautifully with milk. Even coffees of a more delicate and nuanced character develop surprising new dimensions when combined with milk, froth or cream. This creates an almost infinite palette of taste variations.

Depending on which coffee you use, a cappucino or latte macchiato can have many different, delicious flavours.

Frequently asked questions

  • All Nespresso capsules are made from aluminium and can be recycled. Bring your used capsules to one of our collection points, drop them off at your neast Nespresso store or waste collection center, or fill your recycling bag with used capsules and give it to the mailman when they next deliver your order. By adding capsule recycling to your coffee ritual, your coffee won't only taste good, it'll feel good, too.

  • Each capsule contains high quality, specially-selected ground coffee from coffee-growing lands worldwide. We start by choosing and picking the highest quality beans. That's all thanks to our partners. We're working with 70,000 farmers who are committed as we are to cultivating these rare beans. Take your pick from the wide variety of capsules, each with its own distinctive character and aroma.

  • Nothing is more important than ensuring you enjoy the same high-quality coffee, every time. From bean to cup, the quality and sustainability of your coffee is at the heart of who we are. Our commitment to you is to make sure you can enjoy the highest possible quality coffee, without taking any shortcuts. We've been working on our AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program with the Rainforest Alliance since 2003 to make sure we get your cup of coffee perfectly right.

  • Each Nespresso capsule flavour is different. Strong or smooth, crisp or creamy, the world is your oyster.

  • Various scientific studies indicate that an intake of 300 to 400mg of caffeine from all sources per day for the normally healthy adult population does not cause any adverse effects on health.

    Expressed in cups, it means 300–400 mg of caffeine typically represents 4–5 cups of Nespresso Original coffees, or 2 to 5 cups of Vertuo coffee which may vary according to blend.

    Official recommendations for pregnant and breastfeeding women, however, are that:

    – they limit their caffeine intake to 200–300 mg per day,

    – the equivalent of 3 to 4 cups of Nespresso Original coffees per day, or 1 to 4 cups of Vertuo coffee.

  • Yes of course, but it depends on what you're looking for. Eg: ISPIRAZIONE Palermo Kazaar is a coffee that will preserve its roasted character, in contrast with lighter coffees like Volluto for example that evolve more when prepared with milk. Intense coffees have the unique ability to retain their roasty, smokey and pleasing bitterness, even with the addition of milk. Lighter coffees, on the other hand, will develop caramel/biscuit notes when prepared with milk. For sweet experiences, you can realise creative recipes you will find on ultimate coffee creations.

  • A coffee cherry is the fruit on the coffee tree, whereas the coffee bean is inside the coffee cherry that will be roasted and ground to end up in your cup.

  • Coffee is a very versatile drink that can be consumed and prepared in many ways. Nespresso offers you a machine and coffee to give you a perfect cup of coffee, time after time. Depending on the blend you choose, you can have a very strong Italian style espresso, a larger smooth coffee, or a chocolate-flavoured coffee.
