I just tried the Bianco Leggero pod, and you were so right. It really helped me re-create a latte from a local coffee shop that I love but it’s seven dollars. Thank you!! ☕️
Same here, I got tired of the rising prices so I got a Vertuo roundhead. I really just want a cappuccino in the morning so I'll give this Blanco pod a try. There is one in the sampler pack!
That caramel cookie made my mouth water. I love sweet coffee. I didn’t know they had specific ones for iced coffee! I’m so desperate to get in to my own home to get all this 😩
Yes! Bianco Leggero, Ice Leggero and Bianco Forte are my favorites. I love them with any combinations of milk, half & half, or almond milk and vanilla or caramel syrup. I prefer the syrups over the flavored pods.
Your taste is identical to mine! I just purchased a Vertuo Next machine and I too am a medium roast kind of person. Looking forward to trying these suggestions out!
Thank you for explaining the pods and cup sizes. I just purchased the Vertuo Plus and was very confused on the amount that was being brewed. My first cup I tried was a espresso shot then the next was overflowing my cup into the tray. 😖🤣
All of these pods, I use as iced coffee lol, I let it chill after brewing, pour over a tall glass of ice, with almond milk creamer, and it’s delicious. Especially the first one you mentioned is my favorite!
Loved this! Really helped me in so many ways understand the pods and Strengths etc loved how you showed what to add with them etc I like my coffee a lot like you do and not strong tasting so I need ideas thank you!
Thank you! Just bought the Nespresso VertuoPlus because it was such a good discount and have NO background knowledge on how this all works. I appreciate the info!
hi! I love your laid back personality and vibe of your vids! My fave pod is melozio! I usually like syrups but with melozio the flavor is so good I do without sweetnener and its perf! Highly recommend it. Also I LOVE caramel cookie too!! SO GOOD!! :)
Caramel cookie is my fave too and the purple one 😱 I tried the dark chocolate (too woody) and a holiday fruity flavor (too fruity) I didn’t like them. I have both machines like you but my knowledge of the capsules is not there so I really love listening to you talk about them!
Thank you! Caramel cookie 🤤 I haven’t tried the dark chocolate. I’ve been falling in love with my mini Essenza all over again since my machine broke. I forgot how nice it was 🥰
I love this Scuro espresso. It makes a great latte/Frappuccino. ( not sure what I drink is called lol. Half espresso and half almond milk - and do that for both warm and iced drink 🙃). But, I will have to say, Nespresso messed up my order and sent me Peru Organic instead of Scuro and when I called them they said they couldn’t take back, for me to keep ( and they immediately sent my correct order-- nespresso customer service is AMAZING ). Anyway.. that one now is my favorite espresso capsule!! So smooth. Only problem is it’s a single shot, I do double, so have to use 2 capsules for my drink, which is expensive. I really wish they would have size options for the flavors. ( double shot Peru would be awesome). Thanks for this video. So helpful and informative 🤗
Ive binge watched all your videos! I’m obsessed lol, but just wanted to point out i love your makeup here, maybe if you’re ever that bored a tutorial would be so cool. Look forward to all your videos now!!
Thank you! My channel used to be all about makeup so if you go back you’ll find plenty of tutorials all which I still do now so nothing has changed really 😋
Hello, I hope your well, I'm a bit of a Nespresso machine noob so your help is much appreciated. On my Nespresso app it does not show Bianco Leggero but it does show Bianco Doppio, is this the same as the Leggero. Thank you in advance, kind regards :)
Bianco Leggero os now discontinued unfortunately. I personally think Bianco piccolo is similar to it but you’ll need two capsules to make it a double. Doppio is similar but a bit more nuttier
Thank you after watching your video i realy know now alot more about the pods mostly i just try all without useing milk or cream but now im going to use your grear tips and video and i know my coffee is going to be 100% better,thanks again fantastic video
I'm new to the Nespresso world! I got a Venturo for Christmas 🎄! My favorites are Chocolate Fudge and Caramel Cookie. I also have Hazelino Muffin and Vanilla Custard. Thanks for sharing the different coffees and what to use for a latte versus the ice coffee!
Do these pods have sugar as an ingredient? I only use allulose, monk fruit, stevia, etc. Thanks for advice! I want to order a machine. Can't decide what I want/need.
I like all of your favorites. Also, Chocolate Fudge is very good. I put in two pumps of chocolate sauce and some whole milk. Like it very much. It seems to be one of those pods equally divided between those that like it and think it’s just ok.
I just got a "NEXT" recently as a gift and it was very difficult at first to under some of the sample pods that had no descriptions or labels the colors on the box were confusing but with that out of the way ......... OH BOY!!! why did I tortured myself for so long with my Keurig that serves me lukewarm flavor water that suppose to taste like actual ☕ ☕. Alex, your recommendation of the first pod choice told me all that i needed to know from you, (automatic subscribe) Mahalo very very much 🤙🤙 Aloha 🌈🌈
@@_Alexmojica funny that you replied on the day I discovered another awesome thing I overlooked… I’m not much of a milk or cream in my coffee kind of guy, but I decided to try the little additional accessory that came with my VERTUO paired with the Star Bucks | Medium Roast | Pike Place (100% Arabica Coffee; Chocolate & Toasted Nut Notes) [ Intensity 7️⃣ ] But flavor explosion 💥 of 💯 🤯🤩🥰 I’ve really been missing out
@@_Alexmojica Thank you!!! Maybe if you can do your favorite coffee capsules on the original line, that would be great!! I'm new to the whole nespresso thing, I've only had chemex coffee drip (dark roast) my whole coffee-drinking-life hahahaha. BUT if you can't make a video on that, please do recommend some in here! Any capsule that works with iced and hot and is on the strong coffee side! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤍🤍
Thank you! I am about to get one and I’m trying to figure out which pods to get. Have you ever used the pods to make a frappe? I love caramel frappes and I’m trying to figure out which pods would help make that.
I only need the espresso honestly. I don't like the taste of coffee but when it's transformed into a latte something magical happens. Latte and mocha are pretty much all I drink. Otherwise it's tea. When I can grab the limited edition Peru and Zimbabwe, those are my favorite. The most disgusting one I tried is vanilla custard. Also the flavored ones in general I didn't like even caramel cookie. Ajdnthe limited edition Italian expresso around Christmas time I didn't like.
Hello. I've been watching all your videos. I have nespresso vertuo next. With aeroccino 3. Bianco leggero is your fav as you said. But when I tried it, it has this sour taste. The acidity is quite strong. Can you advice me on how to make hot an iced coffee? Should I add caramel syrup into the coffee or into the milk? I just recently bought the syrup at the supermarket coz the syrup that you recommended are out of stock when I checked it 😕
My wife likes the vanilla latte from Starbucks, what is the best Nespresso flavor thats close to that? Also this may be a dumb question but if you normally order a Venti, would you make 2 pods of the same flavor for that size? Thanks
Okay so I don’t like basic regular coffee. My go to are the milky drinks either an iced latte or hot latte. So to me I’m like I don’t need a vertuo line I need original machine. That’s what i ended up getting. When I drink my coffee I like a enjoy like a grande size so I need double espresso but now I’m using two pods which costs more than if I bought the verto and stuck with the double espresso pods. I’m thinking to get the vertuo instead and send the original machine back. Or do you suggest I brew my espresso pod as a lungo to be equivalent to a double espresso? I’m confused do you brew your espressos as lungos? Maybe that’s the solution….but I also don’t want watered down shots since I do add a lot of milk and syrups (that’s why I use 2 pods for double shots). Help….thoughts??
Hi Alex! Any recommendations for original line decaf pods to try? All your original line recos are bomb and would like to ask if you have any decaf ones to recommend
I think this might be in addition to kuerig , cause i drink 8-10 cups a day that machine kill me in pods . By the way stupid question how many pods a box?
I was looking into this machine as it's on sale right now but I have heard the original machine is better because the pods are cheaper and there's more variety...thoughts?
True but you’ll loose the big coffee pod options. Original line is exclusively espresso. Once vertuo patent expires you’ll see more third party capsules most likely in 2023
They are out of stock in the us too! At least the leggero is. If you want iced coffee still try this recipe with bianco leggero. You won’t be disappointed I promise!
Glad you enjoy the videos! The pods are mainly only online . If you have a Nespresso boutique store nearby then you can buy them there too but they don’t sell their pods at regular supermarket stores as of now.
I just bought a vertuo plus deluxe last night. Still waiting for it to arrive but the pods are still confusing for me. Your taste seems similar to mine so I’ll check out a few of your picks thanks. Btw does the nespresso site ever have sales on pods?
They don’t ever have sales and If they do i have yet to see them 😭 What do you like to drink as far as coffee? Maybe I can help your confusion with the pods
I usually make a standard size coffee mug at home with creamer. Occasionally I will make a “latte”with steamed milk so the sizes are what confuse me and whether to get espresso only for lattes. Usually I make coffee for myself and my bf
Ok I would just buy coffee size pods and if you want lattes then I would stick to the double espresso pods. Bianco leggero is a favorite of mine for lattes. The regular espresso pods just give you enough for a small latte comparable to a tall latte at Starbucks’s. The double espresso pods are more for a grande size latte. The coffee pods are more like your traditional drip coffee kinda like keurig but tastes way better. Does that make sense
I know! They do this every year. The only bring it back during the summer and once they run out that’s it until the next. I wish they would make it permanent.
They are limited edition 😭 ever since I started using Nespresso I’ve always said they need to make them permanent. If you want other options bianco leggero is pretty good for iced lattes
Bianco Leggero and Chiaro are my top two! I brew over ice, add 1 ounce of vanilla syrup and about 1/2 cup of half and half. I'm addicted!!! Thanks for the video. We have the same taste😊
That’s my first Nespresso machine I got! I loved it so much. I mainly used it for Lungos, and then would add almond milk. I can’t get myself to get rid of it just yet lol I will be making a video on OL coffee faves btw! I think that’s what you meant by the question lol
They brew hot. Nespresso says they are made to brew hot over ice but not dilute coffee taste or taste watered down. Wether that’s true or not they still taste pretty good over ice even though it comes out hot.
They are out of stock of the ice leggero 😭 the iced forte which is still worth checking out is available. I linked it in the description box, it’ll take you straight there. You can find the iced leggero on amazon but the sellers are charging a lot for it and it’s not worth the price.
Welcome! My Vertuo Next started leaking coffee from underneath. I called Nespresso and after trouble shooting it, they still weren’t able to fix the issue so they sent out a new one and they let me pick between the Next and the Vertuo plus. Since the next was out of stock u went with the PLUS and I don’t regret it! ☺️
Ok so how do I fix my vertuo plus, I brewed my first double espresso today and it only brewed 2 oz from a double scuro pod…. How the heck do I get the full 2.7?? I’m so confused
