Expert opinion is essential at times. But at Nespresso we believe there’s no one better qualified to recommend the best blends we offer than those who drink our coffees every day. That’s you, our members! Which is why we’ve put together a list of our members’ favourite coffees.
If you’re a new member looking for advice on which pod to begin with, or you’re simply wanting to find a new favourite coffee blend, this is the perfect place to start. After all, we offer a whole world of choice. Literally.
Nespresso coffee comes from all over the globe: from the mountains of Latin America to the volcanic slopes of Kenya to the lush hills of India.
Our collection now stretches to more than 60 capsules, ranging from smooth, lightly roasted blends all the way to deep, dark, intense brews. And, naturally, everything in between.
Of course, everyone has their own individual pick.
But some of our capsules are undoubtedly favoured by more people than others. And by focusing on the most popular pods, we’ll hopefully help give you the inspiration to find a new favourite.
So here are the blends best loved by our Nespresso members.
Arpeggio
If you’re shopping for capsules in the Nespresso Original line, you’ll find a collection that’s as accomplished, fascinating and balanced as it is varied.
But above all, there’s one blend that has consistently stolen Australia’s heart: Arpeggio.
This is the nation’s favourite coffee capsule. And when you get a chance to sample Arpeggio’s rich aromas and flavours, you’ll see why.
It’s an intense, velvety coffee that combines cocoa notes with something sweeter and fruitier. The result is a mingling of flavours that is forward and full bodied without being overwhelming.
You can pour this dark, short-roasted Arabica coffee as a ristretto or an espresso, and enjoy it black or with added milk. Either way, you’ll know straight away it’s a winner.
Vertuo Double Espresso Chiaro
Nespresso members love a coffee that packs a punch.
The Vertuo range of double espresso capsules are the ideal choice if you love a coffee that’s rich in flavour and texture and robust in character.
Chief among them is our short-roasted, signature double espresso coffee blend: Double Espresso Chiaro.
This blend of South and Central American Arabica beans offers woody, earthy notes that come up beautifully against sweeter touches of caramel.
That gives this double espresso capsule a surprisingly indulgent feel, backed by a deliciously smooth finish and powerful, homely aromas.
All of which makes it a coffee that’s as versatile as it is strong. The Vertuo Double Espresso Chiaro is best if you love a stronger tasting latte, flat white or cappuccino.
Original Find Your Favourite Selection Packs
If you’re still needing inspiration to find a new favourite, Nespresso’s assortment packs are an ideal option.
The Original Find Your Favourite assortment pack is available in the 6 Sleeve Selection which features 60 capsules, or the 12 Sleeve Selection which features 120 capsules. Within this selection of curated coffee capsules, you’ll have no problem finding your favourite.
The 6 Sleeve Selection offers a mix of popular Nespresso capsules, including Ispirazione Napoli with its bitter cocoa notes and Stockholm Lungo with its malted cereal notes. The set also includes our well-loved Arpeggio blend – giving you a perfect base to start exploring the capsule range.
Meanwhile, the 12 Sleeve Selection features some of our richest and most intense blends, from the long-roasted Napoli to the deep, dark – yet fruity – Ristretto. And if you’re after something lighter, there’s the sweet biscuit flavours of Volluto and the balanced caramel notes of Livanto.
Vertuo Find Your Favourite Selection Packs
The ideal blends for pairing with milk, the Vertuo Find Your Favourites 6 Sleeve Selection pack gives you six of the most popular pods in the Vertuo range and 60 delicious Nespresso coffee capsules to enjoy at your leisure.
That includes the Double Espresso Scuro, loved for its strength, intensity and full-bodied flavour. For real intensity, it’s difficult to go past our Diavolitto capsule, a powerful espresso with highly roasted Robusta and
Arabica beans. Or you can try the strong brown sugar and caramel notes of the mug-sized Intenso.
The Vertuo Find Your Favourites 12 Sleeve Selection pack, featuring 120 Nespresso coffee capsules, is similarly well balanced, with coffees that are complex and strong, and others that are all sweetness and light.
The favourites in this set range from Stormio, a pod that promises a dark-roasted intensity and woody cereal hints, while the Bianco Doppio is a smooth and caramelly light-roast Arabica blend crafted specifically for larger milky coffees. Take your pick.
Booktopia book recommendations to pair with your favourite Nespresso blend
There are few better ways to enjoy your Nespresso coffee than with book in hand.
We’ve partnered with our friends at Booktopia to perfectly match our members’ favourite coffees with five of Australia’s favourite books.
These include the witty, intelligent, much-talked-about Lessons in Chemistry, a debut from Bonnie Garmus and The Bookbinder of Jericho, the follow-up to bestseller The Dictionary of Lost Words, from Australian writer Pip Williams.
Check out the full list for inspiration on what favourite book you’ll choose to read with your new favourite coffee.
