The Ultimate Guide to Nespresso Grands Crus Coffee Capsules
Nespresso Coffee Capsules 2021
There were 16 varieties of the Nespresso coffee cap when it was first released. Eight additional Nespresso coffee varieties have been added to the range, bringing your total choice of options up to 24. Are you unsure which coffees are best for you? This Nespresso coffee guide will help you choose and get to know the new capsules.
Six ranges of Nespresso Grands Crus capsules were created from the 24 Nespresso Grands Crus caps:
Espresso capsules are shorter coffees than most people are used too. They are not usually very strong, but they can be brewed in shorter coffees. Although some are strong, there is still a wide range of intensity between these capsules. These capsules are made from coffees with blended origins. Intenso capsules, which have been previously in the Espresso category, have been split out. They contain the more intense Nespresso coffee flavours and have a deeper flavour. These are often blended with their origins.
Pure Origin capsules are made from beans that have been sourced from one source. These capsules are very particular in their flavour and can be found only in one location.
Lungo capsules were designed to be used in longer drinks that require a higher volume of water. These capsules can bring out complex flavours without compromising on the overall intensity of coffee.
Decaffeinato capsules do exactly what they say on the tin: They contain great coffees from other types, but without the naturally occurring caffeine. This is a great choice for people who are sensitive to caffeine but still love the taste of coffee.
Variation capsules are usually based on the Livanto capsule (Espresso), but contain specific flavours that give your coffee a unique flavour.
