Description
Nespresso Capsules Vertuo, Variety Pack, Medium and Dark Roast Coffee, 30 Count Coffee Pods, Brews 7.8 oz
I’m excited to share this Nespresso Vertuo variety pack that I think makes morning routines and coffee breaks noticeably better. I chose a balanced mix of three bestselling VertuoLine blends—Stormio, Odacio, and Melozio—so I can enjoy a range from bold and intense to smooth and mellow without changing machines or fussing with grind settings. Each pod delivers a generous 7.8 oz cup, which I find ideal for sipping slowly at home, at my desk, or when I want a long, hot coffee that still has crema and complexity.
What’s in the pack and why I like it
I appreciate that this assortment contains 30 aluminum capsules: 10 Stormio (Intensity 8), 10 Odacio (Intensity 7), and 10 Melozio (Intensity 6). The selection gives me a clear progression from darker, more robust profiles to rounder, creamier medium roasts. Because each blend is crafted for the VertuoLine’s centrifusion extraction, I get a consistently full-bodied cup with a rich crema on top.
- Stormio (Intensity 8) — Darker roast, strong aromatic impression, a bold choice when I want a powerful cup.
- Odacio (Intensity 7) — Brisk and lively, with bright notes that cut through milk or stand well on their own.
- Melozio (Intensity 6) — Smooth and balanced, great for relaxed mornings or when I want something gentle but flavorful.
Features that matter to me
I selected this pack for a few practical reasons:
- 30 pods give me variety while keeping my kitchen organized.
- The 7.8 oz brew size is perfect for a standard mug and gives the extended drinking experience I prefer.
- Aluminum capsules lock in freshness and are compatible with Nespresso’s recycling options, which is important to me as I try to manage waste responsibly.
- These pods are made for VertuoLine machines only; they are not compatible with OriginalLine machines. I always check compatibility before buying, and I mention it because I want you to be certain this will fit your machine too.
How I brew the perfect cup
Brewing with VertuoLine is straightforward. This is how I do it:
- Preheat my VertuoLine machine and make sure the water tank is filled.
- Insert a capsule into the brew head; the machine reads the capsule barcode and sets the correct parameters.
- Place a mug under the spout and let the machine prepare a 7.8 oz cup.
- I wait for the extraction to finish—there’s always a golden crema layer on top—and then I enjoy it black or add milk or a sweetener as I like.
I also like pouring these coffees over ice for a refreshing chilled version: I brew directly over ice or pour brewed coffee over a glass filled with ice for a light iced coffee.
Sustainability and recycling
I care about reducing waste, and I appreciate that these capsules are made of aluminum and fully recyclable. Nespresso has several recycling programs and drop-off options, and I make sure to rinse my used capsules before recycling to help maintain hygiene and quality in the recycling stream. If you’re interested in participating, check your local drop-off locations, municipal recycling rules, or Nespresso’s collection services.
Compatibility & important notes
- For VertuoLine machines only: these pods are engineered for the Vertuo extraction system and encode brewing parameters on each capsule’s barcode.
- Not compatible with OriginalLine machines: don’t use them with OriginalLine machines, as the capsule formats and brewing technologies differ.
- Brew size: designed to deliver 7.8 oz per pod for a longer cup experience.

My suggestions for pairing and tasting
I enjoy trying small variations to notice subtle flavor differences:
- Stormio pairs well with a rich breakfast or a chocolate pastry—its boldness stands up to strong flavors.
- Odacio is crisp and pairs nicely with yogurt, fruit, or an egg-based dish where I want a bit of brightness in the cup.
- Melozio is smooth enough to pair well with a light toast or a buttery scone; it’s my go-to for a relaxing mid-afternoon break.
If I’m serving guests, I often present one capsule type at a time so they can compare intensity levels and choose what fits their palate.
Care, storage, and shelf life
To keep capsules fresh, I keep them in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and direct sunlight. I don’t freeze them, and I store the box sealed until I’m ready to use each capsule. Since the capsules are sealed in aluminum, they retain the coffee’s aroma and freshness for a long time when stored properly.
Frequently asked questions (from my perspective)
- How many ounces does each pod brew? I get a 7.8 oz cup from each Vertuo pod in this pack.
- Are these pods recyclable? Yes—aluminum capsules are fully recyclable, and I use local drop-off points or Nespresso’s collection options.
- Will these work in my Nespresso machine? Only if you have a VertuoLine machine. These will not work with OriginalLine machines.
- Can I drink these with milk? Absolutely. Odacio and Melozio are particularly nice with milk, and Stormio holds up well if you prefer a stronger milk-based coffee.
