Nespresso Original Line Capsules | Original Line Favorite Pods

[@tiffp323]

Girl I don’t even have an OL machine but still watching bc your vibe is so chill and I just love your explanations! I got my welcome gift yesterday after placing a large order and they gave me a sleeve of La Cumplida Refinada and I automatically thought of you. I know how much you liked that one. Still playing around w it to c how I like it 😊

[@_Alexmojica]

So sweet! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy that pod as much as I do

[@nannyboo9832]

omg thank you for making this lol, it's so hard to find good videos for OL capsules!

[@_Alexmojica]

You’re welcome! More to come as well!

[@deborahr.7696]

Agreed! Most videos are on the Venturi machines.

[@sufletmare66]

Yes, it's true: long coffees have more caffeine than Espresso and even more than Ristretto. Here in Italy a lot of people order a Ristretto thinking that's it's stronger, but it's a mistake. The coffee with the most amount of caffeine is the filtered one 😊 (credits: Illy Coffee University)

[@_Alexmojica]

Thanks!

[@ladycavie94]

Love every video Alex! You are my authority on Nespresso! Really thinking about of I should've grabbed the original line instead of the vertuo since I'm always favoring lattes and have yet to find a coffee pod I truly love!

[@_Alexmojica]

I think you would most definitely enjoy it! The mini essenza is a solid machine for that

[@Runitsadri514]

So excited! The video I have been waiting for! I need to learn more about the varieties from the original line, and there are definitely not enough videos on KZbin for it! So stoked for this review! Because I just purchased the coconut original pods, Freddo Intenso, freddo delicate, scuro, chiaro, and I’m so excited since you named a few that I got! I’m so excited about freddo Intenso cause I love iced Leggero but don’t always want a double!

[@_Alexmojica]

Awww yay! So glad this helped and I hope you like your picks!

[@sarahparra9659]

Cereal notes for coffee just mean it brings out the smells of bread or breakfast cereals or even smells of fruits such as walnuts hazelnut or almonds even cherry notes. The cereal note coffees and espressos are my favorite ones I’ve tried

[@_Alexmojica]

Agreed! They are so yummy

[@sarahhilliard8132]

I've tried la cumplida refinada as a lungo from the OL and I really enjoy it! It's definitely not watered down, and I don't even need syrup with it. I just made it hot with the extra creamy oat milk.

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ll have to try it that way! Thanks ☺️

[@tingonzales9478]

I really enjoy watching your videos! And thank you for videos about orig line. Purchased my machine few months back and your videos helped me a lot in making yummy drinks. Looking forward for more awesome vids!! :)

OMG, you are my Nespresso go-to GIRLLLLL!!! I'm new to the Nespresso neighborhood and always find your videos sooo helpful. I have the Essenzi mini in black and Aeroccino 3. I'm always wondering which capsules to buy. I'm trying all the flavors that I "might" like, then I will just order the ones I love. You always give such useful information. My lattes can be described as coffee-flavored milk, I use half& half instead of milk, I think that's called a breve? But I like iced lattes too. I was getting them at Dunkin, but it was breaking me, 2 and 3 times a week, I tell you. Now they are wondering what happened to me 😆. I have a Keurig and drip coffee maker, but they just weren't cutting it for me. Now I happily brew my lattes at home and am loving it. Thanks for all you do. Happy sipping!☕🥰

[@bernadethanga-angan9790]

Hi. I think we have the same taste with coffees. What capsules do you use? I just got my essenza mini today....

[@mhalover6591]

For the ristretto you hold down the button and stop it early, the thing with that is that it programs the machine to do all espressos as ristrettos but it’s easy to reset it. A ristretto has 25 ml

[@_Alexmojica]

Thanks! I might skip that option as I’m not really into ristretto 😋

Literally bought an essenza mini because of you lol! I am so excited to try these! I have a vertuo plus but for sure lean more towards double espressos so I think this will get used by me for sure. (Me trying to justify my purchase!😂)

[@_Alexmojica]

Haha what a fun purchase!

[@rainedeartasi]

I just bought a machine from the Original line (my Vertuo is being repaired) and I was wondering if I could brew either the lungo or espresso with any of the capsules and you just answered my question. I enjoy all your coffee videos, my coffee drinks never look as appetizing as yours. Thank you!

Does the original line produce crema like in the vertuo ? I’m going to buy a machine but I don’t like I can’t use my own grounds or more 3rd party options that’s why I’m considering the original line.

[@_Alexmojica]

It does, and whatever coffee nespresso has is superior than keurig even if third parties don’t make them yet. Pretty soon they will because the patent vertuo has will be expiring next year

[@gailoakley4010]

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

lol I did too, But I think I'm gonna take the Vertuo back. I love the strength and flavor of the OL a lot more. I "thought" the Vertuo would be more versatile, but I always use the Pixie and the pods are cheaper. But, I don't make the lattes or lots of milk based drinks either

I have a sample of Buenos Aires. I don’t have pistachio syrup. What do you think about hazelnut?

I love having both machines 😋

[@sydneysmith2458]

Do you have any favorites for the OL that aren’t nespresso brand?

[@eleanormassaro5195]

My favorite non-Nespresso Original line capsules are Cafe Bustelo! Delicious as a latte! In my town I can usually get a packet of 10 capsules for 5.99 at target. My local Publix sells them also but they’re a little bit more money, at 7.49 per 10-count box

[@umairbaig331]

Nice review. I do have an essenza mini and I am loving my lattes from this small machine. Now I think the caffeine levels should depend on the coffee pods (size or type) and not on if you make a espresso vs ristretto vs lungo from the same pod. Since the coffee content is the same inside the pod, so its just that one will be more diluted than the other (volume will wary due to the water content) whether you brew a lungo or an espresso. I am no coffee snob or connoisseur but just trying to use logic here.. Correct me if I am wrong!!

[@_Alexmojica]

I think there’s more caffeine in espresso since your drinking more maybe?

[@umairbaig331]

@@_Alexmojica Well yes if you drink more of espresso or lungo, you will be getting higher caffeine in that case. What I was trying to say is that the original pod for nespresso has a fixed amount of caffeine regardless if you make a lungo or an espresso from that one single pod. Do you have any video for best creamers to use for lattes etc.

[@_Alexmojica]

I get what your saying but my mind just can’t help but think that the same pod can have different amounts of caffeine depending on how you brew it but I might be wrong lol 😆

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ll have to do a video on creamers and milks soon

[@andreabarbosa8535]

So if you do 1 shot of espresso instead of two, do you still put 1/2 cup of milk??

[@_Alexmojica]

I rarely do one shot but with one shot I would do a bit less but more than 1/4 cup. Or start at a quarter cup and see how you like that

[@eleanormassaro5195]

@@_Alexmojica exactly, but since I always do two shots I have to put more milk in there. I was coming from a Tassimo machine before I bought my Nespresso machine so I had to do some experimenting to get the coffee to taste the way I like it! If you put too much milk when using one capsule, it comes out somewhat weak. I put 2 ounces of evaporated milk and then fill up to the 2/3 mark with 2% milk when I make my latte, and then use two shots or two capsules of espresso shots

[@Fanfreddy111]

For lungo, it there any different if choose espresso X2 instead of lungo ?

[@_Alexmojica]

I have no idea

X2 espresso will give you 3oz of coffee .. lungo will give you 3.7oz

Usually iced lattes are best with espresso shots. The smaller cup button, you would just have to brew two capsules

Would like to clarify this: do you mean that 1 cap Scuro = 2 caps Chiaro as you mentioned that Scuro is a double expresso of Chiaro.
