You’ll end up wasting a lot of the grounds, you’ll need to vacuum, and there seems to be a trade-off between how reusable the pod is and how good the coffee tastes (though others have had different results). The problem is that filling these little bastards is something easier said than done because they’re so small and fiddly. All you need is your reusable pod and the ground coffee of your choice. If you’re concerned about the environment, reusable pods reduce waste and still allow you to be relatively lazy about your coffee making. So that’s something to keep in mind when you’re choosing new pods. Most of the third-party pods use plastic, which is super bad instead of the usual amount of bad.
The brand also uses infinitely recyclable aluminium. Coffee pods as a general rule are too small for traditional recycling, which is why Nespresso operates its own recycling system through its stores and a network of florists. The big downside of the compatible pods is that the vast majority aren’t recyclable. But these days there are some newcomers that look pretty promising, like St Ali. I’ve tried the Woolworths brand, the ones from Aldi, Starbucks, the Coles brand, Podista, and a few others over the years, and they tasted pretty bad. If you want to hang onto your machine, you can always move into ‘Nespresso compatible’ pods, which you can find pretty much everywhere. A different brand of Nespresso compatible pods The only problem is that if you want the same size coffee, you’re going to need to use two capsules of the espresso and then one empty espresso shot of water, which takes your morning coffee from costing 85c to $1.56, which adds up over a year.īy the way, don’t forget you can save on your next grocery shop with one of our Coles promo codes. But I prefer the Inspirazione Firenze Arpeggio Decaffeinato (despite its stupid name) because it’s a bit stabbier (though, the technical description is “dark yet short decaf Arabica coffee with cocoa notes”). The closest to the flavour of the Vivalto is technically the Volluto Decaffeinato, because they’re both at an intensity level of 4. You won’t get as much coffee out of them, but they’re pretty good. If you’ve already got the Nespresso machine, you may as well try the espresso flavours. Now that the one decaf lungo is being removed from the range to make room for five caffeinated lungos, here are some alternatives you can try for your decaf fix: Nespresso espresso A Nespresso Volluto Decaf pod In the Original line of capsules, Nespresso has only ever had a maximum of four decaf flavours at a time: three espresso (40ml) and one lungo (110ml). This drove a lot of people to the Nespresso ecosystem years ago, back when they were the only real option if you wanted coffee that was decaffeinated using a variant of the Swiss Water Process instead of a chemical process. Despite being the only people who drink coffee for the flavour without any secondary motive of being more awake (which actually makes us the only true coffee lovers), decaf drinkers are still largely mocked and ignored by the wider coffee-drinking community. Whether you only drink decaf, or you like to switch to decaf after midday so you can sleep, you’ve probably noticed that it can be hard to find good decaf coffee that doesn’t taste like lighter fluid.
