Choosing the best coffee can often be confusing. There is a lot of variety in coffee, which is one of the best things for coffee lovers, so it is always a thoughtful process to pick one coffee. This is especially true when you have a coffee machine. 

Talking about coffee machines, there are a lot of different types of options like coffee pods. Well, there are many different types of coffee pods themselves. Today, we are going to talk about Nespresso pods and different types of them that you might’ve not known existed. 

So, Nespresso had initially launched 16 different types of coffee pods for their coffee machines. We will be discussing these different types of Nespresso pods in this article. Let’s begin. 

What Are The Different Types Of Coffee Pods? 

As mentioned earlier, there are 16 different types of coffee pods. To understand these better, these 16 pods are bifurcated into four categories, Espresso, Pure Origin, Lungo, and Decaffeinato. 

Espresso 

The espressos are nothing but the elite, classic, and subtle delightful taste that all of us enjoy drinking. This category of flavors is the shorter coffee and we can enjoy this flavor in various strengths according to our taste. 

There are further seven different types of Espresso flavors in Nespresso pods. These flavors are nothing but a variety of blends of original fresh coffee. The six different types are as follows: 

1. Ristretto: This type of pods are manufactured from a combination of Arabica coffee beans with a Columbian, East African, and Brazilian origin and a hint of robusta coffee beans for a fruity flavor. 
2. Arpeggio: These pods are manufactured from 100% Arabica coffee beans from Central and South America. 
3. Roma: The flavor for this one comes from South and Central American Arabica coffee beans. It has a hint of robusta that renders a sweet and soothing taste. 
4. Livanto: It is nothing but an utterly pure Arabica that makes its way from South and Central America. It has delightful caramelized notes. 
5. Capriccio: This flavor comes with a strong cereal note. The flavors come from South America and have a hint of robusta. 
6. Volluto: The Volluto flavor also comes from South American Arabicas which are lightly roasted and give a biscuity and fruity flavor. 
7. Cosi: This flavor has a hint of citrus notes. It comes from pure East African, Central, and South American Arabicas that are lightly roasted. 

Pure Origin 

The Pure origin category is also espresso but they are different as they are specifically dedicated to a particular origin and the roots can be traced back. There are three types of pure origin pods and they are:

1. Indriya: As the name suggests, this one comes from South India with a delightful hint of Indian spices. 
2. Rosabaya: This flavor comes from Columbian Arabicas with a fruity and winey hint. 
3. Dulsao: This flavor comes from pure Brazilian coffee beans with red and yellow Bourbon flavors. They also have a hint of honey and malt. 

Lungo 

The name Lungo is so because this coffee is supposed to be long and such that it requires more water than a regular espresso. It is known as tall coffee. The water amount required for this type is, however, not as much as an Americano. Here too there are three types and they are as follows: 

1. Fortissio Lungo: They also come from Central and South America with pure Arabicas and a hint of robusta. 
2. Vivalto Lungo: The vivalto lungo is a coffee manufactured from a combination of Ethiopian Arabica and South American coffee beans. The taste is a little bitter with a hint of Brazilian Cerrado. 
3. Linizio Lungo: It is a pure Arabica from South America. 

Decaffeinato 

Decaffeinato is a special type by Nespresso and it also has three further types and they are as follows: 

1. Decaffeinato: It has an aroma of red fruit. It is a pure blend of South American Arabicas with a hint of robusta. 
2. Decaffeinato Lungo: This one has a roasted cereal and creamy flavor. It is a South American Arabicas slowly roasted. 
3. Decaffeinato Intenso: It is a decaffeinated espresso with a subtle hint of cocoa. This also comes from South American Arabicas with a hint of robusta.
