Nespresso Original Capsules Dark Roast Variety Pack, 100-Count Espresso Capsules, Bold Intensity

Nespresso Dark Roast Variety Pack delivers 100 Original system espresso capsules in five bold dark-roast blends for rich, concentrated 1.35 oz shots.

This assortment brings together five of Nespresso’s darkest espresso profiles—Ristretto, Ristretto Decaffeinato, Arpeggio, Napoli and Kazaar—offering a range of roasted, chocolatey, and intense flavor experiences in a single 100-count pack. Each aluminum capsule is pre-measured for a 1.35 oz espresso shot and is compatible only with Nespresso Original machines (not Vertuo). The pack balances high intensity and variety so you can switch between bright crema, deep roast notes and decaffeinated options without buying single-origin boxes.

Which blends are included and how do their intensities differ?

This selection contains five dark-roast blends, each chosen for a distinct taste profile and intensity level. The collection spans medium-high to very high intensity so you can pick a capsule by strength or flavor character.

• Ristretto — intensity 10: balanced dark roast with syrupy body and cocoa notes.
• Ristretto Decaffeinato — intensity 10: same dark-roast profile without caffeine.
• Arpeggio — intensity 9: pronounced cocoa and roast presence with a creamy texture.
• Napoli — intensity 13: one of the boldest, dense roast with a smoky, intense finish.
• Kazaar — intensity 12: powerful, peppery, and bitter-sweet, designed for very strong espresso.

How do I use these capsules in my morning routine?

Each aluminum capsule contains a pre-dosed amount of ground coffee optimized for a 1.35 oz espresso extraction. Capsules pierce and brew quickly in Original Nespresso machines, making it simple to prepare a consistent, high-pressure espresso in under a minute.

• Insert capsule into any Nespresso Original system machine.
• Select the espresso button for a 1.35 oz shot.
• Discard or recycle the used aluminum capsule after brewing.

Are these capsules recyclable and sustainably sourced?

Nespresso packages these capsules in aluminum, which preserves freshness and is fully recyclable through Nespresso’s recycling programs. The brand is a certified B Corporation and highlights efforts to meet verified social and environmental standards, including offering solutions for collecting and processing used capsules.

Will these work with my coffee machine and what serving size do they make?

• Compatible with Nespresso Original system machines only (not Vertuo).
• Standard espresso yield: 1.35 oz per capsule.
• Suitable for quick shots or as a base for cappuccinos and lattes.
