Nespresso Original Decaffeinated Espresso Pods 20-Count (10 Arpeggio + 10 Ristretto) Dark-Roast

Nespresso Original Decaffeinated Variety Pack is a 20-count selection of Arpeggio Decaffeinato and Ristretto Decaffeinato espresso capsules designed for Nespresso Original machines.

This assortment brings two of Nespresso's most popular dark-roast decaf blends together so you can enjoy bold, aromatic espresso without caffeine. Each aluminum capsule delivers a 1.35 oz espresso serving crafted for the Original line of Nespresso machines (not compatible with Vertuo). The pack includes 10 Arpeggio Decaffeinato (intensity 9) and 10 Ristretto Decaffeinato (intensity 10), offering slightly different roast profiles and crema for everyday variety.

What differences will I taste between Arpeggio Decaffeinato and Ristretto Decaffeinato?

Arpeggio Decaffeinato tends to present a rounder, cocoa-forward profile with pronounced roasted notes, while Ristretto Decaffeinato is denser, darker, and more intense with a concentrated crema. Both are decaffeinated but retain the roast character you expect from dark espresso blends.

• Arpeggio Decaffeinato: rich cocoa, full-bodied, intensity 9
• Ristretto Decaffeinato: powerful, concentrated, intensity 10
• Each capsule yields a 1.35 oz espresso with a thick crema
• Pack provides 10 capsules of each blend for balanced sampling

These capsules are engineered for the Nespresso Original system and are simple to use—insert a capsule, press the espresso button, and enjoy a consistent espresso shot. They are not compatible with Vertuo machines, so check your machine type before purchasing.
