Nespresso Vertuoline Third Party Capsules - The Sweetest Nespresso Vertuo Pods

Nespresso Vertuoline Third Party Capsules – The Sweetest Nespresso Vertuo Pods

In this article we talk about Nespresso Vertuoline third party capsules. Currently, there are no  third party manufacturers or makers of vertuoline capsules by other companies.

Their Vertuoline is protected by patent laws and cannot be copied or made by other manufacturers.

This means that only Nespresso can make capsules for a Vertuoline.

That got us thinking about a question we were asked by a regular reader – The Sweetest Nespresso Vertuo Pods. 

To be clear on that matter, sugar or artificial sweeteners are not added to the capsules but sugar is in the coffee naturally. How sweet they taste will depend of the beans and the roast level.

Sweetest Nespresso Vertuo Pods Our Top 5 Picks!

To be clear, there are no Nespresso Vertuo pod that contain sugar. Sugar is something that you can add by choice. Coffee, however, has a certain sugar content which is released by the roasting process.

The following Nespresso Vertuo Pods are what I found to be the sweetest tasting without adding sugar or any artificial sweetener.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nespresso Vertuoline Third Party Capsules

Can You Use Third-Party Pods In Nespresso Vertuo?

The VertuoLine is a proprietary design and is protected by laws regarding patents. This means that, unlike Nespresso Pods, third party manufacturers are not legally permitted to design similar style of pods, meaning it is (currently) not possible for third-party pods to be used in a Nespresso VertuoLine machine. This, of course, may change in the future if Nespresso permits or issues a licence to do so.

Can Nespresso Vertuo Use Other Pods?

No, Vertuo pods are of a completely different size and shape from other coffee pods, like K-Cups and Nespresso Original pods. Unfortunately, the coffee pods are not interchangeable. It is very unfortunate that Nespresso Pods will not fit in a Nespresso Vertuo machine and vice verse.

Do Starbucks Pods Work In Nespresso Vertuo

Starbucks by Nespresso are developed with Nespresso to work perfectly in their Vertuo System. The pods are of the quality and standard that you would expect from Starbucks and are fully recyclable.

Can You Use Regular Nespresso Pods In VertuoLine?

No, you cannot use regular or original Nespresso Pods in Nespresso Vertuoline machines. The shapes and sizes of the pods are completely different. Nespresso Vertuoline machines are rounded and have barcode on them that tells the coffee machine how to brew that exact pod.

Final Thoughts, Frappé-ing It All Up – Nespresso Vertuoline Third Party Capsules.

Unfortunately, there are no Third Party vertuoline capsules available just now – this seems to be, in my opinion and weakness by Nespresso where you must buy the capsules from them. Keurig K Cups are much better in this aspect where they allow any company to make their own coffee pods.

Personally, I find it a little odd as the Nespresso Originaline has many great third party coffee pods.

Come on Nespresso – get with it!

Coffee is love, it's more than love — it's a passion of mine. I've had the luck to have travelled and enjoyed the most exotic of coffee's and unique flavors, brewing methods and techniques of making the perfect coffee from Thai hill tribe coffee to Indonesian volcanic coffee, Malaysian coffee that comes in a tea bag and the array of flavors in Vietnam, from Vanilla to Orange to Coconut to Avocado to even salt coffee and the famous egg coffee. The best part of my coffee adventures is getting to mix with the locals over a nice brew and learning how they make it! I'm cited and referenced on Google Scholar for the topic of coffee.
