What are the two different types of Nespresso machines?
At Nespresso, we offer two unique coffee systems, the Original and Vertuo. The Original range of coffee machines offers a classic espresso experience, using high-pressure extraction and the perfect balance between water temperature, quantity and speed. Despite what you may think, Nespresso coffee machines don’t necessarily need Nespresso coffee pods. While this does not apply to the Nespresso Vertuo machine, the Nespresso Original Line and its alternatives are able to accommodate plenty of different branded pods.There are pods sold by reputable companies that are compatible with Nespresso original machines. A lot of these pods will work flawlessly with your Nespresso machine. Note that not all pods are made of the same material or shape. Some are made of plastic while others are made with aluminum.
