Does Nespresso Make Regular Coffee? Let’s Disclose The Mystery!

For Regular coffee hustlers looking for a full coffee mug rather than a shot, Nespresso Vertuoline is here to give you that cup of coffee.

Nespresso Vertuoline features its centrifugation technology to extract any type of coffee, whereas Nespresso Original has a high-pressure functionality to make espressos only.

What’s a regular coffee? A regular drip coffee brewed with hot water and milk with ground coffee beans, including Arabica beans. Arabica is mostly used in making regular coffees as it has a light or medium roast with a sweet flavor and less caffeine.

Difference Between Nespresso OriginalLine & VertuoLine: 

The original line consists of cup-shaped Nespresso capsules brewed with high pressure to extract the espresso flavor and taste. You can buy Original pods through Nespresso or any third-party brands.

Vertuo line offers dome-shaped Nespresso capsules brewing with a Centrifugation technique to give a rich layer of crema. Its unique feature includes a barcode automatically setting the coffee with the required coffee intensity, water or milk added, and temperature.

Use Your Own Coffee with Nespresso Machine VertuoLine: 

You can use your coffee in the Nespresso Vertuoline. However, Nespresso recommends using their Vertuoline capsules for the best results.

There lies a plus point: you are saving money rather than buying expensive pods and customizing your eco-friendly reusable capsules filled with your favorite coffee roasters, but keep in mind the quality is in your hand.

There are some things to consider while brewing your coffee in Vertuoline reusable pods:

1. The process is time-consuming as you are going for a harder option than using Vertuo capsules that take less than 60 seconds to prepare your espresso.
2. Nespresso doesn’t offer reusable capsules, so buying them from a third party might compromise the coffee quality or may not be able to fit in because Vertuoline has its customized pods.
3. The taste can worsen or dilute due to weakly extracted coffee beans.

Which Machines Make Regular coffee?

You can brew your drip-over or pour-over Nespresso coffee in Vertuo machines. Here are some of the best pods you can use for a regular light-roasted Arabica coffee. 

Bianco Doppio is a light roast milky coffee that originated from the Arabica blend to give a creamy profile with biscuity, caramel, and fruity notes. Using this pod, you can make a long milky coffee of 80ml as a double espresso. If that’s what your taste sounds like, buy it from Nespresso.

Vanilla Custard Pie offers a medium-intense mug of 7.077 oz, originating from Brazilian Arabicas, to give a velvet coffee with almond and biscuit notes. If that’s your flavor, you can buy it from Nespresso or Amazon.
