Café Joyeux

Same name as the Vertuo version, different coffee: this Original pod is Ugandan, with cereal, biscuity and nutty notes. Medium roast at intensity 5, so it sits on the soft end of the scale.

Pick it if you brew with Nespresso Original; cereal, biscuity and nutty sound good to you.

Best for Nespresso Original owners who want a soft, nutty cup

Café Joyeux

El Salvador coffee in a Vertuo mug size, medium roast, intensity 5. One note: caramel. Read that as a gentle, sweet morning mug rather than a bold one. If you like your coffee to whisper, not shout, it fits.

Pick it if you brew with Vertuo; caramel sounds good to you.

Best for Vertuo owners who want a mild caramel mug
