Pumpkin Spice Cake
Pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon and cardamom: the listing leaves no doubt what season this is for. It's a flavored, medium-roast Original pod, and it's seasonal, so it comes and goes. Expect dessert in a mug.
Pick it if you brew with Nespresso Original; cloves sounds good to you.
Best for Original owners who want a pumpkin and cinnamon flavored coffee

The Vertuo take on pumpkin spice brews in the espresso size. Notes run pumpkin, cinnamon, cardamom and spicy, and Nespresso adds milky to the list, which hints it's meant to meet some milk. Flavored and seasonal, so grab it while it's around.
Pick it if you brew with Vertuo; milky sounds good to you.
