Vivida
Brazilian coffee, light roast, mug size. The notes read biscuity, cereal and honeyed sweetness, at intensity 6. That sounds like an easy, sweet daily mug for Vertuo, without much bitterness on the label.
Pick it if cereal and honeyed sweetness sound good to you.
Best for Vertuo owners wanting a sweet, easy everyday mug
See Vivida →Bold Blend
A Vertuo mug-size pod with caramel, biscuity and malt notes, and the listing marks it as flavored with caramel and biscuit. Intensity 5 on Nespresso's scale and a light roast, so it's milder than the name might suggest. Ten pods per pack.
Pick it if caramel and malt sound good to you.
Best for Vertuo owners who want a sweet, gentle mug
