My friend has very generously bought me a Nespresso Machine for lock down. Omg I love it! I usually drink Nero's coffee, but I don't think I can but their pods online at the minute. What works well in a latte?

You can use any strong strength pod. The stronger espresso or lungo ones. I microwave half a cup of low fat milk, then add the coffee to that.

I like the Illy ones personally

The Dharkan pods are my favourite Nespresso pods for a latte (they are a darkish blue). I agree the strongest Illy pods are the nicest.

Arpeggio imo - they are the most popular ones in the UK. They are purple.

The L'Or ones work well too - I find a lot of the plastic compatibles don't actually work very well at all.

You can buy the blonde roast Starbucks coffee pods at Tesco which work well as a latte ☺️

I know Starbucks coffee isn't great but I make an iced caramel latte most days, and I bulk buy the blonde roast Starbucks pods on Amazon. It's £19 for 80 pods, which is a lot cheaper than the supermarkets.

I'm not trying to make a "good" coffee, I'm trying to replicate Starbucks Grin

Nespresso are still managing next day delivery for their capsules. I just upgraded my nespresso machine to a latissima and it's keeping me sane during lockdown! I like Dharkan, Envivo, Indira and Roma for a latte. They also have capsules created for milk recipes. I cant remember what they're called, but you can find them on the app or the website. I prefer the stronger one in the range.

I have two double flat whites every morning.
Husband makes them for me.
It is one of my favourite parts of the day.

My friend recommended the Arpeggio ones. I've got some caramel pods which are nice. Next on the list is Nero's and L'or. I think.

Nespresso do three capsules especially for milky coffee. Chiaro is the least intense, Scuro is in the middle and the Corto is the strongest one.

I like the Corto myself, it's strong enough to give a decent coffee flavour to the milk.

Arpeggio (purple)
Indonesia (turquoisy)
Dharkhan nice too

Candyflosscookie · 29/04/2020 11:06

Arpeggio all the way, it's my fav. Really lovely smooth rounded flavour.

Don't get L'or anything, they are absolute shit.

wowfudge · 29/04/2020 14:49

I disagree about L'Or capsules - one of the better compatibles. We used to have Roma at work at it was too bitter imo. The Corto capsules make a good cortado with a splash of milk.

The L'or capsules are really nice.
