A capsule machine is a promise about mornings: press the button, get the coffee, leave the house. The trade off has always been choice. You get whatever the manufacturer decided to sell you this season.
These are the same dessert flavours we build into our flavored coffee beans, packed into capsules that fit Nespresso Original machines. Seven flavours, AED 29 for a sleeve of ten, no grinder and no morning decisions.
The seven flavours
| Flavour | Intensity | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel | 6 | Creamy caramel with a light fruity acidity underneath. Strong roast. The one to buy first. |
| Vanilla | 6 | Balanced and rounded, with vanilla as the leading note. Exceptional as a latte. |
| Amaretto | 6 | Balanced, with almond, apricot and vanilla notes. |
| Choco-Cherry | 6 | Dark chocolate against cherry. Strong roast, and the most dessert-like of the set. |
| Date Dulce de Leche | 6 | Milk caramel with date sweetness. A flavour that reads as local. |
| Irish Cream | 5 | The gentlest of the range at intensity 5, on a dark roast base. |
| Macadamian Nut | 6 | Buttery, rounded nut character. Strong roast. |
Every flavour is AED 29 for a set of 10 capsules, built on 100% Arabica with food-grade aroma. Buy two or three sleeves and let the household argue about which one runs out first.
What is inside a capsule
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dose | 5 g of freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee per capsule |
| Coffee | 100% Arabica |
| Roast | Strong on most flavours, dark on Irish Cream |

| Pack size | 10 capsules |
| Price | AED 29 per pack, which works out at AED 2.90 a cup |
| Shelf life | 18 months |
The coffee base is the same as our beans sold by weight. Caramel capsules use the same Caramel bean you can buy loose. The cup tastes different because of the darker roast, the specific grind and the pressure of capsule extraction, which is a useful thing to know if you drink one at home and the other at the office.
Will these fit my machine?
This is the question that matters most, so here is the direct answer.
- Yes: all Nespresso Original Line machines. That includes machines built by DeLonghi, Krups, KitchenAid and Bork, which partner with Nespresso and produce Original system machines in their own designs.
- No: Nespresso Vertuo machines. Vertuo uses a completely different, larger capsule with a barcode on the rim, and Original capsules do not fit it. This is a hardware difference, not a brand restriction.
If you are unsure which system you own, look at your used capsules. Original capsules are small domes roughly the size of a bottle cap. Vertuo capsules are noticeably larger and have a printed barcode around the edge. Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will tell you before you spend anything.
What to make with them
Recommended volumes for our capsules:
- Espresso: 40 ml. The clearest expression of the flavour.
- Lungo: 110 ml. Longer and lighter, with the aroma more spread out.
- Cappuccino or latte: pull 40 ml as espresso, then add frothed milk to taste. Vanilla and Date Dulce de Leche are outstanding this way.
For iced coffee, pull an espresso directly over ice and top with cold milk. Caramel and Choco-Cherry hold up well against dilution, which matters between June and September.
Capsules or beans?
| Flavoured capsules | Flavoured beans | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Speed, offices, guests, no cleanup | Control, larger volumes, better value per cup |
| Equipment | Nespresso Original machine | Grinder, or order ground to your method |
| Entry price | AED 29 for 10 cups | From AED 17 for 50 g |
| Flavour range | 7 flavours | Dozens, with new arrivals through the year |
| Sizes | 10 capsule sleeve | 50 g, 100 g, 250 g and 1 kg on most lines |
Most households end up with both. If you want the unflavoured equivalent, see our coffee capsules for Nespresso, and for the instant format there is flavored instant coffee. Everything sits together on the flavored coffee hub.
Storage
Capsules are sealed, so they are far more forgiving than loose beans. Keep them cool, dry and out of direct sun, and use within the 18 month shelf life. A storage box or capsule holder keeps the counter tidy, and the rest of our coffee accessories range covers cups and milk frothers.
Delivery in Dubai and the UAE
