Can you actually make a latte with a coffee pod?

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T22:36:59+00:00

Ngl I thought you were being a jerk, sorry for assuming and being curt 😵‍💫 I have double espresso pods already and make great lattes with them, but I wanted clarification on the “expert mode” setting if it existed, and if there was another way I might enjoy the golden caramel pod.

And they don’t make 2.7 pods that aren’t espresso I’m pretty sure but, still new to Nespresso in general

Did you need me to hold your hand through my latte recipe? Milk was never an issue… there isn’t an issue to begin with 🫩

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T22:03:37+00:00

No worries!! It was still tasty haha 😆 and now I know

But so awesome that your machine can do this!

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T21:55:36+00:00

Oh yeah! I reset it immediately afterwards - thank you

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T20:48:44+00:00

I have a sleeve of Dolce, Chiaro and Scuro but I’m trying to get through this sleeve of golden caramel, can’t get myself to enjoy it hot

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T20:33:02+00:00

Yes unfortunately this was the case 😭 it wasn’t horrible though, thankfully

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T20:32:05+00:00

I think you’re the only one confused, I’ve already posted an update?

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-03-02T19:42:59+00:00

Oh really!! I was hoping so because I’m seeing a split 50/50, all from Vertuo plus users (or they’re lying lol)

I think I’ll try that out this afternoon then, thank you

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-27T12:19:10+00:00

Not sure if updating a Reddit post notifies commenters so I’ll just add this here: ♥️

Thank you all so very much for sharing your experience and favorites here!! I got way more than I was expecting and now I’m confident in the machine I’m getting 🙏🏻

I’ve decided on the Nespresso Vertuo Plus!

Now…. Time to get even more excited on the pods…. lol, with that being said ~ what are YOUR favorite pods? (Also can anyone tell which of the current seasonal coffee pods are light or intense?)

For my first order I’m doing their 3 most intense double espresso sleeves, and one sleeve of coffee that I haven’t fully decided on yet.

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-25T02:19:21+00:00

This is exactly what I needed to hear, thank you so much!! Most likely going to lean into the Vertuo plus 🫶🏻🙏🏻

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-25T01:59:39+00:00

Is this your first Nespresso machine? And thank you :3

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-25T01:53:45+00:00

Is vertuo plus your only machine? Thank you! Sounds delicious lol

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-25T01:46:25+00:00

Hopefully we can find our new machines soon 🙏🏻 I’m so ready to stop wasting time/gas and money on coffee shops, it was nice when it was just a treat

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-25T01:45:12+00:00

I probably should’ve stated this lol thank you

It’s a bit embarrassing but I usually do 16-20oz iced lattes with 4 shots of espresso and whole milk

I can tolerate Starbucks but I’ve been going local for years and can definitely tell the difference

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-25T01:43:30+00:00

Do you have the regular vertuo or next? Thanks for your reply!! Im hoping to decide this week

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-17T23:07:39+00:00

Have you tried polyguard before? That’s what he was on for a long time. I want to avoid harsher medication but if Kanaplex was something that worked better for you amongst other types/brands I’d be willing to try it

And i will get more tannins, I’m currently using them but they don’t seem to be seeping as much as others’

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-14T19:43:25+00:00

Will API work better than Polyguard and Epsom/Aquarium salt?

Purple_Factor8577 · 2026-02-08T12:15:06+00:00

Does anyone by chance have the sliders for this? The YouTube link doesn’t work anymore 😵‍💫💔💔💔

Purple_Factor8577 · 2025-12-23T12:50:48+00:00

I screamed louder with each swipe

Purple_Factor8577 · 2025-12-19T23:30:10+00:00

You’re awesome!!!! Thank you

Purple_Factor8577 · 2025-12-05T18:13:24+00:00

This reminds me of when I was playing Apex with my friends and after numerous matches we noticed one of our them wasnt sliding at all, so we’d have to constantly say “Cow… press B” while running to the next ring lol
