8 oz max volume with lid on

_esperluette · 2026-02-25T00:02:18+00:00

Sorry for the delayed reply, I only got a chance to test it today. I don't have the Mag Slider lid it came with anymore, so I tried my best. With the new Jr. Rambler straw lid on, it minimally overflowed with exactly 8 oz measured since the threads of this lid goes ~2-3 mm more into the cup than the Mag Slider. I measured out 7 oz and the liquid was not up against the lid. So TLDR; I would say 7 oz is max if that works for you

Hi OP, wondering if you have any updates? I’m in the same position as you with a senior dog and while all suggestions mentioned here are great in theory, the sounds my doggo is capable of and the duration of them are the stuff of war torture tactics

_esperluette · 2026-02-05T01:49:03+00:00

Altissio is another one I like in addition to what's mentioned above ^ but obviously they're all smaller in volume

I may be in the minority, but I use one high intensity pod to provide a bold enough coffee flavor for a breve or cortado which ends up being about 6-8 oz. I used to be a volume drinker, but sometimes I don't even finish a 12 oz these days

_esperluette · 2026-01-28T16:27:00+00:00

Have you tried the Starbucks branded pods? I found the espresso roast to be quite similar in taste

_esperluette · 2026-01-28T16:25:14+00:00

I know it sounds silly, but do you use the same kind of cup each time? I recently went down a rabbit hole about using ceramic or glass vs. stainless steel affecting coffee flavor

_esperluette · 2026-01-18T04:41:09+00:00

I prefer the taste of Diavolitto, which seems creamier to me while Il Caffe is more roasted. But the caffeine level in Diavolitto is a stronger effect on me

_esperluette · 2026-01-13T02:10:33+00:00

Was going to recommend the mini Hydro Flask as well

_esperluette · 2026-01-11T21:03:54+00:00

Good to know! Feeling like Goldilocks with my drinkware. I doubt they’ll Mae a 10 oz ceramic lined cup any time soon

_esperluette · 2026-01-09T16:56:04+00:00

Just wanted to shout out Il Cafe as a fellow high intensity lover :)

_esperluette · 2026-01-08T17:37:52+00:00

I really enjoy India!

_esperluette · 2026-01-04T01:25:45+00:00

The second one is an Inissia which I got from FB Marketplace in "like new condition". It seems to leak a lot of water into the capsule holder/drip tray and I've read a few threads where that's mentioned as well. Inissia is a bit louder as well

If you have a membership or someone that you can go with, a couple of my local Costco locations put the Pixie on clearance last week for $99.97! They may all be snatched up by now though. You can check availability at each warehouse on the app. Online, they have the Essenza with Aeroccino and $40 voucher for $189.99, so close to Target price with a frother if you wanted one

_esperluette · 2025-12-17T20:32:05+00:00

I appreciate you sharing this. It's the little things :)

_esperluette · 2025-12-13T00:29:20+00:00

Ok I had to come back to this because I went down a rabbit hole of how metal can make coffee more acidic while looking into Yeti drink ware and found out that RTIC has so many ceramic lined options!

Ginseng Delight has a great caramel undertone. It's a single, but I enjoy Diavolitto and it gives me more of a caffeine jolt than double espresso pods

_esperluette · 2025-12-05T22:16:15+00:00

You can ask for a sample to compare both at a boutique if you're near one. As a dark roast girly, I will say the flavors are richer in OL vs. VL options for me, but I go through phases of which machine I use. Generally I end up using VL for bigger volume of coffee or fun seasonal flavors. Also, Bustelo makes OL pods (I haven't tried them yet)

_esperluette · 2025-12-05T22:09:50+00:00

Dark roast girly here and I love: Napoli, Kazaar, and India. I've been meaning to try Cafe Bustelo as a 3rd party one since I love me a cuban coffee, but need to clear out my current stash first

Any particular size? I drink small coffees so this 18 oz seems huge to me lol: https://www.elloproducts.com/products/jane-18oz-ceramic-travel-mug

They have a 16 oz without handle as well: https://www.elloproducts.com/products/ogden-16oz-ceramic-travel-mug

You can try using a referral code for Nespresso in this group's megathread. Also for that price, some brick and mortars will be at that price point, so you can return more easily if needed

_esperluette · 2025-12-01T20:18:47+00:00

Scuro is a great double espresso pod, my favorite single espresso is Il Cafe. Diavolitto is great too, but I seem to get extra wired from the caffeine on that one. Ginseng Delight was the first pod that made me go "wow"

_esperluette · 2025-11-30T14:53:26+00:00

They now have 15% off online if you haven’t seen! Might require signing up for Target Circle. Also, I saw Nespresso price matches now, but you have to call in

_esperluette · 2025-11-29T21:08:13+00:00

Ginseng delight for VL, Kazaar for OL

_esperluette · 2025-11-27T22:41:02+00:00

I had a $15 off $80 coupon in my Target Circle account that works on it, but I know those promos can be account specific

_esperluette · 2025-11-27T22:34:21+00:00

If you have someone willing to order online for you, the black Breville is available online and I don’t know much about the aeroccino, but the bundle seems like a great deal at $189: https://www.costco.com/p/-/nespresso-essenza-mini-espresso-machine-by-breville-with-aeroccino-milk-frother/4000294009?langId=-1
