The Best Nespresso Pods for This Iced Coffee

I personally prefer pods with a strong and intense flavor, so they can hold up to the addition of milk and sweeteners. Cold drinks also make our taste buds less receptive to bitterness, so coffee flavors that might normally be too strong as a hot coffee.

Here are my 3 picks for making this Easy Iced Nespresso Coffee Recipe.

• Nespresso Original: Arpeggio – This pod has a strong and intense flavor with notes of cocoa. It is great for making iced coffee because it holds up well to the addition of milk and sweeteners. A sleeve of 10 capsules costs $7.70 on the Nespresso website. Buy Arpeggio on Nespresso
  
• Nespresso Vertuo: Voltesso – This pod has a smooth and sweet flavor with notes of caramel. It is a great choice for making iced coffee because it has a lower intensity and is well-balanced. A sleeve of 10 capsules costs $9.00 on the Nespresso website. Buy Voltesso on Nespresso
  
• Gourmesso: Nicaragua Mezzo – This pod has a medium intensity with a smooth and nutty flavor. It is a great choice for making iced coffee because it is affordable and holds up well to the addition of milk and sweeteners. A box of 10 capsules costs $4.99 on the Gourmesso website.
