New to Nespresso. Are these just normal pods I can use for a typical 8oz cup? They were gifted to me.

    They’re Vertuo pods for the Vertuo machine. If you usually use the small thimble shaped pods, which is the O line pods & machine, then NO these will NOT work for your machine.

    Where are you from? I’ve never seen the Elvazio before. Odacio & Stormio are normal size cups of coffee though

    Just a note since I’ve been experimenting with different Vertuo pods and recipes, when you brew it it’ll need more than the stated 230ml because that doesn’t account for the foam (“crema”) on top. So you’ll probably want a mug that holds more like 350-400ml. A regular coffee mug will probably overflow. If you double click the button with these types of pods it’ll made a smaller amount, a double espresso size. So that’s what you’d do if you wanted to turn one these into a Cappuccino for example, double click brew button then add milk foam on top. Just have to experiment a bit.

    You’re also supposed to mix the foam in for an overall smoother cup, kind of fold it in on itself.

  4. Odacio is really nice, as someone says, mild enough to go with syrups and milks but still a nice flavour. Stormio is much stronger, a bit piney/woody. 

    I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen Elvazio though?! It does ring a bell but if anyone knows more about it please share!

    Yes. It’s a mug sized Vertuo pods. I use them with a regular 250ml mug and my old Plus machine produces about 10-15ml of extra crema. Stormio is really good, one of the best options for just black coffee. Elvazio is already disconinued and probably around its best before date, soft and fruity. Odacio, is ok, but too hollow for me.

    What do you been by “normal pods?”

    Stormio is one of my top 3 daily favorites! Really great to drink black in the morning for those busy days ahead. Melozio is my default everyday pod, then between stormio and intenso depending on how that day is looking for me lol. I love drinking them black but also equally great if you like creamer/milk
