• Does Nespresso offer organic coffee?

  Yes, Nespresso offers organic coffee. The Master Origin Peru Organic is Nespresso's first certified organic coffee, which is part of the Master Origins range for both Original and Vertuo systems.

  This coffee is known for its smooth toasted cereal and fruit notes, and it's sourced from the remote Andean slopes in the Northeast of Peru, where farmers have honed their craft to grow the finest organic Arabica coffee beans.

• Why did you change the Vertuo packaging size and remove the cardboard insert?

  We changed the sleeve packaging because we wanted to reduce the amount of cardboard we use. By removing the insert that held the Vertuo capsules, we had to reduce the size of the sleeve so that the capsules would be properly supported. We also wanted to reduce our environmental footprint and take up less storage space on consumers’ shelves.

  The packaging change have no effect on how the coffee is supported in the sleeve or on its quality.

• Do you offer speech to text or text to speech support for deaf or hard-of-hearing customers?

  While we don't have a dedicated phone line for deaf, deafened, hard-of- hearing, or Club members with speech disabilities, the Nespresso Club can be reached through Bell TTY Relay Service by following those steps:

  1. Dial 1-800-855-0511. The Bell Relay operator will answer saying Bell Canada Relay service, (operator's name) speaking, followed by GA (for go ahead).
     
     
  2. Provide the Bell Relay operator the area code and number you would like to call (1-855-325-5781). Although you are not required to give the agent your name or the name of the person you are trying to reach, doing so helps the agent connect to the person you are calling.
     
     
  3. The Bell Relay operator will dial the number and keep you informed, as you will not be able to hear the line ring. After a brief pause, the operator may tell you: "I'm just explaining the Bell Canada Relay service, please hold."
     
     
  4. The Bell Relay operator will let you know as soon as someone answers the call, i.e. "John is on the line, GA" (if you provided a name), and read what is typed, followed by “go ahead,” which is your cue to begin speaking. Always finish by saying “go ahead” so TTY users know it is their turn to respond.

• Do your coffee capsules contain allergens?

  Nespresso’s coffee capsules do not contain gluten nor any other allergens. Any references to “nutty” or “cocoa” notes are components of the aromatic profile (naturally occurring in the coffee bean) and do not suggest their physical presence in the coffee capsule.

  Barista Creations (Flavoured Coffees)

  For our Barista Creations coffees, flavours come in the form of a very fine powder, and they are added to the coffee after grinding. These natural substances have a natural origin like plants or flowers, with at least part of the natural substance originating from a base component of the characterized flavour.  The exception is for nut-based flavours where the natural substance does not originate from nuts. None of these flavours contain food allergens or traces of nuts.

• What is Nespresso’s decaffeination process?

  At Nespresso, we are dedicated to ensuring the quality of our coffee while also being mindful of our environmental impact. To decaffeinate our coffee, we employ two processes that maintain the coffee's natural quality:

  1. Water Decaffeination Method: This method uses water to gently remove caffeine from the coffee beans.
  2. Carbon Dioxide Method: In this process, green coffee beans are soaked in water, and then carbon dioxide is used to extract the caffeine.

  Both methods are safe and environmentally friendly, preserving the coffee bean's true nature and allowing us to offer a variety of rich aromas to our Club members. Nespresso's decaffeinated coffees are made from the same high-quality green coffee beans as our other products and undergo the same rigorous quality controls.

• Do Nespresso capsules have an expiration date?

  Each sleeve displays 2 dates: the production date, and the best before date. The latter date is approximately 6-15 months from the date of production, depending on the coffee. Rest assured that it is completely safe to consume after the best before date. The date simply acts as an indicator of optimal freshness, flavour and aroma.

  Furthermore, Nespresso capsules are hermetically sealed to protect the coffee from light, oxygen and moisture. Because of this, we recommend that our members place larger orders, less frequently so they can save on shipping over time.

  You do not need to keep your capsules in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

• What is the caffeine content of Nespresso capsules?

  The caffeine concentration depends on multiple variables. For example, the amount of coffee used to make the coffee, the variety of green coffee used in the capsule (Robusta contains an average of 2.4% of caffeine while the Arabica variety contains approximately 1.2%), or the length of the extraction. Decaffeinated coffee capsules contain less than 0.1% of caffeine.

  Here's a general guide:

  • Vertuo Capsules: Range between 60mg and 200mg of caffeine per cup, except for half caffeinated & decaffeinated blends.
    - Espresso coffees (40ml) range from 60 to 150mg of caffeine per cup.
    - Double Espresso and Gran Lungo coffees (80ml and 150ml) range from 120 to 200mg of caffeine per cup.
    - Mug and Alto coffees (230ml and 414ml) range from 130 to 200mg of caffeine per cup.
    - Decaffeinated coffee ranges from 4 to 12mg of caffeine per cup, while the Half Caffeinato holds about 70 mg of caffeine per cup. 
  • Original Capsules: Range between 40mg and 130mg of caffeine, except for decaffeinated blends.
    - Ristretto & Espresso (25ml - 40ml) range from 40 to 130mg of caffeine per cup.
    - Lungo (110ml) contains 70 to 110mg of caffeine per cup.
    - Decaffeinated coffee ranges from 2 to 4mg of caffeine per cup.

  Please note that, due to the different variables, we can only provide ranges for each size.
