Nespresso caffeine content information

Figuring out how much caffeine is in Nespresso pods can be hard, especially because the U.S. Nespresso site (and many other countries) will only give you a vague answer.

A great example is a range of 50-100mg of caffeine per pod for the FAQ section on Nespresso’s website:

Luckily, the Taiwanese Nespresso site holds the correct information for the caffeine in the coffee pods sold.

Remember that the caffeine content of a coffee pod can change, so the following charts are best used as an estimate of the caffeine in various Nespresso pods.

I also couldn’t find some Nespresso pods on the Taiwanese Nespresso site that are sold in the U.S. and other countries, such as in Europe.

This is why the charts below will have a mix of the specific caffeine content from the Taiwanese site and a few that I couldn’t find any more information about.

I’ve listed “No data” to indicate that I couldn’t find the specific caffeine content for that pod.

Is Nespresso’s caffeine content the same as its intensity level?

No, the intensity level of Nespresso coffee does not directly correspond to the caffeine content.

The intensity levels of Nespresso pods indicate how strong and bold the coffee will taste, while the caffeine content is measured in milligrams (mg) per capsule or serving.

Nespresso intensity levels as seen on the sleeves.

When you choose a Nespresso pod on their website, you’re presented with its strength out of 12 for Nespresso Vertuo pods and an intensity level of 13 for Original Nespresso pods.

This corresponds to a flavor profile from milder coffees such as lungos or decaffeinated capsules up to intense espressos like ristretto.

However, this scale does not demonstrate how much caffeine is contained within each pod.

You can learn more about Nespresso intensity levels in this in-depth article, where you can find charts for both Nespresso Vertuo and OriginalLine coffee pods.
