The Best Nespresso Pods To Use For The Creamiest Iced Latte
BY Wendy Leigh
Choosing the right Nespresso pods to make a cup of coffee is even more important if you're making an iced latte, as both milk and ice can easily dilute the flavor of your brew.
You need a pod with a highly defined flavor to withstand the icy onslaught. In the Vertuo line of coffees, you can opt for options like Ice Legerro and Ice Forte coffee pods.
The Ice Forte offers bold and intense flavor, with a five out of five dark roasting level. Its South American and Indonesian Arabica beans add woody, peppery, and cereal notes.
Ice Leggero boasts a three out of five roast level, so it's light and fruity with hints of cereal. It still dispenses 2.7 fluid ounces of concentrated coffee, giving solid flavors.
Meanwhile, a Nespresso recipe guide suggests the Double Espresso Chiaro pod for Vertuo customers. It rates 11 on the intensity scale and has a roasted, smoky character.
For a lighter, gentler drink, go for the Vertuo Voltessa espresso pod that rates at level four. In Nespresso's Original line, Freddo Intenso is as intense as Veruto Iced Forte.
Three other suggestions for iced lattes include the rich Firenze Arpeggio, the slightly less intense Master Crafted Single Origins Indonesia, and the light Volluto espresso blend.
