Golden crema, rich flavor, and eco-friendly elegance in every cup

Julius Meinl Espresso Crema is a medium-intensity (8/10), smooth and balanced espresso in home-compostable, aluminum-free pods that fit every Nespresso® Original machine. Roasted in the Viennese tradition Julius Meinl has followed since 1862, it pours a thick golden crema and a round, persistent finish, with no bitterness.

Who it's for

Daily espresso drinkers who want something smoother than the classic Nespresso® blends. It also makes a great base for cappuccino and latte.

Why people switch to it

• Smoother than most pods: the Arabica-led blend keeps bitterness low even at espresso strength.

• No aluminum waste: the pod goes into your compost, not the trash.

Strong, creamy espresso with serious kick

Julius Meinl Ristretto Intenso is the strongest pod in our range (intensity 10/10): a dark, full-bodied espresso in home-compostable, aluminum-free pods for Nespresso® Original machines. The flavor is powerful but not harsh, sweet and creamy, with a long, persistent aroma.

Who it's for

People who find most pods too weak, and anyone who drinks short, strong espresso or wants a coffee that still tastes like coffee under a lot of milk.

Dark roast with balanced flavor and velvety crema

Julius Meinl Lungo Classico is a 100% Arabica lungo pod for a longer, lighter cup (about 3.7 oz / 110 ml), with notes of malt, almond and fresh bread. It comes in home-compostable, aluminum-free capsules for Nespresso® Original machines. It's the closest a pod gets to a classic Viennese morning coffee.

Who it's for

People who like a mug-style coffee rather than a short espresso, and anyone who wants 100% Arabica with no Robusta.

Quick answers

Lungo vs. espresso? A lungo pushes more water through the coffee, so you get a bigger, milder cup. Use it when you want an "American-size" coffee from a Nespresso® Original machine.
Can I brew it as an espresso? You can, but it's designed and roasted for a lungo, and it tastes best that way.
