The difference between Nescafe® and Nespresso® Nestlé® is the overall company which owns both brands namely Nescafe® Dolce Gusto® and Nespresso®. Unfortunately, even though they sound similar and are owned by the same company, the actual capsule systems are very different and not interchangeable.
It's one of the most frequently asked questions. And although the answer may seem obvious to some, we can confirm that you cannot use Nespresso® pods or Nespresso®-compatible pods with a Dolce Gusto® machine. The same is true for the other way around, you cannot use Dolce Gusto® pods in a Nespresso® coffee machine.
The aroma, flavor and all-round quality of the coffee produced by a Nespresso machine is significantly higher than that of Dolce Gusto - particularly when used with high-end gourmet coffee pods. Nespresso coffee capsules are among the only coffee pods on the market that are fully recyclable.
Companies that produce compatible pods include Real Coffee, Starbucks, Douwe Egberts, Café Pod, Hotel Chocolat, Gourmesso, and many more. These pods vary in design and construction. They can be made of aluminium, plastic, and other materials.
