Starbucks Smooth Caramel Nespresso Coffee Capsules

Bring a café-style caramel latte home in seconds. Starbucks® Smooth Caramel was developed for Nespresso® machines to deliver a consistent.

well-rounded cup with buttery caramel and vanilla layered over a light Blonde roast.

The Original Line sleeve typically contains 10 aluminium capsules (~51 g total) engineered to protect freshness;

aluminium capsules are made with a high percentage of recycled material and are recyclable via Nespresso/collection schemes.

Smooth Caramel is positioned as an everyday, easy-drinking flavoured espresso that shines in short shots (espresso / ristretto) or when paired with steamed milk for lattes and cappuccinos.

Always check the pack label for local weight/ingredient details.

Why Customers Love It

Dessert-style caramel sweetness without being cloying — works black or with milk.

Convenient aluminium capsules lock in aroma; recyclable through local Nespresso/Starbucks schemes.
Clear, consistent portioning — each capsule for 1 espresso shot (Original Line) for predictable flavour.

How to Prepare

For Nespresso® Original Line: insert capsule → brew Espresso (~40 ml / 1.35 fl oz) (many retailers specify Original pods brew ≈1.35 fl oz). For a shorter, sweeter shot, use Ristretto (~25 ml). Add steamed milk for a caramel latte.
For Nespresso® Vertuo (if buying Vertuo pack): follow the Vertuo machine setting (pack will indicate the recommended brew size).

Ingredients & Typical Nutrition

Ingredients (market example): Roast & ground coffee (100% Arabica); natural flavouring (caramel/vanilla). Check local pack for exact wording.
Calories: Plain brewed coffee from these capsules is effectively negligible (~1–5 kcal per espresso/shot) — additives (milk, sugar, syrups) change the calorie count. Use standard coffee nutrition references for pack/shop copy.

Caffeine

Original Line capsules typically contain ~60–90 mg caffeine per capsule (varies by blend and extraction). Vertuo cups (larger volumes) will contain more total caffeine per served cup. If precise mg per capsule is required for listings, check the manufacturer/pack insert or regional Starbucks at-home info.
