Different Capsule Types: Keurig vs. Nespresso® Compatible – Which Capsules Do You Prefer?

Capsule coffee is popular worldwide, but opinions differ when choosing a system. In the USA, Keurig with its K-Cups is the market leader, while in Europe, Nespresso® compatible capsules dominate. But which coffee capsule is better? We compare Keurig® vs. Nespresso® compatible and show you how to enjoy the best of both worlds in Austria – easily with Meama.

Keurig® Capsules – Variety & Filter Coffee

Keurig® relies on so-called K-Cups, primarily developed for classic American-style coffee (Americano = filter coffee). At Meama, this capsule type is called a Multi-Capsule.

Advantages:

• Wide variety of flavors: coffee, tea, and even multifunction drinks
• Easy one-touch preparation
• Convenient portion size, ideal for large cups

Disadvantage:

• Keurig® is hard to find in Austria. Meama’s Multi-Capsules can be easily and conveniently ordered online.

Nespresso® Capsules – Espresso & Coffee Culture

Nespresso® capsules are widespread in Europe and stand for:

• Strong espresso with crema
• Various roasts from mild to very intense
• Easy availability – almost every supermarket offers Nespresso® compatible capsules from various brands

Nespresso® compatible capsules are designed for smaller cup portions. Those who prefer filter coffee often opt for alternatives like Meama’s Multi-Capsule or Keurig®.
