How to identify the right coffee capsule.
- Read the machine label. Find the model name and capsule system in its manual or official product page.
- Match the exact capsule family. “Nespresso compatible” should specify Original or Vertuo. TASSIMO uses T DISCs, which depend on their barcode.
- Check the drink capsule type. Some systems sell separate espresso and brewed-coffee capsules.
- Use the local manufacturer page. Product lines, pack sizes, and model availability can differ by country.
