Peet's Espresso capsules are crafted to deliver the bold, rich character of Peet's signature espresso in a convenient capsule format.
Coffee Blends & Origins
The coffees used in Peet's Espresso capsules are proprietary blends developed specifically for the capsule format. These blends were created by the Peet's Coffee team to deliver the depth, intensity, and flavor profile associated with Peet's dark-roast espresso tradition.
All Peet's Espresso capsule coffees are made with 100% Arabica beans.
Coffee origins vary by blend:
- Ristretto: Primarily sourced from Latin America
- Crema Scura: Coffees from Latin America and the Indo-Pacific
- Ricchezza: Features a strong African coffee influence
- Nerissimo: Primarily sourced from the Indo-Pacific
- Big Bang: Latin America and Ethiopia
- Decaf Ristretto: Primarily sourced from Latin America

Manufacturing & Roasting
Peet's works closely with a specialized aluminum capsule partner to produce our espresso capsule products.
- Capsules are manufactured in France
- Coffee is roasted in France to meet Peet's quality standards
- Peet's partners closely with its manufacturing suppliers to oversee product formulation, roasting, and packaging quality
How the Capsules Work
Peet's Espresso capsules brew similarly to other aluminum coffee capsules. During brewing, the machine uses water and pressure to extract coffee through the capsule, producing espresso with rich flavor and aroma.
NOTE: Peet's Espresso capsules are designed for use in compatible Nespresso® Original machines and L'OR BARISTA systems and are not compatible with Nespresso® Vertuo machines.
