Price aside, my preferred third-party capsules are Starbucks Espresso and L’Or Ristretto.

Recently, I replaced my original Nespresso Aerocinno (jug type) with a new Aerocinno 4. What a difference...

The internal coating is easier to clean,
There’s only one dual purpose whisk, rather than two,
You can clean the main jug in the dishwasher,
Options are: cold milk (summer), hot milk, capucinno, latte macchiato,
The Milk is HOT,
The foam density in making latte macchiato is thick enough to insulate wall cavities,
No need to spoon-out the foam: it all comes out on pouring,
Soy Milk does not burn onto the coating,
The lid seals better, so no spillages in use.

Recommended.
