you can’t just go and buy the one you want as it has to be compatible with your fucking coffee machine
It’s not that big an issue if you know why, the 2 capsules are:
The issue was the original smaller one didn’t have a way to verify that you got it from Nespresso, so it got generic’d and there are thousands of others selling the capsules
Nespresso essentially copied the printer cartridge world and made a second version that as you can see has a barcode printed on the rim of it that the machine reads to confirm it’s bought from Nespresso
The main thing is simply don’t buy a coffee machine that requires the second capsule and then you’re free to get capsules wherever you want
I bought mine second hand and it had the second type and learned a valuable lesson that day :))
