Prices read from each Amazon listing on the date shown; they move. Box counts from the listing. Last check across the index: 2026-08-21. This table is free to cite with attribution.

Why rank by price per pod instead of box price?

Because boxes range from 24 to 120 pods. A $16 box of 24 and a $39 box of 100 are 66 cents and 39 cents a cup. Two pods a day is 730 a year, so a 30-cent gap per pod is about $220 a year.

Why are Vertuo capsules so much more expensive?

Vertuo's barcoded capsules have no third-party market, so every box is Nespresso-made or Nespresso-licensed. Original and K-Cup formats are open, which is where the sub-50-cent boxes come from.

How current are these prices?

Each row shows the date we last read the price from the listing. We re-check monthly; prices move, so treat the table as the ranking on that day, not a quote.
