Vertuo Craft Brew Carafe (535 ml · 18 fl oz) Discontinued
Carafe Starter Pack
1 Glass Carafe (600 ml), 1 Stirrer, 14 Carafe capsules.
Carafe Starter Pack is a Nespresso Vertuo set that contains capsules together with other items. Because the price also covers items that are not coffee, no price per capsule is quoted for it.
Priced as a set. This pack includes more than capsules (contains: carafe), so a price per capsule would attribute the cost of those items to the coffee. Only the pack price is shown, and this product is left out of every ranking and country average.

Price history
Filled markers are recorded price or stock changes for the whole set; hollow markers are additional archived sightings that confirmed the same local price. A line spans only dates on which the listing kept being seen, gaps mean continuity is not established, and dashed stretches are periods observed out of stock.
Converted to $ at the reference rate of each observation's own date, so every market is what it would have cost you on the day it was read.
Hover a line or a market name to read it; press one to keep it lit, and press again to release. Several can be held at once.

Common questions
Which machines does Carafe Starter Pack fit?
Carafe Starter Pack is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable.
Is Carafe Starter Pack a capsule or a coffee pod?
Both words describe the same thing. The manufacturer calls them capsules, and English-language stores also say coffee pods; Carafe Starter Pack is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Carafe Starter Pack pods" and "Carafe Starter Pack capsules" will find the same coffee.
What cup size is Carafe Starter Pack brewed at?
Storefronts list Carafe Starter Pack at Carafe (535 ml).
Can Carafe Starter Pack be brewed shorter and stronger for a milk drink?
On Vertuo machines with Coffee Creations the same capsule brews a shorter, stronger cup, intended as the base for iced and milk drinks. It is an extra mode, not the only one these machines have: a normal cup is still one press. On Vertuo Next, Pop, Pop+, Lattissima and Creatista you turn it on by pressing the coffee button twice — it blinks turquoise, the mode applies to that cup only, and the machine goes back to brewing normally afterwards; Vertuo Up has a dedicated Coffee Creations button, and there the mode stays on until the machine is switched off. The size steps down one place: an Espresso capsule brews as a Ristretto (25 ml), Double Espresso and Gran Lungo brew as an Espresso (40 ml), and a Mug capsule brews as a Double Espresso (80 ml). The machine refuses the mode for Ristretto, Cold Brew Style and Carafe capsules — the mode switches off again and the barcode size is brewed — and Nespresso does not recommend it for Alto or the Coffee+ range. In the rare case that the double press does nothing, try updating the machine’s firmware from the Nespresso app. Older Vertuo models, including Vertuo Plus, brew only the size written in the barcode.
