Price history
Filled markers are recorded price or stock changes per capsule; 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.

About this coffee
Origin
Variations Gingerbread is based on the Half Caffeinato recipe, with origins mainly from Brazil and Africa. It displays a smooth texture and medium intensity, with delicate hints of biscuit, the ideal base for this flavored limited edition coffee.
Roasting
The Arabica coffees in
BARISTA
CREATIONS GINGERBREAD are split roasted. The Brazilian beans are roasted medium dark and quickly to develop their sweetness. The second split gives this Vertuo flavoured coffee its velvety texture.

Common questions
Where is Gingerbread cheapest?
Gingerbread is cheapest in Portugal at $0.87 per capsule, and most expensive in Thailand at $1.45 per capsule, based on the latest published prices in each market.
Why does Gingerbread cost different amounts in different countries?
Each market is priced separately. The gap comes from local taxes, currency movements, distribution costs and local pricing strategy — for Gingerbread the spread between the cheapest and dearest market is 67%.
What is the intensity of Gingerbread?
Gingerbread has an intensity of 5 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Coffee (230 ml) cup size.
Which machines does Gingerbread fit?
Gingerbread is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable.
Is Gingerbread 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; Gingerbread is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Gingerbread pods" and "Gingerbread capsules" will find the same coffee.
What does Gingerbread taste like?
The published flavour notes for Gingerbread are candy sweet, cardamom, cereal, flavoured, ginger, milky.
In how many countries is Gingerbread sold?
Gingerbread is currently listed in 15 of the markets we track. Availability differs by country, and a capsule sold in one market is often absent from its neighbour.
What cup size is Gingerbread brewed at?
Storefronts list Gingerbread at Coffee (230 ml).
Can Gingerbread 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.
When was Gingerbread on sale?
We recorded Gingerbread on sale between 2016 and 2026. Years without a record are shown as gaps; they mean our covered sources did not confirm a sale, not that absence in every country is proven.
