Ube Pods – Nespresso® Compatible

The First Ube Pods You'll Actually Want in Your Morning Routine

Meet Kapsoo ube pods — the world's first Nespresso®-compatible capsules made with real Filipino purple yam. No artificial flavoring, no purple dye, no gimmicks. Just authentic ube, freshly ground and sealed into a pod that works with your existing machine.

One pod. Thirty seconds. A café-quality ube latte at home.

Why Kapsoo Ube Pods Are Different

🟣 Real Ube — Not Artificial Flavoring

Every Kapsoo pod is filled with a blend of premium espresso and real ube powder sourced directly from Filipino purple yam farms. The result is a naturally sweet, vanilla-nutty flavor you simply cannot replicate with artificial ube flavoring — and a deep violet color that blooms the moment hot water hits the cup.

⚡ Low Glycemic — Zero Energy Crash

Ube has a naturally low glycemic index, meaning your morning pod gives you smooth, sustained energy without the spike-and-crash cycle of a sugary latte. Sweet taste, stable energy.

🌿 Gut-Friendly Fibers in Every Cup

Purple yam is naturally rich in prebiotic fibers that support a healthy gut microbiome. Your morning coffee just became a wellness ritual — no extra supplements needed.

✨ Antioxidants for Glowing Skin

Ube gets its purple color from anthocyanins — powerful antioxidants linked to reduced inflammation and skin health. Every sip of your ube coffee pod delivers a measurable dose of these plant-based compounds.

🔌 Universal Nespresso® Compatibility

Kapsoo ube pods are engineered to fit all Nespresso® Original Line machines — Essenza, Pixie, Citiz, Inissia, Vertuo excluded. No adapter needed. Just drop in, press brew.

How to Make the Perfect Ube Latte with Your Pods

☕ Classic Ube Espresso (30 sec)

What you need

• 1 Kapsoo ube pod
• Your Nespresso® machine (Original Line)
• Your favorite mug

Steps

1. Insert the Kapsoo pod into your machine
2. Select the espresso setting (40ml)
3. Brew directly over ice or into a warm cup
4. Enjoy as-is, or add steamed milk for a full ube latte

🥛 Ube Latte (2 minutes)

The Kapsoo Signature Serve

1. Brew 1 ube pod over 40ml (espresso setting)
2. Steam or froth 150ml of oat milk, coconut milk, or whole milk
3. Pour the steamed milk over the espresso shot
4. Optional: add ½ tsp vanilla syrup and a dusting of Kapsoo ube powder on top

The result: a barista-quality ube latte with a natural purple gradient, creamy texture, and that unmistakable sweet vanilla-ube finish.

🧊 Iced Ube Latte

Summer Edition

1. Fill a glass with ice
2. Pour 100ml of cold oat milk over the ice
3. Brew 1 ube pod directly over the milk (crema will float beautifully)
4. Stir gently and serve immediately

💜 Ube Cortado

For the Espresso Purists

Brew one pod on the ristretto setting (25ml) and add an equal part of warm whole milk. The concentrated ube flavor shines through — bold, purple, and deeply aromatic.

From Filipino Farms to Your Nespresso® Machine

Our Ube — Sourced Directly from the Philippines

The ube in every Kapsoo pod comes from family-owned farms in the Visayas region of the Philippines — the heartland of authentic purple yam cultivation. We source directly, pay fair prices, and visit our farm partners annually. No middlemen. No mystery ingredients.

Our Coffee — Specialty Grade Espresso

We blend our ube with a specialty-grade Arabica espresso roasted to a medium-dark profile — smooth enough not to overpower the ube, bold enough to give you the caffeine kick your morning demands. Every batch is roasted fresh and sealed within 48 hours of roasting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ube Pods

What are ube pods?

Ube pods are Nespresso®-compatible coffee capsules infused with real ube (Filipino purple yam) powder. Kapsoo ube pods combine specialty espresso with authentic ube for a naturally sweet, violet-colored coffee experience with no artificial flavoring.

Are Kapsoo ube pods compatible with my Nespresso® machine?

Kapsoo ube pods are compatible with all Nespresso® Original Line machines. They are not compatible with Vertuo Line machines. If your machine uses the small, round capsules (not the larger dome-shaped ones), you're good to go.

Do ube pods contain caffeine?

Yes — each Kapsoo ube pod contains approximately 60mg of caffeine from the espresso blend, equivalent to a standard single espresso shot. If you prefer a caffeine-free ube drink, try our Kapsoo Ube Powder for lattes and smoothies.

What does an ube pod taste like?

A Kapsoo ube pod tastes like a smooth espresso with a naturally sweet, vanilla-nutty finish and a subtle earthy undertone. The ube doesn't overpower the coffee — it complements it, creating a flavor profile unlike any standard espresso or flavored pod on the market.

How many pods come in a box?

Each Kapsoo ube pod box contains 10 pods — enough for 10 espresso shots or approximately 5 full ube lattes (2 shots per latte). Subscribe monthly and save 15%.

Can I use ube pods without a Nespresso® machine?

Kapsoo ube pods are designed specifically for Nespresso® Original Line machines and require a compatible machine to brew. No machine? Our ube powder works with any kitchen setup — no machine required.
