    Even Nespresso don't do cappuccino or latte pods. What exactly are you looking for?

    You use the espresso pods to make a latte or cappuccino a long with a milk frother/steamer. If you want pods that make a full cappuccino or Latte then you need to buy a machine like a Dulce Gusto and buy their specific pods.

    Or just buy instant sachets.
    Milk frother would be the way to go. Aldi often do them.

    Nespresso machines generally only make the espresso part. Some Nespresso machines come with frothers attached or bundled but none AFAIK actually make a latte or cappuccino.

    As previous posters have indicated the machines that make them are Dolce Gusto/Tassimo etc.

    You can get Nespresso branded frothers or Aldi and the likes sometimes do them for around €20.

    Alternatively but a cheapo battery whisk frother and work from there.

    Ya that's not a nespresso machine. It won't take the pods from lidl and ALDI. You need to pick up Dolce Gusto pods. They sell them in Dunnes, Tesco, Super Valu.

    I'm a pretty passionate advocate for nespresso and ive tried the robert roberts and bewleys pods and theyre just not the same as buying the nespresso pods. I quite enjoy going into the shop off grafton and i "try" 2 or 3 coffees while I'm there. You say you want a cappuccino well you can make any pod flavour into a cappuccino if you have a frother. There are no pods that say "cappuccino".
    A pack of 10 pods costs between 3.50 and 5euro which is about the price of 2 coffees so it's not bad. Pods aren't the cheapest option but I love the novelty and it's certainly cheaper than buying coffee in a cafe (which I do too often...)

    To recap: OP is looking for compatible nespresso cappuccino and latte pods for a Nescafe Dulce Gusto machine.
