Hey all, excited to be part of the nespresso fam! These are going to sound dumb, but I’m brand new to the world of espresso… i have the machine that does 2 sizes, regular and lungo.

1) I want the higher caffeine pods and found the spreadsheet that is supper helpful. If something is checked lungo and something not checked lungo and they have similar caffeine… does that mean a smaller shot has more caffeine? Ex. A lungo with 82 caffeine vs. espresso with 102. Less liquid, more caffeine?

2) if something is marked as an espresso and not lungo, will brewing it as lungo ruin the flavor? Should I stick to how the spreadsheet marks it?

3) Will it give more caffeine than noted due to more liquid if I brew an espresso as a lungo? Or would it be the same caffeine and more water?

Thanks! I’m excited to try a bunch of different varieties but ultimately want to use the products as they are intended while getting the most caffeine I can (I plan on drinking black and sipping)
