For a single household, a holder with a small capacity might be enough, but for a household with several daily Nespresso drinkers, a model that fits 40 to 50 capsules make the most sense. A holder where the pods are neatly arranged by rows is especially important if you store different Nespresso varieties. It shows you at a glance which ones are low, and you don’t have to rummage through the supply to find the flavor you want. Yes, Nespresso capsules do expire, but it takes a very long time. The brand guarantees its capsules are usable at least one year after being made, and like with actual coffee beans you can use them longer than that and still have some good flavor, although expect the coffee to be weaker. Remember to store your capsules in a dry and mild-temperature place to extend shelf life.For a versatile, space-saving dispenser that adheres to your fridge, wall, or cabinet, we recommend Demi's Home Magnetic Adhesive Nespresso Capsule Holder.
