Data Visualization: The Nespresso Podiodic Table

After futzing with the Nespresso booklet, I created this one-page infographic to assist the perplexed with a visual menu for their coffee fix.

    Nespresso Podiodic Table–a periodic table of Nespresso pods

I created the Nespresso Podiodic Table infographic in 2015 after a friend proudly showed off his shiny new Nespresso machine to me and we fell down a rabbit hole trying to pick a flavor to test. This might be a familiar feeling for you.

The original idea behind the table was to create an A3-sized page that presented all the Nespresso coffee pods at a glance. I needed to be able to see the flavor profile and intensity of each pod at a glance, and without having to resort to Nescafe’s little book. The simplest solution was to create a periodic–or “podiodictable. Print it, laminate it and stick it up inside the cupboard above your Nespresso altar.

This was an early stab at an infographic design that performed a helpful daily task, as well as the eye-candy function. I was really chuffed when I saw this up above the coffee station in someone else’s office. That was sweet.
