No, the Vertuo capsules are adapted to the Vertuo machine and will not fit an Original machine. The original capsules do not fit in the Vertuo coffee machines either.

Each coffee variety is specially adapted for the best interaction and harmony with the specifically defined brewing parameters of the Vertuo machine. Since these parameters differ from the Original system, the coffee varieties are different.
