Which drink types do you make with them?

I largely drink espresso but have been venturing to new styles in the pandemic.

Just regular espresso. They say this one can also be a lungo. About the only varieties I do are the ones designed for ice and either shake with a bit of milk/ice or make an espresso tonic with a shake of orange bitters.

I honestly don't know the difference between a lungo and espresso. I just know some capsules produce more espresso/lungo/whatever than others.

Longer extraction time gets different notes. Also how much volume you want to drink.

Lungo is the same dose of coffee pulled with more, sometimes double the water volume. You get a diluted shot but more volume in the cup.
Opposite of this is a ristretto. Finer grind and less water but pulled to the same length of time as a regular shot. Get a rich, sweet, syrupy shot. Half the volume of a usual shot.

What’s the most durable, simple Nepresso for a fairly high volume work environment?
You guys probably want to look at the professional lines.You don't get the same variety of capsules, though.

So sad that I'm on my last few La Cumpliada. This is honestly unlike any other cup of coffee I've had. So freaking good.
