4 min read

Have you bought a Nespresso coffee machine recently but don’t think you’re getting the most out of it?

The best thing about Nespresso's coffee machines is that they’re easy to use and navigate. The machines are automatic – producing barista-style coffee at the touch of a button – as well as being cost-effective and convenient. Curious about the magic happening inside? Learn more about how does a coffee machines work and the technology behind your perfect cup.

Our machines and capsules are designed to create the perfect cup of coffee every single time – whether you’re someone who likes to start the day with a latte, a cappuccino, or an Italian-inspired espresso.

With Nespresso, simplicity is key. All you need to do is press a button and – thanks to innovative technology – our machines will pour a rich, flavourful coffee without any of the effort needed when using coffee grounds. Smart, simple, and precise – the perfect combination.

Coffee at the touch of a button

Knowing you can insert a capsule, press one button and delicious espresso is yours is one of the many reasons coffee drinkers love Nespresso. Making it a milky coffee is just as easy. You just need to fill the milk jug that comes with a variety of Nespresso coffee machines, or use a Nespresso milk frother, and again you’ll have perfectly frothed milk in just a few moments.

Read on for a step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Place your coffee cup on the machine.

Step 2: Fill the milk jug with milk.

Step 3: Pop your capsule of choice into the coffee machine.

Step 4: Select the recipe button – just the one button for all milk coffee and coffee drinks.

Step 5: Sit back, relax and enjoy your freshly made coffee.

How to use a milk frother

We offer a number of Nespresso milk frothers, such as the retro style Aeroccino 3 Milk Frother. They each create light, creamy hot or cold milk froth for your latte and cappuccino recipes.

Barista Milk Frother is the first connected milk device from Nespresso and is perfect for making iced coffees, hot chocolates, mocha recipes and many more. Scroll through your favourite recipes with Bluetooth connectivity, the Nespresso app and touch screen. It's also dishwasher safe.

Choosing a Nespresso coffee machine

We offer a wide range of coffee machines to cater to all tastes and budgets.

And there’s a lot to love about each of them – such as those in the Vertuo line. Freshly made coffee with crema and espresso, machines from the Vertuo range can make up to six cup sizes.

​​​​​Take the Vertuo Creatista as an example. All you need to do is insert a capsule, close the lever and the capsule spins up to 7000 rotations a minute, blending the ground coffee with water and delivering the perfect crema for quality.

The same is just as true of our Original machines. CitiZ offers a smaller, more modern design, with espresso and lungo sizes, ideal for today’s urban lifestyle, while Creatista Uno has a fully-automatic steam wand, allowing you to explore your inner artist with latte art creations and a range of milk-based recipes.

It might be compact, but don’t think the Essenza Mini is small on coffee creation. Minimalist in design, this machine will make a big impact in your home.

Then there’s the Creatista Pro, a premium coffee machine that offers customisable coffee and milk settings, an automatic steam wand for barista-style milk froth, fast heat-up time, and a touchscreen interface for personalised coffee preferences.

Nespresso coffee pods selection

Coffee capsules or ‘pods’ have made the coffee-creation process even easier. With coffee pods and your coffee machine, barista-style coffee at home takes just seconds.

Nespresso’s extensive range of coffee capsules come in flavours and blends from all corners of the world.

Original

Our Original capsules offer easy access to a world of rich espressos, exquisite aromas and full flavours. Inspired by European – especially Italian – blends, Original pods include the likes of Australia’s favourite, the Arpeggio, and Master Origins capsules from famous coffee-growing regions such as Colombia and India.

Vertuo

Meanwhile, the Nespresso Vertuo capsules are something of a different beast. In six different sizes, these exciting, innovative capsules each contain a barcode which tells the machine exactly how it should be made. That makes for effortless, fascinating brews, such as the intense, bold Double Espresso Scuro and the enticing Vertuo Cold Brew Style Intense – plus many more.
