ORIGINAL
THE CLASSIC ESPRESSO EXPERIENCE

You can make espressos to larger cups with Vertuo
- from a short Espresso, a smooth Gran Lungo, an indulgent Coffee or a bigger cup of Alto topped with smooth and generous crema. Behind the scenes, the technology uses gentle Centrifusion™ extraction, recognizing each capsule and adapting the parameters accordingly to create your perfect coffee style. With Original, you can also enjoy the same smooth, authentic taste of your coffee
- from Ristretto, Espresso, Lungo, to americano and milk recipes. Original machines use a high-pressure 19 bar extraction system to release the fresh aromas from each capsule.

Try crafting a variety of coffee and milk recipes, Cappuccinos or Lattes too using the Aeroccino or the built-in one-touch system.

All Nespresso capsules are made from aluminium and can be recycled. Bring your used capsules to one of our collection points, drop them off at your neast Nespresso store or waste collection center, or fill your recycling bag with used capsules and give it to the postperson when they next deliver your order. By adding capsule recycling to your coffee ritual, your coffee won't only taste good, it feels good too.

Each capsule contains high quality, specially-selected ground coffee from coffee-growing lands worldwide. We start by choosing and picking the most quality beans. That's all thanks to our partners. We're working with 70,000 farmers who are committed as we are to cultivating these rare beans. Take your pick from the wide variety of capsules, each with its own distinctive character and aroma.

Nothing is more important than ensuring you enjoy the same high quality coffee, every time. From the bean to your cup, the quality and sustainability of your coffee is at the heart of who we are. Our commitment to you is to make sure you can enjoy the highest possible quality coffee, without taking any shortcuts. We've been working on our AAA Sustainable Quality Program with the Rainforest Alliance since 2003 to make sure we get your perfect cup of coffee precisely right.

Each Nespresso capsule flavour is different. Strong or smooth, crisp or cremay, the world is your oyster.

Various scientific studies indicate that an intake of 300 to 400mg of caffeine from all sources per day for the normally healthy adult population does not cause any adverse effects on health.

Expressed in cups, it means 300-400mg of caffeine typically represents 4-5 cups of Nespresso Original coffees, or 2 to 5 cups of coffees for Vertuo coffees which may vary according to blend.

Official recommendations for pregnant and breastfeeding women, however, are that:

- they reduce their intake to 200-300 mg of caffeine per day,

- the equivalent of 3 to 4 cups of Nespresso Original coffees per day, 1 to 4 cups for Vertuo coffees.

Yes of course it depends on what you are looking for. Eg: Kazaar and Dharkan are coffees that will preserve their roasted character in contrast with lighter coffees like Volluto for example that evolve more under the influence of milk. Intense coffees have the unique ability to retain their roasty, smoky and pleasing bitterness, even with the addition of milk into recipes. Lighter coffees on the other hand will develop caramel/biscuit notes when drunk with milk. For sweet experiences, you can realize creative recipes you will find on ultimate coffee creations.

Coffee cherry is the fruit on the coffee tree, whereas the coffee bean is inside the coffee cherry that will be roasted and ground that will end up in your cup.

Coffee is a very versatile drink that can be drunk and prepared in many ways. Nespresso proposes you a machine and a coffee to give you a perfect cup of coffee, time after time. Depending on the blend you choose, you can have a very strong Italian like espresso, or a larger smooth coffee, to a chocolate flavored coffee.
