The Nespresso system - the unique interaction between Nespresso capsules and machines

Nespresso has reinvented the way millions of people worldwide prepare their coffee with a combination of a range of convenient, smartly-designed machines, and portioned coffee capsules. With the original Nespresso capsule and a genuine Nespresso machine, anyone can make the perfect coffee, cup after cup. Behind this simplicity lies a complex process that Nespresso has mastered in the quest to deliver the highest quality coffee to consumers.

At the heart of the Nespresso system is the unique interaction between our coffee capsules and our machines. Integrating advanced technology and function, Nespresso machines manage the exact balance between water temperature, pressure, quantity and speed. They are specifically designed to enhance the aroma, crema and flavour of our Nespresso coffees, creating the perfect cup every time.

The Nespresso Vertuo system uses technology to ensure that every coffee is extracted perfectly as intended

The unique barcode on each coffee capsule contains bespoke extraction parameters. This regulates the flow and volume of water, as well as the temperature, infusion time and even the speed of capsule rotation. You can precisely brew your favourite coffee style. Easily. Every time.

Our unique Vertuo coffees capsules come in seven cup sizes to match your coffee preference at any time of the day.

This unique capsule allows Vertuo to introduce the first true Double Espresso in a single capsule, along with the favourites of Espresso, Long Black and another coffee capsule first, a 535ml Carafe Pour Over style coffee, perfect for sharing.
