Vertuo
Both Original and Vertuo provide a high quality coffee that is larger than an Espresso (40ml). However, thanks to the Centrifusion™ technology and the new range of Vertuo capsules, we can offer three coffees that are bigger than an Original Lungo: Gran Lungo(150), Mug(230ml) and Carafe (535ml). This is alongside a cup size that is unique to Vertuo – the Double Espresso (80ml)
The Vertuo Next has been the pioneer on this new range, with Bluetooth that allows automatic updates. It was redesigned to accept an even bigger capsule size, which can elaborate half-liter coffees in order to reach every member's way to enjoy our coffee. The Vertuo Plus represents an upgrade which is distinguished by its automatic open system and by its flexible and removable water tank of high capacity.
When it comes to crafting our blends, the process is unique. This includes a rigorous bean selection, expert blending, roasting and grinding for an optimal interaction with the specific brewing parameters of the Vertuo machine. With 31 blends and 5 extraction sizes available, we are confident you will be able to find a Vertuo option to suit your perfect coffee moment.
Due to the fact that the Vertuo range uses different types of pods, of a different size and also a whole new technology, the original line is not compatible.
The name Vertuo is derived from the word "virtuoso", which represents the finest craftsmanship in a certain field.Therefore, this choice reflects Nespresso's aim to provide the best coffee experience.
The Vertuo range represents an innovative system, which has introduced various ways of extracting coffee and a vast amount of aromatic notes through the Centrifusion™ method since 2014.
Yes, simply pair your Vertuo machine with an Aeroccino milk frother and you can create a range of hot and cold frothed milk recipes, including a macchiato, cappuccino or latte. We recommend the Vertuo range of Espresso and Double Espresso capsules for these recipes.
The price of Nespresso Vertuo capsules reflects the innovative technology and the versatility that the machine offers in brewing multiple coffee preparations and varieties with the same, high quality in cup result. The sophisticated Vertuo capsules incorporate new technology, including a bar code on each capsule, which facilitates a product-intelligent extraction system, allowing the machine to recognize our masterful crafted assortments.
The two systems are different and appeal to different types of coffee lovers.The Original range is designed for people seeking the classic espresso and espresso-based coffees, while Vertuo is for those who prefer a large cup of coffee. Furthermore,the technology used is also very distinctive; Vertuo uses gentle Centrifusion™ extraction, while the Original machines use a high-pressure 19 bar extraction system to release the fresh aromas from each capsule.
Yes. All Vertuo capsules can be recycled through the existing system for Nespresso capsules, following the same process as the original line. The two types of capsules can be collected together.
Nespresso is known for its innovation and new product development, constantly seeking to provide new experiences to customers. We have created several new Vertuo blends since the launch of the system and will continue to expand the System in the future.
Due to the fact that the Vertuo capsules are slightly bigger than the Original line, as they contain more coffee, it is required to use more aluminium. But, thanks to the recycling process we aim to re-use as much as we can the aluminium collected from the used capsules.
We try to innovate our promotions and systems continuously, in order to offer the best experience to all our members. Therefore, we will try to create limited editions for the Vertuo line as well.
No, the Vertuo range is recognized for the high quantities of coffee extracted, as well for the Espresso at the same time, being characterized by a sharp creaminess. Americano is a coffee recipe, which involves adding an amount of 80 ml of hot water over an extracted espresso assortment, which does not present any cream.
It is possible to purchase the Aeroccino 3 or Aeroccino 4 in addition to the Vertuo machine to create the ultimate milk froth experience, using also the Reverso method. Our specialists are continuously working towards a coffee machine for this range that will have an integrated milk solution.
The difference between the Vertuo range and other ways of extracting coffee in larger sizes is related to the Centrifusion™ technology that represents the most optimal way of extraction for all assortments. This new way of extracting the capsules facilitates the creation of a drink as correctly as possible, in terms of establishing the degree of temperature and the amount of water needed for each assortment, to obtain a coffee with a considerable cream and with distinct aromatic notes.

This innovation represents the most effective way of extracting a certain assortment due to the prolonged infusion time of the ground coffee with centrifugal force, in order to enjoy the very last drop of aromatic notes from each Vertuo capsule.
The coffee cream is one of the main signature elements at Nespresso;it is the main key to preserving the aromatic notes and flavours in order to enjoy the most qualitative cup of coffee.
The bar code on the sides of the capsules serves to inform the device which are the optimal extraction parameters for each assortment. The Vertuo machine adjusts the pre-infusion time, water temperature, water volume and rotation speed accordingly.
The coffee temperature cannot be modified, specific extraction parameters are established for each blend, to prepare the coffee in the most optimal way.
The Vertuo system is based on a 4-step extraction process of the capsules in order to obtain the best results. After heating the device - process that lasts less than for other devices (30sec) -the next step is reading the barcode and enter the pre-infusion stage, then finally extracting the coffee and drying the coffee grounds.
No, the Original Range is the foundation of Nespresso, which has facilitated the spread of the Nespresso experience to millions of members. As we are constantly looking to innovate, the Vertuo range is the alternative for members who prefer to extract the assortments in higher quantities than the classic ones, Ristretto ,Espresso or Lungo.
The capsules in which the Nespresso assortments are packaged contain freshly ground and roasted coffee in varying amounts depending on the extraction method. Below you will find the grammage for one capsule of coffee.
- Ristretto and espresso - 7 grams
- Double espresso and Gran Lungo - 10 grams
- Mug - 12.5 grams
- Carafe - 17 grams
The caffeine content may vary for each assortment and is influenced by two major factors: the amount of Robusta used in a capsule (Robusta contains twice as much caffeine as Arabica),as well as the quantity of ground coffee used to prepare the cup. For instance, the caffeine level for Espresso and Gran Lungo sizes ranges from 70 to 150 mg, and for Mug and Alto it may vary from 170 to 200 mg.For Carafe, the caffeine content is between 220 and 250 mg, but this particular coffee size is recommended to be drank in 2 or 3 portions.
Your machine may have an air bubble. Air bubbles can block the flow of water through the spout. They usually occur if the machine is operated without water in the tank or has not been used for a long period. Eject any capsule, ensure there is water in the tank, and then follow the troubleshooting tips below. For Vertuo Line machines, follow the Cleaning instructions in your User Manual. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries. For further assistance, please call our Specialists via our toll-free number: 0800008300.
Because this new technology is an innovation from 2014 and the process of extracting is different for Vertuo and Original Line.

The Nespresso Vertuo technology requires a 5 phase extraction process to provide the perfect in-cup result. The heat up time only takes less than a minute which makes the total preparation time faster than the average standards.
