Nespresso is famous for its great tasting espresso. But for some, the intensity of an espresso is just a bit too much. Step forward, the Nespresso Vertuo.

This innovative technology from Nespresso meets every coffee lover’s need. Whether you want a quick espresso to wake you up or a large mug of coffee to get you through the afternoon, the Vertuo delivers barista-style coffee at a touch.

Quick, fresh coffee in four cup sizes

If you crave an extra few minutes in bed in the morning, the Vertuo’s quick and easy coffee making is perfect. It heats up in 15-20 seconds and all you have to do is pick what coffee you want and press a button - fresh coffee in less than a minute. Beat that coffee shop!

Whatever size of coffee you prefer, there’s always a Vertuo capsule to match:

• For traditionalists, an Espresso (40ml) is perfect at any time of day

• If you hanker after a longer drink, the Gran Lungo (150ml) offers the intensity of an espresso in a larger cup

• Sometimes you just want to curl up with a Mug (230ml) of coffee and watch the world go by

• For thirsty coffee lovers, the Alto (414ml) will keep you going through the longest commute

Brewing the perfect coffee every time

Working out the correct ratio of coffee grounds to water can be too much to think about first thing in the morning. With the Vertuo you won’t have to.

The Vertuo has an inbuilt barcode recognition system. This means when you pop in a Vertuo capsule it scans the barcode and adjusts the flow of water, temperature and infusion time automatically. This unique extraction process optimises the brewing process to give you consistently great coffee.

With 19 different coffee blends available - including various flavoured roasts and decaffeinated options - there’s something to suit every taste. Each coffee has been developed for a particular cup size to give the optimum intensity and flavour. If you’re not sure which blend is for you, the Vertuo comes with a sampler pack of 12 different capsules to get you started.

Get a flawless crema every time

A good crema is the sign of a good espresso. All Vertuo espressos and coffees are topped with a rich, generous crema thanks to the patented Centrifusion™ technology. But how does it work?

When you place a capsule into the machine it’s spun at up to 7000 rotations per minute. At the same time, hot water shoots into the capsule, blending with the coffee to create a smooth coffee with a creamy foam.

If you prefer milk with your coffee, you can still get a perfect crema with Reverso. Pour 50ml of cold milk into your mug and extract the coffee on top. The result: a milky crema and a velvety smooth coffee.

Brew, drink, recycle

Capsules are great for a cup of fresh coffee, but it’s easy to feel uncomfortable about the waste this can cause. Fortunately all Vertuo capsules are fully recyclable.

The capsules are made from virgin aluminium and are designed to keep your coffee fresh by sealing it from light, air and humidity.

Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material, meaning your used capsules can be reused again and again. You can drop off your used capsules at a number of local collection points (including Collect+ and Doodle UK locations) or a Nespresso boutique, or even arrange a collection from your doorstep.

Optimise space in your kitchen

The Vertuo has a 1.2-litre capacity and is one of the most stylish coffee machines on the market. But if you’ve got a family of coffee drinkers, the **larger 1.7-litre moveable water tank **on the VertuoPlus will come in handy. You can position the tank to the back or either side of the coffee machine to help it fit into your kitchen.

Which Nespresso Vertuo Pods are right for you?

Cup size: Vertuo pods are designed to produce specific cup sizes, so check the label to make sure your coffee will fit in your cup!

Roast level: Do you like a light, medium or dark roast?

Flavour profile: Do you like fruity, nutty, chocolatey or balanced flavours?

Here are some specific blends that should match what you’re looking for….

Like a small, strong espresso? Choose "Ristretto & Espresso" blends like Diavolitto or Altissio.

For a larger but still full-bodied coffee, "Double Espresso" blends like Scuro or Forte are a good bet.

if you like a large medium-bodied coffee, "Mug" blends like Melozio will hit the spot.

If you like complex, fruitier flavours, try “Origin" blends like Colombia or Ethiopia.

For a creamy coffee, "Barista Creations" like Hazelnut or Vanilla make a great latte.

Nespresso Vertuo vs. other coffee machines

When it comes to coffee machines, the Nespresso Vertuo stands out with its own unique features. As we’ve said, the Vertuo’s patented Centrifusion tech spins the coffee capsule at high speed, blending ground coffee with water to produce a rich, thick crema that gives you a lovely aroma and texture to your coffee.

You also can’t go wrong! Since every capsule type has a unique barcode, the machine automatically adjusts the way it brews to give you the cup of coffee that Nespresso’s coffee experts intended. Compare this to drip coffee machines, and you’re really using a lot of guesswork to get coffee to water ratio right.

Nespresso Vertuo’s sleek and compact design makes it easy to fit into your kitchen without hogging countertop space. Its user-friendly interface and quick heat-up time make it easy to grab a perfect cup of coffee in a hurry. And minimal mess to worry about too!
