Frequently asked questions

At Nespresso, innovation is at the heart of what we do. Based on consumer research, it was identified that the Coffee Subscription program needed to evolve to match our customers’ needs, which is how the new ‘Recurring Coffee Plan’ was created. 

The Recurring Coffee Plan was designed to be a set and forget order to have your favourites delivered straight to your door with the benefits of extra coffee and free delivery. 

It’s a set-and-forget order delivered straight to your door, with an ongoing benefit of a free sleeve per 100 cumulative capsules purchased. A Recurring Coffee Plan also gives you free delivery for orders over 50 capsules, and as a member, you will benefit from early access to offers and products. You can find out more about it here. 

Any credit balance accumulated until 30th November 2022 will remain in your account for 12 months to be used with any purchase across our entire range of coffees, accessories or machines.   

After 12 months, as per the Coffee Subscription Plan terms and conditions, we can convert the credit to Nespresso coffee capsules that we will send to you at your recorded delivery address.  You can check your current balance of Nespresso credit by logging into your account on Nespresso.com 

As per the Coffee Subscription terms and conditions, your credit will remain in your account for 12 months after your Coffee Subscription plan is terminated. Any unused Nespresso credit at the end of the 12 months will be automatically converted to Nespresso capsules and sent to you. You can check your current balance of Nespresso credit by logging into your account on Nespresso.com 

YES. You will still be able to use your credits to purchase any Nespresso product (coffee, accessories or a machine) in store or online. 

There will be no changes applied to your normal Nespresso membership. This change is only related to your Coffee Subscription which will be ended and no further payments taken. 

At this stage there are no plans. We encourage you to explore the benefits of our Recurring Coffee Plan for the most convenient and rewarding Nespresso experience.

We're sorry your recent order is taking longer than usual to arrive. At Nespresso we pride ourselves on exceptional delivery and service and as you will be aware there are service delays across the board which we just can’t avoid. This is due to more people buying online, labour shortages and transportation strikes, all contributing to an immense pressure on national and local delivery services. This essentially means less people to deliver more orders across the country.

Please be assured the Nespresso teams are rallying to get your order to you as quickly as possible. And because innovation is in our DNA, we have implemented new delivery services for our customers. Check out the 'Delivery Services' page to see what delivery options are available for your address.

Please note, technical assistance is not offered at our Boutiques.

You can follow the tips below to prevent your Aeroccino from overflowing: Remember there are two maximum fill lines. Fill the milk no higher than the bottom maximum fill line when you use the frothing whisk (the whisk with the coil). Fill the milk no higher than the top maximum fill line when you use the hot milk whisk (the whisk without the coil). Experiment with different brands and types of milk. While any type of milk in Nespresso may be used in your Aeroccino, the froth results will depend on the protein content of the milk used and are not always guaranteed for milk alternatives. For best results, ensure that you are using refrigerated milk, and that the frother has been thoroughly cleaned out and cooled down between uses.

If the red light on your Aeroccino is flashing continually and the heating cycle stops prematurely, it means that your Aeroccino has detected that it is heating up too quickly.

This may be due to a number of factors; you can find some of these below with recommended steps.

Using the Aeroccino again immediately after first use: The Aeroccino has a safety thermostat that stops the spinning and heating of milk if the temperature is too high. This is to prevent it from burning out. It must be rinsed with cold water, cleaned and allowed to cool before using again.

Traces of milk left in the Aeroccino: The Aeroccino must be thoroughly cleaned after each use. If traces of milk are left inside the Aeroccino, it will cause it to heat up faster than intended and stop heating and spinning earlier. This will result in the button flashing red. . We recommend cleaning your Aeroccino thoroughly with cool water and a Teflon-approved or non-stick scourer after every use. It is advised to also rinse the whisk used, to remove any milk residue.

You can find instructions and video guidance on the Machine Assistance page.

If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 1800 623 033 (toll-free, 24/7).

There are a number of reasons why the whisks may not be spinning. This can be evident by no movement of the milk in your Aeroccino, or a whisk that comes loose from the inside of the unit.

To ensure your Aeroccino whisks are working sufficiently, please conduct this test:

1. Place the cappuccino (or frothing) whisk into your Aeroccino.
2. Fill with cold water until the water covers the whisk.
3. Press the button to start the Aeroccino and ensure the light shines red.
4. Check to see whether the water is spinning in a whirlpool formation and is heating.

If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 1800 623 033 (toll-free, 24/7).

The amount of froth produced is dependent on the amount of protein present in your milk of choice. The protein content can vary between batches of milk, meaning that one bottle of milk may produce a different level of froth to another. This can also vary seasonally - most notably during the warmer months.

There are a couple of things we recommend trying if you are having inconsistent froth levels.

• Ensure your Aeroccino is functioning correctly - whisks spin, milk heats and red light does not flash. If your Aeroccino is still spinning and heating, then it is unlikely that there are any problems with the mechanics of your Aeroccino. If the whisks do not spin, or come loose, please contact Nespresso directly for advice.
• Trial with UHT or ‘long-life’ cow (dairy) milk. This type of milk has stable protein levels, and will provide an indication of whether it is an issue with the milk or the Aeroccino.
• Where possible, use cold and fresh dairy milk from 4-6°C.

You can find instructions and video guidance on the Machine Assistance page.

If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 1800 623 033 (toll-free, 24/7).

The marks you are experiencing are the result of a build-up of milk proteins over the heating element. To ensure your Aeroccino works optimally, we suggest removing it.

We recommend the following steps:

• Use cool water and a Teflon-approved (or non-stick) scourer on the inside surface of your Aeroccino to remove the patches of milk residue
• Clean the inside of your Aeroccino, as above, after every use to ensure it remains free from permanent marks and scratches

You can find instructions and video guidance on the Machine Assistance page. 

If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 1800 623 033 (toll-free, 24/7).

The serial number has 19 digits and starts with 17..., 18..., 19..., 20... or 21... depending on the year of production. You will find the serial number (according to the machine model) on the drip tray, underneath the machine beneath the barcode and/or on the machine's reverse side on a silver sticker. Mostly there is an additional sticker on the packaging.

The brewing temperature inside a Nespresso machine is around 83-86°C for Original and 73-83°C for Vertuo.

This ensures optimal extraction of the coffee aromas without burning the coffee. It also makes sure that you are able to enjoy your coffee right away.

Nespresso coffee is meant to be enjoyed immediately after brewing, which is why it keeps a lower temperature than for example, filter coffee.

If you find the coffee not hot enough, there are a few things to think about:

• Preheat the cup with hot water. A cold coffee cup cools the coffee quickly.
• Do you use milk in the coffee? Keep in mind that cold milk cools the coffee as well, please warm the milk before - if you have an Aeroccino or milk foam function on your Nespresso machine - both heat and foam the milk with a simple push of a button.
• Using a spoon in your coffee can also help to cool down quickly.

If you haven't descaled your machine recently, this could also affect the brewing temperature. Descaling kits can be purchased online here and you will find instructions for descaling here.

Sometimes the pressure in the machine decreases over time, and this may effect the temperature. By brewing approx. 5 Lungo cups with only water (no capsule) this will help the machine to build the pressure again.

You can access a range of Machine Assistance videos on our website. These are guided tutorials for the use and care of your Nespresso machine.

Generally, we recommend that you:

• Eject the capsule after each use
• Run water through the machine before and after each use
• Rinse the water tank once a day and do not place the water tank in the dishwasher
• Regularly empty and rinse the capsule container
• Regularly empty and rinse the drip tray
• Descale your machine as required

For further assistance on models that are not available on the Machine Assistance page, please refer to your user manual or contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 1800 623 033 (24/7) or contact us. We’ll be happy to assist you.

To ensure that your Nespresso machine is running smooth with a good flow and gives perfect taste and temperature we highly recommend that you descale your machine regularly. This is imperative if you have a machine with steam function as hot water binds limescale fast and can impact not only coffee flow and taste but also the quality of milk foam. 

You should descale your machine after 400- 600 capsules or at least three times a year.

If you have an Original Line machine you can set the water hardness to match the water quality in your area and the machine will then alert you when its time for a maintenance. 

Vertuo Line machines do not need a water hardness setting, they will alert you automatically. 

Make sure you always use the Nespresso descaling kit that is suited for your machine. 

Instructions on how to descale your machine can be found here. 

Descale kits can be purchased here or in a boutique. 

You can order Spare Parts either online or by calling us.

Over the phone, we can help with additional part purchases, as well as troubleshooting your machine if you are experiencing technical issues. You can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1800 623 033 (toll-free).

You can also find a limited selection of Spare Parts online here. It is best to read the full description of the part to ensure you are purchasing the correct part for your machine model. If you cannot find the part you need, give us a call on the abovementioned number and we can help.

Nespresso does not produce varying voltage machines. All machines manufactured and sold through Nespresso Australia operate at 220 - 240V and 50-60Hz and cannot be adjusted.

If you would like to use your machine in another country, you will need to ensure you use an appropriate adaptor and potentially a transformer. We cannot guarantee your machine will function as intended if the country you are in does not satisfy the voltage and hertz conditions.

For best results, we strongly recommend purchasing your Nespresso machine in the country in which it will be used.

All Original Nespresso machines have an Espresso (small) and Lungo (large) cup button. They should pour your coffee to 40ml and 110ml, respectively. If the pour volumes on your machine are different to this, the cup size settings may have been changed or the machine may need to be descaled.

Your step-by-step Machine Assistance Service video guides for resetting and descaling machines are available here.

If you need any further assistance, please contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 1800 623 033 (available 24/7) we’ll be happy to assist you.

As a first step to resolve any technical issues, please check our Machine Assistance page and select your machine type.

If the issue persists, please contact us for further troubleshooting by either using our Live Chat function or you may also call us on our 24 hour toll free number: 1800 623 033. All our machines come with a two year repair warranty.

Please note, technical assistance is not offered at our Boutiques.

Firmware update: If you recently connected your machine to the Nespresso App, it might be going through a firmware update. Restart the machine by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet. After 10 seconds, plug the machine back and wait 3 minutes until the light becomes steady.

If problem persists, please contact our toll-free number 1800 623 033, so we can better assist.

The best way to quickly troubleshoot your machine alerts is via the Nespresso App. See our Machine Assistance page for pairing assistance. Once your machine is connected to the Wifi, your phone will automatically receive notifications about what to do when an issue occurs.

Here are the most common alerts:

• Unlocked machine: Your machine will not run if not properly closed. Make sure when locking it, to push the lever all the way to the left until it clicks.
• Empty water tank: Make sure the water tank has enough water before starting brewing.
• Eject previous capsule: For quality purposes, Vertuo Next will always require you to eject the previous capsule before brewing the next cup. If you simply wish to top up your coffee, you can do so by pushing the coffee button a second time within 30 seconds after brew.
• Blocked brew unit: The upper part of the brew unit that punctures the capsules may be blocked. Open the head of the machine and carefully try to spin the top round area to make sure it moves in both directions. Once moving, try brewing again.
• Capsule not recognized: Perform a cleaning procedure twice to ensure that there is no residue in the capsule recognition. See this video for cleaning instructions.
• Electronic error: Restart the machine by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet and plug back after 10 seconds. If problem persists, perform factory reset. See our this video for factory reset instructions.
• Descale needed: For optimal performance, your machine must be descaled every 3 months. See this video for descaling instructions.

If problem persists, please contact our toll-free number 1800 623 033, so we can better assist.

1. Login to your Nespresso.com account, then click here and delete the Vertuo Next from your registered machines.
2. Factory reset the machine (refer to the machine assistance page for instructions).
3. Make sure the machine is plugged in and turned on. The machine will power off after 2 minutes of inactivity so make sure the machine stays on.
4. Go to your phone Bluetooth settings and unpair the machine if present. (Click here for iOS instructions or here for Android instructions.)
5. Make sure your phone software is up-to-date and your Nespresso App is the most recent version.
6. Make sure Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Location Services are all turned on.
7. Place your smart device directly on top of the machine with no obstructions.
8. Launch the Nespresso App, and attempt pairing again.
9. Remember that the machine needs to be on throughout the pairing process and connecting to Wi-Fi. If it powers off, turn it back on.

The unique locking mechanism on the Vertuo Next secures that the capsule stays in place. During the brewing process the capsule can spin up to 4000 rpm.

Therefore it is imperative to always make sure that the handle is fully locked before starting a brew. If this is not done the button will blink orange 2 x and the machine cannot be started. As you see on the picture you need to move the handle passed the lock icon to secure this.

The message you received is due to quality checks during manufacturing. We assure you that your machine is brand new and was not used before you. We ask you to perform a factory reset by following these steps:

1. Open and close machine head.
2. Leave the lever in the unlocked position.
3. Press and release the button to turn the machine ON, and wait for a steady white light.
4. Quickly press the button 5 times in 3 seconds. The button will blink 5 times orange and then will change to steady white.
5. Now you can pair the machine again.

Our bulk recycling initiative has been developed to support workplaces and community locations that want to become a recycling point for Nespresso used aluminium capsules, provided they are a Club Member or a Nespresso Professional customer.

A company or community group, such as a school, can decide to provide a collection point to its employees or community. A strata manager could also offer this to tenants. Our Nespresso Professional customers can also use it to collect their own capsules and make the recycling option available to their employees and customers.

As part of the initiative, Nespresso provide a free recycling kit and covers the cost of returning the used aluminium capsules.

To take part in this initiative Nespresso Club Members can call 1800 623 033 (AU toll free, 24/7).

Nespresso Professional Customers can conact us here.

We source more than 80% of our coffee through the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, developed in 2003 with the Rainforest Alliance in order to meet our need for securing the highest quality coffee in the world, while focusing on environmental sustainability and farmer welfare. The core of our commitment to sustainability and farmer welfare is built around this program and we currently work with more than 70,000 farmers across 12 countries.

Many of the positives of the Fairtrade scheme – such as farmers working in co-operatives, being close to the final buyers, a price that allows for fair labour practices – are also part of our AAA Program, which also includes environmental, crop quality improvement and a premium above market price.

Because our capsules have used coffee grounds, we needed to find partners that are familiar with handling organic waste. Florists have experience in dealing with organic waste from flowers, so they are a perfect fit. They are also generally located in convenient locations, which give you easily accessible options to recycle your used Nespresso aluminium capsules.

Yes. Apart from being the best material to keep our coffee fresh, aluminium is also infinitely recyclable.

You can explore which recycling option suits you best here.

There are currently four ways of recycling your used Nespresso Original and Vertuo range aluminium capsules.

• Participate in our bulk recycling collection initiative where workplaces or community locations can become a recycling point
• Return your used aluminium capsules to a Nespresso Boutique
• Drop them off at a participating florist collection point
• Post your used capsules back to Nespresso using a special Australia Post satchel

You can explore which recycling option suits you best here.

Yes, the Australia Post Recycling Satchel is recyclable and Nespresso recycles all returned Australia Post satchels.

Yes, you can pass your Nespresso machine to us for recycling. You just need to have your machine registered on your membership including the machine model, 19 digit serial number, purchase date and point of sale. You can then reach out to us on 1800 623 033 for the next steps.

Nespresso has chosen aluminium as packaging material for its exceptional ability to preserve the content and protect against external impact, as well as the fact that aluminium is infinitely recyclable.

Thanks to the fact that we use aluminium, we do not need any additional packaging around the capsule, which makes it easier to transport.

The Nespresso capsules are internally covered with a food-approved protective film that prevents the coffee from coming into contact with the aluminium. Nespresso Quality Managements tests show that our product and packaging meet and exceed the strictest regulatory standards in the world.

Nepresso Recycling Bags and Australia Post Recycling Satchels can be purchased on our website here, in all Boutiques and via the Nespresso Club by calling 1800 623 033.

While we will not comment on specific innovations at this time regarding the creation of a reusable or biodegradable capsule, we are constantly looking for optimal solutions that will continue to ensure the integrity and quality of our product.

Nespresso uses aluminium for its capsules because it is infinitely recyclable and we have found that it is the best material available to protect our coffee quality. Recycled aluminium capsules have an equivalent and often better environmental footprint than properly composted biodegradable plastic capsules.

No. Unfortunately, there are some products that Australia’s domestic waste systems cannot process. Due to this, Nespresso aluminium capsules currently cannot be recycled in domestic bins. To ensure everyone has access to a recycling option, we have implemented our own nationwide recycling program in Australia.

Find the most convenient recycling option for you here.

Nespresso established a dedicated recycling program specifically for recycling capsules made from aluminium. For non-Nespresso capsules, we suggest you contact your capsule manufacturer to enquire about the recycling options they offer to their customers.

Thank you for participating in recycling and working to create a more sustainable coffee culture. At this time, we’re only able to offer this to florists and garden centres who are part of the Nespresso recycling program.

However, we do encourage you to spread the word about being a recycling point through other means. For example, you may want to post on a community Facebook page or put up a notice in community centres.

Each Nespresso capsule is created to be extracted at a certain level. Past that, it will stop producing flavour and start to burn – meaning your coffee will taste bitter.

To help you extract at the recommended level every time, Original coffee capsules have the recommended extraction size shown on the coffee sleeve.

Vertuo coffee capsules make it even easier to extract at the best size. The capsules have a barcode that is read by the Vertuo machines to set the correct extraction size.

Over-extraction can put excess pressure on your machine’s pump and may make it necessary for you to descale your machine more often. You may also find granules of coffee poured into your cup, which will affect the character profile of the blend.

We recommend descaling and using a new toothbrush on the pyramid plate to remove the build-up of coffee grinds.

For more information on maintenance, you can view guided videos on our Machine Assistance page.

Nespresso's company policy is that we do not price match other retail outlets. 

All Nespresso machines have a 2 year factory warranty regardless of the store of purchase. Ensure your machine is registered on your Nespresso account for warranty purposes. 

In 2020, we launched our first organic coffee, Peru Organic in the Vertuo Line, and we look forward to offering more organic options in the future.

We now source more than 80% of our coffee through the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, developed in 2003 with the Rainforest Alliance in order to meet our need for securing the highest quality coffee in the world, while focusing on environmental sustainability and farmer welfare. The core of our commitment to sustainability and farmer welfare is built around this program and we currently work with more than 70,000 farmers across 12 countries.

We encourage farmers to use organic material whenever possible, and work with the Rainforest Alliance through our AAA Program to provide trainings to farmers on sustainable farming methods.

Nespresso believes that the holistic approach of our AAA Program is the most sustainable way to grow our highest quality coffee, especially for smallholder coffee farmers.

Find out more about the choices we make to achieve Sustainable Quality.

To provide our Members with the highest quality coffee cup after cup, Nespresso has a strict and rigorous selection process: only a small proportion of coffee production meets Nespresso's quality standards. Throughout the year, Nespresso coffee experts and their coffee supplier partners ensure these high quality standards by actively seeking those coffees grown in farming communities in the main coffee producing areas of the world. These are often remote regions, where the combination of altitude, climate and rich soil produces the distinctive flavors, aromas and complex character that make up Nespresso coffees.

Yes. All Nespresso coffees including the Vertuo range are compliant with Muslim and Jewish religious requirements, and are thus Halal and Kosher certified, respectively.

In keeping with Kosher certification, the coffees without flavours are “Passover” certified and coffees with flavours are "Parve" certified.

Nespresso coffee is decaffeinated using two different processes.

The first is the water decaffeination process which uses water to remove the caffeine. The second is the carbon dioxide process. In this process the green coffee is soaked in water after which carbon dioxide (one of the key constituents of air) is used to extract the caffeine.

All of our decaffeinated products are tested and must contain less than 0.1% residual caffeine. Caffeine content is checked in green coffee, in roasted coffee and in the finished product.

The processes respect the coffee bean’s true nature, allowing us to maintain the strength, variety and richness of its aromas.

You can discover our decaffeinated coffee blends here.

Nespresso machines are certified as having no BPA.

There is no BPA in direct contact with the roast and ground coffee within Nespresso capsules across all ranges.

If you are a new Nespresso Member, you can benefit from a Welcome Gift on either your first, second or third capsule order. The Welcome Gift has been created to introduce you to the world of Nespresso coffee blends and allows you to choose an assortment of 100 capsules with a complimentary gift.

You can receive the Welcome Gift online when logged in with your new membership. It is also available in our Boutiques or by contacting us on (toll-free) 1800 623 033. 

The amount of caffeine is different for each coffee and depends on two factors: the proportion of Robusta in the blend (Robusta contains twice as much caffeine as Arabica), and the quantity of ground coffee used to prepare the cup.

The caffeine concentration depends partly on the amount of coffee used to prepare the coffee, and the variety of green coffee used in the capsule. The Robusta origin contains an average of 2.4% whereas the Arabica origins contain approx. 1.2% of caffeine. Decaf capsules contain less than 0.1% of caffeine. On average, a Nespresso Original Line coffee contains between 50 mg and 90 mg of caffeine/cup.

The original Nespresso capsules and the genuine Nespresso machines are designed to work together as a single system to deliver the perfect cup of coffee. Only the interaction of our genuine capsules and the genuine Nespresso machine's brewing unit can guarantee the in-cup quality that Nespresso is known for. 

Whilst we cannot comment on non-Nespresso products as matter of policy, allow us to say that Nespresso aluminium capsules and the extraction through the Nespresso machine brewing unit assures the pressure, water temperature and quantity needed to consistently create the perfect cup. 

No. Nespresso coffee blends, including Variations and the Vertuo range, do not contain any source of food allergens or preservatives.

The flavours for our Variations blends come in the form of a very fine powder (encapsulated flavours), created using a group of aromatic substances. They are added to the coffee after grinding.

The aromatic substances do not contain any food allergens.

Yes. All of our coffees are suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. They contain no edible products of animal origin, dairy produce, birds' eggs or natural honey.

Yes, you can definitely create cold and iced coffee recipes with all Nespresso coffee blends.

From time to time we release Limited Edition coffees specifically developed by our experts to be enjoyed over ice.

To discover delicious, easy to recreate recipes using our permanent coffee range visit Nespresso Recipes.

Our passion is the production of premium portioned coffee, providing perfect in-cup quality each and every time. We don’t currently have any plans to introduce tea, hot chocolate or chai capsules to our Coffee range.

We do offer Limited Edition and flavoured Variations throughout the year that you can enjoy.

You can also explore the Nespresso Recipes site for ideas on serving suggestions and creative coffee styling.

Nespresso partners with different brands for the manufacturing of machines. This has allowed us to create a broader variety of sophisticated machines that suit our Members’ tastes and aesthetic preferences.

All machine models are mechanically identical, with just stylistic differences.

Intensity is how we define the profile of a coffee blend and is based on the degree of roasting, its body and its bitterness.

Intensity does not refer to the amount of caffeine found in the coffee.

Nespresso capsules are hermetically sealed to protect the coffee inside from light, moisture and oxygen.

At the end of every Nespresso coffee sleeve you will find both the "Production date" and the “Best before” date.  The "Best Before" date is approximately 12 months from the date of production.

As the “Best before” date simply acts as an indicator of optimal freshness, flavour and aroma, unopened capsules are completely safe to consume after this date.

It is not our intention to begin selling in supermarket chains. Nespresso’s unique business model allows us to guarantee quality at every stage of the value chain, to offer a direct relationship with our Club members as well as a holistic approach to sustainable development from cherry to cup.

Espresso and Lungo are the two main coffee extraction sizes used with the Original system.

An Espresso is a 40 mL shot of coffee (small cup button) and contains coffee of a finer grind.

A Lungo is a 110 mL shot of coffee (the large cup button). The Lungo capsules contain coffee of a coarser grind.

If you enjoy a range of extraction sizes and coffee styles, the Vertuo system could be your ideal solution. To discover how you can enjoy five different cup sizes, click here.

Extracting at the recommended level prevents over-extraction. You can find out more about this, in the next FAQ.

The Vertuo range is coffee redefined, with innovative brewing technology and unique design for the ultimate coffee experience.

Offering freshly brewed coffee with crema, the Vertuo machine range makes five cup sizes at the touch of a button: Espresso (40ml), Double Espresso (80ml), Gran Lungo (150ml), Mug (230ml) and Caraffe (515ml).

To achieve this range of coffees with just one machine, Vertuo uses three different capsule sizes: a small capsule for Espresso, medium for Double Espresso and Gran Lungo and large capsule for Mug. Pair a Vertuo machine with the Aeroccino milk frother and enjoy a wide range of milk-based recipes like a macchiato or a cappuccino.

Discover the Vertuo coffee range here.

Vertuo is the first single-serve system to brew large-cup coffee with crema, as crema has traditionally been a feature of the espresso extraction method.

Crema is a naturally formed foam of coffee and air, produced during the extraction process. It is a sign of ultimate coffee quality, enhancing the tasting pleasure. The crema protects coffee aromas, sealing them in the cup until they are released as you enjoy your coffee. The crema allows you to benefit from the full aromatic profile.

Vertuo crema can be thicker compared to crema on Original coffee blends, due to its unique Centrifusion system.

Discover more about Centrifusion.

Have a look below through the FAQs on Vertuo Next machines. 

As a first step to resolve any technical issues, please check our Machine Assistance page and select your machine type.

If the issue persists, please contact us for further troubleshooting by either using our Live Chat function or you may also call us on our 24 hour toll free number: 1800 623 033. 

The Vertuo machine uses bar codes on the capsules to identify which coffee is being prepared. The machine reads the code to recognise the capsule and then adjusts the amount of water, speed of extraction and other parameters to prepare each blend and cup size in an optimal way.

Discover more, including a video introducing you to the innovative Vertuo system. 

No. The Nespresso Original and Vertuo use different capsules, which interact with the systems in different ways.

Find out more about the new Vertuo system.

The amount of caffeine is different for each coffee and depends on two factors: the proportion of Robusta in the blend (Robusta contains twice as much caffeine as Arabica), and the quantity of ground coffee used to prepare the cup.

For Vertuo, caffeine per cup ranges from 70 to 150 mg for Espresso and Gran Lungo sizes, and from 170 to 200 mg per cup for Mug coffee sizes.

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.

All our Vertuo coffee machines are equipped with a descaling alert. Although the alert is described as half red and half green in your machine's user manual, the green light can appear to be yellow under certain conditions.

We recommend descaling your machine every 3 months or after 300 capsules, whichever comes first. Over time, water used during brewing may cause internal mineral build up, which can affect the flow, temperature and overall performance of your machine.

You may purchase a descaling kit online, by phone, or in any Nespresso Boutique. One kit contains enough descaling solution for two descalings. You can view this here.

Many Limited Edition Vertuo capsules are released throught the year, these are produced from high quality coffee beans. These are available for purchase in limited quantities for limited periods of time.

We do have three permanent flavoured Vertuo capsules available to satisfy your sweet tooth; Hazelino Muffin, Caramel Cookie, Vanilla Custard Pie.

To explore the current range, click here.

The Vertuo range currently offers 30 different coffees. Nespresso is known for continuous innovation and new product development, continuously seeking to offer Club Members new experiences.

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 30 permanent blends and 5 extraction sizes available, we are confident you will be able to find a Vertuo coffee to suit your perfect coffee moment.

The Carafe Pour-Over Style capsule is only suitable for use in a Vertuo NEXT coffee machine and cannot be used in other Vertuo models.

It is a new way of on boarding and welcoming you to the world of Nespresso, with an offer for a machine of your choice at a lower price. This offer comes with a 24 month contract: each month you will pay a fee. Your monthly fee becomes credit of the same amount that you can use to buy whatever Nespresso product you want and build your own coffee experience. You can use it to buy Nespresso coffee and accessories.

When you agree to the terms and conditions of your subscription plan, you also become member of the Nespresso Club. This generates a Nespresso Club Member number. The Credit is applied, every month, upon the payment of the monthly fee, directly and automatically on your Nespresso account (you have nothing to do and you can check your Club Credits online on your profile at Nespresso.com, by calling Nespresso, or visiting a Boutique).

To cancel your Machine Subscription once your contract period is up, Simply login to your online account and click your name at the top right hand corner. Once the drop down menu appears, select ‘Subscription’ and then ‘Cancel’.

You will benefit from free standard deliveries (on 50 capsules or more) for the duration of your contract (24 months). Once your contract ends (or in case of early cancellation on your part) you will need to order at least 100 capsules to benefit from free standard delivery.

If you fail to pay the monthly fee, Nespresso’s automated system will reattempt again until successful for three consecutive days. Any outstanding balance will be carried forward so the next payment due will be for the previous month and the current month.

Nespresso will freeze access to your Nespresso account after two failed monthly payments until such payment is made. 

If your payment has failed, and has not been reattempted, please contact us on 1800 623 033 or contact us via Live Chat.
