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

The Vertuo capsules feature new technology: each capsule has a barcode that helps the machine recognise the ground coffee, so that the intelligent system can prepare the coffee in just the right way. In order to be able to make this wide range of cup sizes with the same coffee machine, the Vertuo system works with three different capsule sizes: a small capsule for Espressos, a medium capsule for Double Espressos and Gran Lungos, and a large capsule for Mugs. The different capsule sizes contain different amounts of coffee grounds, the larger the cup size, the more. This explains the difference in the price of the coffee capsules.
