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.

The Nespresso capsules contain only fresh roasted and ground coffee with the exception of the flavoured coffees (Vanilla Éclair, Caramel Créme Brulee, Cocoa Truffle) which also contain natural flavours added to fresh roasted and ground coffee. It is the combination of the Nespresso system - machines and hermetically sealed capsules-, which creates the consistently dense crema and perfect in-cup results.

All Nespresso coffees contain between 40 and 130 mg of caffeine. The amount of caffeine in a capsule depends on the varieties of coffee used in the recipe. The Robusta contains an average of 2.4% whereas the Arabica contain approximately 1.3% of caffeine. Decaffeinated capsules contain less than 0.1% of caffeine.
Kazaar, Master Origin India, World Explorations Cape Town Envivo Lungo and Barista Creations Corto have more than 100 mg caffeine per cup due to their high Robusta content.

If you are not satisfied with the amount of coffee the machine gives you, you can easily change it. Turn on the coffee machine and fill the water tank with drinking water; put a capsule in the coffee machine and a cup under the spout; press the button for the coffee cup you want to set and hold it down until the desired amount is boiled, then release it. The machine will remember this quantity and will brew it the next time you brew coffee. You can change the volume of any cup size at any time in this way.
For machines with a digital display, follow the instructions in the menu.
It is also possible to reset the factory quantities. Please refer to the relevant instructions in the user manual. We can also assist you with setting the quantities via video.

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.
For Vertuo, the caffeine content varies depending on the cup size and coffee blend:
Espresso (40ml): 70-150mg/cup
Gran Lungo (150ml): 120-200mg/cup
Mug (230ml) and Alto (414ml): 140-200mg/cup
Half Caffeinato (230ml): 90mg/cup
