Frequently asked questions

Regularly scam reward programs are being spread that are NOT from Nespresso.

These scam reward programs are spread through social media, email, SMS or WhatsApp and Nespresso’s name and logo is used in the communication. In these offers, participants are often persuaded to enter a contest or a game to win a machine or voucher, or give incorrect information about a reward program.  

In reality, Nespresso’s name is misused to collect personal information or to pay for a game or service.

Machine Plus is a Nespresso subscription that combines your coffee machine and coffee purchases into one convenient monthly plan. Depending on the machine you choose, you may receive the machine at no upfront cost or pay a reduced upfront price. Your monthly subscription payment is converted into Nespresso credit that can be used on coffee, accessories, and other eligible products, with any unused credit rolling over for future use. Machine Plus members also receive Ambassador status, which includes exclusive rewards and benefits.

Yes, you will own the machine from day 1 of the start of your subscription.

No. You cannot hold a Machine Plus and Coffee Plus subscription at the same time. To join Coffee Plus, you must first cancel your Machine Plus subscription. Early termination fees may apply. Any unused Machine Plus credit will remain available for 12 months after cancellation and can be used on eligible coffee and accessories.

Each month, you'll be charged the subscription fee for your selected Machine Plus plan. Once the payment is processed, the same value is automatically added to your Nespresso account as credit.

If a monthly Machine Plus payment is unsuccessful, we'll automatically retry the payment for up to 3 consecutive days.

Your monthly Machine Plus credit is typically available shortly after your subscription payment has been processed. In some cases, depending on your payment method and the clearing of funds, it may take up to 5 business days for the credit to be applied to your Nespresso account.

Yes. While your Machine Plus subscription is active, you'll receive free standard delivery on all eligible orders. Once your subscription ends, Nespresso's standard delivery policy will apply, including free standard delivery on orders over $100.

Once you reach the end of your minimum subscription term, your Machine Plus plan will automatically continue on a month-to-month basis. This means you'll continue to receive your monthly credit, enjoy your Machine Plus benefits, and have your monthly subscription payment converted into Nespresso credit each month.

A Coffee Plus Plan is a recurring coffee subscription that delivers your favourite Nespresso capsules automatically, on a schedule you choose, straight to your door. You can set it up online in just a few minutes.

No. There’s no cost to create, modify, or cancel your Coffee Plus order, and there are no membership or subscription fees. You only ever pay for the coffee you order.

The date you set for your Coffee Plus plan is your order processing date - not your delivery date.

You can manage your Coffee Plus order anytime online through the Nespresso website or mobile app.

Yes! You'll receive free standard delivery on every Coffee Plus order of $75 or more on standard capsules and select accessories, along with your 10% Coffee Plus discount.

You've got plenty to choose from!

If an item in your Coffee Plus Order becomes unavailable, your order will be placed on hold and won't be processed until the issue is resolved.

Yes, as a Coffee Plus subscriber you can still enjoy Nespresso promotions and offers.

There's no minimum to set up or place a Coffee Plus order, so you're free to order as much or as little as you like.

Once your order has shipped, it can't be cancelled. Because we aim to get your coffee to you as quickly as possible, orders move through our system fast, so the best way to avoid an order you don't need is to make changes before your processing date.

Your Nespresso order can be delivered to your preferred address within New Zealand using one of a variety of delivery options.

These are dependent on where you are located.

You can view all of the options available to you and their conditions on the Delivery Services page.

Nespresso New Zealand is only able to offer delivery to an address within New Zealand.

If you wish to order Nespresso products for delivery in any other country, you will need to contact Nespresso in that country directly.

Further information and contact details can be found on this website, simply select the appropriate country in the bottom right-hand corner of any page.

Capsules themselves may sometimes be dented even though the package, which contains the capsules, has no damages. Those dents are caused by impact shock during shipping.

The dents may be produced when the capsules are pushed with fingers to open the package. If the side of capsules are slightly dented there is no problem to use them.

However, in the case where capsules are badly dented, please refrain from using them. They may not fit in a coffee machine or they could damage the coffee machine. You can contact us via Live Chat or on 0800 234 579 for the next steps. 

If you haven’t received your parcel within the estimated time frame for the delivery method you selected, there are a few things you can check.

You can track the order by logging into your Nespresso account, and proceeding to My Account > My Orders. Select the order you’re waiting on and click the link at the bottom of the order to track your parcel with the relevant carrier.

At times, delays outside the control of Nespresso can occur but you will be able to see the status of your order with the carrier here.

Check for a ‘Sorry we missed you’ card left by the courier after attempted delivery. This will also advise if your order has been taken to a collection point.

If it doesn’t look like your order is on its way to you, or you would like additional help, we’re available to assist you on 0800 234 579.

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 ice-cold milk, and that the frother has been thoroughly cleaned out and cooled down between uses.

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 0800 234 579. 

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 here.

If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 0800 234 579. 

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 here.

If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 0800 234 579 or send us a message through the live chat on the website.

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 0800 234 579. 

Nespresso Machine Assistance Service videos provide tutorials for the use and care of your Nespresso machine. 

Click here to view the collection.

This collection includes the care and cleaning, directions for use, cup size programming, descaling and troubleshooting.

For further assistance on other models, please refer to your user manual or contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 0800 234 579 or via the live chat on our website. A trained Nespresso Team Member will be happy to assist you.

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.

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

We also recommend you descale your machine on a regular basis by following the descaling frequency in your user manual. Over time, water used during brewing may cause internal mineral build up, which can affect the flow, temperature and overall performance of your machine.

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 0800 234 579 or send us a message through the live chat. We’ll be happy to assist you.

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 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 after a time of use, and this may an effect on the temperature. By brewing approx. 5 Lungo cups with only water (no capsule) will help the machine to build the pressure again.

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 from 7:00am to 12:00am NZST, 7 days a week on 0800 234 579 (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 New Zealand 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 automatic 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.

For further assistance on models that aren’t available on the Machine Assistance page, please refer to your user manual or contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 0800 234 579 or send us a message through the live chat. 

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 toll free number: 0800 234 579. All our machines come with a two year repair warranty.

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

To find out more information about your consumer rights and the Nespresso warranty please click here.

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 0800 234 579, so we can better assist.

1. Login to your Nespresso 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 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 0800 234 579, so we can better assist.

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.

Please refer to our complete machine use and troubleshooting information here , or give us a call via our toll free number 0800 234 579 or send us a message through the live chat on the website.
 

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 Customer 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 Customers can call 0800 234 579 or send us a message through the live chat on the website.

Nespresso Professional Customers can conact us here.

This recycling program is only suitable for Nespresso aluminium capsules.

Yes, Nespresso capsules are recyclable through our dedicated recycling program. Apart from being the best material to keep our coffee fresh, aluminium as a material can be repeatedly recycled without losing its properties.

You can explore which recycling option suits you best here.

We source more than 80% of our coffee through the Nespresso Sustainable Quality Plan, developed in 2003 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 130,000 farmers across 18 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 Nespresso Sustainable Quality Plan, which also includes environmental, crop quality improvement and a premium above market price.

There are currently four ways of recycling your used Nespresso 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 listed collection point
• Post your used capsules back to Nespresso using a special NZ Post satchel

You can explore which recycling option suits you best here. 

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

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 New Zealand Post Recycling Satchels can be purchased on our website here, in all Boutiques and via the Nespresso Club by calling 0800 234 579.

No. Unfortunately, there are some products that New Zealand'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 New Zealand.

Find the most convenient recycling option for you here. 

We’re committed to making recycling easy and accessible which is why we offer a variety of recycling options. If you don’t live near a Nespresso Boutique or florist collection point, we have these options available to you:

• Order our specially designed NZ Post recycling satchel and hand back your capsules either to a boutique or any PostShop nationwide. 

• Become a recycling collection point yourself! Using a bulk recycling box on behalf of your workplace or community is easy – click here to learn more.

• Encourage your local businesses, schools or community centres to become a collection point using the Nespresso Bulk Recycling Kit.

We offer a free of charge collection service to our business customers for their used Nespresso capsules. Upon request, we will supply a bulk collection kit, comprising of three large recycling collection boxes that can hold up to 1,500 used aluminium capsules (both Professional & Consumer Nespresso capsules). You can contact us here to order your bulk collection kit. 

If you want to find out more about the choices we make to create exceptional coffee and a sustainable coffee culture, click 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.

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, our coffee capsules have the recommended extraction size shown on the coffee sleeve.

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. 

While at this time Nespresso does not provide organic coffee, we do offer coffee sourced from our AAA Sustainable Quality^TM Program.

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 Customers 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 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. 

During the year, Nespresso offers a number of limited edition coffee blends, to surprise our customers and allow you to discover new and interesting origins and profiles.

Since the limited editions often consist of very limited crops of coffee, they can only be sold for a short period, and we can not recreate the same blend again. 

If you are a new Nespresso customer, you can benefit from a Welcome Gift on your first order. The Welcome Gift has been created to introduce you to the world of Nespresso coffee, where you can select a free gift when you purchase at least $75 of coffee in a single transaction.

You can receive the Welcome Gift online when logged in with an eligible account. It is also available in our Boutiques or by contacting us on (toll-free) 0800 234 579. 

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.

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 Robusta origins contain an average of 2.4% caffeine, whereas the Arabica origins contain an average of 1.2%. Decaffeinated blends contain less than 0.1% of caffeine.

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 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 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 the Nespresso Recipes site.

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 Customers’ tastes and aesthetic preferences.

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

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.

Intensity is how we define the profile of a coffee blend. It is based on the degree of roasting, the coffee 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 Customers 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 Nespresso 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.

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

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 Carefe Pour-Over (535 ml).

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 and Carefe Pour-Over. 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.

Yes, all the components are dishwasher safe.

When washing in a dishwasher, do not stack the carafe on top of other items or place it too close to other items. Additionally, when cleaning, we recommend you remove the strap for convenience.

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.

The Nespresso website provides a world of information on our coffees, machines and available services.

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 sizes.

Yes, simply pair your Vertuo machine with an Aeroccino or Barista 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 our customers new experiences.

With 22 blends and 5 extraction sizes available, we are confident you will be able to find a Vertuo coffee to suit your perfect coffee moment.
