Frequently asked questions

• Why are Vertuo coffee blends different from Original?

  We buy the highest quality beans for both Vertuo and Original coffees. Each mixture is prepared specifically to ensure maximum harmony with the parameters of the preparation technology. Because the technologies of the Vertuo and Original systems are different, it is necessary to use different coffee blends.

  For both the Vertuo and Original lines, we purchase more than 94% of our coffee through the AAA Sustainable Quality program, in which we work directly with more than 120,000 farmers from 19 countries. Launched in collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance in 2003, the program helps improve yields and crop quality, ensures a sustainable supply of quality coffee and helps improve the lives of growers and their communities.
