If you are not happy with the amount of coffee that your Nespresso machine provides, you can reset the amounts delivered.

Essenza／Maestria／Cube／Citiz／Pixie／Inissia／Lattissima machine can be reset as follows: Take a capsule and place a cup under the coffee spout. Press the coffee button and keep pressing until you have reached the required amount of coffee.

For Expert machine: Choose the beverage selection dial you would like to reprogram, long press the brewing button until you have reached the preferred amount. (Americano needs to configure twice as one for coffee and one for water)

For Creatista machine: coffee volume can be changed under each drink setting.

For U machines: Open the slide, put a capsule in the machine and a cup under the coffee sprout. Hold your finger on the button you want to reprogram and close the slide. Take your finger from the button when you have the desired amount of coffee in the cup. The other 2 coffee buttons will blink to confirm.

This quantity will be the saved in the memory of your machine. In future, your cup will be filled to this new level. The programming can be done for all coffee buttons on your machine.

Details of quantity changes for all machines please refer to Machine assistance.

If you press a cup button and no water comes out of the spout, it is possible that the machine has an air bubble which most often occurs when the tank runs empty or after a period of non-use.

Inissia/ Essenza mini/ CitiZ/ Pixie/ Expert/ Lattissima / Lattissima One/ Maestria / Creatista owners can fill the water tank, eject any capsule in the chamber, close the coffee lever and press the large cup button. The auto-prime function will push the air from the circuit. When water begins to flow through the spout, the air bubble has been released.

For U and Prodigio machine user, please open and close the slider few times. When water begins to flow through the spout, the air bubble has been released.

*Please note, we will suggest you to rest your coffee machine for 30 minutes after 5 trials.

For any further information on your machine, please contact the Nespresso Club at 0809 001 886 (toll-free) or by email.

If a capsule is damaged (before or during the extraction), coffee grounds can be found into the cup. Check that a capsule was not crushed while closing the lever/slider. If so, rinse the system and look for the problem, such as:
- full capsule container
- capsule stuck in the capsule cage
- capsule stuck in the extraction chamber

Extraction system opened too soon (during or just after extraction). Wait 2 to 3 seconds before opening the extraction system.

For any further information on your machine, please contact the Nespresso Club at 0809 001 886 (toll-free) or by email.

There will always be some water in the drip tray as every time you eject a capsule, the remaining water from the capsule chamber is released into the drip tray.

Our machines are equipped with an ‘OFF mode’ which means that the machine turns itself off of inactivity to minimise the energy use.

In order to keep your Nespresso machine in optimal condition, if you are using Lattissima series or Maestria series coffee machine, please descale your coffee machine once the descaling alert is on. For machine other than these, you are advised to descale your machine every 1 or 1 and half year. The harder the water in the area where you live is, the more often you need to descale your Nespresso machine. Water residue and limescale can accumulate within the system. It may not only affect the temperature, flow and quality of your espressos but it may also shorten the life of your machine.

Please clean the Aeroccino after each use. Rinse it with cold water and use a soft cloth for cleaning. Never use aggressive cleaning materials because the teflon-cover could be damaged.

1. It is necessary to clean the bottom of the jug after each single preparation to avoid the problem of milk remaining and it is impossible to clean the bottom of the jug (persistent milk deposit).
2. The milk remainders can become odorous. It is necessary to clean the bottom of the jug after each single preparation with a damp cloth to avoid the problem.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the Aeroccino. Don't place it in the dishwasher. Start the cleaning procedure (refer to user manual for description of procedure). Repeat the procedure if needed.

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809 001 886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

The burn marks you are experiencing are a build up of milk proteins over the heating element. These will need to be removed in order to avoid further complications with your Aeroccino. The following steps are recommended:
- The use of a Teflon-safe (or non-stick) scourer on the inside surface of your Aeroccino to remove the burnt patches of milk.
- Cleaning the inside of your Aeroccino, as above, after every use.
- Ensuring the inside of your Aeroccino remains free from any scratches or permanent marks.

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809 001 886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

- If the Aeroccino does not switch on, first of all try a different socket.

- Ensure that the Aeroccino is placed on the base correctly before pressing the ON button. Be aware that the machine device will not respond when it is cooling down.

- Aeroccino might be overheated. Please fill it up with cold water or icecubes and wait for 30 minutes.

- Rinse inside of the jug and the whisk with cold, running water and make sure to wipe with a damp, non-abrasive sponge or paper towel to remove milk residue after each time use. Milk residue maybe burnp your Aeroccino.

- 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.

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809 001 886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

This is evident when there are little to no air bubbles after an attempted cycle of milk using an Aeroccino with the desired whisk attached. Your Aeroccino should have 2 different whisks attachments. One to heat milk (without spring), the other to heat and make foam milk (with spring). To create more milk foam please use whisk with spring when heating your milk.

The amount of froth produced by the milk, is dependant 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. We advise the most effective resolutions are to:
- Ensure your Aeroccino is functioning correctly - whisks spin, milk heats and red light does not flash
- Trial with a different bottle/type of milk

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809 001 886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

Please note that the Aeroccino is designed to warm the milkfroth to the temperature of 60 to 70 degrees only for optimal forth results.

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809-001-886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

Check type of milk: 1,5% fat content, stored cool, package should be open max. 2 days

Please note that 50% milk froth, 50% warm milk is normal.

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809 001 886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

The Aeroccino is a thermostatic (temperature sensitive) device which automatically powers off after reaching a set temperature. It does not detect the amount of froth being produced in the jug. As the Aeroccino is designed to heat the jug and rotate the whisks, it is functioning properly.

Be sure that the correct max fill line was utilized with the correct whisk. When using the frothing whisk, which has a coil for cappuccinos and macchiatos, fill milk to the lower maximum fill line. When using the hot milk whisk for lattes, you can fill it to the higher maximum fill line.

Different brands and types of milk will produce different qualities/quantities of froth. We find that UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk produces very consistent froth. Milk quality fluctuates throughout the year, so the same brand and fat content may produce a different froth in the spring than it does in the winter.

If your Aeroccino begins to overflow, you can safely remove it from its base without damaging the device.

Nudge the whisk slightly; it might be that the magnetism stopped for a short time. Check the function of the other whisk if it's working.

Rinse inside of the jug and the whisk with cold, running water and make sure to wipe with a damp, non-abrasive sponge or paper towel to remove milk residue after each time use.

For the Aeroccino 3, Check that the ON-OFF button is ON (red LED lighted)

If you require further support for your Aeroccino, or any other machine related matters (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809 001 886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

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. Please find below some common causes and resolutions for this:
- 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 in it, the temperature rises very fast and the Aeroccino stops spinning and heating much earlier. We suggest that the inside of your Aeroccino should be thoroughly cleaned with cool water and a Teflon-approved or non stick scourer after every use. It is advised to also rinse the whisk used to maintain the quality of your unit.

If you require any further support for your Aeroccino (including warranty claims), please contact the Nespresso Club directly via our toll free number 0809-001-886 or email from our website. A trained Coffee Specialist will be happy to assist you.

Yes, of course! Nespresso Taiwan has set up convenient return options to make it easy for our Club Members to return their used capsules to us for recycling. Our recycling partners then help us give a second life to both the aluminum capsule as well as the coffee grounds.

- Aluminum is not just recyclable, it can be reproduced in many other forms. Each capsule you recycle can come back in another everyday object – another capsule, bicycle, Swiss army knife, peeler, ladder, window frame or watch case.
- Once separated from the aluminum, coffee grounds can be reused in more and more innovative ways. Today, you can find them in compost fertilizer to enrich the soil of rice fields or even vineyards. They’re also being transformed into renewable energy, like biofuel for buses.

Discover more about capsule recycling >

Yes. After the coffee capsules being picked up from the recycling points, they will be sent to a specialist recycling plant.

There, the aluminium is separated from the residual coffee. The coffee is then sent to an organic farm working with Nespresso to be transformed into compost, while the aluminium is recycled and sent back to the aluminium industry to produce new aluminium products.

Aluminium is the best material available today for protecting the freshness, taste and quality of our coffees. Additionally, aluminium is highly valuable from a sustainability perspective. It is recyclable, and an estimated 75% of all aluminium produced is still in use today. Because its properties do not change in the recycling process, which uses only 5% of the energy required to produce new aluminium, it can be reused in a wide range of products, from cars to computers. From coffee quality to it's sustainable properties, that is the key reason we choose aluminum in our capsules.

Nespresso in-home and out-of-home professional capsules are all made by recyclable aluminum. We aim to provide convenient recycling services to perfect you or your office or restaurant's coffee journey.

If you want to recycle a little amount of capsules, you are welcome to drop-off the used offcie coffee capsules to Nespresso Boutiques or trade corners. However, if your office or restaurant need to arrange recycle service for a larger amount of the used capsule, please feel free to call service 0809 010 682 (toll-free) for our customized service.

Discover more about recycling >

A recycling bag can collect around 125 capsules.

Our capsules are hermetically sealed for optimal conservation of coffee aromas. We guarantee the freshness of consumption for up to 90 days for your order delivery. (*Free capsule testing kit up to 30 days.)

However, the best before date is not the expiry date, as coffee is not a perishable product. This date is recommended to obtain the best results in cup.

After the best before date, the loss of aroma begins very slowly through the vacuum-sealed packaging.This does not mean the perishableness of the product. As long as the coffee grounds do not have contact with air or water, it is non-perishable indefinitely. Therefore there is no health risk if the coffee is being drunk after expiration of the best before date. However, we still suggest you to enjoy Nespresso before the best before date to enjoy the most aromatic and ultimate coffee experience.

Nespresso coffees are very low in calories, with less than 2 calories per cup.

The caffeine per brewed Original Espresso capsule (40ml) varies between approximately 55 and 105 mg (with the exception of Ispirazione Kazaar, which has approximately 120 mg). The caffeine per brewed Original Lungo capsule (110ml) varies between approximately 75 and 110 mg. For Vertuo, the caffeine per brewed capsule varies between approximately 64 and 257 mg based on different cup sizes. To check the caffeine in each capsule, you can see the description on the package of each sleeve or click the Ingredient and Allergens at the bottom of capsules description.

The residual caffeine content in Nespresso Original decaffeinated blends is 1.7~2 mg. The residual caffeine content in Nespresso Original decaffeinated blends is 4~11 mg. The decaffeination processes respect the environment and the coffee bean’s true nature, allowing us to maintain the strength, variety and richness of its aromas.

Decaffeination is an additional step before roasting and grinding. In general there are several different processes of decaffeination. Some of them use chemical solvents and others use natural ingredients: water or carbon dioxide, a natural constituent of air. We at Nespresso use only those with natural ingredients:
- In the water decaffeination process, the raw coffee beans are soaked in water or they are gently steamed to make the bean texture porous. After that by circulating the water or steam through the porous beans, the water removes the caffeine and some other water-soluble solids. The water is then removed from the beans and filtered via active carbon where caffeine is separated from the other valuable coffee solids, which are then returned to the beans. The coffee is then dried after which the decaffeinated beans are ready for roasting.
- In the carbon dioxide method, the raw coffee beans are moistened with water or steam and put into a vessel where it is pressurized with liquid carbon dioxide. Circulating through the coffee, the carbon dioxide draws the caffeine and some other water-soluble solids out of the bean. The caffeine is then removed from the beans and filtered via active carbon where caffeine is separated from the other valuable coffee solids which are then returned to the beans. The coffee is then dried after which the decaffeinated coffee is ready for roasting.

Both decaffeination methods used by Nespresso are completely safe for coffee drinkers.

Nespresso capsules do not contain common food allergens, including dairy, gluten, nuts, soy, and eggs. References to "malt", "milk", or "cocoa" notes are components of the aromatic profile and do not suggest their presence in the coffee.

No other capsule material that we have examined can protect the freshness and aromas of our coffees, while interacting with our machines in such a way as to consistently produce the high-quality coffee that our consumers have come to expect.

In addition, aluminum has the unique advantage of being recyclable. The use of aluminum also allows us to eliminate the need for any additional packaging or overwrap to protect freshness, and its light weight offers transportation and environmental savings when compared to other materials.

Within the capsule, the coffee is separated from the aluminum by a food-grade lacquer.

Roast and ground coffee. In order to guarantee the freshness, within the capsule, ground coffee is separated from the aluminum by a food-grade lacquer.

For all Original coffees, there are 10 capsules per sleeve. For Vertuo Espressos (40ml), Double Espressos (80ml), Gran Lungo (150ml), Signature (230ml), there are 10 capsules per sleeve as well. The quantities online are shown in capsules, and must be selected in a multiple of 10. For Vertuo Alto (355ml) and Carafe (535ml), there are 7 capsules per sleeve due to its larger cup size. The quantities online are shown in capsules, and must be selected in a multiple of 7.

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

An Ristretto/Espresso is a 25/40 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. 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.

Our Limited Editions are no longer available once they have been sold out.

Nespresso introduces new Limited Edition coffees each year. Please visit us online via website or Facebook for updates.

The Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program differs from Fair Trade in that it seeks to find a long-term balance between highest quality - which is the primary basis for the selection of our coffees - and social, environmental, and economic criteria. This program has been developed in close collaboration with the leading non-governmental organization, Rainforest Alliance.

Nespresso has been committed to ensuring that the communities of coffee farmers that produce the highest-quality coffees for us benefit from the excellence of their crop. The AAA premium that Nespresso pays participating farmers is roughly 30-40% above the standard market price for coffee and 10-15% above coffees of similar quality. The program is about more than paying a premium; it is about building a long term relationship with coffee farmers.
