There are ten capsules per sleeve. The quantities online are shown in capsules, and must be selected in a multiple of ten.

Yes. Nespresso Coffees are compliant with the Muslim and Jewish religious requirements, and are thus Halal and Kosher certified, respectively.

In keeping with Kosher certification, the Coffees without flavors are “Passover” certified Coffees with flavors are ”Parve” certified.

The aromas in the flavors used are extracted from natural sources.

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.

None of our coffees contain any GMOs. The quality and consistency of our coffee in the cup and its exquisite crema are the result of the highest quality coffee we source, the way we manage the quality during the whole production process, and the unique interaction between our capsules and machines. 

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

There is no BPA or other types of Bisphenols in Nespresso capsules. Our capsules are fully compliant with applicable regulations on materials intended to come into contact with food (EU, FDA, etc). 

We do not offer syrups or any other additions for the coffee at this time.

Please click here to view the prices of the capsules that are currently available, including any Limited Editions.

• Alto/Coffee : 13g/0.45oz 
• Espresso : 5.5g to 7g / 0.19 oz. to 0.24oz

The price of the Nespresso VertuoLine reflects the innovative technology and the versatility that the machine offers in brewing multiple coffee preparations / varieties with the same, high quality in cup result.

The sophisticated VertuoLine capsules incorporate new technology, including a bar code on each capsule, which facilitates a product intelligent extraction system, allowing the machine to recognize each expertly developed Grand Cru.

The crema is part of the coffee character and as each coffee preparation is different, the crema also differs between the coffees. The crema of OriginalLine Espresso and Lungo is dense and creamy, while the crema from the VertuoLine is more rich and generous.

Nespresso is known for innovation and new product development, continuously seeking to offer Club Members new experiences. We have created several new VertuoLine blends since the launch of the system and will continue to expand the range in the future.

The layer that forms on top of each brewed coffee is a combination of coffee and air called the crema, and is naturally created during the extraction process. Crema is a sign of high quality coffee, and has been a signature feature of our espresso. It does not contain any dairy or additives and will gradually subside as you enjoy your coffee.

As each blend brews according to its own unique parameters, there is no way to adjust the amount of crema that forms.

With all VertuoLine Coffees and Altos, we recommend folding in the crema before drinking. This releases the aromas, alters the texture, and mixes the layers to create a unique and flavorful beverage.

The caffeine content per brewed capsule will vary between approximately 60 and 150 mg for the espressos. Double Espressos contain less than 200 mg. The Gran Lungo capsules contain between 120 and 200 mg of caffeine. Our Coffee and Alto capsules contain 130 to 200 mg of caffeine per cup. The Half Caffeinato blend contains approximately 90 mg of caffeine. Finally, the decaffeinated blends contain no more than 12 mg of caffeine.

The variation in the amount of caffeine depends mainly on the green coffee (Robusta contains roughly twice as much caffeine as Arabica), the amount of ground coffee in the capsule, the degree of roasting, and to a lesser extent, the coffee origin. There is no correlation between the assigned "intensity" and caffeine content.

No, the VertuoLine Coffees are not similar to an Americano. The Nespresso VertuoLine system produces  authentic Espresso as well as large-cup Coffee with an espresso-style crema. This approach allows the preparation of a large coffee with a high-quality aromatic profile, combined with a high intensity and body, similar to traditional espresso coffees, but with a much longer pour. An Americano is a recipe made by adding hot water to an espresso. In the Nespresso VertuoLine range, you will find four Espressos with different intensities and taste profiles if you wish to create an Americano.

While we cannot speculate on any future developments, we continuously innovate across our coffee and machine ranges and always look to offer Club Members new experiences.

Each blend is specifically created (strict bean selection, expert blending, roasting and grinding) for the best interplay and harmony with the extraction parameters produced by the VertuoLine machines. As these parameters differ from those of the OriginalLine, it makes sense that the blends are different as well.

Yes, the Alto capsules are compatible with all VertuoLine machines. The machine will read the barcode on the capsule and automatically adjust the brew size.

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 infinitely 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.

Each blend is specifically created (strict bean selection, expert blending, roasting and grinding) for the best interplay and harmony with the brewing parameters produced by the VertuoLine machines. As these parameters differ from those of the OriginalLine, it makes sense that the blends are different as well.

Please click here to view the prices of the capsules that are currently available, including any Limited Editions.

All coffees are relatively low in physical acidity; the physical acidity is not the same as the acidity perceived by taste buds.

The Nespresso Coffees have an average pH level of 5.0. There is no specific high- or low-level acid coffee in our range.

In order to ensure the high level of quality our customers expect, our capsules are sold through Nespresso directly – online, over the phone, and in Nespresso Boutiques. You can find the closest Nespresso Boutique in your area by using our Store Locator. We are actively expanding Boutique locations.

Our Limited Editions are no longer available once they have sold out, as they are conceived as a single crop, yielding a finite supply. 

Nespresso introduces new Limited Edition coffees each year. Please visit us online, on Facebook or on Twitter for updates.

The caffeine content per brewed Espresso capsule will vary between approximately 55 and 65 mg (with the exception of Kazaar, which has approximately 125 mg). The Lungo blends contain 20% more coffee per capsule; therefore, they have slightly higher caffeine content, about 77-85 mg.

Nespresso capsules do not contain any preservatives. The coffee is kept fresh by being hermetically sealed in aluminum capsules, which offer an impermeable barrier to light, moisture, and oxygen.

Nespresso removes over 99.9% of the caffeine from green coffee by using two different methods. In the water decaffeination process, green coffee beans are soaked in hot water in order to dissolve the caffeine. In the carbon dioxide method, the green coffee is soaked in water after which carbon dioxide (one of the key constituents of air) is used to extract the caffeine.

Both methods are completely safe for coffee drinkers. The processes respect the environment and the coffee bean’s true nature, allowing us to maintain the strength, variety, and richness of the aromas. The decaffeinated Nespresso varieties undergo the same quality controls applied to all Nespresso Coffees.

The residual caffeine content in Nespresso decaffeinated blends is below 0.1%, in accordance with all regulatory requirements.

We offer the following OriginalLine decaffeinated options:

• Arpeggio Decaffeinato
• Volluto Decaffeinato
• Vivalto Lungo Decaffeinato
• Ristretto Decaffeinato

We offer the following VertuoLine decaffeinated options:

• Decaffeinato
• Decaffeinato Intenso
• Half-Caffeinato (an 8-ounce Coffee that has been partially decaffeinated)

Nespresso capsules are hermetically sealed; protected from light, moisture and oxygen. At the end of every sleeve you will find both the "Production date" and the “Best before” date.  The "Best before" date is approximately 8-11 months from the date of production. We guarantee that you receive your capsules at least two months before this date. As the date simply acts as an indicator of optimal freshness, flavor and aroma, unopened capsules are completely safe to consume after the "Best before" date.

Nespresso does not have any plans to add tea or hot chocolate capsules to our selection. We offer Limited Edition and flavor-infused Variations throughout the year.

Our foremost priority is sourcing the highest quality coffee beans and providing exquisitely unique Coffee and Espresso to our members worldwide. In addition, Nespresso machines are carefully calibrated to produce the perfect cup of coffee, time after time. They would not be ideal for steeping tea or making hot chocolate.

We offer three flavored permanent Variations each as part of our VertuoLine and OriginalLine ranges.

OriginalLine:

• Caramelito
• Ciocattino
• Vanilio

VertuoLine:

• Caramelizio 
• Hazelino
• Vanizio

In addition, our flavored Holiday Limited Editions are exquisitely designed using all-naturally extracted ingredients, with no added sugars or preservatives. We offer new, unique blends each year.

You can view, test, and purchase machines at any Nespresso Boutique or our authorized retailers. 

Nespresso VertuoLine is a completely separate system from Nespresso OriginalLine. The VertuoLine machines are based on our unique Centrifusion™ technology, an intelligent brewing system that allows the machine to recognize the capsule and create a perfect cup of coffee according to the specific parameters of each blend. Due to this new technology and the difference in size, shape, and design of the VertuoLine capsules, they will not work in any of our OriginalLine machines, and vice-versa.

Nespresso also improved the OriginalLine capsules in July 2008 to ensure the best freshness, flavor and aroma of the espresso. All OriginalLine machines made after August 2009 are designed to work exclusively with these new capsules. Older capsules cannot be punctured by newer machines; therefore only water will flow through the spout.

Nespresso recommends you descale your machine on a regular basis, every 3 months or every 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.

Each Descaling Kit contains two packs of solution and costs $8.95. Descaling Kits are available for purchase by toll-free phone or online via this link.

View our Machine Assistance page for how-to videos and instructions.

Each blend is designed to brew to a specific cup size to guarantee the best in-cup result. Our Alto capsules are designed to brew to a larger cup size (14 ounces).  However, the machine enables brewing up to 17 ounces. For instructions, please check the Machine Assistance page for your machine or call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number, 1-877-964-6299.

Please refer to the factory reset instructions in your User Manual or the Machine Assistance page for your machine, or call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

Nespresso machines do not have a manual temperature control (with the exception of the Expert model). If you have noticed a decrease in temperature over time, please descale your machine. We recommend descaling every 3 months or 300 capsules (whichever comes first).

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

When brewing an Espresso capsule it is not recommended to run more than 1.35 oz/40 ml through any one capsule as this will result in negative (bitter) aromas in the cup, known as "over-extraction". If you are interested in a larger cup of coffee but not necessarily a stronger one, we encourage you to try an Americano, which is an espresso shot with hot water added (eject the capsule and brew a "blank" shot).

Furthermore, you may try our Lungo range. Lungo, which translates to "long" in Italian, refers to a style of espresso which is larger than the traditional 1.35 oz/40 ml size. Our Lungos contain 20-25% more ground coffee. You can thus brew a taller cup of espresso with a single capsule. A traditional lungo is poured to 3.75 oz/110 ml. Lungos are also recommended if you are looking for a more substantial amount of coffee.

Most OriginalLine machines can be reprogrammed to brew to your preferences. Please refer to your User Manual or the Machine Assistance page for your machine, or call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number, 800.562.1465.

It is normal for water to collect in a machine’s drip tray and capsule container during brewing.  Brewing a taller cup of coffee or multiple cups in a short period of time will fill the tray quicker. You will also find a higher quantity of water accumulates when the pump is activated without a capsule in the chamber. 

Your machine may have an air bubble. Air bubbles can block the flow of water through the spout. They usually occur if the machine is operated without water in the tank or has not been used for a long period.

Eject any capsule, ensure there is water in the tank, and then follow the troubleshooting tips below.

• For machines with a steam arm (C190, D150, D250, D290, D300, Romeo, Maestria, Creatista, Creatista Plus) or cup warmer (Gran Maestria), alternate between pressing a cup button and activating the steam/hot water function until water flows from either outlet. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries. 
• For all other OriginalLine machines, press the Lungo (large cup) button, allow it to complete the cycle, then press again. Repeat until water flows from the spout. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries.
• For VertuoLine machines, follow the Cleaning instructions in your User Manual. Please be persistent; this might take a few tries.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

Please note: If a Nespresso machine is used outside the region for which it was intended, the warranty is immediately voided.

The Nespresso machine range is specifically designed to meet precise power regulations for each geographical region. The machines sold for North America operate on 1260W, 120V, 60Hz, A.C. only. When using a machine with these specifications in another country, or vise versa, there is no guarantee that it will operate properly, even with a power convertor or transformer. Machines can be irreparably damaged when used in foreign countries. Repairs are also not available for machines purchased in a foreign market.

Your warranty information can be found at the back of your user manual. To download a copy of your user manual, please visit our Machine Assistance page, select your machine model, and click the link under "User Manuals" on the left or top of the page.

Like all machine spare parts, Aeroccino whisks and lids can be purchased directly from the Nespresso Club via our toll-free number, 800.562.1465.

Froth results will vary based on the variety, origin, and freshness of the milk. Please follow these troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you are using the whisk with the metal coil to create more froth.
• Between uses, rinse the Aeroccino with cold, running water.
  • If not fully cooled down, the device will overheat (as indicated by a blinking red light) and will not run for the correct length of time.
• Experiment with different milks.
  • Different brands and types of milk will produce different qualities of froth.
  • Milk quality fluctuates throughout the year, thus results can vary from season to season and even from carton to carton.
  • We find that UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk produces very consistent froth.
• Use fresh, cold milk from a newly opened container (no more than 3 days old).
  • Milk proteins break down rapidly after exposure to light and oxygen, decreasing its ability to froth.
  • The proteins will also settle to the bottom of the container over time. Shake the container to redistribute them before pouring the milk into the Aeroccino.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

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.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

Your Aeroccino may be overheating if the light is blinking before the frothing cycle is complete. Rinse the Aeroccino between uses with cold, running water. If it is not fully cooled down, the frother will overheat, indicated by the blinking red light, and will not run for the correct length of time.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

The Aeroccino+, Aeroccino3, and Aeroccino4 models have hot and cold frothing functions. For the Aeroccino4, choose a red button for hot milk preparations. For the Aeroccino+ and Aeroccino3, when the power button is pressed and released it will illuminate red to heat the milk. When the power button is held down for 2 seconds, it will illuminate blue to maintain the milk’s cool temperature.

Furthermore, all Aeroccinos are temperature-sensitive devices. The Aeroccino must be allowed to shut off automatically. Lifting the device off of the base too early will result in insufficiently heated milk.

Between uses, your Aeroccino should be rinsed out with cold, running water, until it is cool to the touch. If not sufficiently cooled down, the device may overheat causing the correct length of time to be cut short.

For further assistance, please call our Machine Specialists via our toll-free number: 877.964.6299 for VertuoLine/800.562.1465 for OriginalLine

For stubborn burn marks, fill the Aeroccino part-way with warm, soapy water and allow to soak to loosen the residue.

You can prevent future burn marks inside your Aeroccino by following these easy cleaning tips:

• Make sure your Aeroccino is cold to the touch before using. It's best to rinse it with cold water in between usage.
• Use soap and cold water to clean the frother and wipe the inside of the jug with a damp, non-abrasive sponge or paper towel to remove milk residue. Remaining milk residue can cause burn marks when you use the Aeroccino again.
• Keep the whisks clean to ensure proper rotation and circulation of heat.

While at this time Nespresso does not provide organic coffee, we do offer coffee sourced from our AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program. The aim of this program, created in collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance in 2003, is to improve the growing practices of the farms from which the highest quality coffees are cultivated.

We stand by this program over “organic” programs because we believe that other dimensions of coffee production (e.g. economic and social aspects) are equally as important to producers, their communities and the future development of their farms.

The AAA Program incorporates the “Tool for the Assessment of Sustainable Quality” (TASQ™). TASQ categorizes and assesses each farm in order to determine how to improve the quality of the final coffee product and the socio-economic well-being of the farmers themselves. We are proud to say that we currently source over 80% of our coffee from the AAA program, and we are dedicated to increasing that percentage in the future.

For further information regarding our sustainability approach, The Positive Cup, please click here.

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.
