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 Machine Assistance page for factory reset instructions.
Descale needed: For optimal performance, your machine must be descaled every 3 months. See this video for descaling instructions.

Most all of our espressos contain caffeine within the range of 50-100 mg per cup. This includes Original Espressos and Espresso Lungos, and Vertuo Espressos, Gran Lungos, and Double Espressos.
Based on their Robusta content, the following are exceptions: Vertuo Espresso Diavolitto contains 150 mg of caffeine, and Original Kazaar and Nespresso Professional Ristretto Intenso contain 120 mg per cup.
All Vertuo coffees (7.77 oz.), including XL (14 oz.), have a range of 170-200 mg per cup. Due to its higher volume, the Carafe Pour-Over Style coffee (18 oz.) contains over 200 mg of caffeine per complete capsule serving; because this particular coffee is intended to be enjoyed over multiple “cups”, this still meets our standards for the 200 mg ‘per cup’ limit.
As coffee is a “live” product, caffeine content may vary, and so we are only able to provide a range of caffeine (with exceptions as above) in order to be as accurate as possible. Also, coffees within the same size range can fall lower or higher within the caffeine spectrum: for example, Fortado contains higher levels of Robusta than other Gran Lungos, and so would contain more caffeine than its Gran Lungo counterparts.
Yes! All Nespresso coffees meet Muslim and Jewish dietary requirements and are certified Halal and Kosher.
Unflavored coffees are certified for Passover.
Flavored coffees are certified as Parve.
You can enjoy Nespresso with confidence, knowing our coffees comply with these certifications.
All OriginalLine, flavored Vertuo capsules, Vivida and Boost sleeves are stamped with a production and best before date. The best before date is approximately 12 months from the date of production. Please note that Nespresso capsules are hermetically sealed, safe from light, moisture and oxygen, and do not actually expire. While the capsule remains sealed, the coffee retains its freshness and flavor after the best before date. The date simply acts as an indicator of optimal freshness, flavor and aroma.
As of October 22, 2022 the shelf-life of some of the Vertuo coffees was extended from 12 months to 15 months. This shelf-life extension does not apply to Flavored coffees or Ingredient coffees (such as Vivida B12 and Boost/Go).
We are monitoring our coffees very regularly, and noticed the aromatics and characteristics were stable past 12 months, and up to 15 months. This has been confirmed by our internal quality and sensory experts. The extension of the shelf life meets all the existing requirements of the markets where Nespresso coffees are distributed. That is why our internal quality experts are able to conduct the tests and confirm the extension of the shelf-life from 12 months to 15 months.
Flavored coffees and coffees with additional ingredients (such as Vivida B12 and Boost/Go) will continue having 12 months of shelf-life.

Nespresso recommends you descale your machine on a regular basis, every three 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 packets of solution and costs $10.99. Descaling Kits are available on the Accessories section of Nespresso.com to include with your online order, or can be purchased through our toll-free number.
Nespresso machines do not have a manual temperature control (with the exception of the Expert and Creatista models). 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).

The AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program is a responsible coffee sourcing program designed to ensure the continued supply of high-quality coffee while improving the livelihoods of farmers and their communities and protecting the environment.Built in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance, AAA encompasses three pillars of impact; Quality, Productivity and Sustainability. Quality: Help farmers produce higher quality coffees which benefit from increased revenues and also provide access to new and differentiated markets. Productivity: Enable productivity improvements and assist in farm economic management, providing greater income stability to farmers. Sustainability: Improve the social and environmental sustainability of farming practices to increase the wellbeing and financial security of farmers, and protect natural capital.
Earlier this year we launched our first organic coffee, Kahawa ya Congo, and we look forward to offering more organic options in the future.
In addition to this, 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 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 90% of our coffee from the AAA program, and we are dedicated to increasing that percentage in the future.

Since 2014, Nespresso has developed a sustainability agenda through The Positive Cup, a program that encapsulates a vision for every cup of coffee to have a positive impact on the world. This newly announced roadmap builds on this foundation, expanding on our previous commitments to lower our carbon emissions, and renewing our goal to have a positive impact on the world. Our broader sustainability vision includes our approach to preserving exceptional coffees, building a resilient and regenerative coffee agriculture for Nespresso and the communities the business operates within, driving sustainable livelihoods for farmers, and building a circular business.
For decades, aluminum has been used to protect everyday food products – such as butter, chocolate and coffee – from exposure to oxygen, moisture and light. Because of its unique ability to protect against harmful substances, it keeps foods fresher for longer, preventing unnecessary waste. For the same reason, we use aluminum for Nespresso capsules. It’s able to protect the unique aromas and flavors of our coffees – unlike any other material available today.
In 2015, we piloted a program using recycled Nespresso capsules to make new Nespresso capsules. However, to create a more practical and scalable solution, we have redesigned our capsules to use less material and accept a wider range of aluminum alloys – leading to the 2020 roll-out of the first ever coffee capsules made using 80% recycled aluminum.
We’re even making new capsules using recycled aluminum. Our Original capsules are made using 80% recycled content, and in 2023 94% of the Vertuo ranges of capsules were made using 85% recycled aluminum.
The potential aluminum offers beyond its ‘first life’ is perhaps poorly understood and we recognize the part we must play in addressing this.
Since 2016, we have been running various global awareness campaigns to do just this. Our Second Life campaign is one such example, showcasing used Nespresso capsules reborn as desirable lifestyle products such as the Caran d’Ache 849 ballpoint pen, the Victorinox Swiss army knife and RE:CYCLE – a sleek, urban bicycle co-produced with Velosophy.
B Corp is a global movement of companies doing business responsibly and transparently while maintaining high sustainability standards. The B IMPACT ASSESSMENT (BIA) measures our company’s performance in five areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. A verified score of 80 or over qualifies for certification, which must be renewed every three years.
B Corp certification reflects a 30-year Nespresso commitment to sustainability, transparency and responsible business. We are immensely proud to be joining a community of like minds who share our belief that profit and purpose go hand-in-hand. This certification brings added value for our customers and affirms to Nespresso fans that their favorite coffee brand is doing business the right way.
Nespresso doesn’t just deliver exceptional coffee. We are committed to long-term change to meet the ongoing verified standards of a B Corp certification. From supporting independent farmers’ livelihoods worldwide and giving back locally through volunteer days, to collaborating with nonprofit partnerships like the Ali Forney Center to create limited-edition artist mugs — we strive to preserve a sustainable coffee ecosystem that helps local communities thrive and protects the environment.
In order to become B Corp certified, companies must receive an 80 or above in a rigorous 5 pillar criteria that includes areas such as; Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. An example criteria would be the percentage of employees that volunteer or does your company monitor and record its universal waste production?
