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.

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.
Click yes to return to the FAQ, click no to ask your question.
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:
If you have any further questions about your Aeroccino, you can contact Nespresso directly via our toll free number 0800 234 579.
Click yes to return to the FAQ, click no to ask your question.
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.

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.

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:
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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
