Nespresso provides convenience and simplicity with Vertuo, its single-serve coffee and espresso system. Offering freshly brewed coffee with crema as well as delicious, authentic espresso, Vertuo conveniently makes two cup sizes, 8 fl. oz. coffee and 1.35 fl. oz. espresso, at the touch of a button. Vertuo uses two different capsule sizes – a large capsule for coffee and a small one for espresso. Centrifusion, a patented extraction technology developed by Nespresso, recognizes each Grand Cru blend thanks to a barcode on the rim of the capsule. The brewing parameters are read and adjusted by the machine with no need for you to change the settings. Plus, a convenient tasting kit with 12 Nespresso Vertuo capsules is included to get you started.
