A practical machine for six cup sizes: Alto (414 ml), Mug/Coffee (230 ml), Gran Lungo (150 ml), Double Espresso (80 ml), Espresso (40 ml), and Carafe (750 ml). It uses three different capsule sizes: a large capsule for Alto and Mug/Coffee, a medium one for Gran Lungo and Double Espresso, and a small one for Espresso. Each capsule delivers the finest roasted and ground coffee, sealed in a single serving for optimal freshness. The Vertuo coffee machines utilize a patented extraction technology developed by Nespresso, known as Centrifusion technology. Simply insert a capsule and close the lever. Upon activation, the capsule spins at up to 4,000 rotations per minute, mixing ground coffee with water to create the perfect crema for enjoying your favorite long coffee or authentic espresso. Vertuo features an intelligent extraction system that recognizes each Nespresso coffee. Thanks to a barcode on the rim of the capsule, the brewing parameters are automatically adjusted by the machine based on the selected Nespresso coffee. There is no need to change the settings. This ensures you get the best cup result for your chosen variety – all at the push of a button. Create exceptionally long coffee or authentic espresso with a single button press. The capsule is automatically ejected after brewing. To accommodate different cup sizes and the Vertuo Carafe (535 ml), the cup holder is adjustable in three positions or can be completely removed.
