With the Nespresso Vertuo, you can make 5 different types of coffee from an espresso to a large cup of coffee at the push of a button. The Vertuo coffee capsules are a different size to what you're used to from Nespresso. These capsules have barcodes. The Vertuo recognizes the barcode and uses just the right amount of water for the preparation. The hot water spins through the capsule super fast, so the capsule releases a lot of flavor and your coffee gets an extra thick crema.
