Difference between Nespresso Vertuo and Original coffee machine
At Nespresso, we offer two unique coffee systems, the Original and Vertuo.
The Original range of coffee machines offers a classic espresso experience, using high-pressure extraction and the perfect balance between water temperature, quantity and speed. This is the ideal choice if you’re chasing a rich, European-inspired brew.
Alternatively, our Vertuo machines use innovative Centrifusion™ technology, where barcoded capsules are read by the machine then spun up to 7000 times a minute for extraction. The result? Beautifully rich coffee with a high-quality, creamy crema. These are also versatile machines, offering a full menu of coffee styles across five cup sizes. See below for more details.
And both the Original and Vertuo ranges offer over 30 blends of coffee for a full range of flavours and strengths, depending on your taste.
Nespresso Original coffee machine features
The perfect cup of coffee is no accident. It takes a delicate blend of craft and technology to create coffee that satisfies, cup after cup.
Original machines use a high-pressure 19-bar extraction system to release the aromas and notes from each capsule. On a number of Original machines, you’ll also find an in-built milk frother or steam wand, while you can also pair other machines in the range with a separate milk frother for exceptional results.
This means you’ll be able to effortlessly prepare some of your favourite coffees including ristretto, espresso, lungo and long blacks, cappuccino, latte or iced coffee.

Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine features
Nespresso Vertuo machines provide an innovative approach to coffee creation. Each machine in the line uses an intelligent extraction system known as Centrifusion technology, individually reading each coffee capsule and tailoring the extraction levels accordingly.
The unique barcode on each capsule contains bespoke extraction instructions that regulate the flow and volume of water as well as temperature, infusion time and even the speed of the capsule rotation.
The Vertuo line offers dozens of unique coffee blends in seven cup sizes so you can choose a size and flavour to meet your taste. You can easily make coffee recipes including cappuccino, macchiato, mocha, latte, flat white, double espresso, iced coffee and cold brew, and long black.
