FAQs
Nespresso Original vs Vertuo: what’s the difference?
Nespresso Original and Vertuo coffee machines each carries unique benefits. The main difference is the brewing technology: Vertuo uses Centrifusion technology to brew coffee, creating a rich crema, while Original uses high-pressure extraction.
Vertuo offers multiple cup sizes from espresso to carafe, whereas Original focuses on espresso and lungo sizes.
Nespresso Original coffee machines use a 19-bar high-pressure extraction system, just like traditional Italian espresso machines. The technology assures each coffee is topped with a dense and luxurious crema that preserves the notes and aromas of each coffee capsule.
With its barcode technology, Vertuo coffee machines offers an extremely high level of precision. The system recognizes each coffee capsule, then adjusts the brewing parameters – such as temperature, crema, flow, rotation speed and water/coffee contact time – to deliver the best results in every cup.
