Nespresso has launched a new coffee brewing system in South Africa and its set to change the coffee capsule game. Aimed at those looking for a more premium coffee drinking experience at home, the new Nespresso Vertuo, along with its tasty range of specialised capsules, brings a revolutionary coffee-brewing technology into the comfort of your home.
A new approach to capsule coffee
While the Vertuo may look quite similar to previous Nespresso machines, this new device uses completely new capsules, as well as utilises the brand’s centrifusion technology, rather than the normal bar pressure system found in other machines. At the touch of a button, the intelligent system reads and recognises the unique barcode on each new, larger capsule, adjusting the flow and volume of water, temperature, infusion time and capsule rotation to extract a high-quality dark, full-bodied coffee, finished with a silky and generous crema.

Due to the larger capsules and adjustability of the Centrifusion brewing system, the Vertuo offers over 30 unique coffee blends and single origins in a range of 5 cup sizes for coffee lovers to enjoy. Whether it’s an indulgent Cappuccino for a coffee break, a Gran Lungo after lunch or an Espresso in the afternoon, there’s a cup to suit your craving. The 5 cup sizes include the Carafe Pour-Over Style (535ml), Signature Coffee Mug (230ml), Gran Lungo (150ml), Double Espresso (80ml) and Espresso (40ml).
The Vertuo has previously launched in a number of countries across North America, Europe and Asia to a great reception, so having the machine available in South Africa is a huge plus for SA coffee-lovers.
