What Makes Nespresso Vertuo Coffee Machines Unique?
BY WENDY LEIGH
Like the original Nespresso machines, the Vertuo delivers coffee via pods that are considerably larger than the original pods, made of metal, and have a round shape.
The Vertuo pods also come with barcodes imprinted on the rims, which are part of the Vertuo machine's unique patented Centrifusion extraction technology.
With up to 7,000 revolutions every minute, Vertuo machines read the barcode on the rim of the pod and produce the correct amount of pressure, water, temperature, and infusion time.
Some pods are made for concentrated espresso drinks with single or double shots, while others produce standard and flavored cups of coffee. The result is a custom cup of coffee.
