Filled markers are recorded price or stock changes per capsule; hollow markers are additional archived sightings that confirmed the same local price. A line spans only dates on which the listing kept being seen, gaps mean continuity is not established, and dashed stretches are periods observed out of stock.
Converted to $ at the reference rate of each observation's own date, so every market is what it would have cost you on the day it was read.
Hover a line or a market name to read it; press one to keep it lit, and press again to release. Several can be held at once.

Common questions
What is the intensity of BARISTA Scuro Vertuo?
BARISTA Scuro Vertuo has an intensity of 7 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Espresso (40 ml) cup size.
Which machines does BARISTA Scuro Vertuo fit?
BARISTA Scuro Vertuo is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable.
Is BARISTA Scuro Vertuo a capsule or a coffee pod?
Both words describe the same thing. The manufacturer calls them capsules, and English-language stores also say coffee pods; BARISTA Scuro Vertuo is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "BARISTA Scuro Vertuo pods" and "BARISTA Scuro Vertuo capsules" will find the same coffee.
What does BARISTA Scuro Vertuo taste like?
The published flavour notes for BARISTA Scuro Vertuo are intense.
What cup size is BARISTA Scuro Vertuo brewed at?
Storefronts list BARISTA Scuro Vertuo at more than one size: Espresso (40 ml), Ristretto (25 ml), Coffee (230 ml).
Can BARISTA Scuro Vertuo be brewed shorter and stronger for a milk drink?
On Vertuo machines with Coffee Creations the same capsule brews a shorter, stronger cup, intended as the base for iced and milk drinks. It is an extra mode, not the only one these machines have: a normal cup is still one press. On Vertuo Next, Pop, Pop+, Lattissima and Creatista you turn it on by pressing the coffee button twice — it blinks turquoise, the mode applies to that cup only, and the machine goes back to brewing normally afterwards; Vertuo Up has a dedicated Coffee Creations button, and there the mode stays on until the machine is switched off. The size steps down one place: an Espresso capsule brews as a Ristretto (25 ml), Double Espresso and Gran Lungo brew as an Espresso (40 ml), and a Mug capsule brews as a Double Espresso (80 ml). The machine refuses the mode for Ristretto, Cold Brew Style and Carafe capsules — the mode switches off again and the barcode size is brewed — and Nespresso does not recommend it for Alto or the Coffee+ range. In the rare case that the double press does nothing, try updating the machine’s firmware from the Nespresso app. Older Vertuo models, including Vertuo Plus, brew only the size written in the barcode.
