Common questions

What is the intensity of La Cumplida Refinada?

La Cumplida Refinada has an intensity of 5 on the manufacturer's scale and is intended for a Double Espresso (80 ml) cup size.

Which machines does La Cumplida Refinada fit?

La Cumplida Refinada is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable. The official store also sells a Original capsule under the name La Cumplida Refinada. They are different products with the same name, so check which line a pack is for before buying: this page covers the Vertuo one.

Is La Cumplida Refinada 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; La Cumplida Refinada is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "La Cumplida Refinada pods" and "La Cumplida Refinada capsules" will find the same coffee.

What does La Cumplida Refinada taste like?

The published flavour notes for La Cumplida Refinada are complex, fruity, fruity and complex.

What cup size is La Cumplida Refinada brewed at?

Storefronts list La Cumplida Refinada at more than one size: Double Espresso (80 ml), Espresso (40 ml), Coffee (230 ml).

Can La Cumplida Refinada 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.
