Common questions
Which machines does Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment fit?
Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment is a Vertuo capsule and fits Vertuo machines only. Vertuo and Original capsules are physically different and are not interchangeable.
Is Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment 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; Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment is one sealed portion of ground coffee either way. This site says "capsule" throughout only for consistency — searching for "Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment pods" and "Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment capsules" will find the same coffee.
What cup size is Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment brewed at?
Storefronts list Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment at more than one size: Espresso (40 ml), Gran Lungo (150 ml).
Can Vertuo Explore Recipes 40 Capsule Assortment 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.
