Original Nespresso pods are compatible with both Original and VertuoLine espresso machines, utilizing organic coffee from Peru that respects biodiversity instead of depleting natural resources with pesticides and fertilizing sprays.

This revolutionary technology utilizes finer ground coffee, higher pressure, completely different flow rates and slightly cooler brew temperatures than typical espresso machines for a short coffee that resembles espresso but isn’t.

What is Nespresso?

Nespresso systems offer a convenient method for making espresso-style coffee at home using compact machines equipped with pre-packaged capsules that make use quick and straightforward. Furthermore, Nespresso also produces an array of accessories designed specifically to match their machines – such as travel cups and mugs.

Nespresso machines differ from traditional espresso makers by employing higher pressure levels to brew coffee at an exact brew ratio. As such, drinks produced using Nespresso may differ slightly than those created via other methods; nevertheless they still make delicious beverages!

Nespresso pods contain enough ground coffee for one cup of espresso, typically around 1.35 ounces (40 milliliters). Additionally, Nespresso offers several sizes of pods so that you can find one suitable to your beverage and preference; there are many flavors of Nespresso coffee to suit every palate as well.

Nespresso was invented by Swiss inventor Eric Favre while working for Nestle at the time. His goal was to provide an easy and convenient way for anyone at home to make high-quality espresso, but without using standard pressure levels. Eric used a rotary valve to set the required pressure while creating a special capsule to hold grounds and water.

Favre approached Nestle initially with his idea, but they were concerned about cannibalizing sales of their instant coffee products. Ultimately he found a partner in Eugster/Frismag; an European kitchen equipment manufacturer which now makes all Nespresso machines.

Nespresso machines range in complexity and price, yet all are simple to operate. Most models feature a small container to store pods, and a spout to dispense the coffee, with one button pressing for extraction process and another for automatic rinse afterward. Once complete, enjoy your beverage! You can add milk if you desire!

Most Nespresso machines are constructed of aluminum, some being recyclable. Unfortunately, mining the metal necessitates deforestation and large amounts end up in landfills; however, recently released models using plastic instead of aluminum could help lessen its negative environmental impact.

What is Vertuoline?

Vertuoline coffee machines from Nespresso feature its own brand of capsules to produce high-quality cups of coffee or espresso that’s simple and quick to prepare and clean up afterward. Centrifusion brewing technology spins capsules at up to 7,000rpms to extract coffee for thick, rich brews that satisfy even discerning palates.

Vertuoline machines produce hotter brews than the Original line of Nespresso machines due to centrifugal force used to spin capsules, extracting flavor from more intense roast coffee beans and providing less acidic cups of coffee than Original machines.

Vertuoline Nespresso machines differ from Original line Nespresso machines in that they do not use a pump to brew coffee; rather they utilize “Centrifusion.” This process injects hot water directly into capsules before spinning at high speeds in order to produce crema, the creamy layer of foam that makes espresso such an exceptional brew.

Vertuoline machines’ more laborious brewing processes may take slightly longer than their one-button counterparts, as each machine typically spends two minutes spinning capsules and prepping grounds before extraction – but this small extra step pays dividends in both taste and consistency of coffee produced from them.

Vertuoline machines are also constructed with sustainability in mind. Each machine features a drip tray which slides out, collecting any coffee that may escape into an empty cup before being recycled or emptied out for reuse. Furthermore, all Vertuoline machines themselves are constructed from recyclable materials for maximum environmental friendliness.

Vertuoline provides its own mobile application to aid with ordering capsules and tracking their status. You can also use this application to find retail locations selling Nespresso capsules as well as locations where used pods can be recycled if your local waste carrier does not accept them directly.

What is Peru Organic?

Laze around with this delicious Peru Organic medium-dark roast and indulge in its smooth texture and delectable chocolate notes with its sweet caramel finish. Sourced from Peru and Fair Trade certified to support sustainable farming practices.

Coffee farming is a key economic driver in Peru, providing 855,000 jobs nationwide and employing more than half a million harvest laborers annually. Coffee has also become the country’s leading export, further elevating Peru as an international provider of quality coffee production.

Argentina lies in the Andes Mountains and boasts an ideal microclimate and elevations to produce superior-grade coffee, boasting signature sweetness with sparkling acidity. More than 75% of this nation’s coffee production occurs above 1200masl.

Since the mid-to-late 1990s, Peru’s coffee industry has also been buoyed by an upsurge in ethical sourcing policies that has promoted an unparalleled renaissance in coffee production across Peru. Small farmers in Piura produce some of our favorite single-origin beans due to its high altitudes and semitropical climate.

Peruvian coffee can either be purchased as whole beans for grinding before brewing or instant coffee, both of which come ground and ready to drink. Furthermore, blends that include beans from multiple regions or countries as well as maca – an herb known for its health benefits – may also be available.

Peru is making strides to promote top-quality production while at the same time providing farmers with financial security, leading to its ninth place ranking in overall coffee production despite many of the four million bags exported coming from small farms and cooperatives that struggle to turn a profit.

Volcafe Peru, Genuine Origin’s sister company in Peru, works to assist farmers in getting their beans to market. Prioritizing direct trade with farmers and offering services that assist them with certification processes (like helping get their coffee certified organic), Volcafe Peru helps create a more secure future for coffee growers while making sure their families remain protected.
