Providing flexibility and convenience, Nespresso's Virtuous single-serve coffee and espresso system features a motorized brew head for easier capsule insertion and a flexible 40-oz. water tank that moves to conform to your counterspace. Offering freshly brewed coffee with crema as well as delicious authentic espresso, this unit conveniently makes two cup sizes, 8 fl. oz. coffee and 1.35 fl. oz. espresso, at the touch of a button. It uses two different capsule sizes - a large capsule for coffee and a small one for espresso. Centrifuging, a patented extraction technology developed by Nespresso, recognizes each Grand Cru blend thanks to a barcode on the rim of the capsule. The brewing parameters are read and adjusted by the machine with no need for you to change the settings. Use the included Aerocon milk frothier to make delicious cappuccinos and lattes with perfectly steamed milk. Plus, a convenient tasting kit with 12 Nespresso Vertus capsules is included to get you started.
