Nespresso Vertuo
Nespresso’s new Vertuo System with innovative Centrifusion technology is available in Singapore. Head over to the Nespresso store at #01-204 to 206 at VivoCity.
27 unique blends for different coffee styles from an espresso to a large cup are available. The 414ml Alto capsule offer an aromatic taste that is enjoyed in a longer cup. There are the 230ml Mug size, 150ml Gran Lungos and 40ml Espresso blends.
The coffee is extracted using a patented Centrifusion extraction technology with the touch of a button. The larger than normal Nespresso capsules have bar codes on them. The machine reads the code to recognise the capsule and then automatically adjusts the brewing parameters such as the length of infusion, the temperature and amount of water, the speed of the rotation and the flow rate, to prepare each blend and cup size, in the most optimal way. The capsules are spun with up to 4,000 – 7,000 rotations per minute.
The Vertuo Plus machines are available in 4 different models – Vertuo Plus White, Vertuo Plus Cherry Red, Vertuo Plus Piano Black and Vertuo Plus Titan starting from S$368 and S$438 for a Machine Bundle with an Aeroccino3 Milk Frother.
