Nespresso machines may secretly offer an 'Expert Mode' option - understand its functions here
In the world of coffee enthusiasts, a hidden gem has been unveiled among the popular Nespresso Vertuo line. A feature known as Expert Mode is available on certain models, including the Vertuo Pop, Next, Creatista, and Lattissima. Here's a guide on how to enable this feature and what it does.
To activate Expert Mode on your Nespresso Vertuo machine, allow the machine to heat up fully, then double-press the brew button rapidly. The button will flash blue, indicating that Expert Mode is activated.
This mode brews a more concentrated shot automatically, which is ideal for espresso-based milk drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, as it leaves more room for milk in your cup. The brewed coffee size still depends on the pod used, but the shot will be stronger by default.
In Expert Mode, Espresso becomes Ristretto, Double Espresso becomes Espresso, Gran Lungo becomes Espresso, and Mug becomes Double Espresso. This means you can enjoy a stronger coffee experience with your favourite blends.
It's worth noting that the Nespresso Vertuo Plus does not support Expert Mode. However, the smart technology in Nespresso Vertuo machines adjusts dispensing time based on the pod of choice, ensuring a consistently great cup of coffee.
Some users might wish to override this smart technology for specific pods or drink sizes, in which case Expert Mode can be a useful feature. To toggle Expert Mode off, simply double-press the brew button again.
