For an elevated coffee experience, take a Nespresso Vertuo home

Some like it hot, others want it cold—however you want your coffee done, the Nespresso Vertuo will help you indulge at the touch of a button. 

In such a short amount of time, the world-renowned brand Nespresso managed to gain the trust of the Philippine market. It has been decorating Filipino kitchens since it opened its local flagship store last December 2017 with a machine that defies a high-end café experience.

For its first live event this year, Nespresso gave its guests a memorable gastronomical experience at Ember, Greenbelt where chef Josh Boutwood prepared a sumptuous six-course meal that complements the models and capsules from the brand's sought-after Vertuo line.

The Vertuo line has been in North American stores since 2014. It is Nespresso's gift for those who enjoy sipping coffee at home. Instead of the standard pressure system that one might find in regular coffee machines, the Nespresso Vertuo utilises Centrifusion™ Technology which spins the pods as water runs through.

This process creates a more efficient separation of oil and water and forms a thick and long-lasting amount of crema (froth on top) without giving an overpowering flavour.

With the Nespresso Vertuo, coffee tastes richer as it produces a more pleasant aftertaste. Roasts vary from light and sweet Espressos (as seen in their Voltesso) to intense blends of medium and dark (as seen in the Costa Rica Master Origins capsule).
