Review: Nespresso Vertuo Carafe Set

If you own a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine, then you might like to try the new pour-over style coffee with a carafe and new coffee blends.

To get started you might like to purchase the Vertuo carafe set including a glass jug, two glasses and some carafe pour-over style pods.

The box contains an instruction booklet, a glass carafe with a silicone lid and strap, and an extra-long silicon stirrer.

The attractive and modern glass carafe easily sits underneath the Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine. They were designed by the internationally acclaimed German artist Konstantin Grcic.

The strap is ideal for holding the carafe and pouring your hot coffee. You can pop the lid on if you’d like to keep your coffee warm or for later in the fridge. The stirrer is perfect to use with the glass and to stir in additional ingredients.

The carafe is made of double-walled borosilicate glass to ensure the right thermal insulation. Did you know these carafes are hand-blown, so each one is unique?

It’s best to use the dedicated carafe pour-over style pods. These make 535ml of coffee, which equals 2 or 3 glasses.

The coffee pods have a clever barcode that lets the coffee machine know how to brew the coffee and adjusts the parameters.

Nespresso has created 9 additional blends to complement their 30 plus blends designed to work with Vertuo coffee machines.

You might like to try stronger double espressos, new decaffeinated varieties and blends which work black and with milk. Australians have a preference for flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos, so you’ll be able to have a go at these at home.

  • New to the Espresso range: Il Caffe (classic Italian espresso), Orafio (warm cereal and caramel notes), Toccanto (candied fruit notes and florals), Double Espresso Dolce (smooth double-shot).
  • New to the Decaffeinated range: Altissio Decaffeinato, Fortado Decaffeinato and Melozio Decaffeinato.
  • New to the Mug range: Inizio (toasted cereal and wild floral notes)

Look out for the popular Nomad travel mugs which are perfect for gift giving.

The Nespresso Vertuo Carafe is an innovative way to enjoy pour-over style coffee with friends or family while exploring some of the new blends.

The carafe set is dishwasher safe.

The carafe set (double-walled carafe accessory, silicone lid and stirrer) and 2 sleeves of 14 carafe pour-over style capsules are available from Nespresso online and in Nespresso boutiques.
