Espresso and Lungo are the two main coffee extraction sizes used with the Original system. An Espresso is a 40 mL shot of coffee (small cup button) and contains coffee of a finer grind. A Lungo is a 110 mL shot of coffee (the large cup button). The Lungo capsules contain coffee of a coarser grind. On a Nespresso® U model, there are three different buttons / cup sizes to choose from – Lungo, Espresso or Ristretto. We recommend a cup size of 100 ml for a Lungo, 40 ml for an Espresso and 25 ml for a Ristretto.If you double tap the brew button on your Nespresso machine, it gives you a ristretto on espresso sizes, a double espresso on mug sizes and a single espresso on all other sizes.What can I do? All Original Nespresso machines have an Espresso (small) and Lungo (large) cup button. They should pour your coffee to 40ml and 110ml, respectively. If the pour volumes on your machine are different to this, the cup size settings may have been changed or the machine may need to be descaled.Descaling your Nespresso machine naturally If you don’t want to use a Nespresso descaling solution, you can make your own with natural ingredients.
