What do the three buttons on the Nespresso mean?
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.Nespresso’s Vertuo machine can make a double shot espresso from a single capsule and press of a button. Just add milk to a Double Espresso for that true café-strength cappuccino.The drink size of each pod is specific to each capsule type dictated by that special barcode on the pod; there’s Alto, Mug, Gran Lungo, Double Espresso or Espresso. But you can alter this on your machine if you want and the machine will store it as a new saved preference.On newer machines (Next, Pop, and newer), double press for expert mode . Single espresso will brew as ristretto (25 ml). Double espresso and gran lungo will brew as single espresso. Mug and new alto will brew as double espresso.

But when it comes to pre-packaged coffee pods and capsules, there’s no getting past it: you simply can’t use them more than once. Each Nespresso pod is meant for single use. Re-using a Nespresso pod for a second brewing will produce a significantly weaker and diluted cup of coffee with less flavour and aroma.
