Introduction
If you have a Nespresso Vertuo machine by DeLonghi, you may have noticed that the drink sizes are pre-programmed based on the barcode of the coffee pods. However, what if the default sizes don’t quite work for you? Well, I’m here to let you in on a little secret: you can actually adjust the drink size and water volume on the spot. Not only that, but you can even reprogram your machine to read the barcodes the way you want it to. In this article, I’ll explain how to adjust drink sizes and volume on the Nespresso Vertuo Next by DeLonghi, both temporarily and permanently. So, let’s dive in and discover how you can customize your coffee experience!
Temporary Adjustment of Drink Sizes
Stopping the Flow of Water Early
Let’s say you realize at the last second that you want to change the size of your drink, or maybe you didn’t choose a big enough cup and you want to stop the flow of water early. Well, you can easily achieve this by pressing the one and only button on top of the machine again. Doing so will shut down the flow of water with a bit of delay, allowing you to control the size of your drink based on your preference.
Topping up a Coffee
If you find that your coffee isn’t filling up your cup enough, don’t worry, you can top it up! Simply push the button again after the coffee is finished, and when you want the water to stop, push it once more. This way, you can add more water to your coffee without having to start the brewing process all over again.
Permanent Adjustment of Drink Sizes
Changing the Water Volume and Saving as a New Preset
While the drink size of each pod is specific to each capsule type and is dictated by the special barcode on the pod, you can still make adjustments to suit your taste. On your Nespresso Vertuo Next machine, you have the option to permanently change the water volume and save it as a new preset. Whether you prefer an alto, mug, gran lungo, double espresso, or espresso size, you can alter it to your liking. The machine will store your customized volume as a new saved preference, ensuring that you always get the exact drink size you desire.
Programming a User-Specific Volume
If you want to go beyond the preset options and create a truly personalized experience, you can program a user-specific volume for each capsule type. To do this, simply open the machine head and insert the capsule you want to program. Close the head and lock the machine, then wait for the light to blink while the machine heats up. Once the light becomes steady, it means that the machine is ready to be programmed. Push and hold the button until your desired coffee volume is reached. Keep in mind that you might need to hold the button for a bit longer depending on your preference. Now, every time you insert that specific capsule type into the machine, it will automatically stop at the exact level you programmed.
Resetting to Factory Settings
Performing a Factory Reset
If you ever need to reset your Nespresso Vertuo Next machine back to its factory settings or start anew, you can easily do a factory reset. Here’s how: open the machine head and let it inject the used capsule, then close the head. However, leave the handle in the unlocked position. Now, push the main button five times within three seconds. You’ll notice the buttons start to blink orange about five times before changing to a steady white. This indicates that your machine has been reset to its original settings and is ready for a fresh start.
Conclusion
Congratulations! Now you have the knowledge to adjust drink sizes and volume on your Nespresso Vertuo Next machine by DeLonghi. By mastering the temporary and permanent adjustment options, as well as learning how to perform a factory reset, you can customize your coffee experience to suit your preferences. Whether you want to change the size on the spot, create user-specific volumes, or reset everything back to the default settings, the Nespresso Vertuo Next gives you the flexibility to enjoy your favorite drinks just the way you like them. So go ahead and explore the different settings, experiment with flavors, and most importantly, savor every sip of your perfectly customized coffee.
