hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's nespresso video is
all about nespresso virtual cup sizes so as you can see i've laid out the five different
cup sizes that are currently available at the time of making this video which is december 2020
so i'm going to talk to you a little bit about all the different options available in each of
the cup sizes as well as making each of the different coffee sizes for you so you
can see the difference and hopefully it will help you when choosing which capsules to buy
so to start with we have got espresso this is a 40 ml sized drink or 1.35 fluid ounces next up double
espresso which is an 80 ml size drink or 2.70 fluid ounces then we have the grand longo which is
150 mils or 5.07 fluid ounces then we have the mug size which is 230 mils or 7.77 fluid ounces
finally the largest in the lineup which is alto 414 mils or 14 fluid ounces
i'm going to start off with our espresso size coffee for this one i'm using voltesso
i'm going to speed up the actual dispensing of the coffee just so you'd have to wait too long
so this is your espresso size
so we have altizio full bodied and creamy with an intensity of nine dia velito
highly intense and powerful intensity eleven and voltesso light and sweet intensity 4 decaffeinito
intenso dense and harmonious intensity 7. next up we have the double espresso chiro
so this is your double espresso size double espresso chiro dense and wild intensity six double
espresso skuro dark and bold intensity eight and from the barista creations range bianco legaro for
sweet and smooth recipes made with milk next up we've got the grand longo size this one is fortado
and this is your grand longo size lorazio floral and delicate intensity four
arrondio serial and mild intensity six
fortado intense and full-bodied intensity eight decaffenito on tuzo multi and unctuous
intensity four and then a recent addition to the master origins range we have costa rica
washed arabica in hot spring waters and this is malty and sweet intensity 7. ethiopia dry
processed arabica floral and delicate intensity for we're now going into mug size with stormio
and that's your mug size el vazio fruity with a light acidity intensity for intenso deep and dense
intensity nine gornio floral and velvety intensity four melosio smooth and balanced intensity six
odacio bold and lively intensity seven solely fruity and light-bodied intensity too stormio rich
and strong intensity eight decaffenito round and malty intensity six half caffeinato as the
name would suggest it's got half of the amount of caffeine as you would usually expect in the
mug sized drink it's got a smooth velvety texture and sweet biscuit notes with an intensity of five
master origins mastered by craftsmen inspired by the land colombia washed arabica
fair trade intensity five mexico master origin mexico double washed robusta intensity seven
and now we're going to look at barista creations still in that mug size so first of all we've got
the barista creations bianco forte for intense recipes made with milk then flavoured coffees
barista creations caramel cookie sweet and velvety barista creations hazelino muffin sweet
and velvety barista creations vanilla custard also sweet and velvety then now we're going
to make the largest drink of them all and this one is alto and it's the alto dolce
and this is your alto size drink which is the biggest one that they make i've actually had
to use um an iced nespresso cup because it was the only one that was big enough to hold this
volume of liquid and so that is a consideration if you're going to be making the largest drinks
you will need large cups because your standard cup is just not big enough and you can also see it's
got quite a lot of crema on top i've tried before splitting this particular drink into two cups but
i don't find that works too well either because somebody gets the really kind of throttling crema
and then someone else doesn't and it doesn't necessarily work quite how you want it to and
when you're kind of splitting it between two drinks alto dolce soft and mellow intensity for
alto intenso bold character with notes of dried wood and dark caramel intensity seven
okay so these are all the coffees made side by side and i've put each of the capsules in front
so you can see which one is which and kind of compare the sizes there a little bit the top of
every virtual capsule has a barcode on it and the machine automatically scans the barcode and tells
the machine how much water to dispense with your coffee so that you get the right size so it is
really really easy to make these different coffees for me personally my favorites are
the grand longo and also the mug sized coffee i just find they're the ones i'm reaching for
they're the ones i'm making quite a lot um whereas with the smaller ones because i have a nespresso
original lime machine i tend to use that for the smaller coffees and i will also do a video of the
different coffees available in the original line so if you want to see that make sure you subscribe
