They also offer a larger range of drinks and capsules than VertuoLine. If you prefer larger drinks, you'll need to choose the VertuoLine line instead.

The VertuoLine makes use of newer techniques and specifications to give better performance than the OriginalLine. They offer a wider assortment of brew sizes, including 0.85 ounces of ristretto, 1.35 ounces of double espresso, 5.8 ounces of lungo, and 14 ounces of Alto XL. They also have a speedier process called centrifusion that rotates the pod at 7,000 RPM, allowing more water to flow through for better extraction.

VertuoLine as well as technological advancements has also increased the number of capsules that are reusable and also introduced a sustainable packaging system.
