It goes up to 500 mL extractions or so. I don't like it, I think Original Nespresso tastes way better. Of course nothing compared to a good espresso extraction, but for a quick sip it is good enough.

Yes the pods can also be much bigger on the Vertuo. It's much more optimised for bigger coffees a la starbucks. Not for espresso.

But the main point of it is that they were able to create new patents and milk them for their duration.
