Your Nespresso machine might have a secret 'Expert Mode' setting — here's how it works
Nespresso's Vertuo line offers a huge range of drink sizes at the touch of a button. Its smart tech automatically adjusts dispensing time depending on your pod of choice, extracting the ideal amount of coffee for the size and roast of your Nespresso capsule automatically. But you might wish you could override that smart tech from time to time. Perhaps you have some XL pods lying around, but prefer espresso-based drinks. Or maybe you just discovered a new favorite Nespresso flavor, but it's not available in your go-to drink size. It's a hidden feature, but your Nespresso machine may well allow you to override its pre-set dosing, and it couldn't be easier to use. The setting is called "Expert Mode", and it's available on a selection of Vertuo machines. Here's how it works. If you have a Nespresso Original machine, the answer is no. These machines will only brew a single or double shot as standard, but some do allow you to change the dose size depending on your preferences. But if you have a Nespresso Vertuo machine, your machine probably will work with Expert Mode. Expert Mode is available on the following machines: The only Vertuo machine it won't work on is the Nespresso Vertuo Plus (pictured above), which is the brand's earliest iteration of its Vertuo line, and doesn't come with the more up-to-date settings. If you have a compatible machine, all you need to do to activate Expert Mode is allow the machine to heat up, and then double-press the brew button. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. When you do this, the button should flash blue, which indicates that you've successfully switched the setting on. From there, your machine will brew a more concentrated shot of your pod automatically. This is especially ideal for the summer months, where you may want to enjoy an espresso-based iced coffee but find yourself stuck with oversized pods that brew a long, hot mug of Joe. It also brews a more concentrated drink by default, which is a win for those who need a strong coffee to kickstart their morning. The size of the drink your machine will brew in Expert Mode is still dependent on the size of the pod you've used. According to Nespresso, the setting is designed for those who want to pair their favorite blends with milk-based drinks like latte or cappuccinos. That means it will brew a smaller shot of coffee in order to leave room in your mug for some steamed milk. The pod will brew as follows: Did you know about this extra Nespresso feature?

I hopped on Amazon and saw this wonderful item!

It works fantastically for easy striding while working. Can't go too fast and use a mouse at the same time, so I've not cranked up the speed.

Promising review: "Had these for over a year and they work fantastically!! They connect very quickly and last for hours! You can hear callers clearly and they can hear you perfectly. The best part of these is that you can still hear your surroundings as well as your caller, thus remaining situationally aware of your environment." —Chris StewardPrice: $124.95 (typically $159.95 (currently $159.95 on Shokz website); available in four colors) A 3-in-1 Anker charging pad for up to 34% off (the lowest price it goes for) that'll charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously, so you don't have to wait for one to get to 100% before charging the others.

You can charge your AirPods, Apple Watch, and iPhone all at once. I got this to use when I travel, as I don't want to bring a million cables and chargers, or my big charging station that I use at home on my nightstand, and worry about it breaking. It folds up perfectly small so you can fit it in your carry-on or personal item on an airplane and not take up much space. It seems to have a strong magnet like other Anker products. I think it functions perfectly, and I am so happy to have it in my travel kit. I got it on sale and I am happy about that!" —SondraPrice: $62.99 (originally $89.99+ (and currently $89.99+ on Anker); available in four colors) A pair of Bluetooth outdoor speakers for 35% off (which is the lowest it ever goes for) that also provides a soft glow when it gets a little dark outside, but you're not ready to take the party inside.

It comes with adjustable guards, so you can choose your preferred length, and the battery life lasts surprisingly long for such a small device.

I've suffered with PCOS for as long as I can remember, and my facial hair has always been my biggest insecurity. I used to pluck the hairs on my chin, jaw line, and upper lip almost daily because of how bad my facial hair was. This device has given me my confidence back, and now I literally don't hide my skin in makeup. I used it pretty consistently every two days or so for about a month, and now I go about every two weeks with touch-ups. I love it so much." —SarahPrice: $65.55+ (originally $109.99; available in three colors) An Amazon Fire soundbar for 28% off with built-in bass and 3D sound (basically the sound moves all around you) because you deserve to be fully, aurally immersed in the cinematic universe that is The Fast and the Furious franchise.

Save up to $126 on Nespresso machines with these awesome Prime Day deals, starting from just $99
With Prime Day just one day away, we're tracking the best Prime Day 2025 deals live. I am obsessed with coffee (I'm an ex-barista and I spend half of my life testing and reviewing coffee makers), so I knew I had to find some of the best Nespresso machien deals. I've rounded up 8 of my favorite machines, including our favorite 5-star Nespresso Lattissima. Our Homes Managing Editor Millie praised everything about this perfect coffee maker, including its fantastic milk steaming and huge range of drinks options. Right now it's discounted by a massive $126 — so there's no better time to get the best Nespresso coffee maker out there. These deals start from just $99 — the entry-level and gorgeous limited edition pistachio Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ — and the might just get even lower for Prime Day 2025. Anything could happen. The most affordable Nespresso machine on this list, the Vertuo Pop+ is also a sight to behold. I adore the pistachio green and cream color scheme; this would look so cute on my kitchen countertop. It's 8 inches wide, so a little larger than the Next machines below, but it looks too cute to pass up. This machine is the cheapest way to get Nespresso coffee — and the color is limited edition. The Vertuo Next by Breville is probably the best Nespresso machine for small spaces. It's just 5.5. inches wide, much smaller than other Nespresso machines. While the water tank is a little small at 37 ounces, it's a worthy sacrifice for a machine this compact. While this machine is effectively identical to the Breville Vertuo Next above, the De'Longhi offering comes in this beautiful jade green shade. It's just 5.5 inches wide, making it perfect for small spaces, and looks a treat thanks to the green finish. Like the De'Longhi-made Nespresso machines, the VertuoPlus by Breville uses "Centrifusion" technology. This tech spins the coffee pods up to 7,000RPM, which creates thick crema and a stronger coffee flavor. This machine also has a 60-ounce water tank, which is enough for tons of drinks. The Vertuo Plus can make four drinks: espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, and coffee. As with the pricier Nespresso De'Longhi machines below, the entry-level Vertuo has "Centrifusion" technology. This model doesn't come with a milk frother, but it still has the same coffee brewing tech of pricier machines. It also has a huge waste bin — it can hold up to 13 capsules! Like other De'Longhi-made Nespresso machines, the Vertuo Plus has "Centrifusion" technology, which rotates the coffee pod at 7,000RPM for thick crema. This machine automatically alters water, temperature, and spin speed based on each individual pod. Each Vertuo pod has a barcode that the Vertuo Plus reads and adapts its brewing tech for. This is a really unique feature that sets the Vertuo Plus apart from the rest. This also comes with the Nespresso Aeroccino, so you're technically getting another product for free. The Vertuo Plus and Vertuo Plus Deluxe are almost identical. The main difference is that the Deluxe (this one) has a larger water tank, so would be better for bigger families, or those who drink more coffee than average. Or those who simply want to refill the water tank as little as possible. We awarded the Lattissima a perfect 5-stars in our review last year. The most premium offering on this list, the Vertuo Lattissima by De'Longhi is discounted by $126 right now. What makes it so premium? The Lattissima has a built-in milk system. This milk system froths and heats milk for you, so you don't need to get a separate milk frother or microwave your milk. The milk carafe can even be stored in the fridge between uses. This is by far the best option for serious coffee lovers who don't want to deal with the hassle of an espresso machine.

‘I found a way to copy Starbucks' viral iced pistachio latte recipe for under £1 at home'
I made my own version of Starbucks' iced pistachio latte (Image: Laura Mulley) Ever since Dubai chocolate hit our social media feeds, we've been going crazy for all things pistachio – and retailer have been keeping up, launching everything from ice cream to Easter eggs flavoured with the green nut. This includes Starbucks, who launched a new pistachio latte and ice latte recipe at the beginning of this year. It's since come of the menu, but I've found a way to recreate if yourself – and for a whole lot less money. If you have a Nespresso machine, you'll want to try the brand's new limited-edition Pistachio Vanilla Flavour Over Ice original and Vertuo pods, which gives a sweet, moreish twist to your usual coffee.

At £7.50 for a sleeve of 10 pods (so 75p per cup), plus I worked out the rough cost of the amount of oat milk I used (25p), so already you're got yourself a tasty summer drink for less than a quarter of the price of the Starbucks one, which had a starting price of £4.70. You could also make this even cheaper by using original capsules (55p each) and dairy milk. Read More Sudoku 5,983 easy I'm not normally a fan of flavoured coffee but I found this delicious; not as sugary sweet as some of them. However, I wanted to up the pistachio sensation ever further, so I copied Nespresso's iced pistachio vanilla latte recipe – and it took it to another level. The first step was to spread a little pistachio paste around my Nespresso tumbler; I bought this one from Waitrose, and it was hard to resist eating it by the spoonful out of the jar. It works out at about £1 a drink (Image: Laura Mulley) Next up was lots of ice and a splash of oat milk (I bulk buy this one from Amazon), but using the Aeroccino to froth up some more. Once in the glass, the drink was finished with an 80ml serving of the pistachio Vertuo coffee pod, and – wow – what a drink. Of course, to use Nespresso's pistachio pods you will first need one of their coffee machines; the original machines are hard to come by nowadays but the Vertuo is almost always hugely reduced on Amazon – at the time of writing the Vertuo Pop is down from £107.99 to £59. I think this is good value for the quality of coffee it makes, but if you like you can read my full review here before you decide. The Aeroccino will also set you back £79, but I think that this step could be easily skipped. To pair with your new favourite summer drink, go for Lindt LINDOR Pistachio Milk Chocolate Truffles, £13 for two boxes, and if you really can't get enough of the nut, Kayali also does a pistachio perfume: Yum Pistachio Gelato 33 Eau de Parfum Intense, from £28.
