There is a way to change the setting, yes.  You can do it on the pixie line, too

<p>While using a Nespresso Virtuoline, the machine seems to read a barcode on the capsules which tells it how much water to use.  The high intensity espressos seem to give you a very small quantity (about .3 oz with maybe .2 oz crema).  </p>

<p>I was wondering if its possible to make a long pull with the virtuoline?  Or do the capsules simply not contain enough coffee so it becomes watered down? </p>

# Nespresso Virtuoline long pull vs short pull

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-30)

While using a Nespresso Virtuoline, the machine seems to read a barcode on the capsules which tells it how much water to use. The high intensity espressos seem to give you a very small quantity (about .3 oz with maybe .2 oz crema).

I was wondering if its possible to make a long pull with the virtuoline? Or do the capsules simply not contain enough coffee so it becomes watered down?
