This may be a dumb question, but I have a Vertuo machine and was wondering if the machine itself recognizes the different size pods and makes it accordingly, or do I need to press the button twice for a double espresso? Or no matter the size, I press the button just once. 😅😅

The machine barcode reader will manage the different size capsules. Your user guide will have further information on how to customize other settings such as volume preferences.
It’s not the size of the pod…😈
Pretty much one button press brewing. The pods have a barcode that the machine read, and they will brew their stated volume as on the sleeve.
There’s also expert mode, where it brews the pods a size down, on some Vertuo machines – Next and Pop, but some might require an update. And you can also set a custom volume with the machine itself.
If not, just buy the pod sizes you want, press once to brew, and enjoy your coffee!
Have you read the manual?
I don’t think it cares about the size of the pod, just the barcode around the lip/edge. But that detail is embedded in the barcode, so the answer is ‘kind of’..
The machine reads the barcode, that’s why grab lungos and double espressos are the same size but have different amounts of water. Double tapping certain machines will give less water to make a more concentrated coffee pod.
