Nespresso or something else?

[Anonymous]

I had one in the past and it began leaking. I did love the coffee. There are lots of sales on Nespresso machines right now. I’m kind of tempted. What are your thoughts on Nespresso? Is there a better alternative?

I love my Nepresso. I do still have drip coffee maker too, but the Nespresso is what I use daily. Mine makes real espresso, not coffee, which I drink with hot milk in a latte or straight up.
It is much better tasting than the machines that use plastic K cups (like kuerig).
Its on sale now - lots of holiday deals

10 years ago I would have said Nespresso. I dont love their new machines and their customer service is now 50/50 good/bad. The coffee vertuo pods are awful. Learned that the hard way and they seem to be moving away from the espresso towards coffee/larger portions. I dont want a coffeemaker- if I did I would buy a coffeemaker. I like lattes hence an espresso maker. Next time I will just save for a Jura or Breville.

I still love my Nespresso - going on 3 years (bought it at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic).

I, like an earlier poster, make lattes with it. My warm, cozy treat.

Love my nespresso but the pods are so expensive. We were going through 5-6 a day. It’s so much better than a keurig though

Nespresso is pretty good but, as noted above, pods are costly and are also limited in variety. An alternative, which will be more expensive, might be an entry-level superautomatic which allows you to make a range of coffee drinks using any whole bean coffee variety you like, although in general you do have to stay away from darker, oily roasts which can gum up integrated bean grinders.

Why don’t they sell the Nespresso pods in stores? I find ordering them inconvenient and they email all the time. I’d rather just buy the pods at my regular shops (Wegmans, WF, Target, Costco).

I have seen Nespresso compatible pods in both Target and Costco.

The espresso (original) pods are available at Trader Joes, Target, Costco. Even Starbucks sells them. The ones we've been buying are about 75 cents each.

I love the original but don’t like the Vertuo’s coffee.

Wegman’s and Target have store brands. Peet’s and Starbucks have a line, too.

I love Starbucks' Flat Whites. What would be the best coffee maker to duplicate that?

Amazon also sells them. So easy.

I can’t justify the waste. I absolutely love my Italian moka and my milk frother. I’ve had my moka for 2 decades. Still makes the best espresso.
