Before going on vacation to Italy, I was fine with instant coffee and my electric kettle. I’m not a fan of coffee – just get that sweet caffeine flowing through my veins as fast as humanly possible. But during that vacation, where every hotel room had a small Nespresso machine, I suddenly became an espresso convert. “I’m going to be an annoying espresso person as soon as I get home!!,” I thought. And then I saw how much it cost to do it the “good” way.
After twenty minutes of hysterical laughter, my husband and I found this early Black Friday deal last week for the De’Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker that is still running. At its regular $169 price, I would have been stuck with my dirty water. But Amazon has it for $110, which is 35 percent less. For that price, I was game. Especially because this coffee can do both And Espresso depends on the pods you get. Each purchase comes with a sampler box so you can find what you like.
Isn’t this just a fancy Keurig? Yes it is. But the extra fancy these past few days has been worth it. Keurigs make coffee that, in my opinion, tastes like doo-doo water (editor’s Note: I will allow it) and this gadget produces better-tasting coffee with less effort And Wealth. (My favorite coffeeshop near the office now charges $10 a cup, sob.) I had reservations about the environmental impact of using pods, until I saw that Nespresso has a recycling program. Right now, I’m enjoying a delicious maple-and-pecan flavored coffee, while my husband has just had a double espresso shot. I love it so much, I volunteered to spread the good word and write this deal.
Some of you may scoff. But then again, I am Lazy And this gives me maximum flavor with minimum effort. If that’s you too, I swear. this machine? That’s me Nespresso, baby.
