"Twenty minutes of maniacal laughing later, my spouse and I found this early Black Friday deal last week for the De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus coffee and espresso maker that's still going on. At it's regular $169 price tag, I'd have stuck with my dirty water. But Amazon has it at $110, a 35 percent markdown. For that price, I was game. Especially because it can do both coffee and espresso, depending on the pods you get. Each purchase also comes with a sampler box so you can figure out what you like."
"Isn't this just a fancy Keurig? Yes, it is. But the extra fancy has been worth it over the last few days. Keurigs make coffee that, in my opinion, taste like doo doo water (editor's note: I'll allow it) and this gadget produces coffee that tastes better for less effort and money. (My favorite coffeeshops near the office now charge $10 per cup, sob.) I had reservations over the environmental impact of using pods, until I saw that Nespresso has a recycling program."
A traveler switched from instant coffee to espresso after encountering hotel Nespresso machines in Italy and preferred the faster, stronger option. An early Black Friday deal made the De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus affordable at $110, down from $169 (35% off). The machine brews both coffee and espresso using pods and arrives with a sampler box to test flavors. The machine produced better-tasting coffee than a Keurig according to the traveler and required minimal effort. Environmental concerns about single-use pods were eased by a Nespresso recycling program, and both flavored coffee and double espressos were enjoyed.
