I am currently in the process of moving, so my mind is very much interior-focused. This means naturally I’m constantly browsing for the best deals on everything from sofas to bedding and kitchen gadgets.
As a keen coffee drinker, one of the things on my to-buy list is a new coffee machine. For ease, I prefer the pods so I don’t have to faff about with beans whilst half asleep at 7 am.
I currently have a L’Or machine which I absolutely love but I wouldn’t mind an upgrade for the new house. Whilst having a nose on the Amazon early Prime deals I spotted an offer that is almost too good to be true.
Nespresso Vertuo Plus Automatic Pod Coffee Machine can be used to make everything from Americanos to lattes, espresso, and even iced offerings. Usually £200, it is currently on offer for £88.95, a saving of £110.
The sleek machine is black and silver and has the following dimensions: 9.1D x 13.2W x 12.8Hcm. It can brew five coffee cup sizes: Ristretto, espresso 40ml, double espresso 80ml, Gran Lungo Cup 150ml, and mug 230ml.
The coffee machine comes with 12 pods included. The machine heats up in 40 seconds and features electrical opening and closing, a moveable water tank, and automatic coffee pod ejection. It has an average customer rating of 4.5 stars and more than 2,000 customer reviews.
One customer wrote: “Bought this as a replacement for our previous Nespresso machine – is a very good coffee machine, easy to use and set up. This one arrived fast and is as expected – very happy with my purchase!”
A second said: “Very good machine. I have the same one but bought it as a present for my dad’s recent birthday. Great coffee every time. Can’t go wrong.”
A third customer added: “Everything about this machine is class. From the automated opening and closing. To the coffee taste and perfect drink temperature. This is a huge improvement on my first Nespresso machine.”
Not all fans were happy, with one saying they were displeased to find out that they can’t buy the coffee pods at their local supermarket. The shopper wrote: “The coffee is nice but not as good as I thought it would be, very disappointed that you have to buy the Nespresso pods through their website as I cannot buy them at my local Sainsbury’s, as they only sell the smaller pods.
“I am still to try all of the flavours but rate the Hazelnut one so far as one of my favourites. I would advise anyone wanting to purchase to do the research first!”
Another said the machine doesn’t heat enough writing: “Doesn’t heat it enough. It’s lukewarm if you add milk!”
This Lavazza coffee machine is now £64.99 down from £95. The small and compact machine is ideal for those who have less countertop space in their kitchen. It has a maximum capacity of 4/5 coffee capsules.
Elsewhere, John Lewis has slashed the price of a similar Nespresso machine by £70. This Vertuo Barista Bundle Pop Coffee Machine comes with a Milk Frother and Mugs. You can buy it now for £129 down from £199.99. For an extra £20 you can get a two-year guarantee.
