Barista-quality coffee certainly isn’t exclusive to your favourite cafe. With the right at-home coffee machine, you can bring the quality and finish you’d expect at a high street chain to your own kitchen, and right now you can do so at a bargain price.
The Nespresso Vertuo Plus Automatic Pod Coffee Machine is just £79.99 at Amazon right now, down from its RRP of £199.99. This easy-to-use machine delivers excellent coffee every time: simply fill up the tank, insert a Vertuo pod, press start, and watch as your mug is filled with premium, great-tasing joe.
With more than 30 varieties of Vertuo pods to choose from, all tastes are more than catered to. As discounts are available on bundles, you can also get a solid selection of favourites and new blends to try, adding a touch to adventure to your morning routine.
This machine comes with a welcome set of 12 assorted Vertuo pods, perfect to get you started. Whether you prefer cappuccinos, lattes, machiattos, iced coffee, decaf or something more niche, the Vertuo Plus will have you covered. Its pods are recyclable too and, if you order through Nespresso, you can arrange to have them collected by a courier when they deliver your next batch of pods.
The Vertuo Plus has an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars from over 2,300 Amazon reviews, with thousands of happy customers praising the upgrade on their previous coffee setups. “Amazing. Unbelievable. Incredible. Great taste and a truly phenomenal bargain,” said one five-star review.
“I really like this machine,” said another. “The coffee it produces is delicious and feels like something you’d get at Starbucks. Definitely a cut above regularly brewed coffee.” Another added: “If you’re like me, somebody that wants nothing more complicated than reaching for a pod and pressing a button first thing in the morning, and enjoys espresso as well as longer drinks, I can heartily recommend this machine.”
However, some customers had gripes to share – particularly around the price of pods. “Love mine, only drawback [is] the pods are expensive,” one shopper wrote. Another said: “Coffee pods are expensive so for me, it’s a weekend only treat, but who doesn’t need a little luxury in their life?”
If you wanted to spend a bit more, this DeLonghi coffee is a great pick at £179.99 from Currys with its built-in steamer, although you’ll need to manage your own grounds rather than simply popping a pod in the machine. For an even more premium experience, there’s the SMART Barista Bean to Cup Machine for £679 from Dunelm, an absolute beast that will have friends and family making excuses to come over for breakfast.
