If you need a little boost of energy, might I recommend one of the very best Prime Day deals of 2023?
It's 35% off the Nespresso VertuoPlus ($110.45; originally $169.95), and when it comes to cutting down your daily caffeine bill, this deal is hard to beat. I know, because I have one (see below) and use it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
One of the things I love most about Nespresso's Vertuo line is that they can brew single and double espressos and *three* different sizes of coffee: 5-ounce, 8-ounce, and 14-ounce coffees.
The VertuoPlus is also a nice compact, narrow size — perfect if you want to save on counter space. And the water tank can swing around to either side, or just stay in the back!
Before I became a Nespresso girlie, I made a pour-over every morning. But using the Nespresso is *so* much faster and easier — you just pop in the capsule of your choice, press the button, and... well that's it. Your coffee is ready to go!
The coffees are *so* delicious, and brew with the delicious crema (foam) you know and love from high quality espresso.
The sheer variety of Nespresso Vertuo capsules mean you can change things up or stick with your favorite.
The first thing I do in the morning is brew a double espresso pod, add milk/ice, and I've got a deliciously rich iced latte without leaving my house (or putting on pants). ***And all for around a dollar per day ($1.10 to be exact).*** This machine truly pays for itself, especially when Starbucks/Dunkin prices only seem to get higher and higher.
While we're at it, let's hear from a few more reviewers:
Promising review: "Holy great cups of coffee! Mornings are so much better since buying this machine. I bought this on a Black Friday deal to try it out and I have never been so happy to start my day! I’ve had Keurigs since they came out and was dragging my heels to buy a replacement when my last Keurig gave out. When this popped up in my deals, I figured I’d give it a shot not really knowing what I was getting myself into. Holy smokes this is a morning-changer. I don’t think I’ve ever in my life had coffee this good at home. Let alone pre-packaged, one-serving coffee. Usually it’s fine right? Just fine - morning coffee, job done, let’s get on with the day. This machine and every pod that I’ve tried so far has made morning coffee an experience. Something to look forward to. Something to (almost) make me want to get out of a warm bed during these cold months. This is the best thing I’ve bought for myself. I’m so happy. I have been telling everyone about it. And if you’re on the fence, I say come over to this side ... it’s delicious!!" —mazw
"This baby is awesome! I had grown tired of my traditional espresso machine - so much hassle to pull it out of the cabinet, assemble all the accessories, etc. This machine is streamlined and takes up less counter space than my Keurig, so I can leave it out. I love how super easy it is to use, and the espresso is perfect. I bought a separate frother (different brand) and cleanup is ridiculously simple. Also brews coffee in several sizes. Espresso and double espresso sizes are why I bought this machine. It’s very clever; it “reads” how much water is needed for each capsule. It’s just wonderful! The only negative I found was the capsules are a little expensive (about $1 per cup), but still cheaper than a coffeehouse. Also, I can have my espresso or cappuccino in my jammies! I highly recommend this machine." —Lucy007
"Great unit, easy to use, so many styles of coffee to choose from, the average cup costs around $1.25 where my Starbucks flat white is now up to $6.43 for a large (venti) cup. It's paying for itself and no long drive thrus." —Tibor Kreite
