Picking between Nespresso and Keurig
Posted on 12/17/23 at 9:36 pm
Posted on 12/17/23 at 9:36 pm
Currently looking to upgrade from my older K-cup machine. In general, I find Keurig coffee to be weak. However, I’m wondering if the newer machines with Multistream actually improve the taste?
I do enjoy nespresso, but the pods are expensive and not sold in most brick and mortar stores (Vertuo line).
What ultimately became the decision maker for you? Taste, price, or convenience? I’m open to other suggestions. My only requirement is that the machine have a nice size water reservoir. I have considered going with a full blown espresso machine, but it’s useless if I want to fill a travel mug.
TIA.

Nespresso. Keurig is gross. Order the pods online.

That's what the americano is for.

We have Nespresso, after having enjoyed it at a friend's house. Better flavor compared to Keurig, in our opinion. Pod availability in retail stores is greatly lacking compared to Keurig. No Nespresso pods in Costco, but Costco has 10 different brands of Keurig pods. Nearby Albertson's carries Nespresso pods, but only in limited quantity, and when they are out, they will be out for a while. To remedy this, we order in bulk from Amazon without difficulty.

Do a Nespresso vertuo. It's a cross between the two, while having better coffee than Keurig

I don’t understand the “weak” description. I’m not as heavy into coffee as I was before but I remember options on the maker for a strong brew and options to buy stronger k-cups.

Nepresso is easily better at making coffee.
Getting the pods for Nepresso is more expensive and difficult, but doable.

Keurig makes a tea when compared to the Nespresso. It's like water sprinkled with coffee grounds.

It's borderline instant coffee. If I'm going to get pods, I'll take Nespresso.

I have both, the Nespresso makes better coffee by a mile, but you can pickup the K Pods at the grocery store. I use the Keurig at work and keep the Nespresso at home.

Don’t do this if you’re accustomed to Keurig. Unless you get a super-automatic.
I always recommend getting a decent burr grinder and a drip machine that can brew multiple sizes. I don’t find it’s that inconvenient to grind fresh and brew and the quality is far better than Keurig…plus no heated plastic.

I buy ground Lavazza and use the pods adapters, filled full, then hit the strong button on my Keurig. Usually makes a good cup.

The ones on the left are the best type of pods but it's so hard to find machines for them that are not super expensive and last. I've been through 3 Bunn machines and am tired of the cost of replacement.

Amazon doesn’t seem to offer the 7.7 oz pods in subscribe and save. Have you found the best prices to be on Amazon or directly with nespresso? Nespresso does offer its own version of auto-replenish but I’m sure there’s shipping charges as well.

Not sure of the size in ounces, but we buy the pods that make a full mug, Sumatra blend.
I don’t think the price on Amazon is any better than retail, it’s just that we can buy more at a time and always have pods.
The 2 local grocery stores don’t seem to stock enough at a time, and it’s at least a week before they restock.

Nespresso is awesome. Especially with a higher end machine. Ebay has a vast selection with a lot of comparable cheaper pods.

I got my wife an Nespresso so she better like it

I don’t disagree. I’ve tried all manners of home coffee. My preference is to go to a great coffee shop and get a real espresso drink. But for home purposes and between a keurig and a Nespresso Nespresso is better.
Home espresso machines are like radio controlled cars vs the real thing.

Nope. Google, fully automatic espresso machine
