Any of yall own a Nespresso machine? Thoughts? What are your go to pods and which model do you own?

My Keurig I've had for 6 years kicked the bucket and Nespresso machines are being advertised at a pretty decent discount of $100 or less. I love espresso and dark, rich coffee. Obviously only had the Keurig for convenience purposes. I use the french press on the weekends.

I’ve had a nespresso for 5+ years. It’s been great. Just replaced the milk steamer last week. Favorite coffee pod is the Arpeggio.

I have the smallest one, with the milk foamer, and highly recommend it. Easy to make a high-quality espresso or cappuccino without taking up a lot of space in your kitchen.

The one we have is great. Makes great espresso for me and has the milk frother for lattes for the SO. Highly recommend.

Nespresso is a smaller better version of a keurig. Do they have refillable pods? No idea. I don’t own one but I’ve used them a decent amount. Very solid. Expensive, but very good coffee. I didn’t say great you coffee gurus so chill. But dang good, quick, and easy.

The nespresso with the milk frother is the easiest espresso you can make for sure.

That’s funny. I use cups during the weekday mornings but grind my own and use the adapter at night and on weekends.

I just got a Nespresso Inissia machine that was on sale around Black Friday.

Anybody know of deals for the Pods? I heard the Trader Joes pods were decent for 40c per and the Peet's pods are almost as good as the Nespresso ones but a little cheaper.

I use french press for the morning, but Nespresso for shots of espresso thru the day. It heats up quickly, and is reliable. Better tasting than half the cafe's near me (burnt espresso shots) and for only 70¢ as opposed to €2-3

I got a Nespresso Vertuoline machine a month ago. At first I didn't like that it was a pod machine. Damned if it don't make great coffee though.. Using a centrifuge gives a good crema. I actually put my small espresso machine away and just use this.

I make my own pods, reusing the bases and recovering with "my-caps". I buy some of theirs too, but unlike Keurig and the basic Nespresso pods, they aren't sold in stores, only online.

Refilling with fresh ground, I can make excellent coffee or espresso.
