Victoria Song shares her positive experience with the De’Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Plus, which she bought on a Black Friday deal for $110, praising its ability to make better-tasting coffee and espresso easily and affordably compared to other options like Keurig, while also noting Nespresso's recycling program for pods.
Nespresso, a brand owned by Nestlé, is gaining ground in the U.S. coffee pod market, which has long been dominated by Keurig. While Keurig holds a strong position in the U.S., Nespresso has found success globally and is now making strides in the American market. Nespresso's rise can be attributed to its introduction of the Vertuo machine in 2014, which expanded its offerings beyond espresso. Although Nespresso's growth doesn't necessarily mean a loss for Keurig, it highlights the brand's ability to target a different segment of the market. Keurig, on the other hand, believes there is still room for growth in the U.S. coffee market.

The author was looking for an affordable bean-to-cup coffee machine and decided against Nespresso due to Nestle's controversial business practices and the wastefulness of aluminum pods. After discovering third-party companies that make compostable and recyclable pods compatible with Nespresso machines, the author purchased a refurbished Sage Creatista Plus with a steam wand for £179.99 on eBay. The machine allows for customizable settings and easy cleaning, and the end result is far better coffee than instant coffee.
