The neighborhood coffee shop is my comfort zone. Even though I’m a nomad and travel a lot, I keep going to the same coffee shops until I become a regular (even if only temporarily). The only problem? My daily $4 lattes started burning a hole in my wallet. To reduce my expenses without sacrificing the taste and quality of my morning coffee, last month I decided to try out Nespresso’s newest, most compact espresso machine.

Not only can the Vertuo Pop+ make all my favorite coffees and espressos in seconds, it’s also small enough to take with me from place to place when traveling. This do-it-all device has saved me so much time and money that I may be leaving the coffee shop behind forever. If you too want to become your own barista, grab this espresso machine while it’s 25% off on Amazon.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe coffee and espresso machine

Although I go to the coffee shop regularly, I’ve never settled on a particular espresso drink. I might have a cup of filter coffee on Monday, a latte with oat milk on Tuesday, a cold brew on Wednesday, and so on. That’s why I needed a versatile coffee maker that could make all of my favorite drinks. The machine is compatible with five capsule sizes to make 5, 8, and 12-ounce filter coffee, as well as single and double espresso. Best of all, it makes delicious iced coffee and cold brew.

Nespresso’s most compact machine, the Vertuo Pop+ measures just 12 x 8.5 x 10.5 inches, making it great for small spaces and taking on the go. It comes with a milk frother that can heat up to 8 ounces of milk or make up to 4 ounces of cold foam in seconds. The machine is made from 35% recycled plastic and comes in 11 colors, including silver, white, red and mint green.

Thanks to Nespresso’s huge range of coffee capsules, I can choose from dozens of varieties and flavours in different sizes, intensities and sweetness levels. Each capsule is filled with freshly roasted coffee and, according to Nespresso, the aluminium capsules keep the coffee grounds fresh for at least 50 times longer than an opened bag of coffee.

The Vertuo Pop+ also offers Bluetooth connectivity so I can control the machine through the Nespresso app. I use it to order new capsules and look at espresso drink recipes. I also love that it notifies me when it’s time to descale my machine.

The machine takes just 30 seconds to heat up, has an adjustable drip tray to accommodate cups and mugs of different sizes and heights, and automatically ejects used pods into a built-in tank that’s easy to remove and empty when needed. Plus, the removable 37-ounce water tank is easy to refill and clean.

One satisfied Amazon shopper says the machine is “so much easier and cheaper than going to the local coffee shop,” and I couldn’t agree more. The machine saves me over $100 on coffee every month and I will never regret it. Shop now and get up to 25% off.
