Tip for free delivery on 100 Nespresso Capsules

johnny_adidas

Delivery of the nespresso capsules from their website is fairly steep at €8.95. Otherwise you have to order 200 capsules at a time for free delivery (approx €75min order cost)

If you only wish to order 50 of your favourite capsules and add any one of the following assortment packs then you can get free delivery for an order of approx €38 (100 capsules total)

SWEET AND SMOOTH 5-SLEEVE PACK(free p&p)
INTENSE 5-SLEEVE PACK(free p&p) [nice selection]
AROMATIC 5-SLEEVE PACK(free p&p)

Obviously this is only of use if the packs are to your liking

Why bother posting if you're obviously not interested?

Well then I'd have said "Tip for 100 free nespresso capsules"

Jesus what a car crash this has been, sorry I even bothered

Thanks for the tip. It is worthwhile and a welcome change from "Anyone got a code for Navan"

Doesn't each product have free P+P individually thou?

I mean there's no need to get sweet and smooth 5 pack if you don't like them, and just get the other 2.

Or is it the bargain that they have to be all 3 combination to engage free delivery individually for all 3 products?

Outstanding OP! Thanks a million :-)

Perfect timing, OP. I’m running low and can’t quite afford to place a full order. This will tide me over until next month.

We just have a Saeco Xsmall Bean to Cup machine, press a button, delicious coffee also comes out.

No need for capsules, just beans and water, its also possible to adjust the grinder to a strength of your liking.

Picked it up for 179 euros from getgoods.de

Nespresso is cheap in the beginning but is expensive in the long run, also you are tied into the whatever flavors they sell.

The clincher for me is I just did not like the amount of waste in packaging it created.

I'm curious why you would come onto this thread. It is clearly for nespresso capsules. You don't have a nespresso.

We have a Nespresso in work.

If you calculate the costs,

2 cups of coffee a day a 27 cent per capsule is an annual cost of 197.10
2 cups of coffee a day with (a very nice coffee bean) at around 13 euros / kilo = 71.17 (dose of 7.5 grams per dose) Total cost 71.17

That's a big difference.

a very nice coffee bean is €25 upwards a kilo or €7 per 250g in this country,i use approx 250grams per week so about 20 cups from that-making it .35 cent per cup,only 7 cent more than a capsule so well worth it

schemingbohemia

Just be aware that the assortments listed in OP all contain 2 sleeves of decaff coffee.

I think you are overestimating the costs:

http://www.discountcoffee.ie/coffee/coffee-beans/coffee-beans-single-bags

Even Lavazza Qualita Rossa 1kg bag is only 16 euros / kilo in Tesco.

Even at 20 euros (for some magic coffee) / kilo its still an 87 euro difference.

Thanks for tip.
Worth pointing out that 20 out of the 50 capsules in those packs is Decaf though

Can you provide a link to that coffee machine, it seems uncharacteristically cheap

This is it... I spend less money on coffee now than I did before

The pods stay fresh forever, and it's good coffee with no fuss. For someone who drinks as little as me it's perfect. A box of 200 lasts me a year

But yeah the waste bothers me as well. I know they can pick up the pods for recycling but it seems to be only a token effort - last time I checked it was UK only and besides I'm never at home so I have them delivered at parcel motel. On the other hand it's not much worse than coke cans I suppose.

cordni

Thanks OP. Great tip

Whats this waste everyone speaks of?

The pod you mean?

Yes, because manufacturing individual pods using ton upon tons of aluminium and then recycling the aforementioned pods is very environmentally friendly compared to using no pods at all.

Downside of your machine is having to clean up afterwards. There's hardly any waste with a nespresso, just a tiny capsule that takes up 0.0001% of your black bin

I have one of the Aldi espresso makers that can handle pods and ground coffee. Most of the time I'll use the pods, but the odd time I'll spend the extra several minutes taking the ground coffee out, spooning out an amount, tamping it down, packing up the bag of coffee and putting it back in storage, plugging in the ground coffee holder, making the coffee, afterwards emptying out the used coffee into the brown bin, cleaning out the holder, cleaning out the coffee machine, cleaning the worktop of the inevitable ground coffee residue while spooning out...

Or i could just slot in a pod, drink coffee, walk away...

(Your machine probably handles the tamping bit, but there's all that lovely cleaning up you need to do periodically which is a headache the nespresso machine nicely avoids)

No, you just pour in beans, it self cleans when it turns off. longer term cleaning consists of removing the brew group and rinsing it. Descaling is necessary every few months, just like a nespresso, no mess like your Aldi Machine that uses powdered coffee.

Also you must empty the drip tray every so often just like a nespresso.

Turn on, put cup on tray, push button for either Expresso or Full cup (which you can program depending on the size of your cups) and walk away.

The used coffee is in a bin that you have to empty after around 8-10 cups, they consist of pucks that are ejected from the machine.



If you have 4 people in the house having 2 cups of coffee a day that's 8 pods a day, 56 pods a week

T-K-O

Apologies in advance I know its not very PC.

When it comes to the environment I won't be losing any sleep over a few pods

mrcheez

Not to mention, never having to clean up, leaving more time to enjoy that next cuppa

youngblood

they have a new promotional coffee again, anyway to get free delivery without having to order 200??
Just saw that if you add a sleeve of their new coffees it comes up as free delivery!

Would be good to keep any promotional coffee/delivery deals here so we dont miss out

you have to buy at least two packs of their two new coffees Milano and Palermo, one of each or two of either will do it.
