Are these not the newer capsule that you cannot get cheap capsules as it's patented?

That is correct. You can only get these pods direct from Nespresso or one of their boutiques.

They can work out cheaper than the other old type as they offer larger pods if like me you regularly use 2 of the old ones to make a single cup.

colm_mcm · 26-06-2020 11:46pm

It would want to be free. Those Vertuo machines are like a printer that can only run genuine cartridges. You can only use the original pods which are 59c each. The machine has a barcode reader built in to the mechanism for this purpose.

So they're cheaper if you used to use 2

ie They're nearly twice the price, but a bit bigger.

They dear and you have to buy from Nespresso

I prefer Nespresso. I need to use 2 old ones. So 80 cents a cup.

With these one pod will do the required volume so 60-70 cent a cup.

Add pods, then machine, view basket and it should remove the cost of the machine.

Worked for me 20 mins ago.

For €200 you would be better off on looking out for the €240 deals that pop up from time to time on Delonghi Automatic Bean machines.

Ok, it wouldn't include the coffee, but bags of beans are so much cheaper then Nespresso pods, it will be cheaper overall after just a few months.

I went from the original Nespresso Machines to a Delonghi a few years ago, at the time I wasn't sure given the expense, but it has worked out as one of the best investments I've ever made. If it broke in the morning I'd buy a new one straight away without hesitation.

893bet · 27-06-2020 12:09am

It’s 200 pods not 200 euro. Which you can have as cheap 110 euro.

Tough crowd around here.

Inquitus · 27-06-2020 12:16am

It works but you have to go to checkout for it to register, your basket shows full price.

KyussB · 27-06-2020 1:03am

You can get a decent moka pot and coffee grinder, plus half a years worth of coffee, for a little above the same amount of money. The coffee will be better and cost way less than the capsules, too - saving you money in the end.

These machines aren't worth it even when they're free. Especially as this one is ridiculous enough to reject non-standard capsules.

No.

Unless you intend to use up your free pods then bin the machine its not. Much better to get a cheap Gen1 Nespresso machine and have ample pod options long term.

Nicetrustedcup · 27-06-2020 6:14am

Have a bean to cup machine myself,

Paid about 185 euros from the amazon warehouse about 4 years ago,

You can buy any coffee bean you like for it and so much cheaper then nespreso I am talking about 14 euros a bag of 1K coffee and that’s for good beans online

You get about 120 cups for 14 euros this weeks out 11.5c a cup of fresh ground coffee that’s the very same as what you get in a coffee shop

If you like coffee buy a bean go cup there amazing value for money

Nowhere in the post does it mention €110, so you can see where peoples confusion is coming from.

893bet · 27-06-2020 7:20am

Nespresso are such bastards for making you buy this.....Oh wait....free will....

Let’s look at the choices.

So the cost of this is any where from 110-130 euro or so depending on which 200 pods you select. Let’s call it 120.

For that 120 you can

1) Buy 200 pods, add no machine, pay 120, stare at pods at home wondering why the **** you bought them.

2) Buy 30 Starbucks or go local and get 40 coffees in your local cafe.

3) Buy 500 of the older variation Aldi pods (assuming you have a old machine to use them)

4) Save up some more and buy more bean to cup things a magig if that’s your thing

Or

And the purpose of this thread is similar to the first option,

6) Buy the 200 pods, add the machine, still only pay 120, and drink that coffee.

Lastly, which is what I suggest a lot of the posters do:

Take the 120 (have it in 5 ers preferably with a twenty wrapped on the outside so you feel rich), fold it over so you think you have twice as much again, and shove it back up your tight arse with the rest of your holy communion money for safe keeping.

greasepalm · 27-06-2020 9:02am

Tempted but having 5 coffee machines is bad enough + a perculator.

Gooey Looey · 27-06-2020 9:13am

I was always a filter coffee man. I changed to Nespresso years ago and wasn't long changing back to beans. The reason wasn't the price, I felt guilty about all the waste going to landfill.

Tazium · 27-06-2020 9:16am

This is a decent deal. Got one recently when the machine cost 99 euro with 100 pods free.

Still liking it and just bought a bunch of pods last week. If you like a mug sized coffee it’s great.

This deal can be had for 90 euro if you choose smaller espresso sized pods.

Jonesy101 · 27-06-2020 9:29am

I got a Nespress Vertuo in January, coffee is great and really handy and recommended it to parents and inlaws, but now the pods ares starting to add up, spend about 50E a month on pods, yes cheaper than going out for coffee but its still a fair whack. Interested in this Delonghi Idea... they all seem to be about 500-1000 quid though on currys.

This bothers me also a little and is actually one of the reasons I use the Nespresso pods as they will take them back in recycling bags. I drop them to the boutique once every few months.

duffman13 · 27-06-2020 10:02am

Bought this a few weeks ago, initially wasn't going to buy because they didn't accept compatible pods. Changed my mind and really happy I did, coffee is good and I only drink a cup a day so pods don't feel that expensive to me.

This is a good deal if you want a nespresso machine

There are tonnes of compostable pod options now.

Now that the economy is in the crapper is it still called a “boutique”?

Curious about the cleaning of these type machines. Is it much of a burden?

There are now but were other deciding factors, 5-6g of coffee just isn't enough IMO. I now use 16g in my double espresso americano

um7y1h83ge06nx · 27-06-2020 10:42am

I normally buy from discountcoffee.ie During the week I got 12kg of beans delivered for about €111.

The pods are very handy though.

If you contact Nespresso by phone you can ask for a Nightline pick up at your door for used pods. Just need to tell them how many bags you've filled. No you can order and dispose without leaving your home!!

I think the long-term plan is to have a stop point at Parcel Motel.

Yep nightline took back four bags for us last week..the vertuo capsules are bulky.. the machine can usually be bought for around 100 euro on sale... Have the old and new machine type..prefer the new.. yes it's patent crap to lock you into Nespresso only pods but the rotation makes the coffee smoother.. it's not cheap coffee but it's consistently good and convenient

coach22 · 27-06-2020 12:53pm

Maybe I have an account specific deal but I am getting a further discount of around 15 euro for buying 200 capsules. I can also select the machine for 239 with the bigger water tank

DaveyDave · 27-06-2020 2:08pm

So the eco friendly solution to these is to have a van drive to my house and pick up two dozen pods every week, rather than just put one empty bag of beans into my green bin? The planet is saved!

In all seriousness though if you want to save money in the long run a bean to cup machine is the way to go. You don't have to enjoy coffee as a hobby to have a convenient, nice coffee solution with real beans. Plenty of bean to cup options out there.

Mantis Toboggan · 27-06-2020 2:34pm

If you want good cheap coffee those 30 euro tassimo machines do the job perfectly. Plenty of choice and availability on the pods and they work out around 20 cent each.

Doesnt seem to work for me:

Added these 2:

Then added this:
https://www.nespresso.com/ie/en/order/machines/vertuo/vertuo-next-classic-black

At the checkout its still looking for €328.40. What an I doing wrong?

SheroP · 27-06-2020 3:38pm

What’s difference between vertuo and vertuo plus??
Thanks

Zimmerframe · 27-06-2020 3:48pm

Works fine here, thanks OP.
Already have one, but it's a bit of a no brainer, to refuse a free machine, when I was about to order capsules anyway.

For €128

200 of my favourite capsules, (better than the previous offer, where they chose the capsules).
a free machine
the starter pack of capsules which come free with the machine.
and my free coffee mug, (from the previous promotion)

You need to add 200 capsules you are only adding 100. The offer is on the front page.

https://www.nespresso.com/ie/en/vertuo-promotion

Edit - I see you added two of them. Did you go all the way to checkout? it work fine for me with your combo and takes the deduction off at the checkout.

Duvetdays · 27-06-2020 4:26pm

We have a big nespresso machine in work and I think it gives a decent coffee.
Ordered a selection of 4x50 pods for the mug size came to €129 inc the €239 vertuo and a starter selection of pods. Wouldn’t be used everyday so pods will last about a year.

goose06 · 27-06-2020 4:34pm

Cheers OP needed capsules for an older machine so went and ordered these, current machine cost €100 5 years ago so it owes us nothing and if the new machine is built as well then it'll see plenty of use over the coming years. I'll bring the old one into the office as our communal tea/coffee areas are being closed off over covid so it'll be handy to have on my desk to get my fix during the day.

I disagree. The machines are good and this is also a good deal if you want all round standard coffee hassle free.

Obviously Nespresso make their money on pods vs machines (they don't even manufacture them) so there is incentive to get people onto machines. The new Vertuo pods are pretty decent if you prefer longer coffees vs espresso / lattes on the original machines though.

I really never got the Nespresso hate, main benefit of Nespresso machines / pods is the convenience and producing a decent coffee within 30 seconds without fail.

Of course there are cheaper / "better" alternatives, but that's the same with everything. The vast majority of people do not want to bother with beans, buying them, grinders etc. Connivence over effort. (Yes I know it's not that much effort)

The only person I know with a nespresso machine, has one that doesn't restrict non-standard capsules the way this one does - so that he can use a reusable capsule, filled with coffee from a grinder...

Capsules are multiple times the price, it produces huge amounts of unneccessary waste where the majority does NOT get recycled, this particular machine forces monopoly use of approved capsules - a monopoly where there is child labour in nespressos coffee supply chain...(remember, this is Nestle you're dealing with here - the company that is notorious for its baby milk scandal, promoting the use of its baby formula for newborns over breast milk, in poor communities in parts of the world where this leads to malnutrition and excess deaths).

So yea, there's a diverse number of reasons to spend the extra few seconds it takes, to make a coffee from beans and boycott everything Nestle related.

WhiteMemento9 · 27-06-2020 5:54pm

Seems pretty straight forward to hack the pods to make them refillable.
