    Vertuo machines back to €99 with 100 free capsules (10 sleeves), on the Nespresso IE website.

    Slightly cheaper on Amazon at £80

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07PD9ZMKT/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_fabt1_dlC_weWPFb46X3Q6J

    Plus 2 months free if you want to sign up for a sub, not required though.

    Signed up for the old style machine on subscription this week. Seems like a good deal, given that we had a machine and always do buy capsules direct. We got a €180 machine for €1 plus 25 a month charge. If we leave before the 2 years then we pay for the machine. Happy with that as have had a machine for years anyway.

    Didn’t go for Vertuo as capsules are a lot more expensive and we’re happy with the classic for now . Hopefully they don’t discontinue the pods anytime soon.

    I did the exact same a few months ago, as my old machine was starting to leak, and had been with me for years.

    The new machine feels a little lighter on quality tbh and there's something funny about the water container, it's a slightly different shape.

    You'll notice with your new machine that it's programmed to put a bit less water in the cup. I actually suspect that they've also reduced the coffee in each capsul, so have also reduced the water, so the coffee doesn't taste a bit watery.

    I'll be interested to see what you think, when you get your new machine.

    Thanks,

    G.

    We already got the machine, delivery was really fast! Am happy with it.
    You know that you can program the buttons to release as much water as you want from each one?

    We got a Citiz which is bigger than our old one and actually feels better quality, it’s black and chrome and seems very sturdy. Our old one was dripping slightly too but was quite old and well used so didn’t owe us anything! We always use the stronger capsules and haven’t noticed them any more watery lately.

    I ended up buying an older nespresso machine from Amazon warehouse in September. I paid €58, didn’t get any promos of free coffee. The machine was perfect. There was a mark on the box like as if a sticker had been pulled on it.
    I am delighted with it. :)

    Hard to fault Nespresso CS.

    My machine broke after 3-4 months. Rang them. They collected it for repair 4 days later and dropped off a replacement machine during repair. Returned two weeks later.

    Repair didn’t last a month. Again the arranged for collection and drop of replacement machine. Then they emailed to say they weren’t going to bother. Dump the old machine and a new one was on the way.

    Must be profit in the coffee....

    Definitely. We spend a small fortune on the pods now with lockdown / working from home.

    Yep! We were a bit shocked when we added it up when we were checking for the subscription what our normal spending about would be. At least the classic pods are a bit cheaper, and cheaper again than all the takeaways (although don’t think Nespresso replaces a nice coffee out, a good stop gap though).

    Nespresso pods are aluminium. And recycled by I assume most users?

    It’s only most of the cheap generics are plastic.

    Most people that I know just throw them in the bin, sad but true

    I used to have a Tassimo and the amount of plastic I was throwing in the bin sickened me so I switched to a DeLonghi bean-to-cup. My switch might have been made a little bit easier by the Argos deal I got a few years ago.

    Nespresso also provide recycling bags that you can bring back to them, or you can put them into any Parcel Motel for free, or have them collect it when they deliver other pods. We do it about once a month, effortless.

    Or, you can cut them open, get rid of the coffee grounds, give a wash and then put them in the green bin (I think).

    We'd be the same, order pick up of bags of used pods everytime we order, pure laziness not to get them picked up & recycled from your house.

    That's sad to hear.

    It's no big deal to collect the empties in the bags, then have them collected at the same time as you get your coffee delivered.

    I see it as being almost as simple as putting stuff in the green bin, so think it's something that we can all easily do, to help the environment a little.

    Thanks,

    G.

    We put the empties in the bag and then take them to BT.

    It makes me smile no end to think I'm bringing my rubbish into BRown Thomas for them to deal with.

    Small, pathetic victories.

    Thread title is misleading, has this "bargain alert" expired?

    Mods, perhaps mark it expired please?

    Free machine and they will put a saddle on you and ride you bareback for the capsules. Women will buy them in their droves and fair play to the young marketing chap who came up with this. I'd give him instant promotion. Houses all over Ireland will be getting them as Christmas presents, west Kerry won't know what him them. Thousands of them will be for sale on Done Deal around May when the husband finds out his wife has been rode crossways
