The Only Coffee Maker Worth Snagging on Prime Day, According to a Former Barista

When it comes to Prime Day, there are three types of products that you should always be keeping an eye out for: high-end TVs, top-of-the-line cookware, organizers, and big-name coffee gear. It’s no secret that luxury coffee makers can cost a pretty penny, making a sale event like Prime Day the ultimate time to score the one of your dreams. As for the pick The Kitchn’s senior commerce editor — and former barista — Ian would suggest? That would be the Nespresso Vertuo POP+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine by Breville. 

“I’ll be the first to admit it: I’m a total coffee nerd,” he shared. “However, for something a little bit less time-consuming that’s both practical and palate-pleasing, [this is] the one coffee maker that you should snag while it’s marked down.” And right now, this coffee maker is a whopping 34% off. So, what’s so special about this particular coffee maker? Let’s break it down — before you add it to your cart.

The Nespresso Vertuo POP+ is a one-touch brewing system that makes both regular coffee and espresso, with blend-specific brewing that ensures each cup tastes like something you’d get at a cafe. It also makes two different sizes of espresso and three different sizes of drip — all the way up to 14 ounces — and uses fully recyclable capsules with the option of using the convenient (and free!) Nespresso recycling program. 

But here’s the coolest part: the Nespresso Vertuo POP+ leans on the knowledge of the coffee experts that helped design it. They created an all-new brewing system using Centrifusion Technology, a patented extraction technology developed by Nespresso. Thanks to its built-in barcode system, the coffee maker optimizes brew time and temperature for different capsules without you having to adjust any settings. Just pop a capsule in and close the lever to enjoy seriously delicious coffee in seconds.

Average rating: 4.4/5 

“I was getting tired of my daily drip coffee and decided after reading reviews to get the Nespresso machine. I am very well pleased with the quality of the espresso and coffee made and have now replaced the coffee shop and expensive coffee.”

“I love how easy this machine is to use! Plus the pods are recyclable. Lots of coffee flavor options”

“Love that each coffee pod has a barcode and makes the coffee the way that it needs to be made. Love all the different coffee flavors and types you can get. Never had any issues with it.”

Normally priced at $150, the Nespresso Vertuo POP+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine by Breville is now available for just $99. The best part? This editor-favorite pick also comes with a complimentary starter set of Nespresso capsules so you can start brewing immediately. So if you’re in need of a new espresso machine or simply want to upgrade your setup, give this pick a try — especially while it’s 34% off.
