Despite all the jokes about people buying lattes (and avocado toasts) instead of saving up for a house, there's a kernel of reality in there: Heading to the coffee shop every single day really does add up. Is it enough to put a down payment on a suburban home? Probs not—but it can still be a smart move to occasionally ditch the $5 vanilla latte and make one at home instead. If you're like me, though, you aren't going to be satisfied with a basic cup of joe and a lil creamer. Thankfully, investing in a Nespresso machine gives you the best of both worlds.
In case you've never used (or seen) a Nespresso machine before, lemme explain how it works. Essentially, you add water—like a traditional coffee maker—and then plop in a little pod that's filled with coffee or espresso grounds. Most of these devices will basically give you one button to push, and then your drink dispenses right into your glass. (We love technology!) Some also come with additional milk frothers and other accessories—so you can get bougie with it if you want.
But even though these coffee and espresso makers are designed to do similar things, there are a ton of different options, and finding the one that works with your lifestyle can feel a bit overwhelming. Lucky for you, though, we've rounded up the best Nespresso machines out there, according to reviews from actual coffee drinkers. (!) Making that afternoon pick-me-up is gonna be sooo much easier after this.
Plus, you can get some Nespresso bundles with the machine AND a few lil coffee pods on sale rn for Amazon Prime Day. We love a deal, especially when it comes to coffee!
