Nepresso coffees taste way better than any of the Keurig coffees; good flavors and not watered down. I used to own a Keurig machine until one day I went to visit my friends and they offered me a Nepresso coffee. From then, I gave away my Keurig and got myself a Nepresso machine.
I remember on a business trip my hotel room had a nepresso, all of us staying at the same hotel thought the coffee was wonderful. Kurig isn’t even close
And you’re still paying hundreds of dollars for those coffee pods because buying their machine alone wasn’t enough money for them to make.. Those coffee pods you buy make you a lifetime subscriber.
Keurig coffee is substandard quality. Many times it’s offered in the hotels I stay at, which is always a major disappointment. Nespresso coffee is much better and co distant quality!
I bought 3 different Keurig machines thinking they were defective the coffee tasted watery no matter what pod I used. Finally invested in a Nespresso and I looove it. The pods are definitely more expensive and harder to find but the difference is huge. To each its own, I do however like stronger coffee but I agree they are both for different types of audience.
you'll be even more surprised to find out that coffee tastes much better when it's fresh (whetehr it's long or espresso). If you really like espresso coffee, espresso machines would give you the optimal experience and taste. But I understand that Nespresso can be a more convenient choice if you just want your coffee to be ready in one minute.
I may be among the minority but I have found exactly what I like down to the creamer and how to prepare certain coffees. I’m enjoying the Keurig. It’s milder coffee and the creaminess comes from either adding a little warm milk or your choice of creamer to the coffees. Hot chocolate also turns out great with some added warm milk. I bought the commercial K155 and hope it lasts longer than the home models but so far so good. I’m happy. With the Nespresso, I find myself having to add way more milk to make the coffee palatable and most coffees taste the same.
@@Victoria-bl4tw Ditto. We have a Keurig, I use the Starbucks pods with the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze non dairy vanilla creamer. I love it, but it's suddenly getting EXTREMELY hard to find that specific creamer. (Are you listening, HP Hood?) The Chobani is close to the Almond Breeze but it's #2 for me.
If you're struggling to find Nespresso capsules, they sell a variety of flavours on Amazon (or in Nespresso shops themselves, but those are harder to find). What I tend to do is go to my local Starbucks and get Nespresso × Starbucks capsules from there (however I'm in Europe, so I assume it works the same way in the U.S.). Stay safe and enjoy coffee!
I’m in Europe now and just purchased around 36 sleeves of Nespresso to take home to the US. I estimate it’s around 25-30% cheaper in Europe. The mark up in the US is too much!
Keurig exists for convenience. Nespresso is an entry into the coffee enthusiast market. Most Americans take coffee for purpose (caffeine) rather than taste like Europeans do. They are completely different markets.
I have Breville Espresso machine at home and my workplace has Keurig machine. I like Espresso better, you get stronger taste of coffee even if you dilute it and it's cheaper per cup since the bean is much cheaper than pod. It's not even difficult to remove the ground.
@@double_joseph327 They both serve their purpose. I prefer the espresso machine, but if I don't have time in the morning, then the Nespresso comes in handy.
I had a Keurig for 2 years then moved to Nespresso, the quality difference is mind blowing, the Keurig really is like dirty water, probably what you would get after reusing a Nespresso pod a few times and leaving the coffee out for a few days, it is that bad. The Nespresso is just wonderful.
Honestly after using both they taste the same, but each their own… personally I prefer the keurig as there’s more of a variety of coffee pods compared to nescafe with their limited selection
I Agree, the Nespresso is better, tastes better, lasts longer. I had 2 Keurigs that I loved at first, but both broke after little over a year. The pin or needle that puncures the pod broke on both Keurigs. I've had the Nespresso for 5 years and I love it. However, the pods are expensive and there is no real alternative. I just recenlty put the Nespresso away and switched back to normal coffee.
When a company worth multi billion it automatically makes enemies who spread bad words about it to ruin it’s picture in public. a sheep blindly hear and accept whatever they say and repeat it whatever they say
@FengG0 I avoid it but I have in the past. However if I learn a product is one owned by them I will not get it again and search for a replacement brand. I am aware that a few people doing this won't hurt them but if I can't solve the problem, my next option is to not add to the problem.
@@IndianaDiy I like to buy local stuff made by the owner of the shop and I make several things and do my best to sell them for as close to (and often less than) commercial prices (i.e. coffee and organic vegetables). I think more people should try to do the same and weaken the hold that corporations like Nestle has on the community
@FengG0 So Nestle has a free pass to commit human rights abuses because they have committed human rights abuses to corner the market? Great morals you have there guy
I am obsessed with Iced coffee (i'd call it iced americano.) been a regular with nesrpesso vertuo for two three years now. Their double espresso/gran lungo sizes are great for making iced coffee. Cant wait to see what they are going to do next to step up their iced coffee game.
I used to drink pod coffee, but later decided it would be cheaper to buy an automatic bean-to-cup machine since I drink coffee every day. I have had my Jura for 6 years now and haven't looked back. The coffee is much better, there is no needless waste, and the per cup price is much lower.
pods are expensive in the long run, I Love my automatic coffee machine, 4 times the price than the keurig but much better coffee quality and build quality of the machine
Im from usa. When i bought my home keurig single serve machine from QVC around 2010, i dont recall nesspresso having a machine sold in usa. I recall George Clooney nesspresso tv commercials a few years later.
To buy a Nespresso over ten years ago you went to a place like Sur La Table. Always loved scent of hot coffee but hated bitter taste. Was in the store to buy my sister a Keurig. After tasting four cups of smooth coffee no bitter taste I walked out with a Pixie. Have since learned to ike the taste of Keurig. Hae a new Nesspreso that's small enough to travel . The sales lady at Sur La Table was correct. I had never had GOOD COFFEE. The only con is that f I want to sample the taste I must travel about 250 miles to a store.
I'm American, Keurig coffee is just good as coffee you can buy at a 24/7 petrol station. Americans just wanna buy expensive crap on credit card that comes in lots plastic packaging.
Nespresso does have a recycle program which I’m mindful to use. When I order coffee refills I order their complementary recycle bags that you use to drop empty pods into and then you drop that bag of full pods which doubles as an ups mailer to ship back for recycling.
@@Entertainment-And there's the additional pollution from shipping all of those back. All coffee pods should be 100% aluminium and be accepted by the same machines that accept aluminium soda cans.
I use both, i agree nespresso is better but its also prohibitively more expensive and then these nespresso keeps getting smarter blocking third party pods. So we use the Keurig more and the Nespresso is a more a niche nice product from time to time.
I own both. I’ve never found Nespresso to be a true Keurig competitor, one is best for specialty coffee (Nespresso) and the other for everyday coffee (Keurig) and which has the most variety.
@@double_joseph327 The Nespresso uses an under pressure system to make coffee or more specifically espresso which is great for cappuccinos, lattes etc. Keurig is more akin to a drip maker and is best for your day to day coffee not specialty grade espresso. Both are great compliments to each other but neither is a suitable replacement for the other, cafe models of keurigs try to mimic an espresso but doesn’t use a bar based pressure system like Nespresso. So no not the same thing at all.
It’s all about the foam. In my 18-20’s my mom got a keurig when it first came out, now I’m 32 and the nespresso is on point with flavor and correct boldness.
I prefer my Keurig because I got it as a gift and I also received a reusable pod to go with it so that I can just put fresh ground coffee in. If I’m lazy I use cafe bustelo espresso ground coffee, after it finished brewing in my cup, I add silk sweet and creamy, then a couple of ice. My ideal cup of icy joe to wake me up in the morning.
Went from a Mr. Coffee years ago to Keurig and loved the switch. I love the versatility of the different coffees. I am also a "auto-delivery club" fan where I get reduced prices on pods since it auto ships from the Keurig website. Lately though, I am getting into having a French press. I have had one off and on for years. I pick up any brand of ground coffee, put in the scoops of coffee and then near-boiling water and let it stoop for about 5-7 minutes. Once you get the coffee to water ratio just right for your own personal taste, there is something sophisticated and enduring taking a coffee from a French press in the morning. :)
@@mariacheebandidos7183 Never. But it didn’t do well in Italy. Otherwise, outside of the US, Starbucks is like a status symbol. People buy Starbucks and post the cup logo as showing off. Definitely not done because of the coffee. lol. Now Japan is another story. Starbucks had to accommodate to the high Japan standards, so it’s very different from a Starbucks in the US. I moved to Japan 4 months ago, and even the McDonalds are absolutely good compared to ours in the US.
@@mariacheebandidos7183cope harder. Coffee shops in Europe are mostly independent small shops, nothing like Starbucks. They're usually cozy, serve real non-fast food and you go there to meet with friends. Starbucks is for when you're at the airport or the train station and don't have time. It is to coffee what McDonald's is to food. Can it be a guilty pleasure once in a month? To some people, sure. But in 9 of 10 cases, it's something you settle for because you're in a hurry.
I just recently decided to buy a Keurig because I like the milder taste. I find Maxwell House, House Blend especially good and a nice change of pace from my espresso machine. K-cups are available in most stores and very easy to find. I’ve had a Nespresso for some years now before I bought my espresso machine and well before the Keurig. It’s a Vertuo and took me a while to find a flavor I liked. It was Giorno. After while, Nespresso decided to discontinue it so the machine sat idle for a while. I finally decided to try a couple different flavors and was also sent a sample package. It was the coffee in the sample package that I liked the best. It’s unfortunate that shipping is so expensive. I thought I’d order a sleeve of the sample……bianco piccolo. The price was $9.80 but shipping is $8.00!!! How can you justify paying that much for shipping? It is not available locally so you just can’t go to the supermarket to purchase it. I would need to buy several sleeves to get free shipping and since I had already ordered other sleeves with that sample, it didn’t make sense to buy more at that time.. Nespresso needs to make it easier to purchase coffee. It may well be the main reason people are turning to Keurig.
I have 2 Nespresso machines and have really liked them but recently bought the DeLonghi True brew and that is a real game changer. I love it 10 x more than capsule coffee
I love my Nespresso. I return my used pods and the shipping is very fast and easy. While the Vertuo I have isn't Blouerooth compatible it does tell you when to dona cleaning cycle. I can make coffeehouse quality drinks at home for the fraction of the cost at Starby's. I do appreciate the partnership to make pods available in grocery stores in the US. I would love to see more pods from different growers. The selection needs more variety. Perhaps with the advent of more users in the US,we will get more.
A couple of years ago, I got a 3-in-1 coffee maker produced by Instant Pot (yes, the pressure cooker/slow cooker company, lol). It takes K-Cups, Nespresso Pods and it works with reusable pods for both brands as well. So far, no issues other than the usual descaling needed, and I got it on sale at the time for less than 80 bucks.
I used to be content with my 30-year-old percolator and a can of Folgers. For single serving its all about the Aeropress. Hands down, can't be beat for single serving. And 100X cheaper than both Nespresso and Keurig. Though I would consider a Nespresso machine for the occasional handend...ish cup..
Buy the coffee beans, grind it yourself, then put it in basic coffee maker. Need a single cup, buy a pour over coffee cone. Save yourself tons of money and get way better coffee than Starsucks.
@@Dangic23 The Moccamaster is a very good drip machine. It's not going to get you quite as good results as a Hario V60, no, but it's 80% of the way there.
@Dangic23 I still think a basic coffee maker is better than any Keurig from my experience. There are simple hacks you can do like using two filters (one on bottom and on top) to make a reasonably good coffee. Will it be as good as an SCA-certified machine like the one I have? No, but it will produce something acceptable unlike anything Keurig does.
From Japan here, and we got a Nespresso machine because it was really cheap at Costco a couple years ago. It has been great, and the pods we buy are the Starbucks branded ones, and if purchased at Costco comes out to be about 80 yen a cup (0.51 USD). The only thing I wish was better was a more convenient way to recycle the pods.
I love my Nespresso and the coffee tastes fantastic. The downside is the pods are expensive and there are less flavor options. There are more kcups available in the grocery stores for less money, but I don’t see myself switching anytime soon.
I had a K-cup machine. Used it for less than a year. Currently using a Nespresso Vertuo machine and have used it every day for 2 years. The fact that I can taste the difference of each and every pod is amazing to me and truly opened up what coffee is capable of to me is amazing.
I love NESPRESSO! I live in the US and I wish I could buy European Nespresso which is infinitely better than the one sold in the US. I was in Europe this summer and was able to bring a few sleeves home to compare. Had I known how much better their product is, I would have bought a truckload. Does anyone know if it's possible to import (retail) European Nespresso to the US? ☕
eBay sells a lot of nespresso sleeves imported from Europe, Israel and everywhere else. I always look on eBay for my favorite discontinued pods because they always do run out of the best ones.
@@tomunderwood4283 US Nespresso coffee used to taste like Europe's Nespresso but I noticed a significant difference (less flavor, more of a chemical taste) a few years ago. I continue to drink it bc it's still better than others. The US allows certain chemicals in our food that are not allowed in the European Union so my guess is that it's in the processing of the coffee or in the pods.
Nespresso beats keurig no doubt! But a good espresso machine is the way to go no doubt, unless you just want to press a button...making your coffee by yourself is fun and tasty!
I don't think it's a marketing, branding, or retailing contest. For me it was the taste. K-cups were "OK" but Nespresso pods were so much like real freshly ground and brewed coffee. The taste was superior. Now, I hated the waste and lock-in that came with Nespresso, so I moved to a bean to cup machine. But if forced, it would definitely be Nespresso over K-cups hands down. I even think the taste of the old Douwe Egberts/PHILIPS "Senseo" machines that were sold in the early 00's in the States tasted better than Keurig.
I've had both, but kept keurig. I'd say Nepresso coffees taste a bit better but, in the end like vhs vs beta its a price thing tones of no name coffee makers make pods at lower prices for the Keurig and add to that you can by reusable pods in a pk of 4 for 12$ this makes a regular can of coffee last 3 weeks @ 9$ I can spend that in a few days on Nepresso coffee pods. if your going to buy pods than Nepresso coffee is the one to go with if you want fresh every time with out the price using the coffee of your choice and no damage to environment Keurig with reusable pods is the clear winner
Coffee is one of the few things I took from my time in the military to my civilian life. A good cup in the morning and after dinner with a good dessert helps me throughout the day!
If you are looking to buy this is essentially a marketing/business analysis article. You need understand the type of coffee you want to drink first and then research the type of system that will brew it for you. If you decide on Nespresso be aware Nespresso has 2 systems and deciding between the two (original and vertuo) takes a more in-depth look as they brew differently. Lots of reviews and advice on RUclips. My family prefer espresso drinks and we have had a super automatic espresso machine at home for over 20yrs. I recently purchased a nespresso original pod machine for when we travel as it brews “espresso” under pressure. This replaced a rarely used K-cup brewer we had for trailer camping and an affordable but now broken semiautomatic espresso machine (plus all the accoutrements) we carried when renting a place with a kitchenette. Enjoy your brew!
1 or 2 gram of ordinary coffee in an aluminium pod the same weight and beyond 30,- euros for the kilogram. Yes, that sounds like a real sustainable bargain to me...
I like that Nespresso challenged Keurig and now Keurigs are wayyy cheaper and more accessible to every consumer. I use a Keurig and am very satisfied with it. Nespressos are more expensive and the pods are also crazy expensive. I like to use my reusable k-cup with my keurig to ensure I am not being wasteful and still environmentally conscious.
I started out drinking a keurig in college and i knew the coffee was horrible. Nespresso coffee is much better tasting but honestly not super great in comparison to just making your own coffee from beans.
Agreed. My oldest machine is a Nespresso Virtuo. I was not completely satisfied with it and after while bought an expensive Italian espresso machine. The difference is noticeable and quite frankly don’t really like the excessive artificial crema produced by the Nespresso. These machines are several years old. However, lately I started enjoying the milder coffee produced by a Keurig at a local business where they offer complimentary cups, so much so. that I bought one. I’m actually enjoying the milder taste for a change of pace. I’ll say that I’ve never liked Keurig until now. It’s possible that the brand of coffee made the difference for me.
My son has a nespresso system and I had coffee from it for three weeks. The coffee was OK but it was considerably weaker than what I was used to with my Keurig. So my typical morning coffee fix is 14 oz consisting of two Keurig pods one 8oz and one 6 oz. This typically costs me $1 per cup given the coffee and quantities I purchase. The two pod combo allows me to have a variety of flavors by choosing from six different pod types. My Keurig coffee tastes better and stronger than the nespresso that costs 3-6 dollars per cup. I just don't understand those who prefer the nespresso.
Nespresso dominates the coffee scene in Switzerland. When I was there on vacation I could not find drip coffee anywhere, including coffee shops and restaurants. Drove me nuts.
Also a trend is such companies changing their cups so the older Nespresso machines do not work properly anymore. Thus trying to force customers to buy new machines.
Having a coffee with milk first thing in the morning is so delicious! The Coffee Industry is responsible for more than 2.2 million U.S. jobs and generates more than $100 billion in wages. How Many Cups of Coffee Do Americans Drink Each Day? According to a survey by Statista Consumer Insights, coffee drinkers in the U.S. rarely stick to just one cup a day. Among those drinking coffee daily, almost 80 percent drank two or more cups while at home on a weekday. More than half consumed three or more cups on average on such a day. - by Katharina Buchholz. The three main methods to process coffee are Natural (also called dry process), Washed (also called wet processed) and Honey (also called pulped natural). Each method of coffee lends itself to a different final cup flavour.
i got used to keurig coffee till i was offered a cup of just basic drip coffee maker coffee at a family members house. the fact that the taste of that coffee blew me away made me realize just how terrible the coffee i had been drinking for years was.
The reason I like Keurig is the variety. Sometimes I want plain coffee, sometimes flavored, other times decaf or tea. My grandkids like hot chocolate & hot apple cider. ALL IN ONE MACHINE! ☕️☕️☕️
My sister made me get a Nespresso... I already had a drip machine, Tassimo, and 2 Keurigs, so why would I want another? No need. She said I don’t understand and need to trust her, so I bought it. Now I’ve given away my other machines and i’m ranting and raving about how good Nespresso is; the taste, the crema, it’s unbelievable, the best coffee I’ve ever had. Arguably The Best $200 I’ve Ever Spent. Better than any coffee shop, you could bring me a $100 coffee and I’ll still prefer my Melozio!
I have two nespresso machines. Luv them. However I returned both K machines. The temperature was not hot enough. The brewing method did not help. I am a nespresso customer!
I have both and they both serve a different audience I’m glad they aren’t worrying about competing with each other and worrying about listening to the consumers
The point is , people who drink k cup will never drink Nespresso. A friend of mine had the K cup machine and he’s constantly getting a new one, it keeps malfunctioning at least every 6 months. I’ve had a Nespresso for over 15 yrs and it still works.
Agree. Home Keurig models are notorious for malfunctioning and even breaking down entirely after a short time. I just decided to purchase a Keurig this year for a milder cup of coffee but selected a commercial model and have hopes that it will last.
Keurig will last for years. Problem is people are using water that clogs the Keurig machine and destroys it within 6 months or overtime. Filtered water and simply purified bottle water with no minerals for taste is the best way to go. Water with high minerals causes my frustrations with Keurig machines. I descale my Keurig machine less often and get better tasting coffee by following that rule.
that's unfortunate cuz Nespresso needs competition. I've been mostly been able to avoid Nestle and I want to keep that going. But I've always wanted a coffee pod system.
I had a Keurig machine and could clearly taste the plastic in my coffee. This was a new 2015 machine and using Keurig official pods. Tried other brands and it was the same. I threw away the machine after a month.
@@autumntriesthingsthe nespresso pods are made completely of metal and nespresso has a program where you can put them in a bag and mail them for free and the metal is cleaned and sold and the coffee is composted so there is no waste with the product. Much better than keurig
Just do it the traditional way - get yourself an electric coffee grinder and a pour over coffee filter/mug combo. Spend more money on the “quality” of coffee beans, rather than useless coffee pods and machine.
The prices mentioned on here seem wild. In Europe it’s 50cents a pod when not on offer, Starbucks ones maybe 30 cents because we don’t care for that brand and here it was saying Americans are paying over a dollar.
My coffee machine was only $400 and with a push of a button grinds the coffee beans automatically and runs hot water through them up to 19 Bar, and so in 45 seconds I have an amazing hot cup of fresh grinned coffee.
20 seconds? That's fast, like that's actually too fast for good coffee. Try making pour over with a kettle some day, you'll notice a huge difference. Takes some skill but it's a fun hobby.
Americans don't know good coffee. Starbucks failed here because it tastes horrible. To us, Nespresso is passable, but most buy their own beans and grind them on a per cup basis.
I have both Keurig and Nespresso Original Line and Vertuo, also I have a Dolce Gusto for my husband from South America where it was very popular, but now he rarely uses Dolce Gusto and prefers Nespresso, but to save money we refill capsules, we like the taste of centrifugal coffee more than drip
Thinking there has to be something to this, a good cup of coffee, the single brew cups might be more preferable than the full pot of coffee sitting stale? Unclear, but there is a difference of taste to beans, quality. Uncertain as to what the consumer review is, but personal opinion/preferences, up over most brands. 😊
I really love my Breville Nespresso. I buy Peets pods when Costco has them. Otherwise, I buy a range of them online. If I want regular coffee, I’ll make an americano or just use a pour over.
I wish more pods were sold in stores locally. I don't have a local Nespresso store, and the only option I have is Starbucks pods at grocery stores. Yes, there is an online option but making the minimum order 50 pods isn't helpful.
I've had the Nespresso machine and it was lovely but the pods were expensive and needed more oz 😂 so I recently got the Keurig and can't stop drinking the donut shop brand pods 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wanted a kureg type machine when i went to college, but i tried it ONCE and it tasted like watered down coffee. 5 years later, i finally brought The nespresso as i am in medical school and i spend way to much time finding coffee when i want it. I took a risk as Ive never had nespresso before buying it. I absolutely love it. The coffee tastes strong. I think thats why i love it better than kureg
My concern about pod coffee machines is all the plastic waste going in the landfills. When you come up with a biodegradable way to make the pods, let me know. Until then I’ll just grind my own coffee & use my expresso machine.
Nespresso grew a lot in Europe when the patent of the pod ended, since then you find pods everywhere at a cheaper price. Before that you'd find pods only in Nespresso shops (they're not everywhere!) or on their website so not that practical. And that's why the Vertuo came they needed an other patent, but guess what it doesn't sell as much as the older machines since you can't find the pods at your local shop, if they want to sell machines and pods they know what to do but they won't do it since they'll make less money.
Keurig has a lot more third party products and brands compared to Nespresso. I mean you can buy a reusable K Cup compatible with your machine to use your own coffee, which saves a lot of money. Also makes you more picky about what K-Cup brands you buy. You can always find deals on K-Cups on days when you don't feel like using your own coffee.
We love our Nespresso more than Keurig, hands down; it's the best, in our opinion. And it wasn't their marketing with Georg Clooney at all. I'll go as far as saying neither my wife nor I are moved to purchase any products because of who their face is or how it's marketed. We came to love Nespresso because we tried it! It was in our hotel room during a visit to a city in Texas that we came across this incredible brew. It was there that we tried it, and it was then and there that we were simply blown away. Our Keurig, well, it's in the basement.
I grind My FogBuster Coffee, and I would use reusable kcups if I had a Keurig. But Sadly, I’m not a fan of Keurig because that coffee isn’t as fresh as Fogbuster coffee who brews air roasted, organic fair trade coffee fresh and ships out. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Keurig is nice, but I want the Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker more. I’m just Picky about Coffee and my Coffee maker but hope those who have machines enjoy them.
Nepresso coffees taste way better than any of the Keurig coffees; good flavors and not watered down. I used to own a Keurig machine until one day I went to visit my friends and they offered me a Nepresso coffee. From then, I gave away my Keurig and got myself a Nepresso machine.

Nespresso is lawsuit happy in the US, that's why we don't have cheaper pods because they try to sue every compatible pod maker out of existence.
Keurig exists for convenience. Nespresso is an entry into the coffee enthusiast market. Most Americans take coffee for purpose (caffeine) rather than taste like Europeans do. They are completely different markets.
There's a similar difference between the USA and Canadian market: Americans take coffee for caffeine, Canadians take coffee to stop from freezing.

I had a Keurig for 2 years then moved to Nespresso, the quality difference is mind blowing, the Keurig really is like dirty water, probably what you would get after reusing a Nespresso pod a few times and leaving the coffee out for a few days, it is that bad. The Nespresso is just wonderful.
Same here. My Keurig just collects dust and nowadays I kick myself when thinking how much money I wasted on Dunkin and Starbucks espresso drinks.
Honestly after using both they taste the same, but each their own… personally I prefer the keurig as there’s more of a variety of coffee pods compared to nescafe with their limited selection
I Agree, the Nespresso is better, tastes better, lasts longer. I had 2 Keurigs that I loved at first, but both broke after little over a year. The pin or needle that puncures the pod broke on both Keurigs. I've had the Nespresso for 5 years and I love it. However, the pods are expensive and there is no real alternative. I just recenlty put the Nespresso away and switched back to normal coffee.
Same. Keurig coffee is laughably bad. I called it "coffee-flavored water," because that's really all it is.
I just bought the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista, the newest one. OMFG! I'm in love!
I have both Keurig and Nespresso. They both have pros and cons. However, I enjoy my Nespresso machine a bit more. The flavors/taste can’t be beaten
Let's not forget about the fact that Nestle is easily the most unethical and outright evil companies in history
@FengG0Nope, Boycott all Nestle Brands.
When a company worth multi billion it automatically makes enemies who spread bad words about it to ruin it’s picture in public. a sheep blindly hear and accept whatever they say and repeat it whatever they say
@FengG0 I avoid it but I have in the past. However if I learn a product is one owned by them I will not get it again and search for a replacement brand. I am aware that a few people doing this won't hurt them but if I can't solve the problem, my next option is to not add to the problem.
@@IndianaDiy I like to buy local stuff made by the owner of the shop and I make several things and do my best to sell them for as close to (and often less than) commercial prices (i.e. coffee and organic vegetables). I think more people should try to do the same and weaken the hold that corporations like Nestle has on the community
@FengG0 So Nestle has a free pass to commit human rights abuses because they have committed human rights abuses to corner the market? Great morals you have there guy
I am obsessed with Iced coffee (i'd call it iced americano.) been a regular with nesrpesso vertuo for two three years now. Their double espresso/gran lungo sizes are great for making iced coffee. Cant wait to see what they are going to do next to step up their iced coffee game.
I used to drink pod coffee, but later decided it would be cheaper to buy an automatic bean-to-cup machine since I drink coffee every day. I have had my Jura for 6 years now and haven't looked back. The coffee is much better, there is no needless waste, and the per cup price is much lower.
pods are expensive in the long run, I Love my automatic coffee machine, 4 times the price than the keurig but much better coffee quality and build quality of the machine
Use a Jura S8 ! Best thing ever.
We have Jura now for 7 years. It’s one of the best purchases we have ever made!!
@@imcheaperthanyou9805 they are as reliable as a Swiss watch.
Im from usa. When i bought my home keurig single serve machine from QVC around 2010, i dont recall nesspresso having a machine sold in usa.
I recall George Clooney nesspresso tv commercials a few years later.
To buy a Nespresso over ten years ago you went to a place like Sur La Table. Always loved scent of hot coffee but hated bitter taste. Was in the store to buy my sister a Keurig. After tasting four cups of smooth coffee no bitter taste I walked out with a Pixie. Have since learned to ike the taste of Keurig. Hae a new Nesspreso that's small enough to travel . The sales lady at Sur La Table was correct. I had never had GOOD COFFEE. The only con is that f I want to sample the taste I must travel about 250 miles to a store.
Meanwhile in Australia, I have no idea what the hell a Keurig is, and Nespresso practically has a monopoly here.
I'm American, Keurig coffee is just good as coffee you can buy at a 24/7 petrol station.
Americans just wanna buy expensive crap on credit card that comes in lots plastic packaging.
Had Keurig, both Nespresso machines but currently love my Phillips espresso auto machine, fresh ground is the way to go.
Nespresso does have a recycle program which I’m mindful to use. When I order coffee refills I order their complementary recycle bags that you use to drop empty pods into and then you drop that bag of full pods which doubles as an ups mailer to ship back for recycling.
And even when they receive it, only 30% actually gets recycled.
@@Entertainment-And there's the additional pollution from shipping all of those back. All coffee pods should be 100% aluminium and be accepted by the same machines that accept aluminium soda cans.
I use both, i agree nespresso is better but its also prohibitively more expensive and then these nespresso keeps getting smarter blocking third party pods. So we use the Keurig more and the Nespresso is a more a niche nice product from time to time.
200 third party nespresso pods are for 40 dollars on woot that’s 50 percent cheaper than kcups
Nespresso makes espresso shots. Keurig tastes like 7 eleven coffee.
@@notorious3602Yes, I bought them on Amazon all the time. So much cheaper and tastes better than Keurig.
In Europe, Nespresso pods are cheaper and there are tons of good compatible capsules.
Nespresso is great for specialty coffee, Keurig is great for the everyday and variety and various options based on cost.
I own both. I’ve never found Nespresso to be a true Keurig competitor, one is best for specialty coffee (Nespresso) and the other for everyday coffee (Keurig) and which has the most variety.
Are they not the same thing? Nespresso makes coffee with a pod as well, they can also do espresso
@@double_joseph327 The Nespresso uses an under pressure system to make coffee or more specifically espresso which is great for cappuccinos, lattes etc. Keurig is more akin to a drip maker and is best for your day to day coffee not specialty grade espresso. Both are great compliments to each other but neither is a suitable replacement for the other, cafe models of keurigs try to mimic an espresso but doesn’t use a bar based pressure system like Nespresso. So no not the same thing at all.
It’s all about the foam. In my 18-20’s my mom got a keurig when it first came out, now I’m 32 and the nespresso is on point with flavor and correct boldness.
Imagine trying an actual espresso though…
I prefer my Keurig because I got it as a gift and I also received a reusable pod to go with it so that I can just put fresh ground coffee in. If I’m lazy I use cafe bustelo espresso ground coffee, after it finished brewing in my cup, I add silk sweet and creamy, then a couple of ice. My ideal cup of icy joe to wake me up in the morning.
I need a coffee after watching this video. Cheers!
Went from a Mr. Coffee years ago to Keurig and loved the switch. I love the versatility of the different coffees. I am also a "auto-delivery club" fan where I get reduced prices on pods since it auto ships from the Keurig website. Lately though, I am getting into having a French press. I have had one off and on for years. I pick up any brand of ground coffee, put in the scoops of coffee and then near-boiling water and let it stoop for about 5-7 minutes. Once you get the coffee to water ratio just right for your own personal taste, there is something sophisticated and enduring taking a coffee from a French press in the morning. :)
Jura. No plastic waste. WONDERFUL customer service. 10+ years. Fantastic coffee.
Keurig will never work outside of the U.S. because people not in the U.S. have higher standards for their coffee .
Even in the US. I don’t know any well traveled or eco conscious people who drink that nonsense
didn't people like you say the same thing about starbucks?
you and people like you may not like it, but the American thing usually sets the standard.
@@mariacheebandidos7183
Never.
But it didn’t do well in Italy.
Otherwise, outside of the US, Starbucks is like a status symbol.
People buy Starbucks and post the cup logo as showing off.
Definitely not done because of the coffee.
lol.
Now Japan is another story.
Starbucks had to accommodate to the high Japan standards, so it’s very different from a Starbucks in the US.
I moved to Japan 4 months ago, and even the McDonalds are absolutely good compared to ours in the US.
@@mariacheebandidos7183cope harder. Coffee shops in Europe are mostly independent small shops, nothing like Starbucks. They're usually cozy, serve real non-fast food and you go there to meet with friends.
Starbucks is for when you're at the airport or the train station and don't have time. It is to coffee what McDonald's is to food. Can it be a guilty pleasure once in a month? To some people, sure. But in 9 of 10 cases, it's something you settle for because you're in a hurry.
I just recently decided to buy a Keurig because I like the milder taste. I find Maxwell House, House Blend especially good and a nice change of pace from my espresso machine. K-cups are available in most stores and very easy to find. I’ve had a Nespresso for some years now before I bought my espresso machine and well before the Keurig. It’s a Vertuo and took me a while to find a flavor I liked. It was Giorno. After while, Nespresso decided to discontinue it so the machine sat idle for a while. I finally decided to try a couple different flavors and was also sent a sample package. It was the coffee in the sample package that I liked the best. It’s unfortunate that shipping is so expensive. I thought I’d order a sleeve of the sample……bianco piccolo. The price was $9.80 but shipping is $8.00!!! How can you justify paying that much for shipping? It is not available locally so you just can’t go to the supermarket to purchase it. I would need to buy several sleeves to get free shipping and since I had already ordered other sleeves with that sample, it didn’t make sense to buy more at that time.. Nespresso needs to make it easier to purchase coffee. It may well be the main reason people are turning to Keurig.
I have 2 Nespresso machines and have really liked them but recently bought the DeLonghi True brew and that is a real game changer. I love it 10 x more than capsule coffee
I love my Nespresso. I return my used pods and the shipping is very fast and easy. While the Vertuo I have isn't Blouerooth compatible it does tell you when to dona cleaning cycle. I can make coffeehouse quality drinks at home for the fraction of the cost at Starby's. I do appreciate the partnership to make pods available in grocery stores in the US. I would love to see more pods from different growers. The selection needs more variety. Perhaps with the advent of more users in the US,we will get more.
A couple of years ago, I got a 3-in-1 coffee maker produced by Instant Pot (yes, the pressure cooker/slow cooker company, lol). It takes K-Cups, Nespresso Pods and it works with reusable pods for both brands as well. So far, no issues other than the usual descaling needed, and I got it on sale at the time for less than 80 bucks.
Can you share the model name/number? I need to replace my Nespresso machine. Thanks.
@@LR-mh8hsits a piece of junk
I've had both. I like Keurig's variety, but the build quality of Nespresso machines is better.
I used to be content with my 30-year-old percolator and a can of Folgers. For single serving its all about the Aeropress. Hands down, can't be beat for single serving. And 100X cheaper than both Nespresso and Keurig. Though I would consider a Nespresso machine for the occasional handend...ish cup..
Buy the coffee beans, grind it yourself, then put it in basic coffee maker.
Need a single cup, buy a pour over coffee cone.
Save yourself tons of money and get way better coffee than Starsucks.
Boring boomer 😢
Basic coffee maker will not work.
Pour over does work.
French press and mocha pot also great options.
@@Dangic23 The Moccamaster is a very good drip machine. It's not going to get you quite as good results as a Hario V60, no, but it's 80% of the way there.
@Dangic23 I still think a basic coffee maker is better than any Keurig from my experience. There are simple hacks you can do like using two filters (one on bottom and on top) to make a reasonably good coffee. Will it be as good as an SCA-certified machine like the one I have? No, but it will produce something acceptable unlike anything Keurig does.
From Japan here, and we got a Nespresso machine because it was really cheap at Costco a couple years ago. It has been great, and the pods we buy are the Starbucks branded ones, and if purchased at Costco comes out to be about 80 yen a cup (0.51 USD).
The only thing I wish was better was a more convenient way to recycle the pods.
They just hooked me. Black Friday prices were hard to pass up on.
I love my Nespresso and the coffee tastes fantastic. The downside is the pods are expensive and there are less flavor options. There are more kcups available in the grocery stores for less money, but I don’t see myself switching anytime soon.
Buy covers and refill pods with different types and blends of single bean. Get a roaster roast green beans.
I had a K-cup machine. Used it for less than a year. Currently using a Nespresso Vertuo machine and have used it every day for 2 years. The fact that I can taste the difference of each and every pod is amazing to me and truly opened up what coffee is capable of to me is amazing.
Yep. Keurig is garbage
What type of water are you using in your Nespresso?
@@Victoria-bl4tw purified water
I love NESPRESSO! I live in the US and I wish I could buy European Nespresso which is infinitely better than the one sold in the US. I was in Europe this summer and was able to bring a few sleeves home to compare. Had I known how much better their product is, I would have bought a truckload.
Does anyone know if it's possible to import (retail) European Nespresso to the US? ☕
eBay sells a lot of nespresso sleeves imported from Europe, Israel and everywhere else. I always look on eBay for my favorite discontinued pods because they always do run out of the best ones.
Why do you think Europe pods are better? Just curious. Is it organic? Different plastic? Fresher?
@@tomunderwood4283 US Nespresso coffee used to taste like Europe's Nespresso but I noticed a significant difference (less flavor, more of a chemical taste) a few years ago. I continue to drink it bc it's still better than others. The US allows certain chemicals in our food that are not allowed in the European Union so my guess is that it's in the processing of the coffee or in the pods.
They only sell the machines.@@ejohnson3131

I have had my Nespresso Vertuo (on my second) for the past 7 years. Never going back to Keurig.
Nespresso beats keurig no doubt! But a good espresso machine is the way to go no doubt, unless you just want to press a button...making your coffee by yourself is fun and tasty!
12:25 "But they tried to" - THAT'S quality journalism
I don't think it's a marketing, branding, or retailing contest. For me it was the taste. K-cups were "OK" but Nespresso pods were so much like real freshly ground and brewed coffee. The taste was superior. Now, I hated the waste and lock-in that came with Nespresso, so I moved to a bean to cup machine. But if forced, it would definitely be Nespresso over K-cups hands down.
I even think the taste of the old Douwe Egberts/PHILIPS "Senseo" machines that were sold in the early 00's in the States tasted better than Keurig.
True, I don't understand why Keurig even made it that big? Nespresso is much better. We did the same we ditched Nespresso for whole bean cup machine.
@@EmilGhiuraubecause it’s not nestle a evil corporation, wich nespresso is a subsidiary
I've had both, but kept keurig. I'd say Nepresso coffees taste a bit better but, in the end like vhs vs beta its a price thing tones of no name coffee makers make pods at lower prices for the Keurig and add to that you can by reusable pods in a pk of 4 for 12$ this makes a regular can of coffee last 3 weeks @ 9$ I can spend that in a few days on Nepresso coffee pods. if your going to buy pods than Nepresso coffee is the one to go with if you want fresh every time with out the price using the coffee of your choice and no damage to environment Keurig with reusable pods is the clear winner
Agree. I’m too cheap to get a Nespresso 😂
Coffee is one of the few things I took from my time in the military to my civilian life.
A good cup in the morning and after dinner with a good dessert helps me throughout the day!
after dinner?
If you are looking to buy this is essentially a marketing/business analysis article.
You need understand the type of coffee you want to drink first and then research the type of system that will brew it for you. If you decide on Nespresso be aware Nespresso has 2 systems and deciding between the two (original and vertuo) takes a more in-depth look as they brew differently. Lots of reviews and advice on RUclips.
My family prefer espresso drinks and we have had a super automatic espresso machine at home for over 20yrs. I recently purchased a nespresso original pod machine for when we travel as it brews “espresso” under pressure. This replaced a rarely used K-cup brewer we had for trailer camping and an affordable but now broken semiautomatic espresso machine (plus all the accoutrements) we carried when renting a place with a kitchenette.
Enjoy your brew!
1 or 2 gram of ordinary coffee in an aluminium pod the same weight and beyond 30,- euros for the kilogram. Yes, that sounds like a real sustainable bargain to me...
I like that Nespresso challenged Keurig and now Keurigs are wayyy cheaper and more accessible to every consumer. I use a Keurig and am very satisfied with it. Nespressos are more expensive and the pods are also crazy expensive. I like to use my reusable k-cup with my keurig to ensure I am not being wasteful and still environmentally conscious.
That extra .20 cents breaks you hey
Isn't it cheaper to just buy ground coffee (by the bag or in jars) instead of the ones that come in capsules; more cups per dollar?
Yes. But Nespresso Vertuo and its pods are amazing.
If you don't drink a lot of coffee ground coffee goes off sooner.
@@charlesharper2357 yep
I started out drinking a keurig in college and i knew the coffee was horrible. Nespresso coffee is much better tasting but honestly not super great in comparison to just making your own coffee from beans.
Agreed. My oldest machine is a Nespresso Virtuo. I was not completely satisfied with it and after while bought an expensive Italian espresso machine. The difference is noticeable and quite frankly don’t really like the excessive artificial crema produced by the Nespresso. These machines are several years old. However, lately I started enjoying the milder coffee produced by a Keurig at a local business where they offer complimentary cups, so much so. that I bought one. I’m actually enjoying the milder taste for a change of pace. I’ll say that I’ve never liked Keurig until now. It’s possible that the brand of coffee made the difference for me.
My son has a nespresso system and I had coffee from it for three weeks. The coffee was OK but it was considerably weaker than what I was used to with my Keurig. So my typical morning coffee fix is 14 oz consisting of two Keurig pods one 8oz and one 6 oz. This typically costs me $1 per cup given the coffee and quantities I purchase. The two pod combo allows me to have a variety of flavors by choosing from six different pod types. My Keurig coffee tastes better and stronger than the nespresso that costs 3-6 dollars per cup. I just don't understand those who prefer the nespresso.
Nespresso made me love expresso shots and now I am buying my first ever coffee machine at age 33
Nespresso dominates the coffee scene in Switzerland. When I was there on vacation I could not find drip coffee anywhere, including coffee shops and restaurants. Drove me nuts.
You mean taking on and taking over Keurig. Nespresso is far superior
Also a trend is such companies changing their cups so the older Nespresso machines do not work properly anymore. Thus trying to force customers to buy new machines.
I have both and Nespresso coffee is a lot better than Keurig, but it’s expensive and not a lot of third party coffee pods available for Nespresso.
I like my Nespresso coffee but I sure hate the price they charge for the pods
💯
Having a coffee with milk first thing in the morning is so delicious! The Coffee Industry is responsible for more than 2.2 million U.S. jobs and generates more than $100 billion in wages.
How Many Cups of Coffee Do Americans Drink Each Day?
According to a survey by Statista Consumer Insights, coffee drinkers in the U.S. rarely stick to just one cup a day. Among those drinking coffee daily, almost 80 percent drank two or more cups while at home on a weekday. More than half consumed three or more cups on average on such a day. - by Katharina Buchholz.
The three main methods to process coffee are Natural (also called dry process), Washed (also called wet processed) and Honey (also called pulped natural). Each method of coffee lends itself to a different final cup flavour.
1:39 They're not really trying to dethrone Keurig..
1:44 How Nespresso is taking on Keurig in the U.S.
lol??
Nespresso is the best
The market size quote from Nestle is wrong, the currency is in CHF rather USD.
Used to get free Nespresso at an old job. My favorite pod was kinda light gold. So good.
I adore my Nespresso machine and coffee.
I have a resuable Keurig pod. Saves me hundreds of dollars a year.
i got used to keurig coffee till i was offered a cup of just basic drip coffee maker coffee at a family members house. the fact that the taste of that coffee blew me away made me realize just how terrible the coffee i had been drinking for years was.
Amen.
Exact same thing happened to me!!
I'll stay with my moka pot. Love the whole set up process.
If you are concerned about the price difference of single serve coffee pods, you should be drinking store brand drip coffee and buy it in bulk.
The reason I like Keurig is the variety. Sometimes I want plain coffee, sometimes flavored, other times decaf or tea. My grandkids like hot chocolate & hot apple cider. ALL IN ONE MACHINE! ☕️☕️☕️
You can do that with Nespresso machine too. I use mine for hot water for tea or hot chocolate often.
My sister made me get a Nespresso... I already had a drip machine, Tassimo, and 2 Keurigs, so why would I want another? No need. She said I don’t understand and need to trust her, so I bought it. Now I’ve given away my other machines and i’m ranting and raving about how good Nespresso is; the taste, the crema, it’s unbelievable, the best coffee I’ve ever had. Arguably The Best $200 I’ve Ever Spent. Better than any coffee shop, you could bring me a $100 coffee and I’ll still prefer my Melozio!
I have two nespresso machines. Luv them.
However I returned both K machines. The temperature was not hot enough. The brewing method did not help.
I am a nespresso customer!
I have both and they both serve a different audience I’m glad they aren’t worrying about competing with each other and worrying about listening to the consumers
The point is , people who drink k cup will never drink Nespresso. A friend of mine had the K cup machine and he’s constantly getting a new one, it keeps malfunctioning at least every 6 months. I’ve had a Nespresso for over 15 yrs and it still works.
Agree. Home Keurig models are notorious for malfunctioning and even breaking down entirely after a short time. I just decided to purchase a Keurig this year for a milder cup of coffee but selected a commercial model and have hopes that it will last.
Keurig will last for years. Problem is people are using water that clogs the Keurig machine and destroys it within 6 months or overtime. Filtered water and simply purified bottle water with no minerals for taste is the best way to go. Water with high minerals causes my frustrations with Keurig machines. I descale my Keurig machine less often and get better tasting coffee by following that rule.
that's unfortunate cuz Nespresso needs competition. I've been mostly been able to avoid Nestle and I want to keep that going. But I've always wanted a coffee pod system.
You really shoud not run scolding hot water through a plastic pod unless you enjoy having plastic in your coffee.
That’s the Keurig recipe
Exactly! Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who thinks that. I don’t get it.
I had a Keurig machine and could clearly taste the plastic in my coffee.
This was a new 2015 machine and using Keurig official pods.
Tried other brands and it was the same.
I threw away the machine after a month.
i prefer the taste of nespresso coffees, but am unsure if it's that much better than standard Keurig offerings to justify the price.
I adore my Nespresso machine but the prices of the pods are getting so out of hand 😭
The pods are also single-use and wasteful
@@autumntriesthingsthe nespresso pods are made completely of metal and nespresso has a program where you can put them in a bag and mail them for free and the metal is cleaned and sold and the coffee is composted so there is no waste with the product. Much better than keurig
Just do it the traditional way - get yourself an electric coffee grinder and a pour over coffee filter/mug combo. Spend more money on the “quality” of coffee beans, rather than useless coffee pods and machine.
@@LegendNeverD1esbut that’s drip coffee not espresso lol
The prices mentioned on here seem wild. In Europe it’s 50cents a pod when not on offer, Starbucks ones maybe 30 cents because we don’t care for that brand and here it was saying Americans are paying over a dollar.
Great report.
I absolutely LOVE my Nespresso!!!! But still use my Keurig 😆
My coffee machine was only $400 and with a push of a button grinds the coffee beans automatically and runs hot water through them up to 19 Bar, and so in 45 seconds I have an amazing hot cup of fresh grinned coffee.
What’s your coffee machine?
20 seconds? That's fast, like that's actually too fast for good coffee. Try making pour over with a kettle some day, you'll notice a huge difference. Takes some skill but it's a fun hobby.
@@KILLERONROAD After I press the button it takes 55 seconds for my large coffee to be ready. This includes the automatic coffee grinding process 😊
Don't brag if you're not revealing the machine.
Americans don't know good coffee. Starbucks failed here because it tastes horrible. To us, Nespresso is passable, but most buy their own beans and grind them on a per cup basis.
my workplace has Nespresso machines, they're pretty good.
I have both Keurig and Nespresso Original Line and Vertuo, also I have a Dolce Gusto for my husband from South America where it was very popular, but now he rarely uses Dolce Gusto and prefers Nespresso, but to save money we refill capsules, we like the taste of centrifugal coffee more than drip
I already own a keurig, I’m good.
"Environment sustainability" meanwhile adding DRM to machines to block 3rd party products and no mention of reusable cups.
Thinking there has to be something to this, a good cup of coffee, the single brew cups might be more preferable than the full pot of coffee sitting stale? Unclear, but there is a difference of taste to beans, quality. Uncertain as to what the consumer review is, but personal opinion/preferences, up over most brands. 😊
I really love my Breville Nespresso. I buy Peets pods when Costco has them. Otherwise, I buy a range of them online. If I want regular coffee, I’ll make an americano or just use a pour over.
I wish more pods were sold in stores locally. I don't have a local Nespresso store, and the only option I have is Starbucks pods at grocery stores. Yes, there is an online option but making the minimum order 50 pods isn't helpful.
I've had the Nespresso machine and it was lovely but the pods were expensive and needed more oz 😂 so I recently got the Keurig and can't stop drinking the donut shop brand pods 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wanted a kureg type machine when i went to college, but i tried it ONCE and it tasted like watered down coffee. 5 years later, i finally brought The nespresso as i am in medical school and i spend way to much time finding coffee when i want it. I took a risk as Ive never had nespresso before buying it. I absolutely love it. The coffee tastes strong. I think thats why i love it better than kureg
I really love the panera sip club and easier than all this and includes drinks beyond coffee :)
Used keurig it was okay I have a nespresso vertuo now I love my nespresso makes a way better coffee
My concern about pod coffee machines is all the plastic waste going in the landfills. When you come up with a biodegradable way to make the pods, let me know. Until then I’ll just grind my own coffee & use my expresso machine.
Please explain, Nespresso pod is aluminium. I buy pod covers and repack the pod with different home ground beans.
Use a reusable cup.. is 30 seconds of your time worth single use processed plant fiber products?
Nespresso grew a lot in Europe when the patent of the pod ended, since then you find pods everywhere at a cheaper price. Before that you'd find pods only in Nespresso shops (they're not everywhere!) or on their website so not that practical. And that's why the Vertuo came they needed an other patent, but guess what it doesn't sell as much as the older machines since you can't find the pods at your local shop, if they want to sell machines and pods they know what to do but they won't do it since they'll make less money.
I'm still rocking my Tassimo, machine has never let me down but it's getting tougher to find pods.
Tell me about it.
Was gifted a Nespresso, but only use it on weekends for my version of “fancy-dancy” coffee.
I moved on to just an expresso machine.
Keurig has a lot more third party products and brands compared to Nespresso. I mean you can buy a reusable K Cup compatible with your machine to use your own coffee, which saves a lot of money. Also makes you more picky about what K-Cup brands you buy. You can always find deals on K-Cups on days when you don't feel like using your own coffee.
I could always taste the melted plastic on kcups. Which is why dumped my machine in 2013.
Mine grinds beans before it makes coffee. Its good but more cleaning than single use pods.
A jazz musician who teached the trainer of Nowitzki said once:
"Coffee is my drug of choice"
Looks like the war on drugs turned into a war of drugs 🤙
As long as its not Folgers or Maxell House cups, Keurig does a pretty good job
you can use either one to make zero caf Teeccino! It tastes a little more espresso-y in the nespresso machine
Nothing beats v60 pourover
I prefer Nespresso to Keurig but I buy Italian capsules fit for Espresso coffee machine. Just as good and much less expensive.
We love our Nespresso more than Keurig, hands down; it's the best, in our opinion. And it wasn't their marketing with Georg Clooney at all. I'll go as far as saying neither my wife nor I are moved to purchase any products because of who their face is or how it's marketed. We came to love Nespresso because we tried it! It was in our hotel room during a visit to a city in Texas that we came across this incredible brew. It was there that we tried it, and it was then and there that we were simply blown away. Our Keurig, well, it's in the basement.
I grind My FogBuster Coffee, and I would use reusable kcups if I had a Keurig. But Sadly, I’m not a fan of Keurig because that coffee isn’t as fresh as Fogbuster coffee who brews air roasted, organic fair trade coffee fresh and ships out. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Keurig is nice, but I want the Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker more. I’m just Picky about Coffee and my Coffee maker but hope those who have machines enjoy them.
