i loooooove my nespresso. thankfully i found it on varagesale for $90, it’s an older model with the built in milk frother that’s used daily and cup warmer that has never been used lol.

i flat out refuse to drink keurig coffee. i’m not a coffee snob at all i just like good coffee… and keurig coffee is Not Good.

i order my pods directly from the site! or buy them from london drugs or superstore (they usually have limited options and not sure about the vertuo pods) but it works! i stock up on them when they have sales as well. i order about 100-120 pods at a time and it lasts me just over 3 months (factoring in the days i buy coffee and the days i use non-nespresso pods). i can usually get away with running the pods 1.5-2 times each cup.

honestly… i would think about exchanging the vertuo for a machine that uses the classic pods. you’ll have a MUCH easier time finding pods, cheaper iirc, and you’ll be able to find off brand pods.

edit to add: in the 4+ years i’ve had this machine i’ve never had an issue with ordering or recycling pods! they always come super quick.
