Our beauty editor – and former Starbucks barista – Laura has spotted a brilliant deal on the coffee machine she calls a game changer, but you’ll need to be quick as it’s ending today
Following on from a stint working as a barista at Starbucks when I was at university, I like to think that I know a thing or two about good coffee. As such, my coffee pod machine is one of my most used kitchen appliances, whirring into action at least two or three times a day – and my favourite model is now hugely reduced in a limited-time-only sale.
I’ve tried a number of different coffee machines but my Nespresso Vertuo Next is, I think, the best, for taste, easy and style. Usually priced at around the £125 mark on Amazon or £149 on the Nespresso website, it’s now down to £65 on Amazon as part of its big spring sale – a saving of 48%.
Not only that, but this offer also entitles you to 50 free Nespresso Vertuo capsules from the Nespresso website; given that these range from 47p-85p per pod, that’s saving you at a minimum of £23.50 of top notch coffee for free.

This offer gets you the Nespresso Vertuo Next automatic pod coffee machine by Magimix in Matt Black (an Amazon exclusive) for £65 instead of the usual £124.38, or you can buy it together with a milk frother for £95 instead of the usual £199; an even better saving.
If you’re a coffee connoisseur, you’ll love the brews that the Vertuo makes; they are, in my opinion, far superior to the original Pixie machine and, depending on the variety you buy, really do taste like café-made coffee. It’s also handy to just have one button to press instead of selecting your size, and the machine slides the used pod back into the empties bucket in a very slick and satisfying way.
I had previously tried the smaller Vertuo Pop and I initially didn’t see why the bigger device could be better, but little things like the adjustable cup tray and bigger compartment for used pods did actually make a difference.
The biggest downside to the Vertuo machines is that you can only use Vertuo pods, which are currently only available through Nespresso. These are more expensive, and non-compostable – although I’ve bought this nifty little £12.99 device so I can recycle them at home.
In summary, if you like a good coffee and are on the look-out for a new home machine, the Vertuo Next gets my vote – especially when it has such a big discount.
As an alternative, Lavazza machines are also a popular choice, in particular the Lavazza A Modo Mio Deséa. Our head of shopping Zoe also recommends the Grind Two Nespresso pod-compatible coffee machine, which looks sleek and shiny and makes excellent drinks.
