Honest, I thought you posted in the wrong thread and I was confused why you cared about the drop in Palladium.

I thought it was ZenOps posting.

At work we are nearly out of k-cups for the Keurig. But there's lots of Nespresso pods. So that's what I've been drinking. Can confirm its better than Keurig.

Can confirm, Nespresso is better than both Keurig and Tassimo.

I wont argue that a real espresso machine is better, since they aren't really competing in my mind.

Apparently you can now buy Starbucks branded nespresso pods at grocery stores which is a plus

Can confirm true. Was at Can Tire and seen dem. My workplace had this fancy huge professional Keurig machine for clients, which was pretty bad ass in itself, but the coffee was shiet. We got rid of them and now use some fancy Nespresso 4 cup at a time machine for clients, and 2 regular consumer Vertuo machines for staff. The amount of coffee dealership staff drink especially technicians if nutso.

But between the 2 machines, you can def see the difference. Keurig is coffee flavored water, where Nespresso brews pretty dark ass coffee and the crema at the top. But different brewing system. Keurig is 1 hole and top and bottom. Water goes through. Nespresso theres like 30 holes poked in it, and the disc spins in the centrifuge. I dont even drink coffee much and can taste the difference.

Obviously Coffee Porn.

Why not all of the above

So what's the best Nespresso machine? I'd like to get one for the office.

Depends on what you want to make with it. You can get the fancier espresso/automatic machines or just the capsule/coffee ones. I recently replaced my VertuoPlus Deluxe Round Head machine with another one because of the larger water reservoir compared to the Flat Head one. Probably had it 6-8 years so it wasn't worth fixing for 2-300 hundred bucks. I think some machines are on sale too right now.

Whichever one they give you for free during a promotion, as long as it’s vertuoline.

2 companies make the Nespresso machines for consumers on the Vertuo side. Breville (round head) and Delonghi (flat head). I myself, have the round head. I believe Breville ones last longer and the water is brewed hotter from when I was in the market for one few years back and did some comparisons. I have the old style one where the water and the pod collector are on each side.

Delonghi was on sale, bought that. Apparently they're exactly the same these days except for external appearance. Who knows.

This thing works quite well. Much better coffee than Keurig. Espresso is actually damned good, better than a Starbucks latte.

Agreed. I use nespresso at work. I'm worth it.

[suntan]

I'm considering taking it home and using it there instead.

The only problem I really have with nespresso is if you are an addict it’s an expensive habit at a $1 plus per coffee.

I hit kijii or marketplace for capsules, never a shortage of people who got Nespressos as gifts and want to get rid of it all. I often find deals on bulk quantities of unloved flavours for less than .40-.50 /capsule on average. Right in the wheelhouse of as much as I'll pay for a coffee at home.
