As the weather gets chillier, so grows the appeal of a hot coffee or espresso in the morning. Sure, you probably have a coffee maker—but do you have a nice one? During the run up to Amazon's October Prime Day sale, you can pick up a Nespresso coffee maker and still have some money left over for some espresso pods.
Here are the best deals I'm seeing right now.
I've drunk coffee from every sort of pod and packet, and while Keurig has the brand recognition, I really prefer the Nespresso. Sure, they're a little tricky to clean, but they're worth it—though they are expensive. These early Prime Day deals can help with that.
The Vertuo Next is my pick for the best Nespresso coffee maker for most people. It makes espresso and coffee and includes a milk frother (the Aeroccino3, which is currently on sale by itself for $66, down from $99), so you can also make lattes, cappuccinos, and the like. This machine typically retails for $230, but it's down to $149 right now, just two dollars higher than its lowest-ever price, according to price tracking tools.
Other models of the Vertuo, minus the frother, are likewise discounted by 35% or more from their list prices. These are actually the same machine as the model on sale for $149, just missing the frother. Given the difference in price is just $23 to $30, depending on the model, and picking up the frother on its own will cost you upwards for $65, I know what I'd do. (I already have the frother, and I love it—it's great for both lattes and hot chocolate.)
