I\u2019ll be the first to admit it: I\u2019m a total coffee nerd. Whether it\u2019s pulling espresso shots<\/a>, using a moka pot, or standing over a cup of pour-over<\/a> while meticulously pouring concentric circles of water from a gooseneck kettle<\/a>, I can never get enough sweet coffee gear and bags of delicious beans. (It\u2019s probably a holdover from when I was working behind the counter making coffee after college.) However, I\u2019ve been looking for something a little bit less time consuming to streamline my morning routine \u2014 and though I do love regular ol\u2019 drip coffee, I\u2019m in the market for something that\u2019s both practical and<\/em> palate-pleasing, and most cheap drip coffee makers lack the latter. I\u2019m also not looking to break the bank, and with holiday sales in full swing, I\u2019ve stumbled upon the one coffee maker that you should snag while it\u2019s marked down: the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine<\/a> is exactly what I\u2019m looking for this winter, and while I might not spring for something like this at almost $200, with the serious markdown it\u2019s currently sitting at at Williams Sonoma, I\u2019d practically be losing money if I didn\u2019t jump on this deal ASAP. It doesn\u2019t just look slick, either \u2014 this one-touch brewing system makes both regular coffee and <\/em>espresso, with blend-specific brewing that ensures each cup tastes like something you\u2019d get at a cafe. Plus, the machine makes two different sizes of espresso and three different sizes of drip\u00a0\u2014 all the way up to 14 ounces \u2014 and uses fully recyclable capsules with the option of using the convenient and free!) Nespresso recycling program<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n But here\u2019s the coolest part: the Nespresso VertuoPlus<\/a> leans on the knowledge of the coffee experts that helped design it: They created an all-new brewing system using Centrifusion Technology, a patented extraction technology developed by Nespresso. Thanks to its built-in barcode system, the coffee maker optimizes brew time and temperature for different capsules without you having to adjust any settings. Just pop a capsule in and close the lever to enjoy seriously delicious coffee in seconds. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n And, I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s drooling over this bad boy, either, since it has a 4.7-star average rating on Williams Sonoma from over 3,000 reviewers. The Kitchn contributor Dana also loves her Nespresso<\/a>. \u201cWe get to thoroughly enjoy every cup of coffee we make,\u201d she writes. \u201cI thought the little burst of joy every morning would wear off, but it hasn\u2019t. There\u2019s just something so satisfying about pressing the button and watching my favorite mug fill with a creamy cup of coffee. In the summer I use the made-for-iced-coffee blends and, oh boy, are those a treat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n So, if you\u2019re looking to upgrade your current coffee setup but don\u2019t want to break the bank, now\u2019s the time to snag a Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine<\/a> while it\u2019s on sale. It makes for an excellent gift for any coffee lover (yourself included)!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
