When it comes to Labor Day shopping, it’s easy to get lost in the sauce. With so many deals, it’s hard to differentiate between what’s worth the purchase and what merely catches your eye because of the price drop. I swear, a dip in price alone can lead to a purchase you didn’t necessarily need! However, if there’s anything we can assure you of, it’s the quality of the coffee maker in our office, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine.

In fact, our executive director of commerce liked this machine so much he bought it for himself! “It makes incredible drip coffee with such a thick, foamy crema that I don’t even need to add milk (that’s how I usually take my coffee). I also love that I can make incredibly delicious iced coffee and cold brew in seconds.” And that’s not all this coffee maker can do! Keep reading to discover all of its unique features.

What Is the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine? 

Currently on sale for 30% off, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine makes both regular coffee and espresso — unlike most Nespresso machines, which only make espresso. It uses special Nespresso VertuoLine capsules that can brew coffee in 5-, 8-, and 12-ounce sizes as well as single and double espresso sizes, either hot or over ice. “I look forward to using this machine anytime I need a midday pick-me-up,” shopping writer Nikol says. “It makes coffee in a flash, and the results are always strong enough to get me through the second half of the day.”

Here’s the best part: The Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ leverages the expertise of the coffee specialists who helped design it. They developed an all-new brewing system using Centrifusion technology, a patented extraction method 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, close the lever, and enjoy seriously delicious coffee in seconds.

What Amazon Reviewers Are Saying

Rating: 4.4 / 5

“Love, love my Nespresso machine so far! I’ve had it for over a month and look forward to my silky indulgence in the morning. [I] cut down on my Starbucks runs! My husband is hooked, too, now! It makes one of the best espresso or coffee we’ve had! The pods aren’t cheap, but if you are looking to cut back on that Starbucks or other coffee place, then these are more affordable than your coffee run, and you don’t have to leave the house!” — Coril7

“Perfect! It’s quiet, quick, compact, and makes delicious, perfect-temperature espresso bevs. I also love that the pods are recyclable.” — Sarah T.

“Sturdy, durable, little espresso machine that serves as my battery pack. It never leaks, makes my drinks at a perfect temperature, makes a brief sound, easy to clean, and looks great.” — Samuel Alas

Typically priced at $150, the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Deluxe Coffee and Espresso Machine is a steal. It even comes with a capsule-tasting pack, so you can test each capsule and find the one that’s the perfect fit for you. If you need a new espresso machine or simply want to upgrade your setup, give this pick a try while it’s on sale.
