5 insider/expert tips below (I own both super automatic Phillips/Saeco LatteGo 3454 & Nespresso Latissima+ )
1) The science of coffee & machines since I majored in biochemistry:
Regular drip coffee machines such as coffee pots & Keurigs have ZERO pressure;
French Press has about 20 lbs of pressure;
Aeropress has about 30 lbs of pressure
Espresso machines have much higher pressure --the standard mininum pressure for espresso machines that you find in Europe & 5-star restaurants/coffee shops is about
200 to 225 lbs of pressure PSI aka as
13 to 15 BARS of pressure for PROFESSIONAL machines used in good coffee shops/restaurants
Nespresso is at the high end with 19 bars of pressure -about 275+ lbs of pressure PSI
-- Jura; Saeco/Phillips;
WMF; DeLonghi; etc also all have mininum 13 to 15 bars of pressure or higher also for their professional & at-home machines
-- any machine that has at least above the mininum pressure/bars that will ADVERTISE IT --if they don't tell you how much pressure it has; then it's because it has below that --such as the Ninjas or Bella (I had to research them heavily to find they had only about 50 lbs of pressure)
2) Independent lab tests by food/coffee companies have shown that have the mininum 200+ lbs of pressure you squeeze out
&
extract over 900+ essential oils
&
each essential oil is a different flavor & aroma;
thus you are getting at least
900+ different flavors & 900+ different aromas from professional 13 to 19 bar pressure machines (200-275+ lbs of pressure)
This is why coffee shops/restaurants that use the above hi-pressure machines smell so good
3) You know how cutting open an apple & exposing it to air/oxygen; the apple turns brown from oxidation?
Same thing happens to coffee after you grind the coffee beans & expose it to air/oxygen
--Coffee grinds go STALE after about
20 MINUTES according to lab tests by food/coffee companies --this is why old coffee doesn't taste good
&
why you should always use your coffee grinds within 20 minutes of grinding your beans
--do NOT grind beans at the store unless you intend to use them within 20 minutes
If you order at a restaurant/coffee shop; make sure they grind the beans fresh or within 20 minutes earlier before you ordered &
NOT using the grinds they grinded hours earlier at 6 AM when they opened
4) Nespresso is one of the few coffee companies in the world that grinds their beans in an
OXYGEN-FREE CHAMBER (similar to vaccuum chamber) where all the oxygen is sucked out & replaced with INERT nitrogen so there is no oxidation -
then
it's hermetically sealed air-tight in
RECYCLABLE aluminum capsules with a food safety liner on the inside so that the coffee grinds never touch any oxygen nor aluminum either
==
P.S.
5) Avoid capsules that use plastic -the high heat/pressure in the machine might cause some of the plastic to leach into your coffee
Avoid paper capsules/coffee bags UNLESS they are have a plastic or aluminum lining on the inside or else oxygen will permeate thru
The standard ONE-WAY vents you see on some coffee bean bags is to because beans/grinds slowly release gas aromas as they sit on the shelf so use them before the 'Best by date' -you can still use them afterwards but it won't taste so good

Is this a good deal for nespresso pods? I feel like when I get them on sale they're a bit cheaper in the 20-22% off range. Last one I bought off Amazon was the $35 pack for $27.29.
ps. for anyone that finds these expensive, i highly recommend these:

These are ~$0.58/ea. if you find a deal like you mentioned, that would be ~$0.55/ea. Genuine Nespresso capsule generally don't go on sale too much, so anything helps. They have a buy five, get two occasionally (so $0.50/ea).

There's also a great recipe at the Nespresso site another poster posted earlier for mixing it with 80 ml of orange juice & 1 to 2 teaspoons of syrup/sugar for a great mocktail if you like mixed drinks
