For New users (people who placed 2 or less orders), you should use ESPRESSOGIFT , you get 10 free original pods, a set of two coasters, and free cups
Keep in mind those are small espresso cups, if you want bigger cups you can use code COFFEEGIFT for the vertuo welcome bundle, but that includes 10 free vertuo pods that you cant use unless you have a vertuo machine.

If you like espresso, or espresso-based drink, the Nespresso Original system is worth to take a look at. Their other system called "Vertuo" uses centripetal to extract the coffee by spinning the pods at a pre-determined speed, amount of water and time embedded in the barcode printed at the rim of each pod. The brewer can read and brew accordingly.
Of course none of these 3 systems (Keurig, Nespresso Original, Nespresso Vertuo) are compatible with each other.

100ct discovery pack - $41
Signature welcome gift which is a "set of cups, a sleeve of our latest coffee, a set of two coasters and a recycling bag" using VERTUO CODE: COFFEEGIFT | ORIGINAL CODE: ESPRESSOGIFT
Add Original Free Sample Pack in right side bar for free during checkout (no code required). I believe this is the 14 capsule sample pack but unsure.
Also, be aware the sleeve of capsules in the welcome gift you chose are for Vertuo and won't work in an OL machine. The ESPRESSOGIFT code is for OL line.
I don't know how often deals are for Nespresso capsules or how much of a discount they usually get but correct me if i'm wrong, it seems normal price is closer to .9-1/each where as deals fetch it around .6-.8+/per so I would think this is a good deal at under .4/ea??
I understand that the choices will be a huge part of the decision on this deal but like I've said, I am a avid coffee drinker and they all taste similar to me. I don't mind the 2 sleeves of decaf as it's under 15% of the total capsule haul after promo code and the free cups (huge value since I don't have any dedicated cups) are well worth it and should be a no brainer, no??
I have an unopened Vertuo, wondering if I should sell it in FB Market and get an Original Line instead (which sells for a higher price than Vertuo). I'm not a heavy coffee drinker so if the quality of Vertuo-made coffee is worthy of the price difference of pods, I don't mind paying extra.
As for the Vertuo line, I purchased one for the office and I do see some usage in the past 5 years. However since it's an office environment most people go for the Mr. Coffee drip. I say about 40% of the users are using the Vertuo with their own pods (versus company-paid free grinds).
While indeed the Original is more an espresso system, the Vertuo produces more of "coffee" as we know it. However it does came out more "elegant" than your drip or even Keurig system. It may not able to brew you a massive big cup (quantity) the bar (quality) is higher for pod/capsule-based coffee systems.
See if you can find one an try it out?

Tip: If you want more volume, sort of a not-strong-Americano, do this with the Originaline Nespresso capsules:
- Make an espresso with one capsule.
- Eject that capsule, make a 2nd espresso into the same mug with a new capsule and eject that one, too.
- Add 3-5 ounces of water (either 2 'shots' of water via Nespresso'ing a couple times with an empty capsule, or from an electric kettle or whatever)
- Optionally add milk or cream (I can't bring myself to say "add sugar"... just no
)
Of course this isn't as tasty as making a real pourover, but you also don't need to have and grind fresh beans for it, either.Join The Conversation
