I was going to order but then read the reviews online. Seems like even the new items are recycled and the customer service is horrible. Not worth it
Never seen a new item listed at Secondipity before. Nor do I understand the complaints. They've always been reliable. For years.

I had to return an item once due to buyers remorse (I found a better deal), and it was painless.

Seriously, what is the issue lol

If you spend 6-10 dollars on a cup of Starbucks or any other store brand, the Nespresso machine is a great deal. At an average of $1.50 per pod, you will save by using the Nespresso machine. I have had mine for over a month, and I have stopped going to Starbucks, Coffee Bean, etc. I have the Plus. I've heard bad things about the Next.
As was mentioned above, you will do much better by buying an original machine. Amazon has sales on either Peet's, Starbucks or Lavazza at least every 2-3 months. The price for these original pods on sale can be 30-40 cents per pod.

Not 100% accurate since secondipity sell different items on their site and ebay and amazon. The items sold on ebay may be more guaranteed to be the condition stated or some other reason. Unrelated product but has the seller of secondipity on ebay to check it out - https://www.ebay.com/itm/27601502...media=COPY

Here's their amazon - https://www.amazon.com/sp?seller=A3FG7YW6YCE8DR

My personal experience is I bought 2 items from their website, Philips Hue Color 1000 lumen starter pack, received the 800 lumen. Condition was as stated (open box). First order was cancelled and refunded for some odd reason but item was relisted as the exact item. Maybe they cancelled noticing it was 800 lumens but forgot to change the product when relisting. Emailed them, got a return label, dropped it off at UPS and got refunded when I told them I dropped it off. Painless. Second item Roborock S8+ (open box), came brand new. The original roborock shipping box was quite damaged and taped up but the actual product box was unopened. The damage probably was why it was labeled open box?

Either way, the comments on slickdeals or any forum does seems to deviate heavily from their ebay and amazon ratings. My opinion is forums and amazon have far more negative ratings because buyers typically don't post positive things of their seller. At least I almost never rate a seller on Amazon but do it quite often for ebay. People with neutral/positive are far less likely to remember they purchased from secondipity once and comment about it on a forum vs someone who has had a negative experience. Overall, ebay may be the most indicative because I believe it has a higher turnout on receiving ratings than amazon or forums, despite my somewhat negative experience with them myself.

That cup is not the same as a $1.5 Nespresso.You need to add a lot more stuff and that is just the cost of the espresso.Too pricey for the quantity, you can get a good espresso shot for $3-4 by a barista.

Excellent deal on the frother. Will take my chance despite questionable comments. Amex will take care of things if the retailer doesn't.

if you go to a local coffee with real baristas, they will charge you $7-8 and ask for a tip.
The coffee scene in my neck of the woods (hipster/upscale) is quite competitive. They charge around 2-3 bucks to pull a shot of espresso. $7-8 is seems like a scam for people that associate price with quality. I pull my own shots at home though, averaging at about a buck ($18 bag, good quality bean and roast).

As long as everyone knows Nestle and Nespresso are about the worst company in the world. Child slave labor is used for their coffee

This is how they get you - the vertuo line machines are usually much cheaper but the pods are proprietary and cost 2-3x more with no 3rd party options available.

If you're looking for original line, it will cost you more for the machine but lots of options for the pods. We have this one and love it: https://secondipity.com/open-box-...ghi-black/

There is a difference between child labor (noted in your 2020 article) and slave labor. Not clear why you state that Nespresso employs slave labor. I agree that child labor is a problem. Child labor also exists in the US.

You weaken your argument when you exaggerate the facts.

You cite another older article that names Nestle, not Nespresso.

Child labor and slavery exits in many nations and industries. Don't buy electronics made in China. Don't buy meat processed by Tyson. But this does not mean that Nespresso is about the worst company in the world. However, if you see an article that states that Nespresso either knowingly or unknowingly bought a batch of coffee beans from a farm that employed child labor, by all means you have the right not to buy their coffee. Not buying their product may incentivize them to do a better job policing their suppliers.

There's child labor, and then there's child labor. In many developing countries it's common for all family members to work together at the family business, especially in agriculture and farming. Often these family farms sell to large corporations, either directly or through buyers. In many cases, the family children working means the difference between abject poverty and a relatively successful family business. This is a common practice in the grain belt of the U.S. as well, where kids over 12 or so help during busy times of planting and harvesting, feeding livestock, etc. It builds a strong work ethic in youngsters who will one day take over the family operation.

Children working for a wage in an industrial, mining, or factory setting, on the other hand, is absolutely over the line and should be eradicated wherever possible. That means facilitating a living wage for the parents, one way or another, so that the kiddos can get educated and build a better life than their parents had. Easier said than done, though, in places where living hand to mouth is the norm.

man, now they have the new frother too. Would have ordered that instead of the used one.

Sweet, actually just saw a nespresso unit with a frother for $35 left, so got that instead. Going to return the single frother I got.

Got the vertuo plus deluxe titan and a new frother for $100. I went to a nespresso store and they had multiple vertuo Pop and Next units on display, but just one vertuo plus in the back corner. The store associate also mentioned that the issues with the vertuo next were fixed.
