There was a time I refused to drink coffee at home because no matter how strong of a coffee pod I bought for my Keurig, the coffee always tasted watered down. I started wondering whether I'd ever achieve the same hand-crafted, coffee shop taste at home -- until I was gifted theNespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi last Christmas.

With this Nespresso machine, I can make a regular cup of coffee or an espresso shot, which can then be used to make a latte, cappuccino, and more -- all at the touch of a button while keeping the flavor of the real thing a barista would make. 

The best part is that the machine is 30% off today on Amazon, with an extra$11 coupon available at checkout, making it only$128 compared to its usual$200 price tag. 

The machine is a long-term investment: Instead of spending up to$7 a drink every morning at a coffee shop, I can have my drink of choice on command whenever I want -- for the cost of a pod, which starts at around$1.

This specific model is also convenient because it has a water tank that swivels, making it easier to find a place for the gadget in your kitchen. The water tank holds 60 ounces of water, enabling you to make around 12 cups of coffee at 5 ounces each or 7 cups at 7.7 ounces each before having to refill the tank. 

Whether you want to upgrade your coffee game for yourself or gift someone a better coffee experience, at this price, theNespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi is a great buy.
