Nespresso VertuoLine Melozio 60-Count

I'm a caffeine fiend and love a good espresso but don't always have the time to swing down to Starbucks (or wherever) to get one. These pods are great as a daily alternative. A regular shot of espresso is typically 1 fluid ounce (a doppio is two) and costs around $1.25 at Starbucks. These pods cost about $1.30 but each pod makes 7.8 ounces, almost a full cup. So at Starbucks you're paying $1.25 per ounce where here you are paying $0.16 per ounce and that's a big difference. The coffee comes out just as tasty as it does at the coffee shop with its signature creamy head. Granted, you might not want to drink the equivalent of about 8 shots of espresso, but if you are combining it with stuff to make it a latte or something (which I occasionally do) it's great. You can also buy pods that make a lesser amount. You do have to shell out the money for the actual Nespresso machine, but it certainly pays for itself over time compared to swinging through the coffee shop every day. You can return the pods to recycle them (I'm sort of a tree hugger) which is a bonus. Pros * Great taste and texture * Great value compared to commercial coffee * Recyclable pods Cons * You need to buy a Nespresso machine to use them
