5 Reasons to Get A Nespresso Subscription — With A Nespresso Machine for $1

With the rise in inflation and taxes, many of us are seeing an increase in our daily spending. Today, it’s getting harder to find a cup of kopi below $1…let alone a long black or cappuccino.

But what if you could get a cup of café-style coffee from just $0.78 a capsule, all in the comfort of your own home?

With Nespresso, you can elevate your daily coffee experience in just a few minutes. Each Nespresso coffee capsule contains the right amount of roasted coffee grounds, so there’s no mess and no fuss involved. With just the touch of a button, your Nespresso machine pairs just the right amount of water and pressure, for a coffee with delicious aroma and thick crema. The dense, hazelnut-coloured layer that forms on top of the coffee, is a sign of high-quality coffee and its smooth, creamy texture enhances the experience.

Nespresso’s range of carefully selected coffee beans are masterfully processed from a range of traditional to modern techniques. Their coffee experts in Switzerland ensure that the aroma and quality of each of their different single origin and coffee blends delight the taste buds of coffee lovers. And with Nespresso Subscription, you can enjoy these coffees starting from $38/month.

1. 4 Custom Subscription plans available from $38/month

How many cups of coffee does your household consume a month? I like the flexibility that Nespresso Subscription gives with its 4 plans, that each includes a different Nespresso machine:

Nespresso Subscription Plans

Consumption Price Coffee machine and plan
1 to 2 coffees a day $38 to $48/month Inissia/Vertuo Pop
3 coffees a day $68/month CitiZ
4 coffees a day $88/month Vertuo Next Bundle

These plans that are in tune with my coffee consumption habit is a nice touch from Nespresso, and it’s a good gauge of which plan I should get if there are other coffee drinkers in my household.

Each Nespresso Subscription plan runs for at least 12 months.

2. Own A Nespresso machine for just $1

Ah yes, did I mention that each subscription plan comes with a Nespresso machine you can own at only $1?

With Nespresso Subscription, you only need to make a one-time payment of $1 together with your 1st monthly fee — no matter what plan you take — and the machine is yours to keep*.

Once your subscription plan begins, your chosen machine will be delivered to your doorstep and you can start enjoying Nespresso with your Nespresso credits.

The nice thing about having a Nespresso machine is that each touch of a button delivers the exact amount of water, temperature, pressure and speed. This is a foolproof and convenient way for you to enjoy cafe-style coffee at home.

*You’ll need to stay on the plan for at least 12 months

3. Flexible use of monthly credits

Your monthly subscription fee is fully converted into Nespresso credits that can be used on any Nespresso product. Choose to shop conveniently online, on the Nespresso app or at any Nespresso boutiques.

Other than coffee capsules, you can also use your credits on Nespresso accessories to enhance your coffee experience, such as espresso cups, capsule dispensers or milk frothers, and more.

These credits are also valid for up to 6 months after your subscription ends.

For example, if my household drinks 2 cups of coffee a day, I would get the $48/month plan. If I buy 50 capsules for the first month (capsules are priced from $0.78 each) — I can enjoy free delivery on my first order using my Nespresso credits — I would have used only $38 of my $48 worth of my monthly credits for the first month. This means I will accumulate $10 + $48 = $58 of credits for my 2nd month that can be used on other Nespresso products or coffees at any Nespresso boutique.

4. Enjoy the wide range of exceptional coffees from Nespresso

With my own Nespresso machine, I can savour coffees of diverse aromas and flavours. There are different ways to enjoy them too — with milk poured in, with milk froth, black, or as an espresso shot.

Nespresso offers a range of coffee blends, ranging from dark roasts to balanced, lighter blends, as well as limited edition releases throughout the year - small batches of rare and unique coffees.

Some of our favourites are the Master Origins range, which consists of single-origin coffees sourced from across the globe. The distinctive aromatics of these coffees are not only linked to their countries of origin, but also to the specific way of processing coffee by local farming communities. For example, Master Origins Ethiopia — sun-dried coffee with dry processed Arabica that brings delicate floral notes to this blend.

For milk coffee lovers — we would recommend Nespresso’s Barista Creations coffee. Inspired by the creativity and expertise of the world’s finest baristas, these coffees are created for you to enjoy delicious milk coffee recipes at home.

Your used capsules also get a second life — easily recycle them with Nespresso and you might even win prizes made of the recycled aluminum of used Nespresso capsules.

5. Additional benefits after your first 12 months on the Nespresso Subscription

After 12 months, your subscription is automatically renewed — with added perks. This time, you’ll get an extra 10% credits but you will continue to pay the same price per month.

10% is a pretty sweet deal:

$38/month becomes $41.80 worth of credits per month = ~5 more capsules/month
$48/month becomes $52.80 worth of credits per month = ~6 more capsules/month
$68/month becomes $74.80 worth of credits per month = ~9 more capsules/month
$88/month becomes $96.80 worth of credits per month = ~12 more capsules/month

These additional credits really do add up. That’s an extra $45-$105 worth of credits gained in your 2nd year of subscription.
