Nespresso

I got a Nespresso for Christmas. Looking for tips on the best place to buy Vertuo pods. Where are the deals?

My local Costco just started selling Nespresso pods. I am pretty sure they would have the best price. I would look at Amazon second.

My parents won a Nespresso 2 years ago. They've yet to put it into use because the pods are too expensive.

I think the Virtuo pods, the ones shaped like flying saucers, can only be made by Nespresso themselves at the moment.
With the older shape, like a flower pot, Nespresso lost their exclusivity some years ago which enabled other companies to compete with them on price. Hence the new shape!
In the UK there are so many providers of the old shape now that the prices are quite low. Major brands like Starbucks and L'Or can be found on offer as low as two pounds ($2.60) for ten pods.

I bought my son a Nespresso (Vertuo line) last year. You can't really buy the pods anywhere. There is a Nespresso store at a mall in our area that I imagine has them. Otherwise, you have to order from Amazon or Nespresso directly. Whatever you see in the store is for the Original machine. Oh, yeah, Bed Bath and Beyond sells the Vertuo pods through their website also. I think Target might also.

I purchase mine online directly from Nespresso. I usually buy in large quantity and wait until they have a freebie or deal I like associated with purchase.
Some larger cities may have a Nespresso kiosk/store in a mall. The closest one to me is about 2 hours away.

It makes a great coffee. It looks like I’ll just order directly and start with the welcome deal.

Sign up for emails from Nespresso and you'll get a couple per week with offer codes in them, usually for 1-2 free sleeves with the purchase of a certain amount of sleeves. You also get a couple free samples with every order from Nespresso. I have an original and vertuo machine. The original are much cheaper but only makes espresso whereas the vertuo makes a full cup of coffee as well as espresso. To make my orders cheaper I get a combo of original and vertuo pods to meet the minimum sleeve level to get some free sleeves.

Vertuoline pods can only be purchased directly through Nespresso or some are on Amazon. They still hold the patent on the pod technology for those so you won't be seeing any other brands of Vertuo pods for a few years, and local stores don't carry Vertuo pods. I like ordering from Nespresso directly because you get a free sample (2 pods) with every purchase and only need to spend $30 to get free shipping.
