WINE & DINE

BY JACQUI YOUNG

Start your Christmas morning with the perfect brew!

I love my coffee, and I’m normally at least three cups down by mid-morning. So being able to brew a decent cup conveniently and quickly is exactly what I’m looking for. For years, I’ve been a fan of Nespresso’s handy capsules with different strengths and flavours of coffee, and machines that are easy to use. Their new baby is no exception: Nespresso’s Vertuo Next is a smart one, brewing single and double espressos, gran lungos, signature long blacks or mug-sized coffee. With 33 blends to choose from, there’s something for every taste. (Caramel Cookie and Vanilla Custard Pie may be next on my list!) Smart features Each Vertuo capsule has its own barcode, and whether you’re using a 40ml, 80ml, 150ml or 230ml capsule – depending on how much coffee you want – this clever machine reads the code at the start of brewing and pours your coffee like magic with one touch of a button. What’s more, the no-waste precision brewing system optimises your coffee, energy and water usage, making it a sustainable way to enjoy coffee with every cup brewed – complete with a nice thick crema on top giving that luxurious edge. The machine is packaged with an Aeroccino3 black milk frother, which is a simple and fast automatic system for preparation of a light and creamy hot or cold milk froth.

All Vertuo Next machines are slim-fit, have variations on the types of coffee they can make and come in some cute colours. Also, each one is made from 54 percent recycled materials and comes in 95 percent recyclable packaging. Accessorise! You can add more than just a sparkly new coffee machine to your home, as the machine has an array of beautiful accessories to complement it. Choose from different styles and sizes of cups, to capsule dispensers that show off those pretty colourful capsules on your kitchen counter, as well as some trendy travel mugs for coffee on the go. Ordering coffee for your Nespresso is easy too; you can use either the website or the handy app – and you can order with free delivery when you spend over $70. You can also feel good about your morning cuppa knowing that 120,000 farmers, 400 agronomists and more than 40 partners are working together in over 15 countries to offer superior coffee that’s sustainably produced. All the capsules are fully recyclable via Nespresso’s “One Pod At A Time” programme – recycling bags can be added free to your basket when ordering. This machine is simply the best: a fuss-free solution for a coffee addict like me!
