So even if you're forking over $235 for the first month, your coffee budget goes down to $15 per month after that. The most expensive Keurig is $220, and the pods would cost about $15 per month. A one-coffee-per-day user would spend around $4 on coffee at the shop, and that's at least $120 per month. Ultimately, using K-Cups is going to be the most effective way to cut spending. With Keurig, you’ll have the option of a reusable filter, which allows you to brew with you own ground coffee. Due to its larger pod sizes, the Nespresso VertuoLine now costs $0.90 to $1.35 per serving. The Keurig K-Cup pods are less expensive, averaging from as low as $0.35 to as high as $0.65 per serving. But it's not a discount line by any means-the higher-end models and bundle deals that come with a milk frother can cost up to $400.Īfter purchasing the machine, you have to factor in the cost of the coffee pods. This is undoubtedly part of Nestle’s strategy to acquire more of the market share from its pod coffee competitors. The Nespresso machines used to come with a much higher price tag, but the newer VertuoLine has became more affordable. Nespresso capsules cost more than K-Cups, but it's still cheaper than going to a coffee shop.
