If you drink espresso exclusively, the original line Nespresso machines are for you! They only make espresso for these machines, and these machines have pods from brands outside of nespresso and Starbucks for more variety.

This is the only frother you will ever need. I finally bought one, and I am never going back. It has 4 settings. You can heat up your milk with no foam, light foam, heavy foam, and cold foam! It is perfect every time.

Don't forget insulated cups! I am notorious for not drinking my coffee fast enough so it either gets cold or all of the ice melts before I am finished. I love keeping a few insulated cups right on my coffee bar ready for the next pour.

If you aren't into the Nespresso set-up and prefer a traditional machine, Amazon is selling so many options. The best news? Something is always on sale. Breville and De'longhi are two brands well known for their machines.

Nespresso often has sales, but you have to purchase a large amount to get free coffee or merchandise. Amazon has pods for sale at a good price all the time! Some of my favorites are altisso, orafio, double espresso dolce, and Bianca piccolo.

The Nespresso vertuo pods are large and oddly shaped, so it helps to buy a storage drawer, container, or tower to display them for easy access.

Don't overlook machine maintenance! It is important to descale your machine according to the instructions that come with it. Amazon sells a variety of kits you can use! I have mine on auto-ship. When it comes in the mail, I know its time to descale.

If you have a Nespresso machine, make sure you get the descaling kit made by Nespresso. Anything else might damage your machine and invalidates your warranty. I get mine from Amazon on auto-ship so I remember to descale when it arrives!

Don't forget to get some spoons to stir in all of your goodies (syrups, brown sugar, sauces)! I recommend long skinny spoons so they work with small cups or large tumblers!
