Affordable Coffee Makers: Nespresso vs. Generic Brands – Sulit Ba Talaga?

[Johnny Hammer]

Hi guys!

 

Coffee lovers out there, share your thoughts! 🙌 Ako kasi, nag-start na mag-invest in a coffee maker para makatipid sa Starbucks runs. Pero syempre, hindi lahat afford ang high-end brands like Nespresso, kaya curious ako: worth it ba sila compared to generic or budget-friendly coffee makers?

 

Here’s what I tried:

• Nespresso Essenza Mini: Ang ganda ng build and compact size. Ang smooth din ng process—press a button, and boom, may coffee ka na! Pero medyo mahal talaga ang capsules, lalo na kung araw-araw ka nagkakape.

• Generic Capsule Machine from Lazada: Sobrang mas mura! Compatible naman with third-party capsules, pero napansin ko na medyo nag-iiba yung lasa minsan, lalo na with the crema.

 

Quick Comparison:

• Price: Nespresso (PHP 8,000–PHP 10,000) vs. Generic (PHP 2,000–PHP 4,000)

• Capsule Availability: Parehong may compatible capsules, pero Nespresso capsules are premium and consistent.

• Durability: Parang mas solid build si Nespresso, pero the generic one gets the job done kung super budget-conscious ka.

 

Question ko sa inyo:

May naka-try na ba dito ng mas budget-friendly options or reusable coffee pods? Sulit ba ang mas mura, or mas maganda na mag-invest sa premium brands like Nespresso?
