The Nespresso coffee machine brews six coffee cup sizes - ristretto, espresso 40ml, double espresso 80ml, gran lungo cup 150ml, mug 230ml and large mug 355ml - there will be an option for everyone. It also includes a complimentary welcome set of 12 pods.
For eco-friendly shoppers, they will be happy to know that the espresso machine is made from 35% recycled plastic, Nespresso Vertuo pods are made with 85% recycled aluminium and when they are recycled, it may help further decrease the carbon footprint of a cup of coffee.
If this isn't what every coffee lover wants however, there are alternatives such as the My Way 2 Cream - Coffee Machine for £99.99 from Tassimo.
The machine is said to be a perfect coffee pod machine, designed by Bosch. It also comes with a BRITA filter to ensure the best coffee shop quality coffee is provided every time.
Customers shared some reviews of their purchase as one said: 'Delighted with my new Tassimo, so simple to set up and use and fantastic coffee too.'
Another said: 'This is the third coffee machine we've bought from Tassimo and this one didn't surprise us. We are guaranteed a lovely cup of coffee every time.'
For a slightly cheaper option the Geepas 1.5L Filter Coffee Machine and Coffee Grinder is £34.84 from Debenhams and said to be ideal for brewing up to 12 cups of coffee at once, plus it has an easy-grip handle and drip-free pouring.

However, not everyone agreed and some people shared other opinions. One wrote: 'Can't make a mug of coffee with a drip tray attached. Used pod containers too small. Seems to be noisier than larger models.'
Another said: 'The coffee machine did not work properly after six months.'

'Super accurate' Fitbit with battery that 'easily lasts a week' now under £100
"Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts." For many of us, a smartwatch has become a daily necessity. The wearable tech can help monitor our steps, analyse our workouts, and track our sleep. There are a number of big name brands that people often look to, including Apple Watches and Samsung Galaxy Watches. However, the price tag that comes with these smartwatches can put some people off. Another popular choice is the Google Fitbit, which is often praised for its incredible battery life compared to its rivals. And currently, the Google Fitbit Charge 6 can be snapped up for under £100 on Amazon. The brilliant deal, which has seen a 29 per cent reduction from £139.99 to just £98.99, also comes with six months of Premium membership included. It boasts a seven-day battery and is water-resistant up to 50m. It comes in three different colours; coral, obsidian, and porcelain. It can track heart rate, has a built-in GPS, and more than 40 exercise modes. It also has automatic sleep tracking and gives users a daily sleep score, and can keep you connected to Google Maps, Google Wallet, and your calling, texing, and app notifications. Google Fitbit Charge 6 £139.99 £98.99 Amazon Buy Now on Amazon Product Description For those looking elsewhere, the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) is currently £599. Or for those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Runlio Fitness Tracker is down 35 per cent to £19.54. Coming back to the Google Fitbit Charge 6, it boasts a 4.2 rating from more than 2,000 reviews. Shoppers hailed its week-long battery life and accuracy. One delighted user said: "Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts. "Battery easily lasts a week, which is a big plus. The sleep and activity insights have actually helped me make small changes that stick. Premium membership is a nice bonus too. Overall, a solid upgrade and totally worth it."

Someone else complained about the GPS tracking, saying it was "very inaccurate and disconnected frequently" They added: "Would not recommend if your aim is to monitor distance on runs/bike rides etc." But a five-star reviewer hailed the Google Fitbit Charge 6 for playing a big part in their weight loss journey. They said: "From little movement to 10km every morning. The best buy I have made. "Reduced weight by 2.5 stones and feel fitter than I have for years. The watch didn't actually achieve this but 100% contributed toward it." Another satisfied customer wrote: "I really like Fitbits and this is my second watch as my old Charge 5 died in the pool. I am blown away! A really solid battery life as usual from Fitbit and lots of tracking features too! "Love the new workouts and Google Maps, and the obsidian black colour looks great. It also is really simple to use and turns on when you look at it automatically. "The price is quite reasonable because of the performance you are getting and the accurate heart rate.

With the right combination of sound quality, comfort, and smart features, some models stand out, especially when there's a significant discount involved. Sony's high-performance over-ear headphones have received a major discount, with many reviewers describing them as 'amazing' and even calling them the 'best ever'. The Sony ULT WEAR Over Ear Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are now available on Amazon for £99, down from their original retail price of £179, a saving of 45%. Finished in black, the headphones offer a premium listening experience packed with features including deep bass, advanced noise cancellation, and up to 30 hours of battery life. The headphones are powered by Sony's Integrated Processor V1 and 40mm driver units, designed to deliver what the company calls 'ULT POWER SOUND'. Users can adjust the bass through a dedicated button, which activates two sound modes: Deep Bass for extra low-end punch and Attack Bass for added energy. The result is a powerful, customisable sound profile particularly suited to bass lovers. Noise cancelling is handled by Sony's adaptive technology, with an ambient sound mode available for those who prefer to stay aware of their surroundings. For calls, the headphones use beam-forming microphones and precise voice pickup technology to ensure clear audio, even in noisy environments. Other features include multi-point Bluetooth pairing, support for Google Assistant and Alexa, and quick charging, with 1.5 hours of playback from just a three-minute top-up. The headphones are compatible with iOS and Android and come with a compact carry case. For those who want alternatives, Sennheiser's ACCENTUM Plus Wireless Headphones are currently £139, down from £199.99, while Soundcore's Space One model is £62.99 and offers adaptive noise cancelling and 40-hour battery life.

One reviewer wrote: 'Amazing headset… the bass is huge… They look and feel good and sound amazing, the best overhead earphones I've probably ever had.'

One reviewer reported a crack forming on the side of the headphones after six months of regular use, suggesting they may not be the best choice for gym wear. Another wrote: 'Too much bass and not enough soundstage. Good noise cancelling and comfort, but not great for hearing background instruments.' The Sony ULT WEAR is currently available for £99 on Amazon, reduced from £179.

Fitbit smartwatch hailed 'best buy' by delighted tech fan drops to under £100
Amazon has slashed 29% off the Google Fitbit Charge 6 Activity Tracker with a free 6 month premium membership Smartwatches have become a must-have gadget for many, allowing the wearer to track fitness goals, sleeping patterns, and some even take calls and send texts. There are several options for shoppers to peruse, but the likes of Google Fitbit and Apple arguably dominate the market as a reliable and stylish choice. Amazon has just made it more affordable to get hold of the Google Fitbit Charge 6 by offering a deal that makes it almost 30% cheaper. On sale for £98.99 down from £139.99 in all three colours (orange, black and white), the smartwatch comes with complimentary 6 months premium membership. The Fitbit Charge 6 is compatible with iOS 15 or higher and Android OS 9.0 or higher, and has a battery life of seven days, as well as being water-resistant up to 50m. It boasts more than 40 exercise modes, sleep tracking, 24/7 heart rate monitor and a daily readiness score. Those looking for other features besides fitness can explore elements such as Google Wallet, Google Maps and when connected to a phone, the Fitbit shows notifications and allows calls and texts. Customers praise the battery life of the Google Fitbit Charge 6, with one person saying it is 'far better than the Apple watch', due to this. Someone else said: "The reason I bought this was the battery life. Having a device which you need to charge every day or every other day is just not practical for me and the battery on this lasts almost a week." Google Fitbit Charge 6 Activity Tracker £139.99 £98.99 Amazon Shop deal Product Description If the Fitbit isn't quite within budget, Amazon also offers the Fitpolo Smart Watch for £38.99. Shoppers say it is a 'good value smart watch' that is 'packed with features'. Garmin is another top-rated brand in the world of smartwatches and has currently slashed the price of the Venu 2S Smartwatch by £60. Meanwhile, Samsung's range of smart watches are also popular. The chic piece of tech would typically set shoppers back £349.99 but is now on sale for £199. Not only does it look good on the wrist, it has up to 10 days battery life, more than 25 preloaded sports apps, animated workout coaches, music storage and touch-free payments. Regarding the Fitbit Charge 6, there have been some glowing reviews left for the device. Someone said: "Really happy with the Fitbit Charge 6 so far. It's lightweight, looks good, and the tracking is super accurate — especially heart rate during workouts. Battery easily lasts a week, which is a big plus. The sleep and activity insights have actually helped me make small changes that stick. Premium membership is a nice bonus too. Overall, a solid upgrade and totally worth it." Another person pointed out that the subscription isn't a must, meaning after 6 months shoppers don't necessarily need to upgrade to make use of the watch. They wrote: "Highly recommend - slim design, high quality and fits great. Packed with useful features with no need for a premium subscription." While there are a number of features that score points with shoppers, the Fitbit Charge 6 does lack in one area. A less happy customer wrote: "Have received my tracker and all working well. A little disappointed that Fitbit chose not to include the ability to count stairs as my previous charge 4 used to do, however the additions of oxygen levels, skin temperature and ECG do make up for this." But, it helped someone else achieve their fitness goal, with the consumer leaving a five star review that reads: "From little movement to 10km every morning. The best buy I have made. Reduced weight by 2.5 stones and feel fitter than I have for years. The watch didn't actually achieve this but 100% contributed toward it."
