Bargain Nespresso bundle cut to almost half price in Amazon flash sale
Coffee lovers, rejoice.
People can get quite tribal about their coffee machines, with many becoming very attached to their gadget of choice. But for those who need a new one - or who are just diehard Nespresso fans - this coffee bundle might be a no-brainer.
The Nespresso Coffee Machine Barista Bundle includes Vertuo Pop black by Magimix coffee machine, a milk frother, two Nespresso mugs and spoons, plus Melozio coffee pods and Chiaro coffee pods. The 4.1 starred bundle on Amazon is £109, down from £199 - that's a discount of 45%.
From cappuccino lovers to those dependent on several espressos to get them through the day, this gadget (which doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen counter, handily) can do all the tricks. It comes with a milk frother for a lovely foamy finish and has a WiFi hook-up so users don't miss out on the latest updates.
Elsewhere, Tassimo has the Style Friendly - Cream & 'Coffee Shop Favourites' Bundle for £44.99 - however, it only features the Style machine and five packs of coffee pods (that's almost 50 mugs worth). For those able to really splash out, there's the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Espresso Machine for £549.99. Not a bundle, this is a serious bit of barista-level kit that has tonnes and tonnes of settings, with a built-in bean grinder, a frother and comes with a cleaning kit as well, to keep it ship shape.
One shopper said of the Nespresso coffee machine: 'A great little coffee machine. All the cleaning is done for you. Product is well made and simple to use, looks good on the kitchen top.'
Another added: 'Switched from a Dolce Gusto machine and it was so worth it. It's a massive upgrade. The quality of coffee is excellent. Super easy to use. Put the pod in, and it will detect how much water is needed based on the barcode on the pod. It's a good compact size.'
However, one customer flagged an issue with the coffee machine: 'Cheap and cheerful. Bought this to replace a more expensive one. I only use it for my morning coffee so I don't see the point in spending a fortune. It is very noisy and you can't fit a mug under it.'
Another added: 'The mugs are great quality and really comfy in your hand, I think they're a bit on the large size, so I seem to be making massive mugs worth, but I'm not complaining. All in all, easy to use, doesn't take up too much kitchen space, massive variety of coffee pods to try. What's not to like?'

The global environmental award hit by accusations of greenwashing
Earlier this year natural soap company Dr Bronner's decided that enough was announced that it was quitting B Corp, the global certification scheme that honours companies for having high standards when it comes to their social and environmental Bronner's, a California-based, family-run business with 323 employees, had been a member for 10 it said that the accreditation wasn't strict enough, and it accused the international organisation that runs it, B Corp, of being too quick to allow some of the world's largest companies to join. It accused the scheme of "enabling greenwashing and purpose washing by multinationals". Dr Bronner's singled out its continuing opposition to coffee capsule brand Nespresso getting B-Corp certification in 2022. Nespresso is owned by Swiss food giant Nestlé.In 2020 Nespresso was hit by accusations that some of its coffee suppliers in Guatemala were employing young children. It responded to the scandal at the time by saying that it "had a zero tolerance of child labour" and would act "immediately".Announcing that it was leaving B Corp, Dr Bronner's said in a statement that it was "unacceptable to us" to be lumped in "with large multinational CPG [consumer packaged goods] with a history of serious ecological and labour issues".It added: "The integrity of the B Corp certification has become compromised and remaining certified now contradicts our mission."In response, a Nespresso spokesman tells the BBC that its B Corp certification is "an acknowledgement of our long-standing commitment to sustainability, particularly our efforts to support coffee farmers… and a result of rigorous B Impact Assessment covering all environmental and social aspects of our business and supply chain". The B Corp scheme was founded in 2006, and now has more than 9,600 members across 102 countries and 161 industries. The "B" stands for the word "beneficial", and gaining accreditation can help companies attract more environmentally and socially conscious customers.B Lab declined to answer how many member firms are multinationals, but it said that more than 96% are small and medium-sized while it has defended Nespresso's membership, next year it is introducing new "more rigorous" certification applicant firms can obtain B Corp certification if they achieve at least 80 points out of a total 200 across a number of environmental and social criteria. So they can be weak in one area, but make up for this in points system will end from 2026, and be replaced with minimum requirements across seven key areas that it labels – purpose and shareholder governance; fair work; justice, equity, diversity and inclusion; human rights; climate action; environmental stewardship; and government affairs and collective addition, third-party verification of companies' performances is being introduced, and firms will also have to show that they are continuing to improve standards. "This is really a sign to make the standards more rigorous and raise the bar for businesses," says Chris Turner, chief executive of B Lab UK. "We are becoming more transparent and credible as a certification."Yet he denied that the new standards were aimed at multinational members. "The new standards are not designed to address a specific challenge about big business joining… We have increased expectation now of what being a force for good looks like. And within that we acknowledge that bigger businesses have a bigger potential for impact and need more rigorous checks."He adds: "We will be working really hard to create a pathway for B Corps to certify on new standards, but what that means will differ for each business. Some businesses will find it easy, while for some businesses there will be significant work to do to meet new standards." Whether the change will be enough to stop smaller firms like Dr Bronner's walk away from B Corp remains to be seen. UK pet food company Scrumbles was another that gave up its certification this year."I saw that growing membership was the focus rather than pushing forward sustainability efforts," says Aneisha Soobroyen, co-founder of the London-based of paying its annual recertification fee of £8,500, an amount determined by a company's revenues, Scrumbles donated the money to Save The Landrum, professor of sustainable business transformation at Munich Business School, says that B Corp "is a good starting point"."It is a great certification scheme for businesses that are just beginning their sustainability journey, and that want to decrease unsustainable activities, and increase sustainable activities."But B Corp, and all of the most frequently used schemes, simply don't go far enough." Having B Corp accreditation can help a company boost its sales. But leaving the scheme is unlikely to hit Dr Bronner's says chief executive David Bronner."We think our brand strength is enough."Whether the company might reapply for B Corp in the future, Mr Bronner says they "would re-join tomorrow" if there were tougher rules placed on the supply chains of multinational the meantime it has sent up its own rival scheme called Purpose Pledge. "It gets to the heart of what we think is a true missionary driven company," says Mr Bronner. "Paying living wages, and holder each other accountable, and having supply chain integrity."So far he says 14 other companies have signed up.

Shoppers ditch bean-to-cup coffee machines for at-home gadget with £181 off
The De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima has impressed coffee lovers with its flavourful coffee and straightforward set up - and it's got 48% off For those in the market for a brand new coffee machine, Nespresso has teamed up with Italian coffee powerhouse De'Longhi, bringing caffeine lovers a swanky new coffee machine that is currently on sale. The De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima is compatible with a range of different espresso pods from Nespresso. The machine, which has had rave reviews, can be tailored to make five black coffee sizes, including espresso, double espresso, gran lungo, mug/coffee and carafe via four different coffee pod sizes (which seem to come with the machine). Unlike a number of Nespresso machines, this particular gadget comes with a built-in De'Longhi milk frother, which is great for those who enjoy a cappuccino and latte instead of a black Americano. The milk frother attached to the machine can create three milk-based recipes, cappuccino and latte macchiato, as well as the option to create a personalised one with the Extra Hot Foam button. Plus, the frothing section of the device can be detached for refilling. Costing £199 instead of its usual price tag of £379.99, shoppers can save a whopping £180.99 for the black design and £183.59 for the white/silver variation. With a built-in milk frother that can add the milk automatically to the cup, it rivals the likes of the BREVILLE One-Touch CoffeeHouse II VCF147 Coffee Machine, which is also on sale for £169.99 from £349.99. While the Nespresso De'Longhi machine has pre-set buttons to generate the desired aerated milk, the Breville machine has a dial to control how much air is being delivered to the milk. Although for those who prefer a simple pod-only coffee machine without the bells and whistles of a milk frother (and the more expensive price tag), the Philips Sublime L'OR Pod Coffee Machine is currently on sale at Argos for £60 down from £105. Although coffee lovers are certainly lauding praise on the De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima machine, with many people saying how 'amazing' the coffee it makes is. One happy Nespresso fan said: "This machine is amazing. We've tried Nespresso coffee for the first time on holidays. We've had the coffee machine in our room. I've said then I would love to buy one once we back. And here we are, I've bought it and it's amazing. The machine is so sleek, coffee is amazing, full of flavour and tasty. "Not as easy to operate as my previous machine, but I will get used to it. The best thing is that once you've done the coffee, you can open the 'lid' and the used capsule is thrown automatically to the 'bin'. This is brilliant! "I can't wait to test all the different types of coffee available. But so far, so good. The temperature of the coffee was perfect, milk was lovely and frothy. Just perfect!" Another reflected: " My coffee machine arrived in beautiful packaging. Thanks to the video instructions provided by Nespresso, I was able to make my first start-up easily. The machine is designed to be simple to use, making it a pleasant process. I liked the fact that I could store the milk I hadn't used up in the fridge without dirtying another container. "I previously had mixed feelings about capsule coffee machines, but thanks to the welcome box with a selection of capsules in different flavours, I was quickly reassured that the purchase was a good choice. What captivated me about this coffee machine is that it cleans itself. Cleaning The milk frother has a dedicated programme to clean itself, and the whole milk container can be disassembled in several parts and is dishwasher safe." Although their one qualm? "The machine is actually noisier than I thought it would be, but relative to the many advantages it has, this becomes a minor thing." Someone else echoed this slight gripe and said: "Things to note: I did find the machine to be quite noisy but this did not bother me at all. It is also a bit of a bulky coffee machine compared to other compact machines Nespresso has made but it has the added bonus of the milk frother so no need to purchase it separately!" One shopper even ditched their bean-to-cup machine in favour of this and said: "Absolutely love this machine. It turns out perfect coffee every time. We deliberated for a long time about moving from our bean to cup machine but so pleased we did. The range of coffee blends and strengths is wide plus the flavoured pods deliver some pleasant alternatives to a straight coffee (my other half loves the almond croissant flavour)." The De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima is available at Amazon for £199 down from £379.99 for a limited time only.

Ninja Creami rival that makes 'delicious' desserts drops to £17
Keen cooks can whip up homemade ice cream and experiment wth different flavour combinations Much of the nation is basking in sunshine this week thanks to the sizzling heatwave. Fans of sweet treats might be enjoying tucking into ice cream, while keen cooks might even be having a go at making their own. One of the top ice cream makers on the market is a Ninja CREAMi, but with a price tag of £169 (currently on sale, usually £200), it's not an affordable option for the majority of consumers. Over at Amazon, there's a more affordable device in the form of a Lakeland mini ice cream maker on sale for £17.99, down from £19.99. Plus, there's a free delivery option for Amazon Prime members. The device is also available to buy directly from Lakeland for £14.99, however, there's an added £4 delivery cost. The Mini Digital Ice Cream Maker has a 0.5-litre capacity and can be used to whip up homemade ice creams, sorbets, and even frozen yoghurts. It's designed with a clear, easy-view lid, a non-slip base, and a small bowl that tucks neatly into the freezer. Prior to use, the bowl needs to be placed in the freezer for 8-12 hours. Some shoppers have said they leave the bowl permanently in the freezer so it is ready to use whenever. When the bowl is ready, take it out of the freezer, add the lid, switch the machine on and then pour in the ingredients. Within 25 minutes, homemade ice cream is ready to serve. Thanks to the sale price, now is a good time for shoppers who have their heart set on a Ninja CREAMi. The original device comes with three tabs and a recipe book - it can be used to make gelatos, sorbets, smoothie bowls, milkshakes, as well as ice cream. A mid-price alternative is Magimix's Glacier Ice Cream Maker, which is on sale at Argos for £55. It's designed with a large feed tube that allows users to add ingredients to their ice cream later in the mixing process. It makes 1.5 pints of ice cream. More than 200 units of the Lakeland mini ice cream maker have been bought on Amazon in the past month. In the reviews, one shopper said: "I couldn't afford one of the top-of-the-range models, so after a bit of research, I went for this one. It doesn't make a large portion, but it makes enough for me, and it's simple to use and delicious. It's easy to use and clean, and the recipes are a useful starter." However, another buyer had issues with the consistency of their ice cream creations, writing: "I've had this a couple of weeks and have tried a few different recipes, all of which do not turn the ingredients into ice cream in any length of time. It's just a sloshy mess." They continued: "I have to freeze it for an hour afterwards, which kind of defeats the object, I think. Anyhow, I've got it, so I'll have to use it, but it's not great." A fourth buyer concluded: "Keep this in the freezer permanently now. It's great for making ice cream for 1-2 people. I use it predominantly to make Mr. Whippy ice cream." "It takes less than 10 minutes when I pour 300ml in. It works well enough for me. Don't overfill it, or the ice cream won't thicken, or it will cover the upper lid/ stirrer."
