Whether you are a coffee lover or you are just starting out with your first cup, it’s important to know the best brands available for the best overall experience. You will need to choose a brand that is not only convenient and easy to use but will also make the best coffee. Although there are different brands available, two of the top coffee maker brands are Nespresso and Keurig. Keurigs were originally designed to be coffee makers for commercial settings where lots of people would come, make a quick cup, and be on with their day. Even today, there are certain Keurigs available with water lines that can connect directly to the plumbing so you don't need to worry about refilling the water reservoir.

To be able to decide between these two, you need to know both the pros and cons of each. Keurig is a well-known coffee brand that most Americans enjoy. Nespresso, on the other hand, is famous in Europe and North America. Find out more about the differences between Nespresso vs Keurig to determine which would be the best option for you. But, to start with, let's take a look at 4 pros and cons of buying a Nespresso versus a Keurig.

Varying costs

Both Keurig and Nespresso make great coffee but the cost of one cup of Keurig slightly differs from that of Nespresso with Keurig cups being a bit cheaper. This makes Keurig a better option if you want a cup of quality coffee that is cost-friendly. The cost of the machine is another difference between Keurig and Nespresso with the cost of the Keurig coffee machine being cost-friendly compared to that of the Nespresso. 

Taste By Nespresso Versus A Keurig

Many coffee lovers consider the taste of coffee to be very important. Keurig makes tasty, superhot coffee for normal coffee lovers and its’ machines allow you to use various cup sizes. The taste and quality of Nespresso is more refined making the coffee strong, bold and tasty. If you prefer rich, strong coffee Nespresso is for you while Keurig is for those who want coffee that is mild and sweet. Keurig is cheaper with multiple flavor options and brews to choose from. 

Capsule Variety

Keurig has a variety of capsules that can be used to brew regular coffee, chocolate, coffee, tea and also flavored coffees. Keurig also makes recyclable pods that perfectly fit into the Keurig coffee machines leading to less waste but the Keurig capsule does not make coffee that is as strong as that of Nespresso. If you are an espresso fan, Keurig is not the best option since it can’t brew espresso. 

Nespresso has recyclable pods. You can also ship used Nespresso pods via mail using free mailing envelopes with every purchase of coffee that is done either online or in-store. The ability to reuse the coffee pods makes both Nespresso and Keurig convenient. 

When it comes to brewing options, Nespresso is specifically made for single-serve brewing options. The minimal capsule variants available for Nespresso enhance the quality of coffee brewed. But, you can still find machine models that offer large size cups. 

Ease of cleaning

Both Keurig and Nespresso coffee machines can be cleaned using a damp cloth. Because Nespresso machines have less movable parts, this makes them much easier to clean compared to Keurig coffee machines. For thorough cleaning of the Keurig machine, you can buy the Keurig Hot Descaling Solution and follow the instructions. Nespresso can be cleaned just by the tap of a button which is great. Both machines, however, need to be flushed every 3-6 months. 

The decision on whether to go for a Nespresso versus a Keurig solely depends on which of the two you love as well as your budget. You just have to decide which one you prefer.
