Do you know how much you actually spend on coffee?
Depending on where you get your coffee from, a long black or basic latte in the Klang Valley usually costs a minimum RM10. That's not even counting speciality drinks.
To put things into perspective, if you drink coffee every day, you'd be spending a whopping RM300 a month on coffee (30 days x RM10), or RM3,650 a year (365 days x RM10)!

In case you didn't know, Nespresso offers a convenient coffee experience with its easy-to-use coffee capsules and coffee machines.
Nespresso does not skimp on quality either, sourcing premium coffee beans from various regions worldwide. These beans then undergo meticulous processing and roasting for optimal flavour extraction. This results in a consistent cup of coffee every single time with a rich flavour, aromatic profile, and smooth texture.
Furthermore, Nespresso has a team of experts who rigorously test and blend different coffee varieties to create unique and balanced flavour profiles. Whether you enjoy a light, fruity brew, or a dark, intense roast, Nespresso has a nice variety of coffee capsules to choose from — there are even limited edition seasonal capsules too.
If you're thinking, "A coffee machine and coffee subscription sounds expensive," we've got good news!
Nespresso's machine subscription plan starts from RM80 per month, with an upfront charge of just RM50 for your machine
You'll be paying as low as RM80 a month for 12 months, but here's the cool thing — the full RM80 you pay is converted into Nespresso credits that you can use to buy coffee capsules or accessories.
Essentially, you are paying RM50 to own a brand-new Nespresso coffee machine (it costs RM699 to RM1,899 on its own), which also comes with a two-year warranty.
P.S. Your Nespresso machine even comes with a sampling kit, so you'll actually get to try a variety of popular Nespresso coffee capsules for free!
What's more, after 12 months of subscription, the Nespresso machine is still fully yours, and you'll be transitioned to the Coffee Subscription Plan, where Nespresso will top up 10% of credit for you every month — that equals to extra 3 cups of coffee per month!

For a limited time, you can also get the Vertuo Next (RSP: RM1,199) via Nespresso's machine subscription plan for RM150 per month and the same upfront charge of RM50.
The machine allows you to choose from six different cup sizes in just one touch, letting you enjoy your favourite espressos (40ml), double espressos (80ml), gran lungos (150ml), mugs (230ml), altos (355ml), and carafes (535ml).

So, how much do you actually save by drinking Nespresso compared to buying coffee from your usual spots?
On average, one Nespresso coffee capsule comes up to less than RM3, which means you're potentially saving RM7 a day if you're comparing to the amount that you are paying for your usual coffee (RM10).
With the RM80 Nespresso machine subscription, you should have enough credits to buy three sleeves of coffee capsules (3 x 10 capsules) each month, which should last you throughout the month.
After a one-year subscription, you'll probably end up paying a total of RM1,010 (RM50 + RM80 x 12 months). Now, if you compare that with café coffee, drinking Nespresso could save you over RM2,600 a year!
