Review on ☕ Nespresso Citiz Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino by DeLonghi, Black - Improve SEO by Jathan Louis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great espresso and coffee, but not yet impressed with the cup recycling program

One of the reasons I haven't used the K-Cup/Nespresso is due to cup disposal issues. So I was impressed when I read about Nespresso's free cup recycling and environmental awareness program. I recently traveled to Beijing and the hotel had an espresso machine that made the best Italian coffee with fantastic crema. My regular coffee at home just didn't work. So this Christmas I decided to try Nespresso. While the machine likes. The milk frother works fantastic and the espresso and lungo from the machine are really good. Just like the Italian coffee I drank in Beijing. Your products make me happy. However. I'm beginning to suspect that the Nespresso recycling program is just a marketing gimmick and not a genuine commitment because it makes it so difficult to participate. To receive free recycling bags, you must order cups through Nespresso and you can only receive two bags at a time. I think they hold up to 200 cups so 2 packs will last a long time. IF you can get the bag. When I wanted to order bags, they were sold out. You can also get the bags in store so I used the store locator. We have a location in our area and it's almost an hour away. In theory, when I receive the recyclable bags, I still have to take them to the UPS store to have them shipped back to Nespresso. Dear Nespresso, the easier you make it for consumers to recycle your products, the more products we will buy and use. I, for example, don't brew that often as I feel remorse every time I hear a small aluminum cup tumble neatly into a special wastebasket, however handy it may be. I'll be looking at the reusable K-Cups that work with this machine and brewing my own to complement until I figure out recycling.
