Most of us are guilty for spending too much money on coffee when we're out and about.
The cost quickly adds up if we buy a coffee a couple of times a week.
According to a survey by DID Electrical, the annual spend on coffee in Ireland is significant: 27% of respondents buy at least 3 takeaway coffees per week, spending an approximate €468 per year on the black stuff.

On the higher end of the scale, 4% buy 9 or more coffees per week, spending an estimated €1,404 on takeaway coffees per year.
The easiest way to cut down on this spend is to buy a high quality coffee machine to make a good coffee to drink at home or to bring with you when you leave the house. One of the biggest brands for convenient at home coffee machines is Nespresso.
The Nespresso Virtuo is the best option for people who enjoy a bigger mug of coffee. These brewers offer five cup sizes: an espresso, a 2.7-oz double espresso, a 5-oz gran lungo, an 8-oz mug of coffee, or a 14-oz alto XL, whereas the original Nespresso model only offers three sizes going up to 3.7oz.
With Amazon's early Black Friday offers, you can nab the Nespresso Virtuo Next as well as a Nespresso milk frother for 49% off - bringing it to €116 down from €228. Check out the deal here.
This duo ensures you can make your own cappuccinos, lattes and more for a fraction of the cost in the long run.
It has hundreds of five star reviews, with one person writing: "Everything about this product has been designed with you in mind, it's incredibly simple to use and very difficult to break, plus the size of the machine is rather small so it fits in your kitchen very easily. Great product hasn't had a fault yet and it's easy to clean."
Another wrote: "Absolutely love my coffee machine, love all the different vertuo pods, easy to use."
