FranknBeans Posted September 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Did NCL take them out of all the suites and replace with the n espresso bubble gum machines? We were on the the Star to Alaska and had 2 penthouse 's and neither had the machines. Big disappointment as we are espresso and latte coffee snobs.

RocketMan275 Posted September 12, 2020 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I wish they would get rid of the espresso machines. I'm quite content with a Keurig as they produce coffee that is more drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyvillage Posted September 12, 2020 #3 Share Posted September 12, 2020 All the suites we have been in lately had Nespresso. I enjoyed making those lattes as well! Love the Star! She was our Honeymoon ship, so we got emotionally attached! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replaced all of the [expensive] Lavazza machines with $50 Nespresso machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill6x6 Posted September 12, 2020 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We stayed in an H7 aboard Getaway November 2019. We had a Nespresso "Original" unit in our cabin. Certainly not a $50 machine. I enjoyed it so much I got a Nespresso "Vertuo" machine for Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear that Bird has an endorsement deal with Nespresso and is able to purchase his machine at a reduced cost. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMH15 Posted September 13, 2020 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) I have a Nespresso at home. The Creatista which is a Breville collaboration. It has a built in frother. It is a wonderful machine with latte, espresso, Lungo settings, etc. hardly $50. More like 10 times that. when we travelled in the Owners Suite on Epic we Did our research and knew we had the wonderful Nespresso machine but no frother, so my sister brought her free standing frother with her. The wonderful Maxie, our butler, kept us stocked on half-and-half. Keurig... well yuck. Who wants to drink coffee that has been heated in plastic??? Not me. There is nothing upscale about Keurig. It is a mainstream run-of-the mill coffee maker. Just a tick above Mr. Coffee. It does not belong in a suite.

Would not pay retail for any item. Quick internet search says the exact model sells for less than 1/2 that price. And NCL is is paying 1/2 that in bulk with recurring purchase of pods.

I would not be surprised if NCL even gets the machine for free with a commitment to purchase some amount of coffee over the life of a multi-year contract. In Canada, they have had a number of "free machine" offers where you subscribe to capsules. Typically targeting small business. https://www.nespresso.com/pro/ca/en/vertuo-at-work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
