Coffee-lovers can now enjoy their fave hot beverages at home with the Starbucks Verismo machine. Prior to the revolutionary coffee maker, Starbucks fanatics were bound to getting their favorite caffeine fix from one of the retail locations. The Verismo uses coffee-filled pods similar to other at-home machines. The exclusive difference? Starbucks Verismo pods are filled with the company's finest grounds that are advertised as being on par with in-store, barista-made beverages.
The Verismo price points are set at $199, which makes it a reasonable alternative to other major machines on the market. Pods run at around $1.60 each so you can enjoy your faves at a fraction of the cost. One of the best features? Novice baristas don't have to fret about not knowing the ins on coffee creation; everything is automatic for perfection every time.
