Vertuo Pop Hits $85 at Walmart; Pop+ Is $99 at Amazon

Walmart has the Nespresso Vertuo Pop down to $84.97 from $119, NBC Select reported on Nov. 9, and Mashable says the Vertuo Pop+ is $99 at Amazon the same morning.

NBC calls the Walmart price a limited-time deal but doesn’t say when it ends. It also lists $99 at Amazon and $99.99 at Target. The Pop is Nespresso’s compact Vertuo: per NBC, it reads the barcode on each capsule to set the brew, makes 5, 8 and 12 oz coffees plus single and double espressos, heats up in about 30 seconds and has a removable 19 oz tank.

Mashable’s Pop+ deal is $99, which it calls 23% off. One thing to ignore: its headline says $50 off, but its own text puts the saving at about $30 off a $129 list price. The Pop+ was $99 before October’s Prime Day sale too.

We haven’t checked either price on the retailers’ sites ourselves, so treat them as reported on Nov. 9.

Our take: $85 is a good price for a first Vertuo, and the Pop+ at $99 is its usual sale price rather than a Black Friday low, so there’s no rush on that one. Either way you’re buying into Vertuo capsules, which mostly come from Nespresso. Our Vertuo buying guide compares the models, and you can check the Pop+ price on Amazon.
