'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

This Nespresso machine is the perfect Mother's Day gift for coffee lovers, and it's $60 off
There was a time I refused to drink coffee at home because no matter how strong of a coffee pod I bought for my Keurig, the coffee always tasted watered down. I started wondering whether I'd ever achieve the same hand-crafted, coffee shop taste at home -- until I was gifted the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi.

With this Nespresso machine, I can make a regular cup of coffee or an espresso shot, which can then be used to make a latte, cappuccino, and more -- all at the touch of a button while keeping the flavor of the real thing a barista would make.
This is one of the best gifts I have ever gotten, and as a result, I am pretty confident anyone receiving it would feel the same way. The best part is that the machine is 30% off today on Amazon, making it only $139 compared to its usual $199 price tag, right in time for Mother's Day.
The machine is the gift that keeps on giving because, in addition to gifting your mom a brand-new coffee machine, you'll be saving her tons of money. Instead of spending up to $7 a drink every morning at a coffee shop, she'll be able to have her drink of choice on command whenever she wants -- for the cost of a pod, which starts at around $1.

This specific model is also convenient because it has a water tank that swivels, making it easier to find a place for the gadget in your kitchen. The water tank holds 60 ounces of water, enabling you to make around 12 cups of coffee at 5 ounces each or 7 cups at 7.7 ounces each before having to refill the tank.
Whether you want to upgrade your coffee game for yourself or gift your mom a better coffee experience at this price, the Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi is a great buy.
