Nespresso's top-rated espresso machine is almost half off right now — its lowest price ever
While there's never really a bad time to upgrade your coffee bar, if you needed an especially good reason, here's one: Nespresso's Vertuo Next espresso machine is at its lowest price ever. The compact, single-serve appliance fits perfectly on most countertops or coffee bar carts, which makes it the perfect gift to give yourself or another coffee lover in your life. In addition to the espresso machine, you'll also get a milk frother and an assortment of Nespresso capsules to get started. Below, I talk more about the appliance's features and why we made it our Deal of the Day. The versatile Nespresso Vertuo Next is ideal for making both coffee and espresso, but it's especially great for those who love espresso-based drinks with steamed or frothed milk, like lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites and cortados. Since the (included) Aeroccino milk frother is compatible with both hot and cold milk, according to the brand, you can use it to make hot and iced drinks and/or to make cold foam. The machine can hold up to 10 used capsules before needing to empty it and has a 1-liter water tank capacity. It also heats up in as little as 25 seconds, according to the brand, and it's compatible with Nespresso's espresso capsules, though the appliance comes with capsules so you can get started using it right away. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a commerce editor at NBC Select, where I write about deals and sales on small home and kitchen appliances. I found this deal by scanning Amazon and other retailers online.

Music legend Gloria Jones Keynote at Beckenham Conference
Legendary Motown singer-songwriter and composer Gloria Jones famed for her song ' Tainted(*) Love,' (s keynoting at the trailblazing 'Evolution of Finance,' conference aimed at transforming women's relationship with finance at Beckenham Spa on Thursday12th June 2025,( Hosted by the Queen of Connection Jackie Groundsell from the 1230 The Women's Company, a leading UK's business women's network; the conference is designed to tackle the often tainted relationship which women experience in business finance, investments and long-term wealth building and how all this impacts their relationships and vice versa. ( Lessons from a music legend: Since the age of 17, Gloria has always found a way to stay creative and has been writing songs since 1968. She has written for Gladys Knight and the Pipps, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson Five, Diana Ross and many more. She bought her first home at the age of 21, funded by her creativity. Gloria's advice for women in business: ' As long as you have an idea, as long as you can create, you can stay afloat. As well as your health and your right mind, and your ideas, and you are creating, and you are living, and when you are excited about life, because that is all in financing' She believes that only reason people give up is that they cannot deal with change, or they cannot deal with life experiences, women have learned to become stronger now, ' It's having the confidence the knowledge and the experience to take the risk, you can't do any of this if you don't trust yourself to take that risk. This is why I want to promote hope, and why I am launching a perfume, because I can! ' (**) Her new perfume called ' Revenge,' out on 7th June. ' Most of the time when you hear the word it sounds negative but I look at it, it's about never giving up and to keep on going! ' Gloria Jones. Finding deeper meaning with money and life. Despite all of her incredible creative success when she started to do all of her charity work, it gave her life a deeper meaning and it still does. She got involved in charity work which helped her to learn how to be human again, after seeing a child eating out of a trash can, and not understanding that that's how that child lives and survives. When she was in South Africa, and wanted to help the street children, who did not have any food she simply did not know what to do. So she asked her Lawyer who said go to the market and find out the days that they are just throwing away food. She went to the market and they said to her that the spare food was going to the farmer to feed his pigs. They said to ask the farmer if they would give her a day for her to give the surplus food to the children and they said yes on Wednesdays and that was the start of the Gloria Jones Foundation, in 1990. Then she travelled to Sierra Leone which she instantly loved, as she saw her family's features and there was such acceptance of her and ten years ago started the Marc Bolan School of Music and Film. Now this year when she went she has 5 college graduates who came to the school when they were ten years of age. The importance of women helping each other ' We have to encourage each other as women, it's very important, especially in America right now women are really coming together, in sisterhood and at one time it wasn't like that it was like I have to get my own, I hope that the Evolution of Finance Event will go around the world. Financially, women didn't know that we had this power, to acquire money and to build wealth. Other speakers at the Evolution of Finance Other speakers will be sharing their professional insights to help women evolve their relationships with finance. Financial Planner Jeanne Opondo will be talking about how women can think about their financial future and build wealth whilst their life is happening. For example: she will be sharing how to protect the value of their business such as navigating the risks of what to put into place if you become ill, somebody dies or want to leave your company. Sandra Harewood with be offering strategies to help women deal with how our relationships impact our finances. Sarah Marsh-Collings will be talking about the impact finances have on all relationships: family, partners, friends, even networking contacts. Mindsets that fundamentally need changing if women are to ever gain financial parity with our male counterparts. She'll be talking about her personal journey and sharing insights into what she's learned over her life and over 11 plus years in business. It's an open door policy at the Evolution of Finance event in Beckenham Spa. Everybody is welcome; it's a friendly family atmosphere. There will be no jargon, and no big words! It's a day where women will share their stories and insights about how to transform our often tainted relationship with money, including a living legend Gloria Jones. The event will be fun too we have a bonanza lucky dip with prizes from all the speakers and scratch cards, so everyone will win something, complimentary afternoon tea, and networking bingo! Founder and Event Organiser Jackie Groundsell says: 'We want every woman to leave this event not just inspired, but equipped – with clarity, confidence, and practical knowledge that helps her grow her business, keep more profit, and plan for a financially secure future."
