Sage's Creatista Plus: A Love Affair with Our Purchases

The author was looking for an affordable bean-to-cup coffee machine and decided against Nespresso due to Nestle's controversial business practices and the wastefulness of aluminum pods. After discovering third-party companies that make compostable and recyclable pods compatible with Nespresso machines, the author purchased a refurbished Sage Creatista Plus with a steam wand for £179.99 on eBay. The machine allows for customizable settings and easy cleaning, and the end result is far better coffee than instant coffee.
