While Keurig machines tend to brew a weak, bitter version of drip coffee, most of the Nespresso capsules were strong and bitter, and tasted very darkly roasted. Neither machine can brew a great-tasting coffee when compared to drip coffee makers, pourover, or espresso machines.

Like Tassimo, Nespresso and Keurig machines focus on single-servings (one cup) of coffee. Where they differ is in that the Keurig can also make tea, hot chocolate, and other hot drinks, while the Nespresso only brews coffee, espresso, and cappuccino (in models with milk systems). Keurigs cannot brew espresso.

The Keurig's main appeal is how freaking simple it is. You just fill up the water tank, pop in a pod, press start, and you'll have coffee in less than a minute. This means you won't have to grind coffee beans, figure out how much coffee and water you actually need, or wait for a whole pot to brew. It's that easy.
