do you ever do espresso sized beverages with vertuo or just mainly for larger volumes?Indeed I am. Vertuo and Original Line machines. Both are awesome and make a high quality cup of coffee. If grinding beans and dicking around with a French press or Moka pot weren't such a pain in the ass I would use them more often, but they are so I don't. Nespresso ftw.

The Yukon has been $200 off for Black Friday and now Cyber Monday. Even with 200 off, it's crazy expensive. Especially considering we could build our own fire pit with much less. Smokeless is a huge incentive for us though, considering we're in the city and have close neighbors on both sides of our house.

i suppose i didnt articulate this well - if you are still using your original in conjunction with vertuo, do you use the vertuo espresso capsules or mainly just use vertuo for larger pours?Yes.

I primarily use the Vertuo for larger pours. I like to pretend to be a coffee snob and enjoy trying the different origin pods they release, of which sizes range from espresso size to an 8 ounce cup with some 4 to 6 ounce varieties mixed in. 90% of what I make in the Vertuo is 5+ ounces.i suppose i didnt articulate this well - if you are still using your original in conjunction with vertuo, do you use the vertuo espresso capsules or mainly just use vertuo for larger pours?Yes.

Target's 10% off gift card sale is this weekend (12/5 and 12/6). Discount applies to up to $300 in gift cards online, but I've been able to get more than that in store. The catch is that the gift card you buy has to be redeemed in full in a single transaction, which they started doing last year. Stupid as hell.
At any rate, buying smaller amounts is the safe bet, and using your Discover card fore the purchase will earn you 5% CashBack bonus if you have one.

Amazon has been the 5% category since October, FWIW. Target and Walmart were recently added for December only.

My Discover card statement last week was just a run of AMAZON.COM, haha. And yet, I still haven't maxed out the bonus. I will this month, though.

Discover was also nice enough to give me a 3k credit increase since I hadn't asked for a one in a while and they hadn't done an auto one like usual for whatever reason.
