Nespresso Vertuo machine / pods.

[mmm-five]

The Vertuo price depends on the size of the shot too. So the single origin, limited edition blends will cost £1/pod, but the standard single espresso blend will be closer to £0.50/pod.



I like them mainly because I have a choice of different strengths (brew & caffeine) and flavours depending on my mood, without having to keep lots of part-used coffee bags in the freezer.

This is my last one from December (just the espressos as I was low on those)...but I normally order about every 3 months...and do get some discounts on machines/accessories due to being an 'ambassador' (aka punter).

That takes me back! That was the only coffee my Dad ever drank.

I’ve done the full cycle of coffee machines, grinders, bean to cup, etc., found that making a good cup of coffee was often a laborious messy business.

I now have a regular £100 Nespresso machine which takes the small, regular pods. I have settled on Starbucks House Lungo, which makes a superb double espresso. Even at full price works out at 40p a cup, but I recently found boxes of 36 for £10, or 28p per cup.

No mess, quick, great coffee.

I was thinking of Camp coffee when I saw this thread. We had the same 'bottle' of Camp in the cupboard for years when I was a kid. My mum used it for trifles and posh desserts IIRC. Don't think anybody actually drank it!

A few month's ago i purchased a Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine.

I came with a variaty pack of coffee pod's. I then started looking for different coffee's to try.
Was then i discovered that Nespresso have a monopoly / patent and there are no 3rd party suppliers :x

They are expensive at Ca. 0.92p ish a POD

More research and discovered these. Recycling at the same time, a win, win !

Tried the first reusable pod today as per your recommendation. Apart from removing the foil covers on the used Nespresso pods which were reluctant to come off! It all worked well. I went with your recommendation for Lavazza coffee and enjoyed that too. Many thanks.

Most excellent !

I got 5 clean POD's with the foil lids clean off. More than enough for me as re-use over and over :wink:

Did you buy the empty pods as an extra?
Although I struggled a bit I did manage to remove most of the foil. The pod worked fine with the little bit remaining on the rim.

Peeled off the foil lids from the uised ones. Bit fiddly to get the last bits off :wink:
Work's a treat.
