Now the nespresso capsule patent has ended there are a lot of compatible out there giving users a lot more options. I recently bought an L'or machine which is actual made by Philips. Cost about £120 for the machine and 300 capsules so you basically get the machine free.
Actually.... I need to write about that, how could I forget!!!
It's exactly like the Printer - Printer Ink model. I like L'or. They also make Nespresso compatible pods
