Cheap Nespresso Compatible Pods

[cocotwice]

Was shocked to see that Costco are now selling pods that work in Nespresso machines. Having just spent over £70 for pods that work out over 33p each I was gutted to see a big box of pods in two strengths for just £19.99 with no Vat on them. I think there were 100 pods in a box. Medium 3 roast or medium 4 dark roast were the two flavours on offer. They were also selling a Nespresso machine and they had one of their testers making coffee's using their pods in the Nespresso machine. I like the green Indirya pods or the purple pods and this was most close to the Medium 3 roast - the 4 tasted a little more bitter and not as smooth.
I wonder how long it will be before Nespresso find out and stop them selling them!

Visited my local Costco today, No Nespresso machine or compatible Nespresso capsules stocked. :-(

I tried Sheffield Costco was told they will only be at larger stores.

Costco Watford has the Nespresso machine and the compatible Nespresso pods in stock the last time I was there.

There are few companiess in Europe that have started selling Nespresso compatible pods. The patent runs out next year, so I suspect we might get lots more copies!

Excellent news - about time the Nestle rip-off got a serious challenge. They're fighting hard to protect their patents (only one of which expires in 2012) but with luck they'll lose. Not a nice company, in so many ways.

Which model Nespresso machine was it? I already have a machine but wanting to upgrade to the Lattissma

[tailo]

I think it's the Lattissima.

[sadie11]

None in Sheffield. If anyone visiting Costco this week can they please post model stocked.
Thanks

It was the Watford store that had the pods last week and it was the Lattissima Nespresso model they had on offer with plenty of stock.

The only good thing about that company is that they have George Clooney on the ads! lol!

would love a nespresso, (currently have a tamissio and don't like the coffee) where is the cheapest place to purchase the actual nespresso (do not have access to a costco )

Try Currys or Comet.

In Spain you can buy compatible capsules in any supermarket (from a well-known coffee brand, can't remember the name at this moment), but I calculated the price per capsule and it was the same as the originals, so I didn't bother...

There are plenty of videos on youtube of how to make your own capsules thought....

Just back from Costco Glasgow

The machine is the lattissma en660 (looks like an old model as it is not on the Delonghi website), inc VAT £203, no sign of either nespresso nor generic pods ;o(

Saw a pretty negative review of the 670 model on youtube (can't do links) that has put me off this model but still like the look of the Citiz with the milk frother, but might wait and see what happens with the Generic pods first.

John Lewis are selling the Nespresso XN2003 Essenza Coffee Machine by Krups, Black for £64.99, and it comes with £40 of free coffee. This is the cheapest I've found. sorry can't do links.

Just seen Nespresso capsules on Amazon they are imported from Israel by the looks of it. I heard that the pods werent allowed to be sold elsewhere as they have to be stored and refrigerated carefully which was why you could only order from them directly or in their retail shops. I've got a Citiz and love it - best thing I bought. Lots of offers on John Lewis for free Nespresso club credit.
