Cheap Nespresso Compatible Pods

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. :-(

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.
