3rd party Nespresso pods

So, Nespresso pods are out of patent now, and 3rd party ones are starting to appear.

I bought a box of Dualit NX Smooth Espresso ones yesterday in my local department store (Bentalls).

They come individually sealed, but I'm not sure they taste as good, and the pods don't quite fall into my Pixi's bin always. They were also slightly more expensive than the Nespresso ones online.

End result - I've just ordered 200 more assorted genuine Nespresso ones.

    Costco do these in 2 strengths quite a bit cheaper than Nespresso,they are different but acceptable,you are right about the fit they stick in my machine sometimes but its not a problem,people please note these pods are not recommended for the cassette type machines.

    I also found that the Dualit ones leaked in the machine.

    So not that great all around then...
