    Has anyone found anywhere to get Nespresso vertuo pods cheaper?
    They're still under patent, unlike the original shape ones, hence why the original shape ones can be bought more cheaply from loads of places. Nespresso brought out the vertuo to offset the revenue loss when the patent expired on the original capsules

    Edit: You're probably looking at a decade or so before third party vertuo ones become available.
    There are reusable Vertuo pods available on Amazon.
    Those aren't filled though, unlike the readily available original shape Nespresso compatible pods.
    True, that's why they are reusable I guess, more coffee choices also....

    my new L'Or machine came with some XXL pods, which are twice the size of normal pods and make twice the amount of coffee in one go. So, two of those make a reasonable size cup of coffee, rather than using four of the normal ones, which is a bit of a hassle. I only seem to be able to find them from L'Or, though. Are there any other brands of double size pods?


    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I'm currently trying pods from KaffeKapslen which has wide range of different pods.

    A 100 pod original shape Nespresso compatible bundle is £12 so not too badly priced.

    They also have the Tassimo and dolce gusto options (but not the vertuo or the L'Or XXL pods)

    I just looked at that site linked and the phrase "too good to be true" comes to mind.
    They appear to be selling the genuine Tassimo pods at half the price of the best discounted price anywhere else.
    If the pods are "compatible" manufactured by another I want to be able to see that is what they are doing and make an informed decision.
    If they are truly selling the genuine pods at half the best market price, how do they do that?

    Honestly I've not bought the Tassimo pods so I don't know if they're genuine or not, I bought Nespresso compatible pods.

    My pods shipped from Denmark - is Tassimo a lot cheaper there perhaps?

    Their Tassimo pods are in the main more expensive than elsewhere.
    Kenco Americano £5.79 - Asda £4.00, Tesco £4.00
    Cadbury chocolate £4.30, Asda £4.00, Tesco £4.80
    Gervalia caramel latte £4.70, Tassimo £5.49 - as cheap as £3.84 with codes
    Marcilla espresso decaf £4.50, Tassimo £5.49 - so £3.84
    Their pricing is certainly more than I pay direct from Tassimo with the 25% or 30% discounts that are always available.

    OOPS - I just checked the receipt for the last pods I bought:

    Costa Latte £4.40
    Cadbury Hot Chocolate £3.00

    I was obviously experiencing brain fog when I wrote my earlier post...

    I imagine two of the cheapest, regardless of quality, would be AldiLidl.

    You haven't said what sort of pods you want, by the way.
