That may have changed because I have since moved to the Vertuo line and those pods don't go on sale at nespresso.
I'm liking the Lavazza pods at the moment... currently on sale at Walmart too!

I think price-wise, they all balance out in the end (cheaper machine, expensive pods vs. expensive machine, cheaper coffee).
Having used all three pod systems (Keurig, Tassimo and Nespresso), the quality and convenience of Nespresso is unmatched. It's so much better it's not even a contest. But IMO, Nespresso still falls way short of an espresso made from a semi automatic using freshly ground beans. So if you're picky about your coffee, I'd say go with a Breville Barista Express, you won't regret it. If you make lots of milk-based drinks (i.e. lattes, cappuccino etc..), spend a bit more and get the Barista Touch, the milk system on that is exceptionally good and fully automated.

Can these make regular coffee and not just espresso?

Also, people looking for the vertuoline, check out Canada Computer, they're clearing bundles for about $140 for the set.

It's YMMV, I know the mississauga location had a few.

I wouldn't say falls way short. It's not better, yet close enough. Nespresso is zero effort and maintenance comparing to the other espresso machines. It doesn't need fancy beans, expensive grinder or knowledge to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee.

Long shot but also check Amazon warehouse. I paid $130 for that VertuoPlus +Aeroccino bundle and only the packaging was damaged.

Remember to think about the environment and recycle your pods. Nespresso will send or give you a free recycling bag with return postage paid for pod recycling when you order pods from them.

Yep, as far as convenience and effort I completely agree. We especially like the recycling through Canada Post. Since our Delonghi super-auto died, we now have a VertuoPlus Deluxe (w/Aeroccino 4) as well as a Barista Touch on our counter. We've tried all the sample espressos and ordered a bunch of doube-shots (Scuro and Chiaro). As far as espresso taste and richness, for my wife and I and visitors we've had over, the Breville is winning out so let's agree to disagree : )

It might be zero effort, but you're paying quite some price for that convenience. You don't really need fancy coffee beans, neither do you have to use a grinder (but freshly ground coffee does taste much better). A bag of decent coffee would be as little as $7 and it would be good for at least 25-30 cups. The cheapest Nespresso options are $0.76 per cup. Besides, I wouldn't say using a regular espresso machine is so much trouble - it's well under one minute to get a cup of espresso.

Costco.ca has the Nespresso Inissia by De'Longhi for $99.97

With Aeroccino for $149.00

I bought the same combo from Costco online for $200 in Christmas week. Can I get the price matched at Costco ? Also, I used $50 coupon which I had received for membership renewal, for this order. Will that be refunded or adjusted ?

I would hope a $1500 espresso machine would beat nespresso capsules :)
I myself haven't been spoiled enough with coffee to justify investing that much money upfront, I have most likely spent that much on nespresso machine and capsules over two years of ownership though.

This is the machine using the big capsule. Sounds a good price. Has any deal for compatible capsules?

I don't think there are compatible pods yet since there is still patent on this? Could be wrong though...

I hope people don't get discouraged by the upfront cost, because either way you end up paying about the same, upfront or over time.

Take my family for example, between my wife and I we average about 3 drinks total per day. With Nespresso it's about 95c each (Vertuo double-espresso pods) whereas with the Barista Touch and a quality bean it works out about 25c each. That's a daily premium for us of $2.10 with Nespresso (or in other words, a $2.10 saving per day for the other machine). So in our case, we would achieve a break even point in total cost in 1.5 years. Now if we drank any more than that 3/day average (for example, if we entertained guests from time to time) or we end up owning the machine for more than 1.5 years (not unreasonable), the cost benefit tilts towards the Breville.

All this to say, people should do the math for their usage. They may be surprised by the latent value of an expensive machine. :)

Would the touch version make better coffee then the cheaper breville?
