I'm hoping to see the first gen Keurigs go on sale myself but I do like the look of these and I wouldn't mind having a backup for our tassimo.

I personally think they're both the same both uses propitiatory pods/cups. If Nespresso or Starbucks is not producing that type of coffee then you're out of luck. Unlike Tassimo and Keurig which have a wide selections of pods/cups (i.e. starbucks, timothy, tim hortons...etc) so you're not limited to one brand.

my 2 cent.

Hmm I have my T20 and Keurig Mini Brewer (free from RFD contest) lying in the basement collecting dust. Have not bought K Cups nor T Discs for a year or more than that. Wondering if this will be the same case as it may collect dust.

Hmm...

Contemplating falling for this consumerism trap and getting on this deal...
You can always use these and refill your own coffee/drink: http://www.ebay.com/itm/My-Cap-Foil-Sea ... 1138180541

or do this for free: http://sixmonsters.com/2013/02/03/ridic ... ismo-pods/

Personally though I think i would stick with Keurig 1.0/hacked Keurig 2.0

This machine is pretty bad, I would go with Nespresso. Not here to argue, im sure some feel its better but IMO I would get Nespresso.

If you like espresso shots, especially strong espresso, the Nespresso is the best option. The quality and flavour of the espresso is very, very good. To get similar quality from my Breville espresso machine, I need to pick really good beans, grind them just right and make sure to measure out the coffee and time the extraction just right.

Verismo is good if you like things like lattes and mochas, but you can also get those from a Tassimo machine for cheaper. Kerurig is good as a straight coffee brewer, but it can't make espresso, or any other type of drink for that matter.

But for espresso, the Nespresso is pretty darn hard to beat. The Inissia can be had for $120 using the 20% off coupon from Home Outfitters, and you can get $75 of capsules for free when you buy a machine. Not as cheap as this verismo, but still pretty good.

The box of verismo cups are $12.95 each, so youre paying $51.80 + tax for 4 boxes and the machine. EDIT: The machine comes with an extra box so 5 boxes and the brewer for $51.80 + tax

You get the Verismo 580 Silver for free:

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT USE KCUPS OR TASSIMO CUPS, this uses the STARBUCKS VERISMO CUPS

Deals starts this Thurdays (Dec 18)

This would make a fine Xmas gift if you guys are out of ideas, but at the same time its not Kcup or Tassimo... so meh. But i dont think you can argue with the price.
Happy Hunting!
It should just be $51.80 there isn't tax on coffee.
