Those nespresso machine is one of the few thing, much cheaper to buy here then Hong Kong .. (Esp when using coupon)
Even just ~ $200, you can get the entry model, some middle model with coupon, can be purchased for ~ $300.
Those capsule is ~ $60-70 cent each, but espresso size (~ 80ml)
I was doing some chean up in my kitchen, and found 5 expired coffee bean .. ( expired in 2007!! LOL ) since I got the first nespresso machine ~ 4/5 yr ago, I have packed my other cappuccino machine la!
Their aeroccino machine is very good too, (but not made in swiss) can make cold or hot foam milk .. simple! and that is the only foaming machine I use now .. ^_^
I bought them from linen and thing, once a while, they have 20% off coupon online or from newspaper ..
Then once you bought your first nespresso machine, you are in their customer list, and they will send you NESPRESSO BOOK, and again, with coupon as well ..
However, they never offer coupon or discount for their capsule .. and you have to order them online, and pay extra for shipping.
Their capsule are 3-4 times more expensvie then other, but worth it. I usually order ~ 300 capsule a time ...
The capsules/pods are handy, however, they can never replace
freshly ground Italian style coffee beans.
I used Illy's pods, expensive ( 14 pods for $16) but found it inferior
to the same brand of coffee beans.
I sort of agree ..... and it is nice to grind the bean, and make one fresh coffee .. but .. ONE?

Too busy to make coffee in Cowtown, are you serious???
Non-dairy creamers are available at all major supermarkets,
Nestle, Carnation etc, and they come in 10+ different flavours,
they keep for months in the refrigerator, I got mine at Safeway.
Or you can buy the Rich Brand sugar free in the Freezer department.
The question is: why bother using phony colourant with artificial
flavouring and excessive sugar when you are using high end
coffee machine and coffee??
