    buying pod coffee costs about 50 euros a pound vs
    7 euros for bagged coffee,most pod coffee they use the cheaper coffee,


    you can buy refillable pods and put your own coffee in


    as for your problem,just order double the amount,when you have 25% left order more

    I would say that Nespresso pods don't use the cheaper quality coffee, but they may well buy it a a cheaper price (due to volume).

    The refillable pods are a joke as far as I can see. Very time consuming which I would suggest defeats the purpose of coffee pods?

    I got a deal on groupon a few weeks back from the fine coffee club.
    The coffee was amazing. I've since reordered 100 capsules for less that 30e including delivery, seemed to be no minimum order either
    No issues with compatibility, taste amazing and crema superb (if slightly too frothy on the light roast..... But sure who drinks light anyway)

    Def check them out, worth a try!

    Which blends did you get? I'm curious about their intensity rating, is it comparable with Nespresso's own one? Is their Dark Roast basically a Roma?

    Got light, medium, dark, the dark one like Roma in intensity but not as harsh as bitter, delicious! ordered some Ethiopian,Arabica also, haven't tasted them yet, on the way!

    Nespresso is definitely commodity, not specialty coffee, so it would be a lot cheaper than what 3FE or Coffeemojo would buy.

    Im only new to Nespresso but I enjoy the flavours and stick to the espressos. I don't do it to save money, I just like it. It is true that deliverys take longer than stated. I ordered some coffee yesterday. I'll see how long it takes!
