[@kylemclaughlin8319]

Stop hating people 😅 this would actually be beneficial for me bc I was given an nespresso machine as a gift with starter pack of there pods. They all tasted good but problem is there prices are kind of on the high side. So this would be a good alternative for me.

[@thebestname1232]

Even in this case, I'd recommend making much better coffee with a french press or a cone and paper filter. You can still use the nespresso when you're ready to splurge on pods, but this method will likely make not so good coffee, which might seem okay when covered in sweetener, but the difference between well made coffee is huge.

[@AnnaMBanana]

​@@thebestname1232 there's a difference between how nespresso coffee comes out and how a French press or pour over comes out. Nespresso uses a similar concept of pulling a real espresso shot. Water is shot through the coffee grounds instead of hanging out with them for a while. The pressure and force creates a velvety texture with a layer of rich foam on top. It's much different than other brewing methods, so it comes down to preference. While I do enjoy a nice pour over occasionally, I much prefer my nespresso coffee. If I couldn't afford the pods, I would absolutely buy this gadget to help me get the same type of coffee for cheaper

[@thebestname1232]

@@AnnaMBanana I don't think any substantial pressure can be made with this method, which is the difference between just shooting water through coffee and espresso. Although i've only played around with a friend's nespresso machine so I could be wrong, but at the end of the day if you gave a good attempt at making the best coffee possible with other methods and you still like the nespresso coffee then power to you, how much you enjoy it is only thing that matters.

[@AnnaMBanana]

@thebestname123 I actually worked for one of the nespresso call centers for a decent amount of time. The company claims "19 bars of pressure" is achieved with their machines. I'm not a technician, so I wouldn't be the one to verify that claim. But that's what they claim creates the crema or "foam" on top of the coffee. It's just different than other at-home brewing methods, so it's hardly comparable. Now if you'd try to compare it to other espresso methods, that would be a wildly different conversation.

[@thebestname1232]

@@AnnaMBanana My original gripe with this method is that when you shoot water through coffee, you get more pressure the finer, and more tightly coffee is ground and packed together. The coffee grounds in nespresso pods are much finer than the ground coffee found at stores. Putting in any ground up coffee definitely won't be creating much pressure, effectively turning it into spun up drip coffee, but without the ability to tune it to your tastes like with other methods. The foam here is likely due to just the spinning of the pod, which is different from crema that comes from the coffee's C02 content when it's under pressure.

[@GeonQuuin]

@John Makes Coffee I understand that, but I hope you understand that to someone who has only just stepped into the world of coffee, coffee people come across as insufferably pretentious. It's really a stark contrast from other communities (namely, the whiskey community for me since that's what I know). Good coffee seems so gatekept behind snobbery and elitism, it's discouraging.

Personally I love my barista express espresso machine, but I will say as a coffee enthusiast your grounds are way to coarse. You need much finer grounds or else your just making “drip coffee” But we can definitely appreciate the $$$ saving ideas!

@@MB-gd6beYeah a good portafilter starts used at like 200€ and new around 400€ with a grinder that’s in Nespresso terms like 3/4 Months of coffee and the price for a machine. And after that every kg of coffee sets you back 10-20€ (highly depends on what coffee seomone likes and the quality) and is like 50 or more coffees worth. The only downside is it takes a bit of learning to get used to a portafilter machine and make good coffee but that’s maximum of 2 weeks until you have basically mastered it.

Hahahaha, wrong!!! 1st with that you will break your machine!! 2nd, the Nespresso capsules of the VERTUO line have a barcode that detects the amount of water, temperature, rotation speed for your cream and everything you need for your coffee. Each capsule with different settings. 3rd The coffee you use costs 15 dollars and has 340g, you are paying 1 dollar for each 22g. Plus the stickers cost. Nespresso capsules are aprox. 1USD dolar each. How much are you saving? The same brand of coffee you are using, sells Original Line Nespresso capsules, why do you think it doesn't sell for VERTUO? Does what you're doing make sense?

[@m.s.1715]

Many Pods are 1.25

[@gilles111]

The only reason why no other brands than Nespresso are selling capsules for the Vertuo is because of the patents Nespresso hold for the machine and the cups. With the regular machines they only had patents on the machines not the cups so many other brands have their own cups nowadays. With those lessons in mind, with the Vertuo, Nespresso put patents on the capsules too.
