What math? The math of nespresso vs k-cup? I know it's more expensive, but you can't do espresso with keurig. If you're talking about the math of DIY you are not taking into consideration the math of labor and time.

Most full automatic machines are faster than a espresso machine. You you just fill it like twice a week and not every single time. IMO the time point does not count. Disclaimer: I dont know what a keurig is. I only drink espresso and i like them as good as possible

  I have a full automatic at home. Another one for the office would cost me about $1000. I got the one I have used. It takes up a lot of space. The nespresso was about $70 and is tiny. I recycle the pods.

    Sorry for beeing picky on this. Ive worked a while with coffee machines while getting my IT edu. A 70$ nespresso machine is a mess. Realistically you would replace that yearly because it gets to a health hazard soon. (Mold and crisp plastic) a good one with basic standards will cost you more like $250. A ok fullautomate can be bought from like $500. About the recylcling ether you make art out of them or that really does not mean that much. Painted plastic coated aluminium does not really recycle very well. When people brought in nespresso machines (of all price ranges except the >$500 ones from proper brands) we would show them the internals and scratch a little mold from here and there. It was seriously the most easy way to sell them a proper machine.

      They're not hard to clean at all and it is recommended that you do so just like it is on all of the full autos I've used. I don't have to worry about the people that think that you never have to run a maintenance cycle on the machine to clean it. Also, the mold problem is because most people leave the machine loaded after use. If you merely open the loader and leave it open it releases the just-used pod and dries out on its own.
