I'm not really paying Nestle though.
I buy aftermarket cups (10 for 2 euro 50, less than half the price of their own cups!) and the machine is made by Krups. I use those same cups at work because they removed all the coffee machines and put nespressos in place of them. The reason was that the machine coffee was so horrible everyone started bringing their own nespresso machine (they had a really good deal at the time). So now they just provide those in the office. The company I work for is too cheap to pay for coffee for us.
But for me it wouldn't work to do it manually. My house is a huge mess most of the time and messing with grinds etc requires more space.
- Arch-TK 2y agoIf you're using aftermarket pods then you should use an aftermarket machine too, nespresso puts the gasket required to build pressure on the pod itself, and this gasket is patented preventing aftermarket pods from having the same gasket design. Since the gasket is on the pod it is not on the machine meaning that stock nespresso machines will have issues with aftermarket pods. Some aftermarket machines have their own seal, which compensates for this problem when using aftermarket pods.

- wkat4242 2y agoAh I had indeed felt the rubbery layer inside the rim before. I was wondering what that was about. I don't have any issues with it though. But if my machine breaks I'll buy an aftermarket machine. Good point! I wonder if the older machines also have this issue by the way.
