Keurig is drip, not pressure-- Moka pots are about 6 bar pressure, Nespresso is 19 bar. Minimum espresso is 15 bar. This is comparing apples and oranges, Keurig is NOT espresso. Both are great, just depends on your objectives. Nespresso, except for three of their 22 varieties, is ONLY coffee, not flavorings and chemicals. Keurig has many flavors. Nespresso users flavor their own. Chicory, rose water, honey, real vanilla, Torani... etc.

No comparison....Nespresso refillables are no very good...would not recommend it until they come up with their own.

I used Keurig in the office for a couple of years and the coffee is OK. I've had a Nespresso at home for 2 years and I prefer the taste of Nespresso to Keurig. But they both have quite a variety of flavors and you might find one you prefer over the other. You can also buy Keurig almost anywhere, even at the hardware store. Nespresso you have to order directly from them and have it delivered.

I'm shopping for a single-serve cofee maker, and am looking at the Tassimo just because Starbucks came out with T-Discs. I tried the regular ground Cafe Verona from Starbucks, and it is my favorite. It's dark roast but not as strong as Italian-roast espresso--which is normally my gold standard, but I liked the Verona better for straight coffee.

Sorry, but no, the Lavazza Blue (as well as Nespresso) capsules only work in their respective machines. They are all about half the size of k-cups since they are meant primarily for use as single espresso shots.

Theodore, I'm just like you, after a great espresso with thick crema. How did it work out for you? Thanks, Don

I got rid of my expresso and purchased a Nespresso system. Much more reliable durable and consistent. I am sure krups sellers these portafilter Good luck

The Nespresso machine is expensive (at least $200 if you want the bare bones model and milk frother) and the Nespresso pods are 3 times as expensive ($1 each for Nespresso and $0.33 for the Borbone). The coffee and crema are comparable. I use a simple, small DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) and it works fine. It is slightly more work, but no bad at all.

I think both iperEspresso and Nespresso capsules are so far removed from freshly roasted freshly ground coffee beans, that they are pretty much the same, in terms of quality. I use iperEspresso simply because it appeals to me and because their dark blend seems more intense than Nespresso's. Actually, the Monoarabica Brazil tastes better than the plain Dark roasted.

I have had a variety of Nespresso machines over the years and found them to be extremely convenient to use and the coffee they produced was very acceptable. The Jura replicates the simplicity of the Nespresso and in my subjective opinion provides much better tasting coffee. 1. Convenience : Jura Micro 1 equals the Nespresso 2. Taste of Coffee : Jura Micro 1 exceeds the Nespresso 3. Cost of Acquisition : Nespresso is cheaper than the Jura Micro 1 4. Cost per unit of coffee : Jura Micro 1 is cheaper than the Nespresso

The Nespresso is strictly for making espresso. However, if you like lattes or cappuccinos then this machine will make the perfect cup. Kureig pods won't fit this machine.

I also have Nespresso and just got the reusable/refillable capsules, they don't sell them at stores, only on eBay and maybe on amazon, work great! Nespresso machines use more pressure than most machines over $2000. My friend also has the one for $99, nothing fancy, but so good!

None that I am aware of. The Nesptesso coffee is so awesome I wouldn't even look anywhere else. Worth every penny.

If all you want is regular coffee, the Keurg would probably be a better device. It takes us much less space on your countertop than the DeLongi. The DeLongi is really designed to do espresso shot-style drinks and does a excellent job at that. It can also do regular Americano-style coffee, but has a small water tank in comparison. You will find yourself constantly refilling the tank if you do a lot of cups of coffee.

Guess it depends on your taste. I believe black and espresso go well together. Good luck!

You should should an espresso grind. Illy makes very good espresso grinds. The black Illy is the best. I don't use k cups (?) or pods and not sure if you can use them with this machine, but the description of the machine should tell you that. Or, contact Krups.

My sister has a senseo and I used those pods. Even the regular coffee pods came out nice! I was very surprised at how good the latte/cappucino pods were. Unfortunately my coffee machine is out of commision since there is a leak somewhere and the espresso button sticks. Have to send out to fix :(

I use the Lavazza Gran Crema single dose pods (coffee inside a filter packet). $51.36 for 150 from Amazon. Cheaper if you subscribe.

My votes go to Arpeggio and Ristretto, which come in the purple and black pods, respectively. But I think one would be hard-pressed to identify most flavors in a blind taste test, the core pods don't vary too widely in flavor.
