Has anyone factored in the cost of coffee used in the capsule? Including coffee and disposible pod, what is average cost?

A capsule averages .21 to .25 to buy (buying 100 or 200 at a time) plus coffee - gourmet coffee at $10.99 a pound, you will need approx $1.10 to fill 10 capsules - so approx 34 cents per capsule for a gourmet blend. You can fill it cheaper with lesser blends or sale espressos or sky's the limit if you wish coffee for $49 a pound - lol

Good question. I do not know. I send the capsules back to Illy for recycling. Coffee is really good.

I've had mine for about 10 months. I think it makes great cups of regular coffee for a pod machine. It makes 8 oz. but you can easily get a few more ozs. out of each pod. In my opinion the darker coffees (Verona, anniversary blend) taste the best. If your goal is to save money then I wouldn't buy this machine. It's really more about convenience and IMO a better cup than the K.

I make a double shot cappuccino two or three times a day. I use approx. two tsps. per cappuccino, I also use 8.8 package of espresso. I would say approx. 43 per 8.8 package. I have a machine that uses capsules, cost too much for what I use. you save big time by using ground coffee.

I've heard that some places sells the empty capsules so you can refill them with your favorite coffee... haven't tried yet, since I like the ones sold by Nexpresso... but will try soon! Good luck!

The pods included in this variety pack are all caffeinated. I would order directly from nespresso.com. You can order the coffees you like (by strength and/or caffeine content) and the cost is half of anything you'd pay on Amazon, even with the shipping. Edited to fix a typo

I have not had good experience with the refillable product. It seems that best results come when using an espresso fine grind, but not powder. Then you need to pack the capsule with your finger, otherwise the water runs through too quickly and the coffee does not brew. Then there is the mess from the process. Bottom line for me was the cost savings were not worth the work, clean-up, and diminished quality.

Don't know if you still need answers for this, but Nespresso is the only place you can order capsules from aside from the 12 varieties they include in each coffee machine. They charge a flat rate 2-business day shipping of $6.95 per order, so regardless if you order 1 sleeve (10 capsules) or 50 sleeves (500 capsules), they all cost $6.95 to ship. You can order directly from the Nespresso website by creating an account or call their 1800 number 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Nespresso offers you a "Welcome Offer" for your first order, which they throw in a free wooden tasting box (a $55 dollar value) when you purchase their pack of 20 sleeve (200 capsules). All coffee capsules are tax free.

It works with my Pixie Nespresso. Had a few off brand capsules which didn't perforate correctly. So I open up the capsules and used the coffee to fill the Coffeeduck. Certainly lacks the ease of use of the ready for usecapsules, but at a much reduced price. also, youhave the oprion of using any brand and flavor of your choice. I enjoy the option.

I just bought this and also bought Reusable Single Cup Keurig Solo Filter Pod Coffee Stainless Mesh. They come 6 to a pkg. I paid $14.99 for the 6.

Sorry, I'm no help here, Mitch. I buy the 36 cup boxes of 3 different San Francisco Bay coffees for just a little more than your 80 cup price. I don't use the K cups exclusively ... I also make pots of coffee, too.

The very best price I have found is through Amazon. I get the best price by Amazon subscription. Every other month I get a shipment of 12 packages. I use about 4 pods every day. They are also sold in larger supermarkets, but at a much higher price. The type of pods it takes are now made my Malitta. I buy Dark Roast - Eighteen pods come in each package. Target Stores used to carry them too, but I don't think they still do.

NO, however, save your money. Kroger stores has Mr. Coffee pod maker on sale for $79 AND it doesn't break down like this did AND it uses K-cups and Kroger has their own brand which saves another 30%!

I also bought it for $14.99 with prime. As much as I love timmies coffee, I think $30 is expensive and I would not have bought it at that price.

It is usually about $7 for a pkg of 5-6 packets, that depends on flavor for some reason. Just be careful, I was taken advantage by one seller who added more in postage to overnight the coffee than the coffee was worth. AND I never asked for overnight service.

We've been using our SL7810/65 for several weeks and love it. Good coffee with nice froth on top. Any ideas about where to get coffee pods at a good price? Target and WalMart in our area seem to be phasing out Senseo coffee pods.

I have used the coffee duck for years now and still get the great frothy cup of coffee gotten with pods. I actually use Kirkland brand (from Costco) 100% Columbian Coffee, Supremos Bean Dark Roast Fine Grind. A THREE POUND can costs under $15., can't beat that! I like a fairly strong cup of coffee. Be careful filling the coffee duck so as not to get any on the rim, so the top piece can fit properly on top. I try to put as much coffee in as possible and mound it a little in the center of the coffee duck. I use the 2 cup setting and get a strong, frothy 16 oz mug (after adding my creamer). I know I posted a pic somewhere on Amazon, I think on a coffee duck product page. I have used the coffee duck for years now and still get the great frothy cup of coffee gotten with pods.
