Decided I’m going to save myself £350ish a year and buy non Nespresso pods.
The Lidl ones seem ok but d’Or also very good.
Wife drinks these, according to our Amazon history she's got through 1100 so far The Lidl ones seem ok but d’Or also very good.

I've given up caffeine, does anyone know of a good Nespresso decaf?

Looks like Yankee Bundles is no more, which is a shame as their Starbucks deals were great value.
I had a couple of emails to say they were selling everything off while they revamp the website so hopefully they will be back. I'm out of Starbucks Blonde so I'm hoping it won't be long.Mr Pointy said:

I just came here to post the same thing; I've ordered 240 pods for £40, so 16.6p a pod which is really good value (compared to 39p for Nespresso). I just wish I could convince my wife to convert.https://discountdragon.co.uk/product-category/food...
I'm not a big coffee drinker at all, but I enjoy a coffee from the Nespresso machine at work from time to time. I warm a quarter of a mug of milk in the microwave first, which also warms the mug, then put it straight under the Nespresso machine.
I suppose that's a sort of upside down flat white. I appreciate this isn't the right way to make a good coffee, but it's the least faff. We have a milk frother, but it always looks grimy so I don't use it.
I'm thinking about getting a machine for home. I won't use it a great deal, so it's not worth getting an expensive one. The Vertuo and Tassimo pods seem a bit expensive as you have to use the branded pods.
Not sure if I should get a Dolce Gusto or a Nespresso? I was in Lidl today and I see they sell compatible pods for both machines, which seem reasonably priced. Dolce Gusto pods look a bit bigger and they have cappuccino and latte pods, so perhaps that is a better option for someone like me, who doesn't drink pure espresso?

Yes I've looked at a few websites this morning and they have all said Nespresso tastes better.
Small pod Nespresso machines start at £90 compared to Dolce Gusto at £30. The difference in spec in spec appears to be the DG has 15 bar of pressure and the Nespresso has 19 bar.
I'm curious as to what makes Nespresso taste better. Is it the brewing process or the type of coffee in the capsules? You can buy for example, Starbucks espresso pods in either format, but would they taste different?
You can buy pod adapters to make a DG take a Nespresso pod. Aldi also sell a coffee machine for £90 that can take both types of pod, however it only runs at 15 bar.

If you want to try a machine look on Gumtree to see if there are any for sale local to you. I picked up a Nespresso Inissia for £15 last week & there are lots of Vertuo machines for sale as people have found they are expensive to run.Small pod Nespresso machines start at £90 compared to Dolce Gusto at £30.

We popped into Hotel Choclate retail outlet in Gloucester this week. Boxes of 60 pods to suit Nespresso were £5.98. Got 4 varieties and very nice. We switched to Lidl pods a long time ago. I think you like the coffee you get used to….or maybe that’s just me.
you sure?? £0.10 a pod sounds very very cheap.... showing as £19.95 on their site!Marcellus said:
