And you have still not factored in the cost of the machine.
Never mind. I'll leave this thread to you and your coffee grinder friends.
The apparent cost of the machine is £1 and already factored in. The real cost of the machine is part of the inflated price of the pods required.Never mind. I'll leave this thread to you and your coffee grinder friends.
I won't piss on your chips any more (than I already have) and just recognise that you really can't fix stupid.

I see. So for buying something I'm happy with, am happy with the product, raw material and cost, I'm stupid?
Ok.
You generally pay for the convenience vs methods involving freshly ground coffee but that’s no different to a lot of things in life. Ok.
They’re a great product as they’re a decent upgrade over instant coffee, the milk frother and machine are well designed and they’re quick and easy to use, without the faff (to the average person not the coffee enthusiast) of weighing out beans, clearing up bits of coffee grind that go over the surface, cleaning up after etc.
I’ve got a Nespresso machine and much prefer freshly ground beans, however the convenience if you have people over cannot be understated. And for a flat white they’re absolutely fine, not amazing but fine and amazing if you drink Nescafé Gold Blend ordinarily! After all, the milk masks some of the bitterness and harshness anyway.
Just my 2p, thought I’d stick up for you! Enjoy your machine.
My tip based on experience of mine is avoid supermarket pods, I’ve found they’re 99% of the time inferior to the real Nespresso ones.
To then compare with beans, it's 9 x 1460 grammes of coffee which is 13.1 kg. About £400 at £30/kg. Leaves £321 for a machine to break even.
So a cheapish bean-to-cup is going to work about about the same price over two years. With cheaper beans the beans and machine would probably be a little cheaper.

Take the cost of the machine out of your £721. Leaves £471.
£30/month buys 50 pods which is 1440 over 24 months. Divide £471 by 1440 and it's actually 32.7p per cup. And no mess.
But you can't educate stupid.
But you don't get the cost of the machine back, so you can't subtract it. At the end of two years you have spent £721 not £471. Unless you can somehow sell a two year old machine for the new RRP.£30/month buys 50 pods which is 1440 over 24 months. Divide £471 by 1440 and it's actually 32.7p per cup. And no mess.

By that logic if the machine had an RRP of £1000 Nespresso would be paying you to take coffee off their hands.
