Got a Nespresso Coffee Machine for Christmas - Capsules?

[Aubrey]

As per the title, got a nice shiny new Nespresso machine for Christmas today which I love. It came with a few coffee capsules (most of which I've used!), but as far as I can see you can only buy new ones on the internet or at their London, Birmingham & Manchester boutiques, anyone seen the capsules for sale anywhere else?

Thanks.

ebay's the only other place I've seen them, although I did get someone else's order in with mine last time I ordered and ended up with about a year's supply of Ristretto

You can get them from all major supermarkets.....

Yup, their websites don't list them as Nespresso.

Try searching for 'Dolce Gusto' - that's one of the varieties.

Thanks, I'll have a look, I didn't think the Dolce Gusto capsules fitted the Nespresso machines.

Ahhh, could be wrong, then - the capsules look identical to me!

I have one and it is excellent. However, i do find having to belong to 'Club Nespresso' a bit annoying. I'd be interested to learn if the others do 'fit'?

I thought it made us all feel like George Clooney?!

Ive never seen them omn sale anywhere, even the shops that sell them tell you that they are only available online.

Not much help sorry but I have seen them in a few shops in France.

And in Cannes some really nice holders (nearly said racks )

Reasonably sure you can only buy the capsules from Nestle. If I were you, if you don't mind wiping up coffee grains from the counter, I'd get the receipt and swap it for a manual machine. Those, you can put any espresso coffee into.

I normally order via the Nespresso website (DHL delivery)

Only place i've seen them in the real world was in Selfridges in the trafford centre (in mad for it madchester)

Got a proper machine, messy things! I far prefer the Nespresso system, so much easier and good coffee.

I'm pretty sure they sell the capsules in Bentalls in Kingston. There is a big shop selling them in the centre of Bern, but that's a long way to go for coffee :-)

Aah thats a bit closer to home, i'll try there. Thanks.

We order online quick and easy (after first time). Generally order enough to last 12 months as the coffee doesn't seem to lose taste.
Cups and accessories are a joke prices, far cheap on high street, never used a cleaning kit (had it 7 years) they are now cheap enpugh to replace when broken rather than repair. Saw one Wednesday at £99.95 with a coupon to redeem £20 from manufacturers as well.

Ah yes "Club nespresso" its only a matter of time before it disappears entirely up its own arse

So good coffee but the most annoying pretentious bullst laden marketing ever. if it wasn't so brain meltingly easy to make a half decent coffee i would bin it and buy a real coffee machine. but i can't be arsed with all hassle that a real coffee machine seems to involve.

All I need is a teaspoon...

The on line service for getting coffee capsules is very good. Ordered some before Christmas and they arrived the next day !

A great machine. Tried all the alternatives and this really is the best.
