#3Interesting! Please author, pull through all the types of pods, and give us a tasting-analysis and subjective rating! You did not like the one you tried, but each type do taste quite differently.

#4My feeling last time I saw one in person:
Convincing the public to install a coffee vending machine in their house at cost to themselves by marketing it as a coffee machine was an impressive feat.
They're very small, stylish, and low-priced.
Until you start to buy the pods for your vending machine.

#5"Speciality coffee doesn’t offer anything to the consumer who wants to drink great espresso at home, but doesn’t want a new hobby."
This is an amazing take away, and I think many coffee roasters, gin distillers and beer Brewers ought remember it.

Eh if it means im replacing a $3-$4 cup of coffee with a 50 cent cup of coffee + convenience, sounds good to me.

This is addressed in the article, and the author limits the article to the technical feat of producing consistency in espresso production from a cold-start in 50 seconds.
To quote:
> What I haven’t really talked about here is how it tasted. I didn’t really like how the shots tasted, but I have a very different preference for many aspects of coffee and espresso compared to the typical (Nespresso) consumer. I’ve repeatedly tried to make the point that thinking we are somehow safe from the dominance of Nespresso, because we can make coffee taste better, is not a smart way to think.
Taste isn't the argument (and that argument has been had and is being had many times per day on countless other sites).

This is exactly why I use a Nespresso machine. At $5 and ~10 minutes per cup of coffee from the coffee shop, with varying outcomes depending on the barista, vs 70¢ + milk per cup and almost perfectly identical every time, it just makes sense to use one.
Even at one cup per working day, that's a saving of over $20 per week for me. Even one of the top end machines would pay for itself in months.

You can get a decent superautomatic for $400, and a nice one for $700. This is quite a bit more than the nestle, but you probably end up breaking even after a year and getting better coffee at the same time.
