I found the nespresso pretty good, I have previously tried a machine called the "Presso" but it wasnt for me so I sold it. Without boring everyone to death, the standard 'single shot' of coffee should contain around 7 grams of ground coffee, my single shot basket for the Isomac wieghs in at 12 - 14 grams depending on grind and tamp ect, so technically I am drinking double shots of coffee, but only putting about 30 mls of water through it. The Nespresso pods wiegh in at 8 grams including the metal surround. So its a single shot but its just cutting it as a single shot. Because I am a coffee nut people think I just drink coffee all day, I drink 3 or 4 flat whites a day in cups about 220mls. So I just spent 18 days away and figured it out with my wife at about 150 pods. Nope. We busted through them in about a week, at first I found it a bit weak, but we drink 14 grams per shot at home, so we bassicaly doubled out intake and found that it was fairly acceptable in taste and better than most cafe take aways. So the spare space in my van will have about 500 coffee pods in it. Now if I payed for 8 take aways a day for 18 days its about about 600 dlrs, the delonghi machine I bought was 240 including a thingy called the aerocinno for doing milk which I think was the best part of it. The pods are about 100 bucks for 150 delivered, so I saved money in the end. Now before everyone thinks I drink to much caffiene, go and google caffiene levels in drinks, youll find espresso is not that high, so to all those tea drinkers who drink 10 cups of tea a day, your pobally having the same amount of caffiene as I am. I could go on forever about it but I have to go to work, but the nespresso pod machines will do me and the aerocinno milk heater is a cracker.
