On holibobs our French ski apartment had a Nespresso machine, which produced a cup of OK-ish coffee, I can see the attraction, especially for space challenged kitchens, but the waste is astonishing. However, that's not the end of the story as I discovered there is a competing capsule system called Tassimo, clearly the result of a bunch of blokes (yeah, I reckon) sitting around thinking, "Those folk at Nespresso really haven't taken the packaging concept as far as they can, let's see what we can do". The simple Nespresso foil capsule is replaced by a substantial plastic contraption. To be honest, I don't know how they work as I found this difference out by buying the wrong type for the Nespresso. If anyone has a Tassimo machine and would like a few coffee capsules, let me know, I'm going to put them on my local freecycle very shortly.
