Thin aluminuim foil on used capsules works fine. Another tip is to buy from a boutique with the voucher as no post no minimum capsules of a flavour to worry about.

Nespresso machines are way better than other brands pod machines cos they don't use any nasty uht milk, you add your own fresh milk.

I tried loads of third party pods but stuck with the nespresso branded ones cos they were better.

I then found Fine Coffee Club compatibles, they're just as nice (some are nicer imo), & are a few pence cheaper too.

Not bad. Close to current 2nd hand ebay prices with postage (about £40). Plus you get about 90 pods for free with the £45 voucher offer.

The £45 voucher breaks down as £15 off three orders from the Nespresso online shop.There is no minimum order though, so you can simply order £10 worth and use the £5 left towards postage.
(Cheapest Delivery is £4/£5 depending on doorstep or collection point. Amounts to 3 delivery's of about £10 worth or 3x30 @ 30p each capsules 'for free'. Free Standard Delivery only on orders over 200 capsules, which at ~30p each means a £60 average order cost...)

So not too bad - You can reuse the pods with chocolate wrapper foil as illustrated here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Refill-Used-Nespresso-Capsules-The-Right-Way/?ALLSTEPS#step4 (A lot of messing about though)

I have a Dolce Gusto machine are these any better. I like the idea of cheaper pods, what is the cost per pod in pound land and Ludlow?

The official pods from nespresso are quite cheap anyway. About 28p a pod.

Great price, I have this same machine but in Sky Blue, Lidl's compatibles are great!
Shame Aldi discontinued theirs, as they were good if not slightly better than the Lidl ones.

Think this deal was posted a month ago too. A quick search?

Also available white for 68.90 scroll down the linked page. If this was a different colour at the lower price I'd have bought one.

And poundland do a range of pods too.

Just bought this and had the quidco money through as well... Works a treat and you can get cheap nespresso cartridges from Lidl now!

1.5% quidco too - every little helps
