Not sure if this has been posted before but did a search and couldn't find it but apologies if it has.
Firstly create an account on the Nespresso site. Then phone Nespresso customer services as you can't add the free glasses online and are only for new customers.
Order the Nespresso Pixie machine, which is on offer for £69. There is a choice of 4 - Electric Red or Electric Titanium (both Krups) or Electric Aluminium or Carmine (both Magimix).
Then ask for the 150 capsule selection pack, I got the milk one which has 14 varieties of coffee. This automatically gives you the Aeroccino worth £50. Then ask them about the free gift as you are a new customer and I was given the choice of either 2 x Espresso cups and saucers or 2 x Capuccino cups and saucers (these should be £14).
The total for this was £115.10, bargain!! There might be a couple of quid difference depending on which capsules you select but my price was for the milk selection.
My machine came the next day and was really suprised at the quality of packaging the capsules and cups came in. I know these machines are available cheaper but for the £15-£20 extra you're getting the capsules and cups. I think the offer is on while 31st October.

I have to say that after having a Gaggia Classic and burr grinder, a mokka pot, a Delonghi bean to cup, an Illy pod machine and mostly lately a Lavazza pod machine + milk frother, I find the Lavazza makes a delicious cappuccino with least mess and consistently beautifully frothered milk for less than 20p a coffee shot (original Lavazza pods when on offer). It all depends on what you like and how much you want to spend. I think I've found a happy medium (for now).

I know what you are saying but in some cases it is the convenience of it.

I really don't get the appeal of these pod machines. At around 30p per coffee, you soon end up spending way more than you would have by buying a proper espresso machine & ground coffee (and you'd be drinking an inferior drink!)...

On the website its showing as £69? +Free Aeroccino is the extra for the cups?

You've got to buy 150 capsules to get the free Aeroccino

Got this deal myself over the weekend. Retail stores are also offering special boxes with redeemable codes inside. We bought ours from John Lewis Bristol

People don't necessarily buy them as a replacement for a good espresso. Personally, I bought one to replace instant coffee. Takes as long as boiling the kettle to get a better coffee, which does come from a pre-ground freeze dried bean rather than granulated instant muck like a dolce gusto. I still buy a good espresso from an artisan roast cafe.

They're definitely not for me, but I can definitely see why someone would want to just stick a pod in a machine and have a coffee ready 30 seconds later rather than grind coffeee, tamp it, make an espresso, throw away the grinds, wash up everything and flush the machine.
It's worth the effort for me but it's definitely not quick.

Yeah I guess that's it - though I'd rather save a bit of cash and have a nicer brew for the sake of a couple minutes inconvenience....

What machine would you recommend that would be cheaper than this?
