Apologies first for the thread necromancy..
I have just picked up a machine here in tokyo; and here the capsules are 735-840 JPY per pack. In the UK I now know they are 2.70-3.10GBP.
Are the capsules safe in checked luggage? I am over to Uk/Paris in May, I at 50% cost, I might stock up!.. but then I dont want 250 capsules to die on the Long Haul back!
Any ideas?
oh, and on topic: Pro - fast coffee that tastes great for someone who likes to make latte using the aerochinno

Con, it seems my capsules are super pricey!
