Since this thread is active, I guess I'll post a question I had this morning. Good timing...

So I'm at a hotel with a Nespresso machine. The hotel provided a few capsules of coffee and a few regular tea bags. I'm not a huge fan of coffee and would much prefer to have the tea. Is there any way to make a traditional cup of tea with the machine?

I'm assuming if I don't put a capsule in the machine will just give hot water. However, there's a step by step instruction sign that says the machine will not work unless there's a capsule. I figured I'd post here before making a mess doing something wrong.
