The main selling feature for me is that Nespresso is easy to use. My steam phobic grandmother (who does not drink coffee) likes to borrow my machine so that she can serve good coffee to her guests. My own mother, who is unable to open a ketchup packet without squirting herself or someone else in a 3-foot radius, is able to use the machine incident free (11-months and counting woo-hoo! )

Has anyone tried the 3rd-party refillable nespresso capsules from Germany?
