Strange: You don't see this for other brands, do you ? Why just Nespresso ?

Answer: To cash in on the idea, and to grab as much of the Nespresso market share they can. And who cares if it ruins your machine along the way, as they don't warranty the quality of what you use, or problems it creates for you machines. Tough luck for you: Theye are only interested in grabbing some short-term market share.

I know a pensioner who used coffeeduck capsule to make tea. Nice idea for her. In the process of using that capsule, it ruined her machine, which we replaced last December.

Should someone replace cheap super market coffee at Starbucks ? Try that out in Wien, Milano, or Roma ? No one would go there I think, with business dropping off.

But for the capsule hijackers, it's your money in their fat dirty pockets.
