There is a new Vertuo line, with smaller half-moon wrapped pods similar to the commercial variety sold before. The Vertuo machine makes either standard coffee, or espresso, offering your guests a choice apparently. It looks like a Rimowa with the side rillen, which is what caught my eye. ( I packed my Pixie machine for this trip and discovered the new machine whilst I was out looking for pods ).
They were demoing this machine at William Sonoma this past weekend. I tried the coffee from it...not too bad. It's 95 cents US per cup. Cheaper than Starbucks. It uses a bar code system to read the cup type and the machine determines the amount of water to use. Pretty neat!
