For anyone who doesn't already own a Nespresso machine and is looking to pick one up: there's currently a promo running for $75 in free capsule credit when you buy any machine for $199 and up direct from Nestle in the US.

As far as the Vertuo goes, I'm not a huge fan. I saw one last week at Sur la Table, and while it was a slick contraption, I like the variety of capsules available for the old system as well as the flexibility to use third-party capsules.
