I haven't paid attention to the cost of the Nespresso pods. I know you can buy off brand pods in the grocery stores here in the UK which should be cheaper. The downside of Tassimo is the bar code system that tells the machine what to produce is proprietary so no other pod manfacturers are able to sell generic Tassimo pods.
