Nespresso Capsules

[dayav07]

Hi.

I live in Durban. I know there are stores in Sandton and CT to buy capsules and also an online store. When I try to buy from them (off topcoffee.co.za) (5 flavours , 8 sleeves) they tell me there is a minimum order of 5 sleeves per flavour?! That's nonsense. Where do Durbanites buy capsules from then?

Any help appreciated

There is a Nespresso boutique store in Windermere Rd that sells the capsules.
Can't remember the address.

5 sleeves are not a lot, you'll use them up quickly.

Why not try out the intro offer first and see how it goes?

Haven't tried this place before.

Its a bit too much for me to fork out R900 at a time for coffee.

You can get compatible pods at Checkers. Also from a well known brand.

Caffeluxe pods work in the nespresso machines and you can get them at checkers and pnp.

Yup, just bought a few packs of caffeluxe capsules from checkers yesterday. Pack of 10 = R40.

Bought the fake crap off the ebuck site last year. Never again. Its weak and gets stuck. Dont do it

 

[Space_Chief]

La Vida Cafe pods also exist. Also made by Cafeluxe.

For the record, where in Sandton would you buy them?

There's a Nespresso shop in Sandton City.

the vida pods dont seem to fit my machine properly
cant close the handle down properly
not sure if its just me?

i had 4 misfires out of 10 caffeluxe pods on a nespresso U machine. R40 for 6 cups of coffee vs R53 to R57 for 10 cups. my advice is stick to the original nespresso pods.

 

[BrianStephan]

We have the Caffeluxe Verona machine would it work with these pods? http://www.topcoffee.co.za/ not sure if they would?

 

[Freaksta]

We haven't used original pods in our machine since we got it. Zero misfires etc!

Cannot believe people drink that 'canned' **** at that price. Get a proper old fashioned espresso pot and grind your own beans if you can. My cappucino at home is better than most jhb restuarants.

^^this. I have a krupps bur grinder and a few espresso pots. Pop it on the gas stove and happiness will follow.
I have a big old saeco espresso machine too but it always gets ditched in favour of the espresso pot.

Or an Aeropress.

I always used a Moka pot before I got my Nespresso machine, but I love the Nespresso system and their coffee - haven't used the moka pot since.

I just didnt enjoy the aeropress. Tried various different grinds but it wasnt quite up to scratch.
I should give it a go again though, need a decent cup of coffee at work sometimes.
