Starbucks Verismo

I don't care what other people do, but I personally can't stand any espresso machine using pods. Unless I'm grinding my own beans and adding the amount I want, no thanks.

I feel the same way however I have tried DBall's Nespresso and it is much better than you would think.


Greg, have you been using it much? How do you like it?

Tastes Just Like Starbucks To Me. I Don't Like The Powdered Milk Pods, So I Bought A Nespresso Frother From Williams Sonoma At My Son's Recommendation & The Lattes Are Great, Now!

That is a good idea, it was the dehydrated milk that I was most turned away from.

It appears that it is possible to use your own coffee if you buy a refillable pod. I saw a YouTube video where one guy did nothing more than packing the hell out of it and covering with foil.

You can use your own beans instead of pods but they say it doesn't work well. I tried a couple different ones with the Keurig (waste of beans) but never with nespresso.

I'll be trying out the 4th generation Emohome pods. I'd bet it all has to do with finding the right grind setting and packing consistency more than anything.

If the experiment fails, it's still cheaper than the wife hitting up Starbucks all the time.
