You can buy cheaper Nespresso alternative capsules in the UK, at just 20p per pod from Amazon.
If you buy the Gourmesso Flavour Bundle x 120, it costs £24.99 with free delivery and works out to be 20.8p per pod.
This is about 35% cheaper than official Nespresso pods - sometimes a bigger discount depending on where you buy it.
The Gourmesso pods work with Nespresso and you're not doing anything wrong by using them.
As reported in The Telegraph, in 2014 a French Court ruled that Nespresso had to allow other brands to make compatible coffee pods. The brand has complied not just in France, but globally.
Some other alternatives include:
- Bellarom Espresso, Lidl
- CafePod, Tesco, Waitrose
- Carte Noire
The Bellarom from Lidl has good reviews, and I think costs about 20p per pod as well. The others are slightly more expensive, averaging about 27p per pod.
If you drink Nespresso every day, you may as well save some money with alternative capsules. It's good that you're saving rather than going to Starbucks or Costa each morning, but push the money saving further!
Make sure you buy in bulk, otherwise you end up spending more over the long run. It took me a lot of back and forth and deliberating before I finally took the plunge with the Nespresso alternatives, but it was worth it when I did.
I got them delivered to work, it's 12 boxes (10 capsules in each).
