You can actually buy reusable capsules which can be filled with the coffee of your choosing.

And you loose all the convenience of using capsules. They are dirty and difficult to refill, also the quality of the resulting coffee cup is horrible compared to nespresso capsules. A regular italian expresso machine is a better option: awesome quality, you can choose the coffee brand and it is easier to refill than a reusable capsule.

It is not that I think that are hard to refill, it is that I actually tried to refill them. Horrible experience. Also, even using a good coffee brand, the result is not optimal.
