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.
