Nespresso, which stands for "Nestle Espresso", was actually one of the earlier machines to use coffee pods. The reason many people don't associate them is simply because Nestle did not call them as such, instead calling them capsules. However, being a type of single serve, single cup coffee pretty much makes them the same as coffee pods.
Candy People Make Coffee Machines?
K Cup Coffee Maker
To make both candy bars and pod coffee brewers seems like an odd business plan, which is why Nestle actually doesn't do this. The first Nespresso machines featured a recognizable brand name as well as the Nespresso name. Since 2000, though, Nespresso machines have done away with any name other than Nespresso. For the most part, all of their machines were actually manufactured by Eugster/Frismag, a company that only makes coffee makers for use and labeling by other companies.
Finding Nespresso Coffee Pods
In comparison to T-Discs, K-Cups, and normal coffee pods, Nespresso pods will not be found in any grocery store. In fact, to purchase them, you'll have to go through either Nespresso's own site, or a Nespresso Boutique. You read that correctly; these coffee pods actually have a chain of stores devoted to them. The brewers, on the other hand, are easily found in many retail stores.
How Do Nespresso Machines Work?
This pod coffee machine works a bit differently than normal pod coffee brewers. Upon insertion, the capsule is pierced, and then injected with hot water. As water pressure builds, holes open up in the weaker points of the aluminum, and the now brewed coffee escapes. The empty aluminum capsule is generally stored in a waste receptacle inside the machine for later removal.
The Downside To Nespresso Machines
There are some notable drawbacks to Nespresso coffee pods. First, the patent which is on the capsules makes it impossible for other companies to copy them, creating a closed market and forcing the customer to buy from Nestle. Then there's the fact that every cup of coffee made results in aluminum waste. Fortunately, at most places that you can buy Nespresso products, they will recycle the aluminum for you for free.
