Hi All
Iv asked this question in the food & drink section but only got 1 kind response but need more information please. I bought Mr Rosie a Nespresso for xmas. Can i onoy use the Nespresso pods in it or could I use other pods by a different make i.e. Dolce by Nescafe. They all look the same. The Nesspresso Pods are not readily available in my supermarket and have to get them from Amazon.

You need to be very certain that any other pods are actually properly compatible - or they won't fit/work.
Tesco sell these :

Others are undoubtedly available - try googling "nespresso compatible".

Manufacturers just hate it when other organisations produce supplies that fit their devices, but unless that have a patent on some novel aspect of the process there is little they can do about it. So it's the same with coffee machines, vacuum bags, printer cartridges.
Original manufacturers make a lot of followup income from the on going supplies, often more than on the original sale.
Provided the cartridge seems the same physically, then there is no harm in experimenting; of course the quality of the coffee is a variable too.

Hi Rosie
We have a Nespresso machine and have tried a few "compatible" pods - some fit some don't. We tried Tesco's own, they fitted ok but the taste left a lot to be desired. There are also some other pods available on line, just google compatible pods - we also tried one brand, again the taste was pretty poor. We now only use Nespresso bought direct. A bit pricey at 30p a pod, but what do you pay for a decent cup of coffee say in Caffe Nero - £2.50 or thereabouts.

Morning all
I went to Sainsburys yesterday and purchased Dualit NX and Carte Noire. The whole lot cost me less than £8 for 30 pods. Mr Rosie seemed to like them and they fit perfect. I will continue to purchase the real Nespresso Pods but these others are good as a standby.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time out to help. Happy New Year xx
