The £18 a month deal isn't bad. For £228 you get a machine worth £89 and then £216 worth of coffee. And you do keep the machine after 12 months with nothing further to pay.

I suspect they're doing this deal as you can now get pretty decent nespresso compatible capsules in shops.

We've got a Nespresso machine, got it about 7 years ago and it's the one 'labour saving device' that we still use every day.
