Nespresso coffee pods

curly from cork

Santa was very kind this year . However we have already run out of the pack of sample coffee pods , don't feel like going into the madness of BT so just wondering just anywhere else sell pods ?

Just see this from the main page, you'll discover the 'joy' of Nespresso is that the only places in Ireland that sell the capsules are BTs or the Nespresso website!

Nope. That's the hassle of nespresso. The joy of nespresso is waking up, reaching over, pushing a button, and having a grand little cup of espresso before farting and getting out of bed! Nespresso. Bedroom coffee. Oh yeah...

Interested in this also. Looks like Santa delivered a few if these. Luckily he included a big box of different type capsules with mine so ok for a while.

They were selling the machines upstairs in Debenhams the other day (in town), so they might have them?

I don't see the issue here. The OP seems to be from Cork... He just doesn't want to go to BT's... so just order online, it only takes 1-2 days for delivery. If you were that excited about the coffee, you'd just go to BT's.

In future you'll know well in advance of when you'll need more, so you'll be able to order it before you run out...

Ludo

Machines only in Debenhams... No capsules.
Yeah no big issue. Just would be handy if they sold somewhere other than the city centre. I will be ordering online well in advance anyway.

I don't drink coffee so not a problem for me.

Yer OP you're only other bet would be through the nespresso club, I generally find it easier to pop into BT when I'm in town but if that's not convenient then online through the nespresso club thing.

BT is the only spot in town where you can walk in and buy them.

Ebay is your friend , the trick with these machines is to plan ahead.

Thanks everyone , I have my answer BT only , get organised or be prepared to queue
Happy New Year to all

As far as I know the minimum order from the website is nearly 100 euro. My wife goes to BT's for me and get's about 40 euro's worth a go every 6 weeks or so.

Any capsules, I ever saw on Ebay were dearer than the official website.

It really is a pain in the hole that BT are the only place in ireland that you can walk in off the street and buy the capsules.

One sunday before christmas the wife went into BT's on grafton street....get a few capsules as she was in town.....holy fcuk.....at least a queue of 60 people.

What a joke - one retailer in the whole of ireland can sell them.

tinner777

forget ebay, the cheap ones are awful.
you have to order 50 capsules minimum from the site but they are always here in 3 days

British Telecom are getting into the coffee business now are they? I suppose they could throw down an ould plastic tube beside the fibre network they're laying in England and everyone can have piped coffee to their house on demand.

It's the same in every country... Where I'm living you can only get them in the nespresso shop... If you live in a big country like the States there may not be a shop that sells them for 1000 miles. In the UK they only have them in London and Manchester.

You have a telephone and the internet, so just order online or stop whinging like a child.

The principal of the product is that they limit the distribution in order to maintain close ties with their customers, they make that very clear in all of their marketing material. If you don't like it, you shouldn't have bought into the concept.

How is it whinging like a child?

You buy a coffee machine only to be told - oh you want to buy capsules for it...Yeah well there is one retail outlet in Ireland that stocks them...Yeah you might be in a queue of 40 people....order them online and wait for your postman instead...oh you are at work and can't collect your coffee....tough...have you tried instant?

Simple question....why is one retail outlet allowed to sell the coffee in the whole of Ireland?

Actually, it's two retail outlets... Brown Thomas Dublin and Brown Thomas Cork

BTW, they will deliver to your office if you like... Problem solved?

You don't want the wrong kind of people buying these, surely?

Brand slaves FTW... :rolleyes: I had a taste of one of these chez one of our hipster friends the other day and it confirmed for me that the hype is just that. My €20 stove-top cafetière blows Nespresso out of the water any day.

They use the same system in Ireland as they do all over the world. A limited number of physical stores but quick delivery from online or phone orders. It takes 2 days from placing your ordet to getting receipt and you need to order at least 50 capsules but thats it...

Tesco sell the capsules, I got the machine as well from santa

They are 4.99 I think it was for a box of 8. Also if your ever up the Country they are 3.49 is Asda!

You do know that with the nespresso machine that within 3 minutes of turning the power on you can hive a nice cup of espresso or Lugo coffee with no grinding, cleaning and mess ??

How long does it take you to make a shot of espresso (and clean up after) with your cafetière ?

Personally I find the coffee from the nespreso machines to be excellent. Oh I have drank better but it came from a high end high pressure espresso machine. I have one mat with a low cost setup can makes outstanding coffee but it takes him over 30 minutes to make a cup and he obsesses about his coffee, how he strores it, the type of grinder he uses, etc and even he bought a nespresso machine for his morning cup on the way to work...

Just order from the website, you can get 50 pods for 38 quid, and free delivery, simples.

No they don't sell nespresso capsules, which are the capsules discussed here. I don't believe they ever came in a box of 8 either.
They do however sell capsules for the Dolce Gusto, machine, which is not a nespresso.
What did Santa bring you ?
