I've found them at Bed Bath and Beyond so far locally; however the Verismo pods are available at some Starbucks stores and Macy's. Coffee price is about the same as the competition.

Hello dear Aubrey,I think you cannot buy this item through amazon. This is probably more expensive then in a regular store because of the shipping costs, but i suggest you to see if it is cheaper buying more than 1, for example 50 or 100 capsules, it is more normal to people buy that.Always available to answer your questions

Thanks for the info, I'll give that brand a try next. Do report back how the pod maker goes, I read online about people just saying to use a standard filter and then trim the top and fold it over and wet it, I tried but in order to get a tight enough fold I couldn't use enough grounds to get a decent cup, and using enough grounds meant it wouldn't fit in the chamber right.

I use the Lavazza Gran Crema single dose pods (coffee inside a filter packet). $51.36 for 150 from Amazon. Cheaper if you subscribe.

Keep them in a zip lock bag. I have used them for two years. Some of the off brand pods that work for the nespresso machines come individually packed and are very good. Amazon sells those as well and they are far less expensive. They are made in Italy.

No, you have to buy their pods (and they're not the standard size that go into K-cup machines). So, make sure you look at the price of those pods and factor that into your decision. It turns out to be kind of pricey; on the other hand, the coffee is excellent.

I have no idea. I understand they cost $40. This is what I do:To make your own coffee pods without purchasing the pod maker for $40, purchase a 2"x2 1/2" Galvanized Hex Bushing at your local hardware store (2/1/2 x2 1/2 would work better but I couldn't find that). Place the pod on the top part with the lip and push in carefully so the edges of the pod are on the lip. Put the coffee in the pod. With a steam iron, steam over the pod for 5 seconds or so. Then put the top part of the pod over the bottom part with the coffee in it and iron to close it up.I was going to buy the PVC version of this but was told that it wouldn't hold up with the heat from the iron. The metal one cost me $6.85 - better than $40!! I have no idea. I understand they cost $40.

I was given the Dolce Gusto as a gift. I was delighted until I discovered that the pods are only sold online and that there are no other pods that will fit this machine. Bummer.

Ours machine came with 10 or so pods of assorted types of coffee. We additionally bought 3 roll your own pods so we could use our own coffee. We suspect that the grind for the nespresso pods is much finer that we can grind with our machine and so our espresso isn't as rich and creamy as with the store bought pods. The problem with the store bought pods is they are expensive. We typically drink two cups each in the AM and one cup in the afternoon so we would need 6 pods per day which would cost $6 per day. That is over our budget. Plus you can't just buy the pods everywhere. You must order them on-line or find a store which sells the machines which is difficult to locate.

Thank you for the info, so far I've decided on Wolfgang Puck Coffee, Chef's Reserve, Medium Roast, 18-Count Pods (Pack of 3) . My machine is still going strong (used 1-3x per day) hopefully you can get yours replaced under warranty!

To follow-up on my December 26 post, I just heard back from Morphy Richards via email. They write, "There is not a pod filter listed for this model and therefore I regret we are unable to assist you further in this instance." I'm disappointed to confirm that this machine is NOT e.s.e. pod compatible, both from Morphy Richards and personal experience. I will have to stick with the ground espresso beans and give away the tons of pods that I already purchased.

Don't buy from these people on Amazon. Please sign up and purchase through Young Living. This is why the rest of us are limited on what we can buy because people purchase large amounts and make a profit. Go to the source.

Yes, all of my sources are popping up with "out of stock" messages. I'm crushed because it's my favorite. I love the machine and their pods and will hate to see them phased out. Other single serve machines were not as substantial or overly complicated.

Either you buy a good grinder and make your own espresso with whole beans or you buy already ground espresso. I don't think you can use pods. Go to Krups website and look at their specs for the model you want along with user videos on YouTube.

P. Mucciarone:Do you have a Smart N' Final nearby? That's where we used to buy ours - they may still carry them. I've also seen them at my local Target recently. On Target.com you can buy them by the casepack (108 pods for regular, 96 pods for flavored) for around $32.00 (free shipping after $50.00).

In response to S.R. Bowen so sad for you to say never w/out ever trying somethin,,,,, thats okay only one to miss out are the people with that attitude. I did originally think proprietary might be a bad thing, but because it is the most consistant product produced, it is well worth only purchasing pods from one source. After we tried it I thought the propriety thing is a way for the company to maintain the high quality and standards that could get diluted and short-cutted by' having other companies involved... NEVER is a long time...... good luck
