If you commit to buying $120 worth of capsules ($1/capsule) every 3 months, you'll get a Lavazza capsule machine to hire for free. No contract…looks like if you stop buying capsules, you just send back the machine.

With a normal machine, a coffee with milk would probably cost around 80c (40c coffee and 40c milk). With this pod machine, a coffee with milk would cost about $1.40 ($1 pod coffee and 40c milk).

Looks like a pretty good deal if you drink a coffee a day and couldn't be fussed using a manual machine plus you don't want the outlay cost of a new machine. However, given that each coffee cost 60c more, after a few years you would have probably spent enough to buy a new machine initially.

    $12 shipping if you order under $150 a month … so really its $132 or $150 minimum.

      I already added the shipping in…it's $108 + $12 shipping = $120.

    Nothing special here… this was the standard offer 4 years ago, we had a 100 coffee free trial (20 person office), and decided to send it back as we were looking at 200+ coffees per week. We purchased a $4,000 Zura fully automatic machine, and go through about 1-2kg of coffee a week (about 125 coffee per KG @ $30/kg for good premium coffee beans). So in our case for the $4k outlay, we are saving about $150/week.
    For small/home users I think pod coffee is great, I use a nespresso at home, that you can buy for $300 and the pods average about 70c each incl delivery. No mess, no fuss.

      Yeah, thought I'd post it anyway.

      If a Nespresso costs $300 and the pods 70c, this offer is 30c extra per coffee so to reach the $300 outlay, you'll need to get through 1000 coffees before breaking even.

        Which at 120 coffees every 3 months, would take a little less than 3 years. More importantly though, you aren't forced to pay for the 120 coffees every three months, and you actually own your own coffee machine at the end of it.

        It is a good deal if you have the volume (would be good in an office / shared environment) but even if it is cheaper per coffee, it could end up more expensive if you aren't intending to drink all that coffee!

    We have one of these in the office. Coffee is not that great even in comparison to Nespresso. Could be the 2 flavour of pods the company gets. Then again nespresso is not that great as well.

    If you're a coffee lover buy a ginder and beans you like. Nothing beats freshly ground coffee.

    I have just got a nespresso machine, I am really enjoying the coffee pods. Coffee is very nice. Replaced a more expensive machine. This deal is probably a bit much for the average house though.
