There's nothing wrong with Nespresso as such but they never really give any incentive to buy from them. They often offer money off new machines but who needs anew machine when there's nothing wrong with the one they have? They should offer a free pack here and there. The only thing I got free from them was a box of chocolates for answering a survey on the phone but I did have to remind them about it.
£20 isn't bad for the machine, and we didn't already have a proper machine so thought that was well worth it.
I'll tell t'wife.

We had a look in the Sainsbury's there and I'm afraid they don't have it. Still, we'll keep looking.

These machines offer great convenience at the expense of the quality and choice of the most important thing . . . the coffee itself.
I can't imagine British people would be happy to have their choice of tea brutally restricted. They are used to buying whatever brand they want, tea bags or tea leaves from cheap crap right up to Japanese Sensha.
So why would you restrict your coffee choices. Pod coffee is largely crap, you know it has to be because of the business model. You have no idea when that coffee was roasted, how it was processed, how old it really is. You're trading convenience for quality of coffee. It's a losing proposition.
If you are remotely interested in coffee then you buy coffee beans and grind them yourself fresh. You buy coffee beans carefully, check the "Roasted on" date to know hold old they are and you select/create your favourite blends, Kenyan, Costa Rican, Colombian etc etc
Real coffee drinkers, if they used a pod machine, would buy reusable empty pods and the gadgetry associated and make up their own pods with really good coffee that they have ground themselves from beans.
Problem is, doing this negates all of the benefit of convenience that pod machines offer. You may as well spend more and buy a proper coffee machine.
