The thing I found with Nespresso (used to have them at work) is that the machines are pretty low quality, don't produce consistent steam and occasionally explode the capsules (rarely, maybe 1 in every 150 caps). The level of non-degradable waste involved is terrifying too (even in a small 8 person office).
I also hated being limited to whatever blends they were kicking out - mostly over-roasted Italian style beans. Choosing what you wanted seemed to be a case of 'how black do you want it'. I'm not sure if they do now, but 3 years ago there were certainly no single origin capsules to choose from.
I also am opposed to giving Nestle any money at all.
They do make pretty reasonable, mess-free coffee though.
