I don't get it with these coffee machines that only take pods, surely it works out more expensive, in comparison to a proper Espresso machine that uses cheap to buy ground coffee.
Just done a quick Google and it seems that a cup of coffee works out at around 23p using the Pod's so I guess folk use them just for the convienence factor, each Pod seems to contain about 6gm of ground coffee, also the machines do look quite small compared to a regular Espresso machine, which maybe is another plus point.
There is plenty on YouTube, with folk refilling the Pods which to me seems more of a faff than using a regular Espresso machine.
I buy packs of Lavazza Qualita Rossa 250g at £2.50 a pop, and that will do for at least 50 cups of coffee shop tasting coffee at 5p per cup, 50 cups using Pod's would work out at almost £12!

Because not everyone buys everything based on ultimate cost! Paying for convenience is common in so many things in life
Plus having a wide variety of drinks including teas and chocolates adds to its appeal for many.
A number of shops currently have a good few varieties of the Tassimo coffees at £3 currently so worth stocking up (18.75p per drink for those who worry about the cost!)
