While the bean choice is another matter - you can't get many flavours of nespresso, as compared to what you can in general bean purchases, because of this expensive and centralized vacuum grind and seal process.
So while, in my mind, the freshness of the beans is unparalleled, equaling home roasted and ground immediate brews

Those beans were sitting around before they got vacuumed up. Otherwise, the gases that freshly roasted beans give off would blow up the bag.
I don't care how much their process costs, it is nowhere near as fresh as buying beans from a quality roaster and grinding them yourself.
