Makes me feel like there's a lot of waste and garbage from all the empty cartridge cups and you can't use your own choice of coffee.

I picked up a nespresso machine for xmas. This one to be exact.
We love it so far. Milk frother works great as well!
I've read that the patent on the nespresso runs out.. From wikipedia:
"Nespresso's patents will begin to expire in 2012 [9], eventually allowing competitors to offer capsules and machines compatible with the Nespresso system. Nestlé is working on ways to prevent competitors from doing this"
"Other competitors include a Swiss start-up (Nexpod.ch) which is offering Nespresso-compatible empty capsules which can be filled with the coffee (or tea) by the buyer and a South African company which sells Nespresso-compatible capsules under the brand name Café-Caps."
Also sara lee has started manufacturing capsules that fit nespresso machines...
Could be promising...
