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...

Nice! That's my only 'issue' with nespresso - the patented pods.
