B&H have some savings for HDDs, among other things. As a generalization, seem to apply a coupon that ends up matching Amazons prices.

 

 

Except $35 in shipping and $20 in taxes on a NVME HDD make it stupidly more expensive.

OTOH theirs (and Amazons) actual HDDs (12TB WD) for example are about $250 cheaper than anything you'll get here.

Seriously going off the concept of these, in terms of waste produced.
They do however have a better recycling option than the Nestle Dolce Gusto range.

Likewise - Used them when in a Hotel/Rented apartment and quite liked the coffee - The amount of plastic the pods consume is a real turn off.

 

They do have 'some' recycling facilities for these in some parts of the planet - but really? How much goes straight into the dump? 99% I would guess.

 

Very environmentally unfriendly....

There are third party refillable pods available, like this (I haven't used them, just as an example)
https://www.coffeelovers.co.nz/products/nespresso-stainless-steel-refillable-coffee-capsule-coffee-tamper-reusable-coffee-pod

Also after the initial cost the coffee is 1/4 the price from memory.

plus one for this idea.

 

did the same with my nespresso a few years back and just used a reusable pod set I got from overseas. Not quite the same taste but good enough for my use

We spent at at least 50 p/m on coffee so it was a no brainier for me to have a machine in my garage to go with homebrew bar.

This is off topic, apologies to those getting the notifications :)
