NYC allows you to put nespresso pods in the regular metal recycling. [ Reply | More

I do! It's super easy. They actually give you a free recycling bag when you order the pods online, and shipping is pre-paid. [ Reply | More

I admit I used to like the old school Nespresso machines (but DISLIKE the newer models that use the larger cartridges). But I have been rethinking about being wasteful. It's just a massive amount of garbage, and the energy required to delivering your cup of coffee is a terrible waste of resources even if you recycle the pods. So wasteful, so useless, I view them as a modern convenience for people who can't think properly. Now I have grown to hate them. Get a Breville instead. Nobody recycles the pods and they are a landfill disaster. You shouldn't have to fill up a waste facility in order to enjoy a cup of coffee. [ Reply | More

OP: I agree, I think those pods are wasteful. I am looking at something more involved than just pressing the button, like Breville [ Reply | More

Also, got the nespresso off neighborhood list for $30. They still make the original size, you don't have to get the big pods. [ Reply | More

I have a Breville Barista and really like it. My previous one had an automatic grinder which was a huge convenience, but led to espresso overdosing. [ Reply | More

Yes, I occasionally make cappuccinos, but not quite often. they come out just as good as the coffee shop or the previous machine (it's been so long I don't remember the brand, but it cost about $1,300 15 years ago). Overall very happy with it. [ Reply | More

I just bought a Delonghi Dedica and like it. I looked at the Breville Barista but it takes up so much counter space. [ Reply | More
