I bought this machine (Espressotoria, Adesso)
We got this on Super special from Mrs BCB's work with 6 pakets of pods for $50.
I have seen them at Coles for $99.
Pckt of 12 pods range from about $4:50 to $9
I have tasted coffee from a $3000 machine that ground the beans and heated the milk that my niece had.
And my last workplace had a $2000 pod machine.
This little baby puts them to shame.
And to clean it you just run a shot of water without a pod, so simple.
We've had it for about 3 years and it does at least 2 shots a day

yeah, nah mate.

 

Mrs BCB works at Peppers Palm Cove.

They purchased 200 odd, also same for the Port Douglas resort, but there are 26 Peppers resorts in Australia/New Zealand and Bali.

So it's possible that Peppers bought over 2500 machines

We did stay at Peppers Clearwater resort in Christchurch New Zealand recently, they had the same coffee machines. 

The staff got a purchase code to buy off the Espressotoria website, basically got the coffee machine for free if you take into account the price of the pods

They all pretty much give you free machines if it ties you into their pods

 

Sort of like the cheap printers you can buy - stuck buying the liquid gold in their proprietary units.

 

They can only sell a coffee machine/printer once, but if they can hook you into their ink/pods they have you for life, long after the value of the machine has been eclipsed
