Yeah I come from a house using mokas and the Nespresso in comparison is much more idiot-proof: nothing to spill, (almost) nothing to clean, nothing to get burnt with, and the result is extremely consistent. Mokas and traditional espresso machines are much more temperamental, the latter don't even make decent cups until everything is warmed up properly - which is why bars literally throw away the first half-dozen coffees every day.

I get the environmental critique, and the Nespresso system is definitely more expensive, lock-in, etc etc, but DAMN it's so convenient and good enough for the everyday workload of a single or couple.
