Well, few weeks ago we bought a nespresso machine to my office and right now we regret a bit. We discovered a negative impact on the natural environment cause by the nespresso system. These capsules are not easy to recyclable and moreover, they are packed while using relatively a lot of paper. At least my office mates agreed that we will collect used capsules and deliver…

On the other hand around I think I will never buy such a machine for myself. A moka pot is more flexible -- you can use any coffee you want and !coffee taste is just great.

@copyme @mbjunior You can also hack them! There are "refillable containers" from third party producers. You'll need to hack it though (cut out the rfid chip from an original container and stick it on the refillable cup).
But yeah, these machines are extremely bad for the environment as well for society as a whole since they use Digital Restrictions Management.

@mmn @cyberkiller Thanks guys for hints. These refillable containers sounds great! I think my office mates will kill me but I am going to buy one and stop shearing expenses of new capsules with them. Vive la liberté! ;) /cc @mbjunior

@mbjunior Video description on how to hack the "Keurig 2.0" (probably not the same machine as you have though, but I guess it's the same principle) by some random otherwise-not-a-hacker person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idviALOvAYY
No further DRM discussion in the video though, except that the consumer was disappointed with Keurig.
