Does this come with a sample of the Nespresso pods

Yes, it comes with the 16 pod Grand Cru set (3 are decaf). These are all the current types of coffee available from Nespresso, so it lets you decide which ones you want to order later.

Yep, sure does! Also make sure to order the pods from the company; they're a lot cheaper than what is being sold here on Amazon!

Yes, it comes with one of each of the Grand Cru blends. If you decide to purchase this machine, when it arrives you'll be all excited to try some. Stop. Don't hurry the tasting. Take the time to gather your wits about you. Take the time to grab a pen and paper. Make it an event when you try a blend for the first time. Your thoughts on that particular blend will stay with you longer, and when you go to place an order you'll have an easier time of it. For each sample, pay attention to the smell--as it comes from the machine and when it is in the cup. Pay attention to the crema--how thick it is, what color it is, how it tastes on the tip of your tongue and on the sides of your tongue and the whole "mouth-feel" experience. Then take a sip and savor. Do this when you've got some quiet time; not when the kids and dogs are running through the house or right before you're ready to head out on a mission. Write down your thoughts--even briefly: Yes, no, too strong, too tangy, etc. You'll find that after you've gone through eight or ten of the samples, you'll be glad you took the time to record your thoughts. You can research the 16 Grand Crus online, too. That also helps nail down what you like and don't like. It's a good thing to do while your waiting for your machine to arrive!

Hi Stephen, yes they come with a nice sampler pack of pods, including espresso and longo pods, and regular and decaf. Also comes with the cards and instructions for ordering more pods online which is really easy.

No you are only able to use the capsules made for the coffee maker. Nescaf has programs were you are able to get free coffee and tea! Also when or if you purchase the machine you can select free coffee. The customer service is outstanding! There are several different types to choose from I have had mine for a little less than a year and love it! Good luck!

yes, usually. I forget when I got mine if some came with it, but I order them 50-100 at a time so I never run out. some people make their own pods too for this, but I think they are reasonable priced on amazon and ebay.

It comes with a pack of pods (with different flavors).You have to purchase more pods seperately.

Yes, you can use any Nespresso-compatible pods. Apparently Nespresso's patent for their pods has expired so there are a lot of different brands on the market. So far I've liked the official Nespresso ones the most but they're also very expensive.

Yes, it comes with one pod of each of the 16 blends. The blends are described in one of the small pamphlets that come with the machine. Pay close attention to each blend as you sample it, taking into consideration the descriptions that Nespresso has provided. Arrange the pods in order of intensity. Get your nose down near the pour spout (stay safe) and notice the aroma. Take a look at the crema and taste it and feel it with your tongue. Watch how the layers separate. Take a sip and try to discern the flavors as described by the Coffee Masters at Nespresso. Make notes--after your second sample, as you will start to lose your thoughts on the first. I speak from experience: We bought our first Nespresso machine a few years ago (We got a CitiZ and love it still). Back then, Nespresso included a beautiful little paperback "book" that explained all the blends--where the beans came from, how to taste and feel the coffee, and explanations of terms/words used to describe the flavors. It is a wonderful book and I really don't understand why Nespresso doesn't include it with its machines anymore. Ours is dog-eared and I hope we never lose it, as it helped us immensely. We get it out whenever a new friend comes over and drinks coffee with us. Sampling coffee makes for a fun event. Maybe you could call Customer Service and request a book--maybe they still have them, I don't know.

No...you cannot use the little aluminum nespresso pods for which George Clooney is a spokesperson and which are so popular in Europe. You have to buy nescafe dolce gusto pods which are bigger, and plastic and come in about 20 different flavors.

no the machine does not currently come with this type of accessory. I am not familiar with whether or not Nespresso is planning on releasing this type of add on, or if they carry it separately.

Yes, when we purchased ours we were pleasantly surprised it came with a sampler of all the flavors.

No, you need to use the Nespresso capsules as the machine reads the bar codes on the capsules in order to brew the proper size cup. Also, the machine and the capsules are worth every penny. Best coffee i've had in quite some time.

This unit does not have a steamer; it only processes the cups T-pods, which have a upc code to ensure proper brewing. The latte pods come with pods of both the espresso & a dairy-based creamer.

No. Part of the difference between Keurig and Nespresso machines is that Nespresso tightly controls the quality of coffee to be used with its machines, so doesn't offer refillable capsules. If you live near a boutique, you can sample thier blends for free. The staff is very happy to help with that.

Yes a sample set of pods comes with the system (one of every flavor). I also recommend looking up HiLine Coffee for inexpensive pods that work with this system.

The nespresso comes with a small sampler pack. I don't remember how many, but I want to say 6-8

I'm not sure if they sell tea in pods. You can only use Nespresso brand pods.Look on their site.
