This is my problem with this, from the site:

"It's also good to note you can only use Nespresso coffee capsules
with the Nespresso C100T Essenza. This is by design, and you'll also
need to sign up for the Nespresso club to do you ordering or stop by a
Nespresso boutique to get some new ones."

So, you buy the expensive machine and instead of buying coffee
anywhere, you join their club, buy at thier price.

Then, what happens when the upgrade is not compatable with your
existing opporating system, your razor with disposable heads is last
years model, no-one makes Beta videotapes?

Landfill the whole thing and write another check to start again?

People have been drinking coffee in various forms for a very long
time. You don't need this.
