Nespresso Alternative

As a 8+ year Nespresso owner I'm excited to finally find an alternative source for the proprietary espresso capsules. Highline Coffee now offers Nespresso-compatible capsules filled with nearly a dozen different flavors.

The Highline capsules are notably cheaper than Nespresso - .50 cents per shot vs .65 or .70 for Nespresso depending on the flavor. Highline also offers free shipping on orders over 15 sticks making the total cost advantage much greater.

I ordered a small variety of their stronger flavors (and a couple of decafs for Kathy) this morning and hope that in addition to the cost savings the coffee will be fresher that the Nespresso capsules that are made in and shipped from Switzerland.
