The only problem with Nespresso is the cost of the pods... in Australia anyway (I'm not sure what the pods cost in the USA).
Here, the absolute best of the best bean costs $44 per kg. The Nespresso pods work out to between $120-$150kg, going off the cost of a sleeve of 10 pods, and allowing 5g of coffee in each pod (which is the official net weight of the contents).
With 5g of coffee per pod, anything longer than a ristretto is going to be bitter.. simply because its "underdosing". In a manual type setup, an underdose provides watery bitter coffee. The watery coffee doesn't occur with Nespresso, because the machines are designed to agitate the liquid in a way which creates artificial crema.. not the real crema you get from fresh roast fresh ground coffee.
