What revolution?

Capsules are wasteful and expensive and you have no idea what's in them.

No capsules for my home use thank you.

I considered getting a fancy expresso machine that grinds the coffee for you in place at the press of a button, but I decided against it because I'm likely to overdose on coffee with one.

Filter coffee is good enough for me thank you.

Pretty much everyone and his mother in Europe has a capsule coffee machine.

P.S.: I won't comment about the filter coffee remark as it's clearly bait ;)))

Nope. Even from my coffee snob friends, only one has had a capsule machine and abandoned it anyway. And he's the kind that owns 3 different french presses to start with.

Is that in Europe? I mean, I don't know anyone that does filter coffee in Europe to be honest. Not trying to be snobby, it's just different habits I guess (e.g. a watery black coffee is known as "Americano" in most places in Europe I've been)

Per pound of coffee Nespresso is indeed very expensive (when measured against the volume of ground whole bean needed for a cup)
