It appears that it is possible to use your own coffee if you buy a refillable pod. I saw a YouTube video where one guy did nothing more than packing the hell out of it and covering with foil.

You can use your own beans instead of pods but they say it doesn't work well. I tried a couple different ones with the Keurig (waste of beans) but never with nespresso.

I'll be trying out the 4th generation Emohome pods. I'd bet it all has to do with finding the right grind setting and packing consistency more than anything.

If the experiment fails, it's still cheaper than the wife hitting up Starbucks all the time.
