For New users (people who placed 2 or less orders), you should use ESPRESSOGIFT , you get 10 free original pods, a set of two coasters, and free cups
Keep in mind those are small espresso cups, if you want bigger cups you can use code COFFEEGIFT for the vertuo welcome bundle, but that includes 10 free vertuo pods that you cant use unless you have a vertuo machine.

If you like espresso, or espresso-based drink, the Nespresso Original system is worth to take a look at. Their other system called "Vertuo" uses centripetal to extract the coffee by spinning the pods at a pre-determined speed, amount of water and time embedded in the barcode printed at the rim of each pod. The brewer can read and brew accordingly.
Of course none of these 3 systems (Keurig, Nespresso Original, Nespresso Vertuo) are compatible with each other.

Also there are some non-Nespresso branded machines that do multiple such as the Instant Pod (Classic "Original" Nespresso Pods + K-cups) and a few others. I haven't seen a hybrid for the Vertuo most likely due to the scanning + centrifugal approach.

I would say if you're an avid espresso drinker, nothing beats grinding your own fresh beans, tamping, and using an espresso machine.
Same on the other end where you can grind & brew your coffee to 'perfection'.
That being said whether it is a K-cup or Nespresso machine, they offer convenience and consistency (and variety) but maybe not the best cup of espresso / coffee.
