Ironically, the Starbucks Espresso Vertuo Pods work well:

I typically order a "flat white" at Starbucks, and am able to recreate it pretty much exactly with these two devices and the vertuo pods.
There are likely better, fresher type options out there. This is just my experience. I don't buy starbucks that regularly, so I'm not sure how much "savings" I'm really getting here but it's easy.
I think I want one that does both k-cup and nespresso.

2 espresso shots in a cup at Starbucks cost me $2.95, basically $3.
For example, let's say you buy foo-foo espresso beans, whole-bean for $15 for a 3/4lb bag.
That bag will provide about 24 single shots at .62 cents each. A double-shot will then cost you $1.24...a savings of $1.76 for each order.
At Costco, you can buy this Philips machine for $400 (https://www.costco.com/philips-80...1076.html) or a Breville Barista for around $670 on sale. The Breville will make better espresso but if you're punishing the espresso with milk and flavorings it won't matter. Actually, since you're buying Starbucks espresso...well, it's not so great anyway.
Your payback, assuming you make a double-shot every day is 228 days (8mos) for the Philips machine and 382 days (13mos) for the Breville. Every day after that you're putting money back in your pocket and with a little care these machines will last years. Of course, there's a time-swap involved but net/net I come out ahead making mine at home.
Now, let's assume you DO punish your espresso with milk and flavoring, well, in my world the retail price at a local coffee shop will jump to almost $5 per order. In that case, the cost of actually making your own will only increase to a whopping $2, but your savings will increase to $3 each time you make your drink at home. So, your payback on these machines will be even quicker, 4.4mos and 7.4mos respectively. Again, once you cross these dates you're putting money back in your pocket every day.
I would start with either of these machines. If you start with the Breville, I'd also suggest that after you reach the payback period, begin saving for a real grinder and use that instead of the built-in grinder on the Breville. Espresso is really dependent upon the quality of the grinder and less so the espresso machine. A reasonably good grinder can start with something like a Eureka Notte or Facile.These grinders can last for decades and have easily replaceable components which means you can then spend money on a standalone espresso machine (ie. no built-in grinder) with fewer parts to give you problems down the road.
I used my own cup the last couple times and did not received 25 stars.

You're not supposed to think, you're supposed to just do. As humans, we all find ourselves simply doing, without thinking, at many points in our lives. Marketers thrive in these areas.
While I believe in the the right to unionize. I don't believe in asking someone to represent my best interests and prefer to do that myself. But you are certainly entitled to your position.

What about this one. Seems super popular and I'm sure the price helps.
I'm looking to upgrade from K-cups
