I listed this deal because it's a good price, but I have to admit the more advanced Lavazza Classy Plus is a much better machine. It was also on sale for $107, but it is no longer. This Classy Mini would be good if space is a premium such as in a dorm, a cabin, or if you expect lighter more infrequent use. For example, if you don't drink coffee but have guests that do. Lavazza BLUE capsules are hermetically sealed and have an amazingly long shelf life. That said, If you're looking for your primary everyday coffee fix/solution, I would choose something else. That doesn't mean the BLUE system isn't good, it is the best capsule espresso out there, but there are far better options than using proprietary capsules.
As far as prices go, Lavazza BLUE and Expert prices have gone up, but not extraordinarily so. No more than any other brand, and even at 50¢ they are still cheaper than real Nespresso capsules. There are several sub 50¢ per capsule offers right now, additionally, I never buy unless they are on sale at around 40¢ per capsule. They still do go on sale all the time, you just have to watch for deals. Lastly, there "are" several third party capsule makers, Bristot, Delicitaly, Dongio Caffe (there used to be more, Kimbo was the best). The only problem is, they aren't very good, except for Bristot. Bristot is the best alternative I've found, but they're 60¢ each and I still prefer real Lavazza brand capsules overall.
