Update: I listed this deal because it's a good price, but they put the more advanced Lavazza Classy Plus back on sale https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J8J3S4Y It is a much better machine. It has a bigger water tank, the used capsule drawer is bigger so you don't have to dump it as often as with the Mini, and it can froth milk and make a latte, cappuccino, or machiatto with it's frother cup. It's only $107 with Subscribe & Save. Yes, it's weird that they have the machine on Subscribe & Save, but just do it, then cancel the subscription when you receive the machine.
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.
Lavazza BLUE/Expert is the best capsule espresso system out there, but there are far better options than using any proprietary capsules if you drink a lot of coffee. Not to mention nothing beats fresh ground.
