The recommended retail price (RRP) is S$398 but thanks to a friend who is working in Nestle, I managed to get it at staff price! The machine is Made in Switzerland (NOT China) and I like how they have a handle together with the box for you to carry it easily! The box includes 16 capsules. You can shop for more capsules over at their online store, [Club Nespresso](https://nesclub.nespresso.com/), or using their [Nespresso iPhone App](http://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/nespresso/id342879434?mt=8). There are 3 prices for their capsules. Prices below are for each capsule: - Pure Origin – S$1.07 - The Espresso range – S$0.91 - The Lungo range – S$0.99 ![Capsules Pricing](https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6195/6138651228_ee741d1657_z.jpg) You need to buy a minimum of 50 capsules in total each time you purchase for packaging reasons (you can mix and match). For orders above 150 capsules, delivery is free within 2 business days and for orders below that, the delivery charge is S$10. ![Box](https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6205/6127069261_aaf05b98c8_z.jpg) ![Box Contents](https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6202/6127070941_0a65d9dcbd_z.jpg) ![The Machine](https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6208/6127624612_a3c52d4d01_z.jpg) ![The Coffee](https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6185/6130245848_399b184b45_z.jpg) I am a coffee person but I am not that well versed with coffee, for me the taste is pretty similar to what you get in Starbucks but for just 1/5 of the price.
