Limited editions

Limited editions? Seriously? Can we please just remove all the marketing crap? What exactly does this add to the encyclopedic value of this article? Kendall-K1 (talk) 03:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

It would help, if it would be stated, what the limit actually means. "Limited to only 10.000.000 pods or so." :-) Peterthewall (talk) 10:11, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

I believe limited editions are of interest in this kind of product. There is encyclopedic value for repeat buyers and collectors. Until a year ago there was such a list in this article. Since then I have been maintaining it here. If there are more people, like me, that find this interesting, please include this link in the article as a reference.

Prices as of 2013 and price development

It seems to be that the capsule prices increased lot from any prices mentioned in this article (from 2010 and 2011). I presume that has to do with the recent binding of the Swiss Franc to the Euro and not sure how the $ vs. € did in these 3 years.

In the article is a capsule for USD 0.43 to USD 0.62 etc. It seems to be more around 1.00$ in 2013 (if asked Google or Ebay)! I think this makes a serious difference for any readers from the US. Could somebody get the real numbers from a US based shop? (And maybe in £ and € as well? Seems to be 36-42 €-Cents as of June 2013 in Europe.)

Maybe even a table of purchase price development? This is plain information for the reader. The article mentions 0.43 - 0.62$ in 2010, 0.57-0.64$ in 2011, 2013 around 1.00$. A doubling in effective price is an objective piece of information that should be available imO. Peterthewall (talk) 10:35, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

The cheapest capsules on amazon.com are more than a $1 each. Why is the "US$0.57 to US$0.64 each" lie allowed? The citation link to https://nesclub.nespresso.com/shop/capsules/ is broken. That page is a link to a login page. There are no prices listed on that page.

The capsules are nearly impossible to find, and as the person above noted, they cost a hell of a lot more than Wikipedia claims. The page should be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.178.109.243 (talk) 23:18, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

The broken link mentioned above has been fixed. I also put current pricing and standard shipping cost information into the article, including a mention of prices on eBay. Lou Sander (talk) 23:47, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Nespresso Page Updates

Hello, my name is Alex and I work for Nespresso. I'm new to the Wikipedia community and would like to suggest a series of edits to (1) ensure information is up to date and factual and (2) include new valid, third-party references for topics on this page. I've also noticed that the lead article has been flagged for not summarising the key points, so I would love to take some time to complete this and ensure it meets Wikipedia standards.

In the coming months, I will post edits here on the Talk page for consideration and input.

To start, I propose to update the page overview and the infobox with the most up to date information starting with the latest logo, as I know that this is missing from the current edit.

Many Thanks,

History and Patents

The history section starts out with a statement that the first Nespresso system was built and patented in 1976, with expansion throughout the 1980s. Later, it says that the "first patent application for Nespresso's process" was filed in 1996. On the surface, these two statements seem contradictory. Maybe some clarification is needed. Perhaps the 1976 patent covered a machine which embodied a different brewing method, and the 1996 patent rendered that 1976 method obsolete? Or maybe the dates given cover patent applications in different jurisdictions? Maybe there's a subtle difference between the earlier patent covering one particular machine's embodiment of the brewing method, versus the later patent covering all conceivable embodiments of the same method? Or maybe it's just that one of the two statements was unintentionally false.

Can anyone offer any clarification on this topic? 24.222.2.222 (talk) 13:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Cocaine Smuggling under Business Model - funny, but really?

I guess congratulations to whoever did that - it's very funny. But should we maybe move it to a separate section? (Unless someone has a source saying smuggling drugs is part of Nestle's business model?) The80srobot (talk) 11:56, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
