Choice consumer advocate Jonathan Brown told Today Nespresso's range of pod machines come out on top, with the Vertuo taking charge.
"(That's) the fancy version," Mr Brown explained, before revealing his trick to save money.
"What we find is Nespresso is pretty expensive but our great find from the blind tests it these Woolworths pods, much cheaper and taste just as good.
"Our experts really couldn't tell much difference between Nespresso and the Woolies ones."
Choice said there are also recycling programs for pods, to make them more environmentally-friendly. Today
Mr Brown said the Woolworths pods won't work in the Vertuo model but will in most other Nespresso machines.
Budget chains Kmart and Aldi also make great machines he said.
"The great thing there's lots of variations in the machines from Aldi and Kmart lots of different cap actual machines that give you a good cuppa," Mr Brown said.
"If you're feeling up to it the manual machine from Kmart which only costs $90 beat a $950 machine."
