Why not get a normal espresso machine or automatic coffee machine? Why would you ever want to coffee pods?
Using a drip coffee machine usually means making way more coffee than I'll drink, even though I'd love to own a machine named Mr. Coffee.
Coffee pods are expensive, wasteful, and not even that tasty...

If someone is price sensitive then small drip machine, stove moka pot or aeoropress would be cheaper.
I thin only legitimate case for coffee pods is when you are not drinking coffee but want to serve to guests.
They'll probably want to grind their own beans as well, and while the results are far far tastier, it's also a whole ceremony with finicky adjustements. There's that weird pressure telling to not be lazy and settle on worse pre-grind stuff, but thing is people are actually lazy so it becomes a friction point.
A fully automated machine solves that issue, but then they're huge, expensive, you're stuck with one variety of coffee at a time and any part that breaks means you repair the whole thing.
For other people in the household.
