Refillable Pods compatible with Nespresso (Original line) Starterkit [2 reusable capsules + 100 lids + 1 pod sealer + 1 spoon]

I found this easy to use and probably makes great coffee. I say probably, because the Jamaican Mountain Blue I brought back from there was pressed in the pod and made weak coffee at best. The same original pod from Nespresso with their version of the same coffee is amazing. I presume this was partially my error in that the grain size is likely larger than the fine ground dust that makes a wonderful crema in the Nespresso version. Honestly, if I have my own coffee that I can get in a really, really fine grind and have more than a few of these and maybe different colors to help with different coffees, that would be totally awesome

I ordered these since I have moved to an area where there are no Nespresso stores to return the used pods. Using an espresso grind is a must. The pods work fine but I can't say the resulting espresso tastes as good as the Nespresso. Not terrible, but I guess I'm just picky after using my Nespresso with the pods for a couple of years.

I am really thrilled with this little kit. I hated throwing away plastic pods (and the expense associated with them). I've learned over time just how hard to tamp down the coffee to get it the right strength. I use La Llave coffee, which is super good and super cheap so now my morning latte is pennies a day, rather than dollars. Amazing. It might take a little practice but once you get the technique down you can make the next pod while the first one is "brewing." Glad I made the investment.

These work with the DeLonghi Essenza Mini, which other refillable capsules don't (found out the hard way 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️). These are easy to fill, easy to clean, covers are recyclable, and the capping tool seals them tightly without all the sticky stuff. JUST DON'T OVERFILL!! Pressing the grounds in firmly is fine, if you try to pack it in like a vacuum-packed cube in the grocery aisle, the water can't flow through as well, and the results will be dissapointing. We use these with Trader Joe's Shade Grown Espresso--fantastic!!

Highlights:- Pods mostly seem to work, but my machine expels a bunch of clean water after each use. That doesn't happen with the normal pods.- Flavor is not as intense, even trying coffee grinds multiple ways. It tastes watered down. I don't have the same craving for Nespresso when I make my own pods. I don't like that disappointment.- Making the pods isn't a perfectly tidy process. You will get grinds dispersed in your work area.- Cleaning the pods after use isn't great. Imagine taking a normal pod, prying off seal and dumping the grinds, all while liquid is dripping from it. Messy and annoying.Overall, I like not wasting so many pods, but the amount of effort to make and clean each pod for a water-down flavor isn't worth it for me. Maybe there are folks who've had better experiences. As for me, I'll reluctantly keep using it until I use up all the foil.

Avoid it cause it is a complete fail with the nespresso machine....I feel like I spent a lifetime watching YouTube videos and reading blogs trying to make this thing work but to no avail. It shouldn't be this hard and I'm that type of person that will try and prove myself wrong but this thing got the better of me and I had to return it so save yourself the frustration and get pour over or actual pods

I used the coffee recommended by the vendor. I didn’t fill the cup past the top. Very easy to use and the crema is perfect and delicious. Very easy to clean too.

When they say it has a learning curve they mean it! You have to dial in grind size, AND coffee bean Flavor/Roast/Origins. This takes effort, you can NOT just grab a random coffee at your supermarket hope it's the right grind and throw it in the machine. You will not have a good experience. If you don't want to put in the effort, you should probably just keep buying disposable pods, any reusable pod will require this effort.That being said, to be honest I love the product. I love the ability and freedom to experiment with different coffee and tea. If you're going to use tea be very careful it's not so small it passes through the aluminum mesh and clogs your machine. Also, only fill half the pod because tea expands!!!That's right I said I love the product, I was debating between giving it 5 stars or less, but ultimately opted for less because I have yet to get out of them what I purchased them for; a good 16oz Americano. All my Americanos have come out diluted, or too bitter.I have achieved a good espresso though! I never actually enjoyed an espresso until now, maybe I'm drinking diluted espressos... Who knows, but I like it!!! I can't go around drinking espressos all day though, let alone be throwing back 4 at breakfast. I honestly don't know if I'm spending less or spending more on coffee with all the pods I'm making in a day.When it comes to coffee this product only makes a 40ml espresso. In fact I have tried to pack this pod as full as possible and even more because I see the aluminum has space to bulge. Even then, on my scale I can only fit 4.6 grams in the pod, which always makes a watered down lungo, and a harsh/bitter espresso. So just follow the instructions on their site, scoop and tap, anything else is gross.Look I get it, making a reusable product comes at a cost. Here space that could be used to get a Lungo is given up because of the thickness of material and other reasons. So, it is what it is. I enjoy the product, I recommend you get it, but for me right now, its more of a novelty than useful for morning coffee. With that said, I wish I had like 36 of these.Now I think I should mention, I have not ever used any other reusable pod product, nor do I plan to. As I made coffee with the normal pods in my machine I noticed that there are small knives that puncture the capsules through the back. As I looked over all the possible products I realized stainless steel+ knifes sounds like a great way to ruine your machine. When I saw these I knew they were the only viable option. And I'm glad I chose them because there are clear marks where the blades have scraped the plastic. If these had been stainless stee I'd be deeply regretting my purchase about now.!!!---- Here's the rub----!!!Pros:-Spend way less on coffee-The actual capsule making process is very easy, and quck to whip up a half doezen-You can use some types of tea (only half a capsule, tea leaves expand when hydrated)-If you like speciality coffee you can make great espressos!-Material Doesn't damage your machine.-Cool toy to play withCons:-Very sharp learning curve-Must have burr grinder-Must find good locally roasted coffee-Not hermetically sealed = no shelf life-Only makes 40ml espresso-Two is not enough

Fair price and helps keep disposable stuff out of landfill.

C'est à la fois plus économique et plus écologique, très simple et rapide à utiliser une fois qu'on a pris le coup de main (dès la seconde utilisation, en soi), et bien que je m'apprête à acheter le lot de 6 capsules supplémentaires, c'est plus par confort, pour pouvoir remplir une journée ou deux de café en une fois, que par nécessité.Il faut un peu de force pour sceller les capsules, mais rien d'insurmontable (je n'ai pas spécialement de force et j'y arrive sans problème quand j'ai une bonne prise, et le design fait que c'est peu susceptible de glisser dans les mains).La seule difficulté est de trouver un café qui fonctionne bien avec (à moins de moudre soi-même son café, bien-sûr), mais là encore c'est bien pensé : il y a une liste de 10 cafés recommandés dans la boîte, et même celui que j'avais pris avant d'avoir les suggestions me fait un café tout à fait correct.Je ne peux que recommander, il n'y a pas eu une seule mauvaise surprise, que des bonnes.

Estas cápsulas son una excelente alternativa a cualquier opción comercial de usar y tirar.Yo tardé meses en encontrarle el punto al molido de grano. No puede ser tan fino como el de las capuslas originales, ni tan grueso que no proporcione un buen sabor. Hay que intentar varios tipos de molido hasta encontrar el que le vaya bien a la bomba de presión de cada cafetera. La mia es una DeLonghi, y ya encontré la mezcla perfecta: 50% de molido fino (comprado en una tienda local de café como para Nespresso) y 50% molido grueso (como para cafetera de prensa francesa).Las cápsulas tienen más de 3 años y van fenomenal.

A reusable capsule that is easy to use, produces excellent coffe and crema every time and works with Nespresso - exactly what Bluecup delivers and is a product that I thought I would never find.After realising that I could buy reusable capsules for Nespresso I was on it. But my first experience was a massive disappointment. Plastic capsules with flip over mesh style lids gave me cheaper price, reusability and my choice of coffee but the result was always watery and no crema.I then moved to fully recyclable, bio-degradable capsules. I felt much better about my eco move, but sadly the same result on the coffee front. Then I tried reusable metal (expensive capsules), same result and burnt fingers from hot capsules; then on to a myriad of other plastic variations, and still not getting the same Nespresso coffee results.When I found Bluecup I was ready for another disappointment, but gladly after 2 months and daily coffees, I have been amazed and delighted in equal measure. Coffee produced using the capsules is always good, always produces crema and easy to refill. The products also have strong eco credentials and are made in Europe which are both pluses in my eyes.Any negatives? ‘Seal it with the Cup Creator with a short, small twist’ - the Cup Creator is simple to use but quite large and too unwieldy for my wife’s hands (and that’s not a sexist comment it’s her words). She finds it difficult to hold and twist easily so I end up refilling the capsules - but I enjoy it! The other is the removal of the tinfoil lids after use, could do with a simple way to remove these to make the refilling process easier and less fiddly.But these are small personal niggles which don't detract in my opinion that this is the best reusable, refillable capsule solution available today for Nespresso.

La misura della capsula è precisa alle originali. Inoltre la chiusura in alluminio usa e getta si adatta a diversi modelli DeLonghi.
