Aluminum Foils Lids for Reusable Nespresso Original Line Stainless Steel Coffee Pods Compatible with Nespresso Originaline Machine 100pcs

I have a Nespresso Pixie and this set is a great addition. The scoop and tamper make it very easy to fill the cups and the tray holds the cups securely while placing the foil lids. These pods are durable and stand up to daily use. This is a much, much, cheaper option than using pre-filled pods and gives me the option to use whatever espresso I want. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and will never go back to pre-filled pods. Read more

These reusable pods work great!! My husband was really happy with them and made a nice foam as well. We used to order pods for our nespresso from caffe Vergnano but price went to $140 for 200 capsules. These are fabulous and makes a good cup of espresso. Not sure why a reusable top cannot be made to work as the sticker does BUT I’m not complaining. I noticed bad reviews for others that had a reusable top so that’s why I gave this a try and so happy I did. Will be ordering a second set of 6! Read more

These work flawlessly! I used Lavazza Perfetto Medium Roast, already ground in the bag, for my first attempt using my L'OR Barista machine. The coffee was delicious. I cannot wait to experiment with my coffee grinder to use whole bean and other coffee types. The 10 pod set with the tray holder allows you to easily fill the pods and seal them with the foil tops. The holder keeps the pods stable when tamping and setting the foil seals. The pod worked perfectly in the machine! It makes good espresso. However, since these are "expresso" sized pods, I have to use two pods to fill a coffee mug 3/4 high using the large brew button for regular coffee. My only wish is that this same setup would be available in the larger L'OR style pod combining 10 pods with the tray. Currently, only a single large pod can be bought at a higher price than I paid for this product set! I will just "suffer" using two small pods for coffee until these become available as a set in the large pod size. Read more

I am not blaming the product, more the process. But I'm finding it hard to make the espresso pods. 1. I keep making the coffee grind too fine, and it's a slow pour from the Nespresso. Or worse, it blocks the flow of the Nespresso. I have a bur grinder so i can adjust the coarseness, i just am having a real hard time finding the right spot 2. I love my coffee brands for pour over coffee, but for some reason, it's more bitter in this espresso maker. Is that expected? I don't know, but another reason why I'm having a hard time with this process 3. It is a bit labor intensive. Fun the first few times, but then it's just a chore. And i use 2 pods power coffee, so making 6 pods goes very quickly But in all fairness to this product, i love that it comes with a holder for the pods. It seems like there is some air tightness so that the coffee doesn't go stale when the pods are pressed into the holder. The sticker tops are easy to apply and place in the correct position. The scooper tool works well by making the pod itself the scoop. But i haven't figured out how not to spill any coffee grinds when making these. Read more

I rarely write reviews but I felt very inclined to do so for this product. I’ve now made ~10 shots over the course of 3 weeks of having these. I have a D’Longhi Mini Essenza Nespresso machine, and it fits these capsules like a glove, a very tight glove. That’s a good thing, because a loose fitting capsule will cause water leakage into your espresso cup and dilute your drink (and experience). I weigh 5 grams of finely ground dark roast (seriously, I just buy pre ground espresso that Trader Joe’s sells, rainforest packaging) in the capsule and use the included “tamper” to compress the grounds. It’s a little bit messy of a process but I’ll take cleaning up since the end result is phenomenal. I use filtered water ONLY in my Nespresso machine and overall, it works like a charm. Lovely aroma (better than store bought pods) and perfect amount of cream too. Resist the urge to fully fill and pack the capsule, as some space is needed for the water when the foil lid is penetrated. I’ve made these the night before and even after sitting sealed by the foil for 8 hours, they still taste fresh in the morning. Each shot is very consistent and up to the caliber and quality of Nespresso brand pods. I took a chance after reading some mixed reviews, but boy am I glad I got these. I am now so excited to experiment with pre-ground espresso from different roasters, since the standard Trader Joe’s brand espresso tastes so good. This saves so much money over buying one time use pods, and the taste is phenomenal! Fantastic value!!! Read more

Updated 3 star review The set of 200 stickers that I received after I used up the original stickers did not work well at all. They can’t stay attached during brewing. This is such a disappointment, as I loved the original kit. Original 5 star review To be honest, I wasn't sure if I would use these pods much because they would require too much effort to use. I love the convenience of a single serve espresso machine, but I also want to look for more environmentally friendly pods. I will not use plastic pods. I have been using Peets (cheaper, but not the best flavor) and Nespresso ($$$) pods because they offer recycling programs. While I like that I am not adding plastic to a landfill, I don't know what the real impact is of the plastic bags for shipping, fuel costs to ship, etc. So...that lead me to these wonderful little reusable espresso pods. I can use beans from my favorite roaster and enjoy amazing cappuccinos at home. It really is as simple as grind, scoop and seal. The pods fit perfectly in my Cuisinart machine. The set of 6 pods lasts me 2-3 days and I actually look forward to filling them - the smell of freshly ground beans is always welcome! Read more
