Review on ☕ CAPMESSO Aluminum Foil Lids for Reusable Vertuoline Capsules Coffee Pods, Compatible with Nespresso VertuoLine Machine, 64mm, 100-Pack by Sean Garrison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality and reliability

I've done a lot of research into different ways to reuse Nespresso capsules with my own coffee and I've made up for it. I am very satisfied with this product, having used it successfully about 60 times (never let me down). Strong and reliable. Here are my steps to use 1. Two original modules need to be reused and modified. Carefully trim the edge so you have a sufficiently flat edge for the adhesive film portion of the lid. Remove the aluminum cover from the other bay (leave the bezel and barcode underneath) as the outer bay so that the combined edge looks like a bay when the first bay is placed over the second.2. Pour your choice of ground coffee (I choose fine on setting 5 to 6) all the way to the top, press down slightly and cover the pod with the foil lid. The slightly larger lid actually makes things easier.3. Fold in the part of the lid that extends beyond the edge. It is possible to cover the barcode as it is inside the pod. Check that the edges stay clean after you offset the outer sleeve. 4. I would recommend removing the capsule after use while it is still warm. I was never able to remove the capsule even if I didn't have smooth edges. Otherwise, sometimes it may stick a little and the machine may freeze when trying to remove the capsule. If this happens, simply turn the machine on and off again and the machine will open fully so you can remove it by hand. Some have complained that the foil is difficult to remove. It's actually very easy to do in this usage. The glue is so strong that I can start tearing off the edge of the foil at any point, like peeling an onion. I like that the lid is a bit bigger. Easier to level, less glue in contact with the coffee (the lid is food safe, but still) and easier to remove. If you're not in a hurry to make your coffee, it only takes a minute or two to make your own pod. I choose all organic coffee beans, including decaf, and still save money and the environment.
