So far so good! in my review

I was given a Nespresso machine and a supply of coffee pods and have been looking forward to my morning coffee ever since. What I wasn't looking forward to is buying the Nespresso pods. They are expensive for my budget, and I'm a little bothered by the waste they produce- although they do provide a prepaid bag to send the used pods back to Nespresso to recycle. So I decided to try a re-useable cup instead of a pod. I've only made about 6 cups of coffee, but I'm pleased with it so far. It was tricky to get enough coffee into the cup and pack it down, so I bought a metal tamper and that helped immensely. Be sure to measure your cup and buy the right size tamper. Making coffee is a little noisier since this cup is heavier than the aluminum pods, but other than that, it's working well. I'm experimenting with different coffees and grinds to find the 'perfect' one.

Pros
  • Compatible with various coffee brands
Cons
  • The metal construction may cause machine compatibility issues
