Well made, but on my review.

This was very nicely made; very heavy duty, but it made my Breville Nespresso Veturo make incredibly loud noises. I was afraid it was going to cause damage. The espresso came out with cream which was very nice, but the espresso itself was weaker and a little watery. I used Illy espresso and packed it well. I tried it about 10x, bc Nespresso capsules are too expensive for my addiction, lol. and I’m not the only espresso addict in the house. I wanted this to solve my $$$ problem, but it didn’t…

Pros
  • 3.78 x 2.64 x 2.56 inches
Cons
  • Product sucks! Coffee that was made came out tasting like watered down coffee.

DANGER! - Do not buy this!

THIS POD COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY NESPRESSO!I use my Nespresso machine every day. To save a few bucks on pods I ordered this item. I used this item one time and my machine started to shake and vibrate violently when the pod began to spin until it abruptly stopped and will no longer turn on. This pod completely destroyed my coffee maker. Do not buy this product! I’m quite certain the reviews are manipulated as there is no way no one else has experienced this issue. The pod weighs 5x more than the

Pros
  • Stainless steel construction ensures it won't rust
Cons
  • The product may not fit properly in all Vertuoline machines

Works perfectly for my opinion

This is my second double espresso stainless steel pod from Capmesso. I use them daily, so I wanted to have an extra. This works as beautifully as the first. When I have used other reusable pods, the machine makes loud noises like it's a jet about to take off. I have never experienced that with these pods. I also like that there are no foil lids to mess with!

Pros
  • Pods are compatible with various coffee machine models
Cons
  • Stainless steel material may affect the taste of the coffee

Don’t tamp! good for me

Originally, I followed the included instructions including tamping down the 4 scoops of grinds. In tamping down, my Nespresso Vertuo machine also gave the red warning light. After experimenting, I have found that four level scoops of grinds* WITHOUT TAMPING doesn’t present a problem for the machine and provides a strong cup of Joe. *Grinds straight out of store bought coffee grinds (HEB coffee, Central Texas).

Pros
  • Reusable pods offer better value for your money
Cons
  • It may be hard to fill the capsule with the right amount of coffee

I have a Breville Vertuo Coffee machine. This machine worked great with the stainless steel pods that you fill, for about three months. Now it drips not, and not hot. Only works with store bought coffee pods. This product is awful. Do NOT buy. Any ideas. I called customer service for the Breville people and they said I should clean it once a week; I did. And it worked one time and never since.

Pros
  • Made of high-quality stainless steel for durability
Cons
  • Not worth it

Works great even for dark, strong coffee lovers!

This version of this product works really well for us. We like dark, strong coffee and use Starbucks Sumatra and had them grind it to espresso consistency. The flavor is just as good as regular Nespresso pods at a fraction of the cost! We are very happy with this product. The customer service is also exceptional. They were very helpful when I had questions. Highly recommend!

Pros
  • Coffee & Espresso Machine Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • Could not get one good cuppa coffee

Just Some Facts on my review.

All is good. As the shape of the pod is different than the pre-packed ones I was nervous but that has not been a problem. Due to other comments I thought I'd share the picture and some measurements.The receptacle holds 9-10 gr of finely ground coffee, depending on tamping. I was concerned this wasn't enough based on my re-filling the pre-packed ones but the coffee flavor/strength is good. The amount of coffee is about 8.2 oz/233 gr. A nice crema.The only time I'm concerned with "what's going…

Pros
  • Perfect for coffee drinkers who love to experiment with different blends
Cons
  • The product could take up too much drawer space

Good idea BUT for my opinion

The barcode sticker is already coming off and I’ve had it for 3 1/2 months. Disappointed it hasn’t lasted longer for the price. Guess I’m going back to buying the capsules.

Pros
  • Reusable Filters
Cons
  • It makes loud noise and coffee doesn’t come out smoothly.

This capsule is a must-have!

This makes quite a bit of espresso, it's definitely not a single shot. My husband and I split it, so it's perfect - very convenient; easy to fill, open and close, and the size means I don't have to rinse and reload twice every morning. I'm not sure how they did it, but the threads on this version don't get jammed with espresso grounds. The espresso itself is amazing - rich, fragrant and creamy, with that beautiful froth we all crave. This has saved me so much money already, given that the…

Pros
  • Helps you brew your own quality coffee at home
Cons
  • May not work as well as disposable coffee pods

Painless return: my feedback

Cannot give this a better review because it did not work well and was returned. I will say the return was painless. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Saves space in your kitchen by eliminating the need for bulky coffee capsules
Cons
  • It could be too expensive for some coffee drinkers

Doesn’t work in my review

I have tried this for a couple of months now. I can’t get more than half a cup of coffee from it. It is SO LOUD. My machine immediately went into descale mode but after descaling, the button keeps flashing. This is a waste of money.

Pros
  • Did not and does not work 8n. Aching. Only get red light.
Cons
  • This works. But the flavor is nasty. I try different coffee. But nothing works.

Even Better Now! in my review

Well, the new version is even better than the original. The 304 stainless is still beautifully machined, but is now just a tad lighter for better spinning, and there are one or two design changes, which make for a stronger cup with even more crema, and the crema seems sweeter to my taste.You should experiment with coffee brands, grinds, amounts and how hard you tamp. I use the 8oz. Capmesso with an 8oz. glass, and run it till the crema (very thick) gets to about 5 oz. That makes for a dopio, a…

Pros
  • No need to compromise on the taste of your coffee
Cons
  • It may not fit all cup holders

This is not a good replacement for the Nespresso pods

I followed the instructions and ended up with a weak cup of coffee and no crema. Also, the machine made a lot of noise and rattled.

Pros
  • No plastic or aluminum aftertaste in your coffee
Cons
  • It could be uncomfortable to handle due to its metal construction

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…

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

Almost broke my machine

Got this as a present from a friend and my light went red and you could tell it was having a hard time brewing the whole time. Aftwr red light came on it stopped brewing, water was full in the tank. I followed the directions to a T. Very disappointed and angry

Pros
  • Environmentally friendly solution for coffee lovers
Cons
  • Unfortunately we did not like anything about it

I returned it for my opinion

This is well made but I can confirm some of the some of the negative reviews. The actual pod coffee container portion of this, is the same size as the 5oz Nespresso pods. So when you brew it, expecting 7.7 oz, which is what it is coded for, it ends up being weak and metal tasting. If you stop the brew early the coffee tastes great, just as good as Nespresso pods. But for $24 I wanted a 7.7oz pod and didn’t want to babysit it to only get 5oz. It was also a real pain to figure out exactly what…

Pros
  • Easy-to-use design makes it perfect for beginners
Cons
  • The product could be too difficult to use for some people

Very pleased good for me

I’ve been using this capsule for two weeks without an issues or problems with my machine. It makes a great cup of coffee and I’m happy using my own espresso. I recommend giving it a try.

Pros
  • You get to enjoy fresh coffee without the guilt of contributing to environmental waste
Cons
  • It may not be as convenient as disposable coffee pods

Revainrating 5 out of 5

New and improved! good for me

This is the new version - and VERY much improved. The old version was perforated where the water entered the pod which reduced water flow and water pressure. With this new version, the water goes straight into the pod (like a normal pod) and there are more perforations for the coffee to escape. Works like a champ.

Pros
  • Coffee Filters
Cons
  • It spits out about a tablespoon of coffee and stops . Not worth the money

A great replacement for expensive coffee pods!

Was asked to demo this unit for a review and I have to say it is worth the expense. I roast my own coffee and this is a great addition to my morning arsenal :). Easy to use and clean when done and works as intended. I would recommend this to anyone seeking a Nesspresso pod replacement.

Pros
  • Brews delicious coffee the way you want
Cons
  • You need to manually clean the capsule after each use

Great coffee and money saver!

This stainless steel capsule for my new Nepresso is great! I make coffee for the fraction of the cost of the store bought Nepresso capsules. I get the same froth on top and can make coffees of my choice. A must have!

Pros
  • Easy to fill in with coffee of your choice
Cons
  • It could void the warranty on your machine
