Broke my nespresso machine

I really wanted these to work. Would’ve been a nice way to save money on pods. They almost never worked, it was almost impossible to pack them correctly and get the water to run through them in the machine - my success rate was 1 out of every 4 pods. To top things off, they broke the capsule locking mechanism on my citiz machine and now you have to fidget with it to lock in place. I don't recommend these at all. I wasted time, patience and money and had to buy a new machine thanks to this…

Pros
  • Eliminates the need for costly disposable pods
Cons
  • Increased risk of waste due to trial and error during the refilling process.

Makes great shots good for me

I was skeptical at first but if you follow the instructions and use a dark roast and finer grind so the water spends more time going through the grounds, the coffee shot you get is quite good, with crema and all -- see picture. The pods are a bit smaller than the disposable ones but you can pack enough grounds for a cup size between an espresso shot and a lungo. The accessories that come in the box are quite useful, for instance the steel tamper and the extra set of gaskets! I'm glad I got the…

Pros
  • Coffee & Espresso Machine Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • Inconsistent and unpredictable coffee taste due to inconsistent filling amounts.

A bit of a challenge to get right grind

This is my second set. I really only needed more capsules not the complete kit but apparently that is not available. Wanted to fill more than three at a time so I wasn't constantly dragging out all the supplies.Still a challenge finding the right grind to get best coffee. Trial and error but getting it down. It certainly is incredibly cheaper than purchasing prepared cups.

Pros
  • Designed to preserve the aroma and flavor of coffee
Cons
  • Potential loss of quality over time.

Worked great after some troubleshooting!

I got my husband a Nespresso (original line) machine for Christmas (CitiZ) and was concerned with a few things with the disposable pods:1) The price per pod2)The wastefulness of the pods (throwing aluminum away, or even recycling it though that is problematic and uses more resources than I would prefer)3)The long-term health effects of drinking espresso brewed in aluminum.These Capmesso pods seemed to be the answer, though I was a bit nervous since some of the reviews aren't great. After…

Pros
  • A great value for money
Cons
  • Struggle to find the perfect amount of coffee to fill the capsules for optimal taste.

Great product. It saved me a lot of money!

I really love this product, it saved me tons of money on expensive coffee pods. A few things to note about this product though, it doesn't make as much coffee as a regular pod because it is a little smaller. The capsule is a little tedious if you like multiple shots of coffee because you have to clean it out between each use and it is very hot for a bit after being used in the Nespresso machine. It's great in the ways that you get to use your own coffee. The product comes with a cute little…

Pros
  • Reusable Filters
Cons
  • Inefficient for making multiple cups of coffee in a row.

Worth it to not spend $90 every two months on pods.

These are nifty little reusable pods. They fit in my Nespresso Pixie machine. Getting a good shot took some trouble-shooting between choosing a grind size (fine, but not extra fine; otherwise, too much pressure builds in the machine and no coffee gets brewed. And you might break your machine) and how much to fill and tamp the pods (fill with loose grounds to the rim of the pod; let the weight of the tamper compress the grounds but don’t press down). As long as you have good coffee and a good…

Pros
  • Coffee Machine Accessories
Cons
  • Possibility of the capsules warping or breaking after multiple uses.

Not a great fit for Nespresso Type D111

Warning for Nespresso CitiZ Type D111: It is not possible to insert the pod from the top and close the lid. After a little experimentation, we found it is possible to insert the pod from the bottom while cafefully sliding it along front inside wall and then while pressing the pod against the puncture mechanism, we could close the lid. Once you have brewed the espresso, you will need to use a flat tool to manually remove the pod since the steel pods get wedged. (The usual mechanism pulls the…

Pros
  • Upgraded Creamy Version
Cons
  • Difficulty in storing and organizing the capsules.

These PODS are amazing!

I ordered the pods, because not only does it become a bit pricey buying the original but I also missed my regular coffee.I am so happy with this purchase! My coffee brewed just as fast as the regular Nespresso pods. I definitely recommend to anyone who is trying to cut down on expenses - this will truly help especially since we have coffee often! It's also very simple to clean and no mess!

Pros
  • This little cup has saved so much money. Works fantastic. Stainless steel. Highly recommend
Cons
  • Difficulty in cleaning the crevices of the reusable coffee capsules.

Good quality reusable capsule

It is my first time using reusable capsule and I am happy with the purchase. The reason of 4 stars it’s because using the capmesso makes coffee little bit weaker than the original capsule.

Pros
  • Makes a perfect cup of coffee every time
Cons
  • Chance of the capsules overflowing during the brewing process, creating a mess.

Not quite right in my review

It could be user error, it these reusable pods don’t give a full flavor to my brew. They are easy to clean and easy to pack, however just don’t pack a punch of flavor.

Pros
  • Perfect for busy mornings
Cons
  • Reduced flavor and aroma compared to traditional brewing methods.

Great way to save on coffee - easier than expected

Was skeptical at first, but after using the capsule for the first time it was much easier than we expected - and easy to clean! It’s not quite as strong as nespresso caps, but having tried it with Cafe Bustelo, we get a great espresso shot from it. Looking forward to experimenting more!

Pros
  • Easy to use and refillable
Cons
  • High learning curve for new users of the reusable capsules.

Best refillable Nespresso compliant pods I’ve used

These refillable capsules are quite easy to use and, providing the right coffee beans are used, the result is pretty good. The instructions for use are clear and helpful. I have 2 sets now and will probably buy a third.

Pros
  • Brews a rich and full-bodied coffee
Cons
  • Counterintuitive use of the capsules when compared to traditional coffee-making methods.

Works great! Tamping grounds is fun

I use my Nespresso atleast 4 times a day, and while I love their recyclable pod collection I’m glad I can impulse buy bagged coffee at the store again to try new flavors. I also used to envy my friends espresso machine strictly because I love the ritual of tamping the grounds and now I can do that again but with a faster payoff! It works great in my Nespresso machine which you can see in my video. I’m giving another friend of mine the third pod in this set to use in his portable nano press when

Pros
  • Great for entertaining guests
Cons
  • Possibility of the capsules breaking or cracking during shipping or storage.

Stop looking - this is the reusable pod you need.

I looked for a long time on revain for reusable Nespresso capsules that worked. I wanted a capsule that made great-tasting espresso with real crema and didn't have any disposable parts (so many of these reusable capsules make you use disposable foils - what's the point?). I tried the plastic cups - those couldn't stand up to the pressure of my CitiZ machine and made weak, watery espresso. Finally, I found these Capmesso pods. They are 100% what I was looking for. They are easy to use and wash…

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of Nespresso machines
Cons
  • Limited options for purchasing replacement or additional reusable capsules.

Better for environment and my wallet

I have used it once and it worked great the coffee was creamy and good. I need to give it time to see how it holds up but I'm happy with it so far. Very easy to clean just pop it out dump coffee in compost rinse and your done. Finding this pod kept me from selling and replacing my espresso machine I wanted to get a non pod type but now I can hold on to it a little longer.

Pros
  • A great way to try new coffee blends
Cons
  • Limited sizing options for accommodating different cup sizes.

Nice design: my feedback

This set gets the job done. The coffee is not as foaming and the color is not as deep compares to nespresso capsule. However, it functional and I like the idea of recycling capsules. If you like stronger coffee, make sure you buy 3 capsules in one set.

Pros
  • Gives you the convenience of a single-serve coffee pod system
Cons
  • Risk of the capsules deteriorating after exposure to high heat or pressure.

Excellent cartridge, be cautious.

I have purchased 3 different types of refillable stainless steel pods over 2 years, These are the best. Thin body as to maximize coffee portions, micro screen works great and helps with crema. Finding the best grind is critical but once accomplished reliable espresso. (Note) I have an Essenza mini by Beville, Do not force top load or will likely damage machine. Instead remove drop sleeve and load from bottom up. This is a common cautionary concern with non nespresso replacement stainless steel…

Pros
  • Gives you the peace of mind that comes with using an eco-friendly product
Cons
  • Risk of the reusable capsules getting stuck in the Nespresso machine after repeated usage.

Solid capsules with crema as promised

I'm pretty impressed by these capsules. They work MUCH better than the cheap plastic variety. Came very nicely packaged and as described. Easy to use and clean and the capsules produce a good amount of foam as promised. Feel quite sturdy so should last. They also came with extra rubber grommets in case the originals wear. Very happy with these and I'd highly recommend them!

Pros
  • More Durable Than Plastic
Cons
  • Limited lifespan compared to original Nespresso capsules.

Watered down coffee. Not even close to espresso.

These capsules make your espresso taste watered down. Make a capuccino with the nespresso machine results in milk with watered down coffee. I tried 6 different types of beans, followed instructions step by step. These capsules are TERRIBLE.Wish I would've spent this money in actual Nespresso capsules instead of this and 6 bags of coffee, all of which taste 100x better in a traditional coffee machine.

Pros
  • Easy to store in your kitchen
Cons
  • Inability to adjust and fine-tune the brewing process according to preferences.

Espresso Coffee Pod Review

I love my Capmesso stainless steel pod for my Nespresso Original coffee machine! I use Costco medium ground medium roast coffee in it, giving me the crema that I love, good taste, and the consistency of espresso. In the above photo, I added a little Chicory Root to the coffee in the pod. This photo is that result on the Lungo setting of my Nespresso machine. Enjoy! I do, creating my own recipes with coffee.

Pros
  • Provides a smooth and creamy cup of coffee
Cons
  • Risk of excess moisture buildup in the capsules over time.
