Ok
These work great however the seal on them is not consistent so I’ve had some spilling issues. Lots of work if you choose to do this

It works, but it’s too big for the capsules, and the sticky part is only at the very edge, so really hard to line up, and doesn’t stick very well.

Sturdy, quick and easy to use…
Jan 29, 2019 — This is my fourth reorder for the My-Cap Foils to Reuse Capsules for the Nespresso VertuoLine Brewers. I highly recommend them to anyone who, like me, loves the convenience of instant espresso-like coffee, but wants to save money, doesnât like the Nespresso coffees, and/or wants to reduce waste.The hardest part of using these foil toppers is removing the original foil and film from the Nespresso VertuoLine capsules. It’s not hard, it just requires a bit of patience. Using tweezers, it takes a few minutes per capsule, but the My-Cap foil topper still works even if I can’t remove 100% of the Nespresso foil.We keep some Nespresso coffee in the house for when all of our reused capsules are dirty and I don’t have time to clean them. However, we have gone from ordering 90 Nespresso capsules a month, to ordering 90 once every 3-4 months. I could actually not order any Nespresso coffee if I stayed on top of cleaning the used capsules on a regular basis.My personal coffee blend is way better than the Nespresso coffee. My husband and I both prefer the coffee I make with a reused capsule. I blend 2+ coffee/espresso blends and get a deliciously smooth and well-balanced cup of coffee that I don’t mind drinking black. My husband can always tell when he got Nespresso coffee and will ask what I did different because it tastes bitter. For anyone interested, Iâll put my coffee blend belowâ¦I followed another reviewers’ advice about using the hard tip of the My-Cap brush to smooth the foil down onto the capsule and it has worked 100% of the time without fail. I have not experienced any overflowing grounds, or torn foil after placing the capsule in the Nespresso brewer. Sometimes, I slip while smoothing the foil down and end up tearing the foil, but that’s my fault. I really should pre-prep the capsules before I go to bed so I don’t have to make a capsule while I’m half asleep and my dexterity is at 50% efficiency.These My-Cap foil toppers have saved my husband and me so much money on coffee. And! I can finally enjoy a decent shot of smooth, not bitter espresso without leaving home. I highly recommend.**********************************My personal coffee blend: In a large, sealable container, combine one bag of Starbucks ground espresso roast and one can of Illy ground espresso dark roast in a large container and mix well… I use an old, large Folgers can that I picked up from work when it was empty. The Illy balances the Starbucks beautifully. On their own, they make good espresso, but combined, theyâre like the Captain Planet of espresso coffees.My husband likes flavored coffees, like HEB’s cinnamon hazelnut. I use a mason jar to mix a 50/50 ratio of my espresso blend and his flavored coffee. Even though the flavored coffee isnât an espresso roast, it still turns out really good. I canât taste the flavored Nespresso coffees, but I can always taste the flavors of my personal blends.***Prepping a capsule: For making a large capsule, I find about 2.5 tbsp of our coffee mix is perfect for the large capsules. Measurements will vary based on the size of the coffee grind. Ideally, finer/espresso ground coffees should be used. French press ground coffee will taste weak and watery.1) Scoop 1 tbsp at a time, gently pressing down between scoops.2) After filling the capsule, use a tamper or something flat to gently tamp the coffee into the capsule.3) If there are any grounds on the rim of the capsule, a careful tap on the sides of the capsule holder is generally all I need to get any stray grounds off the rim and back in the capsule. Otherwise, use the My-Cap brush.4) Apply the My-Cap foil topper and use the point of the brush handle to smooth it down on the rim and around the sides of the capsule. I don’t fold it all the way under, and it doesn’t need to be. The foil topper stays on and the coffee is perfectly brewed as long as it’s smoothed down on the rim and around the sides.When I have everything organized and ready to go, I can make two cups of coffee in just a few minutes. The second capsule comes together while the first cup is brewing.**I hope this helped someone.**

Easy to Use & BPA Free, Highly Recommended
These foil lids allow me to reuse my Nespresso pods, easily add my coffee and cover â they work perfectly! I like that it’s environmentally friendly and also saves you money by using some of your own coffee when you want a break from just the Nespresso flavors. Because it’s something I’m consuming, I want food grade materials, and this brand gives you that. I highly recommend this product!

Yes get them!!! ..THEY WORK!
User an off brand of Expresso, in the Vertuto pod. I removed the foil on Nespresso..all of it, none left in any nook.I did tuck the foil under a bit more after reading you really didnât need to just secure, sticking. Iâve kept 5 pods from Nespresso.. they may have a little dent or 2 on the capsule. I did easily press them out like a new pod. Same froth thickness and functionality of drip speed and amount.YES IT WORKS!!! Yes, purchase!

UPDATE: Last two orders, BIG FAIL!
UPDATE November 7, 2017: I’ve been extremely disappointed with my follow up orders of My-Caps. The foil seals that came with the kit worked perfectly almost every time. But my second order of seals only, didn’t have the same adhesive quality as those that came in the kit. The seals easily peel off the paper (unlike those in kit) and unfortunately, that lack of good adhesive causes these foil My-Caps to continually fail. It’s terrible. You can hear when the caps comes off, causing the machine to strain under usage, sometimes to the point that I’ve unplugged the machine because I’m afraid it’s going to do permanent damage. But, maybe I thought, I just got a bad pack, so I ordered again. They arrived yesterday, and once again, BIG FAIL! I can no longer recommend this product. Not until all of the foil My-Caps once more, have a strong, fail-safe adhesive.Work perfectly in our Nespresso Vertuo! We have loved Lavazza coffee ever since being stationed in Italy. So of course I had to give the My-Cap foils a try. To insure a perfect cup, I use my scale and add coffee to capsule until it weighs 34-35 grams. If you don’t have a scale, three full scoops per capsule (using scoop from the My-Cap vpack) is about right. The coffee/crema comes out perfectly and I haven’t had any grounds escaping the foil seal into the coffee. Is it time consuming to pack/top the caps? Yes. But definitely worth the time and effort. Best coffee and a much better price!UPDATE: The recent I received is defective. The glue isn’t as effective and the foil itself seems more flimsy. I’m going to be trying another brand, as I’m tired of wasting coffee and continually having to clean grinds from the machine.
