Nespresso Capsules Refillable – Reusable Coffee Pods For Nespresso Cups – OriginalLine Compatible – Pack of 6

Small Weak Shots: Allows Leakage and Gets Stuck In Machine
I received a used product that was incomplete– it only had 5 pods and was missing the brush and scoop. Since I had to return it as “incomplete” anyway, I tried a couple of the pods with some high quality espresso grounds. The pods didn’t seem to fix correctly in my Breville Pixie. The shots were half-size and very weak, and the drip tray had quite a lot of water in it. I’m pretty sure half or more of the water was going around the pod rather than through it. Also the pods I tried got stuck and had to be pried out– that,s never happened with any other pods. While I like the idea of a re-loadable pod that doesn’t require the stickers to close them, these did not work in my machine, so I returned them for a refund, rather than a replacement.

Decent but clean up is very tedious
I have a Nespresso Inissia and got sick of purchasing the Nespresso capsules despite the fact that they make great tasting coffee. But obviously cost is too much for me. I’ve been researching alternative options and the generic pre-filled capsules are only slightly cheaper. I wanted something that would not make me have to wait until I receive a new order of capsules or reorder products. I have returned these capsules for the fact that the clean up was a lengthy process and would like something that is easier to clean up so I can fill again quickly. I am now considering getting disposable capsules that you seal with foil stickers or maybe sealpods if those don’t work out.PROS:-Brews decent coffee depending on coffee used. I used mostly Caribou Coffee Mahogany Dark roast coffee & Lavazza Super Crema and seemed to get great tasting coffee. I grind the coffee beans using a blade coffee grinder to a fine grind and then tamp and fill the capsules to the rim and push down with the bottom of the plastic scooper until top of fill is flat.-Reusable and convenient for those who want to grind their own coffee from coffee beans or fill with pre-ground coffee.-Comes with a scooper and can use the bottom to tamp or press coffe grinds down.CONS:-Clean up is very tedious. The brush that comes with the capsules is practically useless in removing wet used coffee grounds from the cap and the bristles are cheaply made. I instead had to use my latte art pen tip or a toothpick to clean out the cap.-Number of capsules is not enough and requires frequent cleaning (which I hated). I found myself having to clean often due to making multiple cups of coffee for multiple people in my home.-I was unable to get a full lungo shot with these capsules. It seemed to get watery half way thru despite trying different methods suggested by other reviewers like experimenting with the grind (i.e. fine, espresso grind), tamping, etc. but still seems to get watery. The shot still tastes good but just don’t feel like I’m gettting a full espresso shot out of the capsule.-Size is slightly smaller than original Nespresso capsules and generic brand capsules and thus fits less coffee, which might be part of the reason I can’t get a full espresso shot. Sometimes I had to use two capsules just to get a lungo shot or bigger shot that was not watery. I usually stop the machine once I see the pour becoming watery.Overall, it’s a decent capsule. But it just was not for me, especially the clean up situation. I would say give it a try if you really want to use your own coffee due to cost of original capsules. Hope this helps.

me dan para un expresso
Lo primero que tienes que considerar es que esas máquinas no se pueden comparar a las grandes italianas que hay en la cafetería. Recomiendo apelmazar el café en la cápsula para lograr más densidad. Si tenemos en cuenta que es una solución sustituta y que ahorra, el producto es excelente a ese precio.

durable and easy to fill
I like Cafe Bustelo Espresso. I purchased my Nespresso Machine several years ago and there weren’t Bustelo pods available. My first attempts to pack my own pods were the kind with the foil tops. They were slow and hard to pack. I switched to these pods and have now used them for a long time. They are easy and quick to pack and give me that flexibility to choose what to put in them. I’m surprised to see any negative reviews here.

If you like your coffee to taste like water, this product is for you! No matter how tight I pack it, the coffee tastes watery. Also, BEWARE. There are no refunds allowed on this product. If I knew, I would have never taken the chance on this.

Do not buy this product. The coffee it produces is like water no matter how fine or tightly packed the coffee is.
