coffee capsule fit fot illy coffee machine maker stainless steel capsule pod

Make several coups of great dayly coffeeMoney saving and good for the environment

I just received my item today. However, I think it’s incomplete as I am missing the tool that packs the coffee in the capsule.

I didn't receive the tool to put pressure on the coffee inside the filter. Thank you

I have been using these daily for about a year. You need to grind the coffee fine to extra fine and use the fine mesh screens for the best results.While I really like the ILLY capsules, these make just as good a cup (or better) using great beans finely ground. Rather than spending $.60 a capsule and filling up a landfill with plastic, I'm now spending about $.25 per capsule for just as good a cup.These capsules are highly rust resistant and none of them have failed - so far.There is one downside...The screens are a pain to clean as coffee can get stuck in them. Even with that, they are still worth it.

I have the cheaper Illy machine, the one that looks like it was designed as a prop for a sci fi movie in the 1950's, and these (I have two so far) work perfectly in it.Just tamp the espresso powder down, insert it, and push the button. The machine can't tell the difference. It runs exactly the way it does with a plastic capsule and shuts off automatically. The result is just what you'd get from an official capsule, too, complete with a layer of frothy 'crema' on top.No tamper comes with this, so you can either buy one separately, or THE LID CAN BE USED AS A TAMPER. Just fill the cup to the top with espresso powder, level it off, and push the lid down. That will compact the coffee perfectly. It took me a while to figure this out, because I can be an idiot.You have to spend a few seconds cleaning these afterward. I scrape out as much of the powder as I can, then put them in the dishwasher. They'll either sit in the silverware holder or, if you have a machine with the third shelf, the shallow one at the very top, you can put them there.It's a little more effort than the throw-away cups, but well worth it. Cheaper coffee, just as delicious, and no more plastic waste.ETA: The only downside to them is that everyone who says the reusable metal filter is easily lost or damaged is absolutely right. Especially in the beginning. You're going to need a pack of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BTH439G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Replacements can be found on Ebay, too
