CAPMESSO Reusable Capsules for Nespresso OriginalLine, 6pcs Refillable Pods - Stainless Steel Coffee Pods Compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine Machine (6 Pods + 100 Lids + Wood Storage Tray)

I recently started using the CAPMESSO Espresso Foils and Refillable Capsules, and I’m really impressed with how convenient and eco-friendly they are. These seal lids fit perfectly on reusable coffee pods, allowing me to enjoy my favorite espresso blends without wasting disposable pods. The foils create a tight seal that keeps the coffee fresh during brewing, and I haven’t experienced any leaks or messes. They’re easy to apply and remove, making the whole coffee-making process smoother and more enjoyable. Plus, being able to refill the capsules means I can experiment with different coffee grounds, saving money and reducing waste. The quality of the foils feels durable and reliable, and they work great with my espresso machine. If you’re looking to reduce your environmental footprint while still enjoying delicious espresso, these refillable capsule seal lids are a fantastic option. Highly recommended for anyone who loves coffee and wants a sustainable, cost-effective solution!

This set of reusable capsules is amazing! Right out of the box, I cleaned them quickly with just hot water and dish spray, and then immediately tried one out. I was able to fill and seal it within a minute or so. It worked in my Nespresso Pixie machine exactly like the store capsules. They seem to fit my machine perfectly. I did make sure the little rubber gasket was in place, sung against the underside of the capsule lip. I also rubbed around the edge of the foil sticker to make sure it was fully sealed. I use Bustelo espresso coffee and it made an excellent lungo. I am including photos of the capsules and comparison to a store bought Bustelo one. I also am including a comparison of the lungo shot between the two capsules. I think I didn't fill the 2nd capsule as much as the first and it wasn't quite a strong, so I'll need to make sure and fill it better. Also, I figured out it's less messy to fill the capsules one at a time over the bag of coffee grounds instead of trying to fill them while they're sitting in the little tray. I may try it next time with my digital kitchen scale and see if I can get it more consistent. I think these will be very durable and save lots of money for my coffee and I MUST have the boujee coffee.

A few years ago, I invested in the Nespresso Creatista Plus, hoping I could learn to make lattes at home since I was completely hooked on Starbucks and Dunkin’. At first, the machine mostly just sat there. I could never quite replicate the drinks I was spending so much money on — so it collected dust for a while. Eventually, I started getting better at it. The Nespresso pods make really great coffee, and I began experimenting more. Around that time, my boyfriend, who’s from Louisiana, introduced me to Café du Monde coffee. I bought a can for him and figured I’d need a French press or maybe find a way to use it with pods. That’s when I came across these reusable Nespresso pods. I hesitated for months, thinking I’d eventually just get a French press. Then, after we visited Café du Monde in person and I tasted the coffee there, I knew I had to try it in my Nespresso machine. I finally ordered the stainless steel pods — and they work perfectly. Now, I’m making the best coffee I’ve ever had. I use a HyperChill cup, pull two shots of espresso, add about 1.5 tablespoons of Torani French Vanilla syrup, oat milk and cool it all down in the hyperchill cup It’s incredible. My boyfriend and I used to spend several hundred dollars a month on coffee, but now we’re both obsessed with the drinks I make at home. Even my daughter loves it. She’s a fan of coffee too — I give her decaf — and she tells me I make the best coffee in the world. I highly recommend these pods. I’ve been using the 6-pack version with aluminum sticker lids, and they’ve held up great. I recently saw that there’s a newer version made entirely of stainless steel — I haven’t tried those yet, but I’m seriously considering investing in a second set. Honestly, making the pods is part of the fun now. If you’re on the fence about trying reusable pods I highly recommend them, they are worth their weight in gold.

First off, this DOES work with the L'OR Barista machine. I did have to pack the fine grind in, to reach 5g of coffee. The description says 4g max but no way does 4g make a decent shot. 5g was acceptable but took some work to fit that much in there. Here is where my biggest concern occurs. While this, in theory is a great product, the cost effectiveness has me second guessing my purchase. Yes, you can brew your own coffee, your own choice of beans and potentially save some money but when you break it down to the actual specifics, you probably aren't saving any money. Let's use a 16oz brick of Cafe Bustelo, which IMO is a very good pre-ground espresso AND a more affordable option than beans from a coffee house. 454g of coffee in this brick will yield approximately 90 5g shots. That comes out to about $.09 per. The foil lids are about $.06 per. So we are at $.15 using a lower priced, store bought pre-ground coffee. The locally roasted beans I bought, work out to $.15 per 5g so $.21 per shot, including the foil lid. Take into account the cost of your time (labor) to fill each pod, clean each pod, you have already exceeded what you can buy pre-filled pods for. Now, I am sure you may be doing this for environmental reasons too and that is perfectly well and good but if you are doing this to save money, don't because you are not. I am still on the fence whether or not these will be sticking around. Either way, the kit is of good quality and is easy to use.

After trying other Nespresso capsules, I think these really nailed it. They’re super practical and the quality feels great. They don’t fall out or slip from the holder, and the stand they come with is surprisingly sturdy, you can even flip it and the capsules stay in place. They keep the coffee fresh, and the brew comes out nice and thick, unlike other ones I bought before where the water leaked from the sides and barely worked. These actually do what they promise.

After tiring of spending too much $ on name brand capsules, and getting mixed results trying many of the varieties of non-Nespresso capsules, I decided to look into reusables. I read through a bunch of different reviews, on multiple listings / brands, and decided to try these Capmesso capsules. I've only brewed about 10 pods total, but I'm already convinced these are great & worthy of the 5 star review. I use a Delonghi Pixie machine (the one with Aluminum sides), and the only problem I've seen is low flow / "dripping", but I've also seen this on plenty of the off brand capsules, so I don't think it's an issue with the capsules, and seems to be more an issue of the grind / amount / tamp. I'm going to experiment with different coffees, but so far I've tried the ground Cafe La Llave & Café Bustelo "bricks" and am having surprisingly good results with both, right off the bat. I've not yet got it as good or better than Nespresso capsules, but I'm confident with a little experimenting, I'll get there very soon. Like ANY great espresso, the key is going to be the right grind, correct amount of grounds, and proper tamp pressure, but the pods themselves work great! I'm going to continue to experiment with different pre-ground coffees, as well as my own grinds, to perfect things, and will try to update this review once I've got things a bit more consistent w/ my machine. Another reviewer suggested buying Nespresso or Starbucks pods to open them up and try to mimic the grind / fill / tamp, and I think that's exactly what I'm going to do next. ALSO OF NOTE: The foil lids leave NO residue and are very easy to remove (two common complaints I've seen on multiple products' reviews). BEFORE YOU BUY (OR AVOID BUYING): There is an image showing supported Nespresso machines, and unless you click through to the last photo, you might not see it. You should visually confirm for yourself your machine is "supported" before using these (or any other brand / style of capsule), but the models listed there are: PIXIE / INISSIA / LATTISSIMA / LATTISSIMA PRO / ESSENZA MINI (2 different varieties) / CITIZ

Don’t really work. Unless you have a way to press the coffee in using a machine this won’t work. The coffee ground ends up being too lose for the crema to work.

I purchased a Nespresso machine and realized the coffee pods are expensive. So I decided to purchase this because of the ratings. I am very happy with it. I have no problems with coffee grounds coming out or the seal breaking. I loved it so much that I purchased another one.
