Navaris Coffee Pod Recycling Tool (1 Piece) - Recycler for Espresso Pods - Aluminum Capsule Recycling at Home

Very simple and just works. Would be nice if the container was bigger; we apparently use a lot of these pods. Can hold about 10-12 worth of coffee grounds before needing to be emptied.

Even though this is a manual pod crusher (actually turns them inside out), it is certainly worth having, especially if you have as many coffee drinkers in your family as we do. We buy our favorite "capsules" on Amazon because it's less expensive than purchasing direct...most of the time. However, recycle bags are only available by direct purchase, so to recycle them, we use this item to clean them out, and it works great!I find that if you give it a good push and a tap on the counter, the majority of the coffee falls out. (Starbucks capsules need a little extra umph, but illy & Lors are the easiest). Then with a quick spray rinse, they're ready for the recycle bin, and you can just toss the grounds or compost them, whatever works for you.Just a tip...with Nespresso compatible capsules, you can only empty 12-15 at a time before you have to empty the cup and start on another batch. It takes me about 20 minutes to empty, rinse, and recycle about 50 capsules.I love being able to put them in my weekly recycle without having to pay for recycle bags (which should be free and more easily accessible). Pictures show how my setup works, but you do what's convenient for you. I use the towel for the "tap" on the counter for noise reduction because we also have late sleepers in our house 🤫, and also so I don't crack the cup 😉

I have a L'Or I use the espresso pods and larger coffee pods. This tool is made for the small espresso pods, not the larger coffee pods, but with a little more effort (but not by much) the tool also empties out most of the grounds making quick work of recycling both sizes.The only reason I knocked off the one star is that the grounds collection chamber is pretty small.

There are a few options out there when it comes to clearing your coffee grounds out of your nespresso original pods, and most of them are either tedious, or way oversized for most counter tops.This handy device is small, sleek and inconspicuous. It looks like a thin shaker bottle. When you're done with your pod, place it upside down in the inverter, put the lid on, and press with steady pressure until you feel the pod give way. Once it's all the way depressed, give the tool a few quick taps on your counter to shake off most of the coffee grounds still stuck to the pod, and then you can take the pod out and rinse off any residual grounds before placing it direcly in the recycling bin.Before this tool, I was using a knife and slowly cutting the foil lid off, and scooping the grounds out, which took a long time. With this handy tool, it takes about ten seconds to clear the grounds, and recycle the pod each morning.

Works great, elegant design, simple object. Place the pod in and push the plunger down and it very simple. Turns the pod inside out and pushes the coffee grounds into the reservoir. It works every time.

Small and easy to use, it fits the content of 8-9 coffee pods. It requires a bit of force to press the pods.

Check rules for your recycling. I got so excited at having an easy way to recycle espresso pods that I forgot there are size limits. (Cans are recyclable but detached lids get stuck in machinery.)

Tried with 3 different types of coffee pods. Takes a ton of force to push and doesn't get half the grounds out.
