mycoffeestarReusable Coffee Capsule Lids - Refillable Pod Lids for Nespresso Vertuo, Compatible with All VertuoLine Machines, Practical & Cost-Saving Solution, 4 Count

We have been using these lids for years.They work well, save money.They are easy to clean.The coffee ground goes into my compost bin.Win win situation.

This product is ONLY THE LIDS! Does not come with the pods to fill the coffee in! Misleading!! Then you’ll see in the photo, the machine punched a new hole in the center lid! The machine is only supposed to punch thru thin foil, not thru plastic lids!!! These lids don’t line up correctly & my expensive machine is now broken!!! The locking mechanism on closing the machine lid, is now NOT WORKING!I know they won’t pay to replace my nespresso machine & I could care less about the refund for these lids! I just want everyone to read this & NOT BUY THEM!!

This product is awesome need to put less coffee for better flow until you get the hang of it. Always use expresso grind for flow and maximum taste the more course the less flow thru the coffee. Check the pod after use to see the flow pattern thru the grinds. Foil reuseable pods do work well but if you over fill the pod with coffee you may have to use another foil lid. Metal reusable pods I have not been able to get the right flow thru the grinds, so weak coffee. This product has a spout in the center that seems to help with the flow thru the coffee grinds. The lid fits for a perfect seal plus spout equals better flow, better taste and maximum out of coffee in the pod.

These work as intended but the amount of coffee you can add is almost as much as a smaller capsule. That means that the drink you make is actually a different one. A regular coffee capsule brews as much as a double expresso and either results in a lighter brew or it can be brewed as a double expresso (by double tap). A double expresso capsule amounts to a single and results more into a Lungo. The Gran Lungo size comes out more like an Americano and I would not use this at all for a single expresso. Also the occasional coffee grinds because you have to use expresso or medium ground coffee to get a decent crema because the fit is not 100 percent perfect but it saves money.

The 'cap' doesn't "click" in place and doesn't stay in place. The best piece of this set was the little razor that is used to cut the 'foil' off the original capsule. Instead of these, I recommend buying the foil lids (different product). Once the original foil is removed, it's easy to stick the new foil to the capsule base, and I didn't spill coffee grounds everywhere.

You will save tons of money! Perfect everytime when you learn how. Keep favorite size disposable pods (Razor knife included/safe and easy). Pick your favorite coffee beans. Pulse grind them very fine for at least 45 seconds to a minute. Don't worry about over grinding. Must be very fine to get nice froth. Lightly pack coffee grids in pod with spoon or measuring cup -depth of lid. Make sure to put lid upside down (yep). Press lid (securely) on grinds level with pod top. Follow directions. Easy! It's all about the appropriate packing of grinds in the pod & thinness of your grind. Absolutely, NO taste & froth loss. Make sure after opening your bean bag to enclose it in a large ziplock & depress the air to keep beans fresh before next grind. You may grind a whole cup full of beans for next brew, but keep grinded coffee beans in a air tight container. This way you don't have to grind everytime for individual pods. A cup will generally last a week, depending on how much coffee you drink

Works great!!! And what a money saver. I had several lbs of coffee grinds left over from the holidays that were given as gifts, left behind from parties, etc. They always end up sitting on a shelf in the pantry unused....but this gadget allows me to make my own Nespresso using coffee grinds I already have. As long as you don't overfill it, it works great!

Lids pop out spilling coffee all over. I would recommend the silicone lids
