CAPMESSO Reusable Nespresso OriginalLine Capsules: 2 Stainless Steel Pods | Use Your Own Coffee and Save on Pod Costs - Includes 2 Pods, 100 Foil Lids, Fill & Tamp Scoop and Cleaning Brush

It’s didn’t fit in my Nepresso D300 machine since couldn’t lock on the capsule brew chamber thing. When I looked at a used pod the center hole was about 5x’s larger. So the needle could not fit into this metal pod, being that the center hole was too small. I solved this problem using a Dremel with a very small drill attachment to enlarge the hole. The I used the same Dremel with a tiny file attachment to smooth down the hole. Took less than 5 minutes ( keep in foam while drilling so it doesn’t move around). Now I have a stainless steel reusable pod that works perfectly in my machine.

These reusable capsules have been a great addition to my daily coffee routine. The amount of money I save compared to constantly buying disposable pods really adds up, especially if you drink coffee every day. They fit perfectly in my Nespresso OriginalLine machine and feel sturdy and well made thanks to the stainless steel design. What I love most is the flexibility to choose my own coffee. It really makes a difference in both flavor and freshness. I do recommend investing in a good quality coffee because that’s what truly brings out the best results with these capsules. They’re easy to use once you get the hang of filling and sealing them, and the included lids are a nice bonus. Overall, these are a smart, eco friendly option that delivers great coffee while saving money in the long run.

This takes a little work to dial in. Firstly, let me say that if you don’t have a decent grinder (at least a decent conical burr grinder that can go pretty fine) skip this. A blade grinder won’t cut it and a cheap $50 grinder - even conical burr grinder at this price point - won’t cut it either. Cheap grinders just won’t grind fine enough nor have a consisten grind for decent extraction. So, make sure to grind pretty fine and consistently. Second, you’ll need a decent coffee scale (or something that has one-tenth of a gram precision) to measure the amount of coffee. I use 5 grams per capsule (when using darker roasts) and can push to 5.5-6 grams (medium to light roasts). Although the instructions say not to press like you’re filling a portafilter for espresso, you should give the capsule some light taps on the counter and still press it with enough pressure to allow about a 1mm space at the top, so it’s not a very light press like the instructions might have you believe. This will minimize channeling and help create pressure. I think they just want to make sure you don’t tamp like you would for an espresso machine, but it’s still a decent amount of “tamping” with the included scoop. Speaking of the scoop - do NOT use it to measure. You want consistency once you dial it in to your liking. So, again, use a coffee scale or other precise food scale. Finally, before placing the seal, make sure there are no coffee grounds on the rim. Rub around the rim with your dry finger to remove any coffee grounds in order to ensure a tight seal because pressure is important. If any grounds are stuck on the rim, you just won’t get a good seal and lose pressure leading to uneven or low extraction. In the end, it takes some work, but so does any decent cup of coffee. Experiment and find the amount or roast you like. It works well for us. In my pictures I compare Peet’s Coffee to one of these pods. I was still dialing it in so it’s a little lighter at this point but worked really well!

I got this so that we could stop wasting so much with offbrand plastic ones and even original or Starbucks which can be recycled. (Still have to ship those back). First, not as easy to fill as I had hoped. Having to line up a rubber thing on top and then the sticker to hold it all together. That wasn’t fun. Then it just falls through half the time. So you have to slightly close the lever so it stops in place. Then to shut it and use it…I thought I was going to break my machine. I have 4 machines. One is offbrand. It was impossible to shut all of them. This sucked. Waste of money. Skip it. Don’t break your machine (or worry you are going to).

I liked that these were easy to refill and the stickers were good quality. They came off cleanly after the pods were cool. I was even able to reuse some disposable pods. The reusable pods slip right through the top Into the used pod spot. They work great when you can get them into the proper position. I prefer to just reuse the disposables with the included stickers. The pods make good crema on the top the espresso. I find packing it a bit tighter makes better crema

I have bought two of these sets (a total of 4 capsules) as there are 2 coffee drinkers in my house. We often drink more than one cup, and having to clean it out just for a second cup in the same morning was too big of a first world problem to deal with, but I digress. I have been pleased with the performance of these little capsules. The only downside (which it’s more of just a case of “watch what you are doing”) is that there is a small silicone ring that sits below the lip of the rim. On a few occasions, the ring has stuck to the inside of my nespresso machine, and I had to retrieve it with a kabob skewer. Not a huge deal, but it needs to be on the capsule in order to get a good seal while brewing. One other thing, make sure you use well ground coffee. I’m not a sommelier of coffee, but I have experimented with different grinds. I usually keep various French roasts on hand with regular grind, and I also like the cheap Cafe Bustelo espresso ground coffee as well. The Cafe Bustelo is the optimal grind size in my experience. Using standard ground coffee does not produce any crema at all. Since I bought two of these sets, I have a pretty large supply of the foil disc-stickers. I haven’t had to re-order these foil discs yet, so that could be an issue in the future if they stop making them. I may try to use just regular aluminum foil to see how that works, and I will update this review if I find that it is a success or not. Don’t hold your breath on the update. I will try, but no promises. 🙂

I tried Capmeso on my Creatista. One was with Capmeso pod and the other was a refilled nespresso pod and used one of the sticker lid. I didn't overfill and just pat it down as I was filling. The lid stick really well and there was no residue at all. One thing I noticed was it was much harder to push the stainless steel, I was even hesitant to do it but it went well. Compared to the original pod, it is much shorter so it wont damage the puncture part of the machine. Both espresso came out delicious and same crema amount. I do notice that there were some coffee grounds in my cup on both of them. I emptied my tumbler in a bowl so you'll see it in the last picture. I used fine grind espresso, Cafe Bustelo in particular. I will try and use medium and in between medium-fine next time. Would I recommend this? Definitely. I can use any coffee beans of my choice and no guilt feeling of having to use non-recyclable plastic pods.

I bought these on Amazon to use in my combo Nespresso/Keurig machine and I am NOT disappointed! They're easy to use, the instructions are good, particularly the grind recommendation for coffee beans. I normally buy Lavazza pods and thought I might buy the coffee to use in these, but I have a bag from an upscale coffee shop at the mall where I work. I tried them in the Keurig pods but didn't like it much. However they're perfect in the Capmesso pods! Now I get to enjoy this amazing coffee the way it was meant to be. The pods are also easy to retrieve and to clean; the lids come off very easily even after perforation by my brewer. I love these and will definitely be buying more lids to keep using them. Instead of spending $0.60 per pod I'm down to about $0.02 per cup of espresso and that's after buying the 2lb bag! Do yourself a favour and save your coffee money!

I`m happy that I ordered it as now I can drink my favorite coffee, not the one which they out in other pods. The process is quick when u make a habit and it worth it. The water is coming a bit more slow than in one time use pods but it`s fine. I was trying to press the coffee inside more and less and realized that it should not be pressed to hard than it works better. I will buy more such to have them ready and just to use.

Works perfectly with my Nespresso Breville. I still have to find the perfect ground to make the best coffee but very economical and easy to use.

Fonctionne bien avec ma machine nespresso, la pellicule est parfois difficile à enlever, la colle reste sur le pod
