Reusable Espresso Capsules Refillable Coffee Pods Stainless Steel Cups Filters Compatible for Nespresso Original Line Machines with Aluminum Foil Seals Stickers Lids (2 Cups+100 Lids)

First off, don't expect your espresso to taste like the expensive capsules, and you'll be fine. I buy ground coffee such as Pilon, LaLlave or Cafe Bustelo, even for my regular coffee maker. I enjoy the robust flavor. That being said, the taste isn't going to be the same as the pre-packaged (expensive) capsules, but I like it. These little cups are made of sturdy aluminum. The package comes with a measuring scoop, cleaning brush, and stick-on lids (easy to apply). They're easy to fill and easy to clean. The best part, for me, is that there's never a problem with the flow, no bent or crushed capsules. You can use whatever coffee you like, and can easily change it up if you want a flavored coffee or decaf. I'm happy with my purchase. It's definitely worth trying, because, if you don't like it, you're not out that much money.

These refillable pods work perfectly with my Nespresso Essenza Mini! I’ve never had a trouble with them being too tight in the compartment. I get my coffee ground to an espresso grind and it creates a nice crema when it brews.Other posters have commented that the glue sticks to the pods, but I find that it doesn’t happen if they cool down before you peel the sticker off. I usually let them cool down on the counter and I’ve even run them under cold water to cool and had similar results. Almost no sticky residue. Any residue that is there is east to just wipe off with a paper towel. I also find them pretty easy to fill, as long as you do it over a wider container like a bowl or Tupperware. I’ve used these so much I’m about to buy refill stickers.

The only issue I had is that the steel pods were a tiny bit smaller than one-time use pods I've used in the past. The reusable pods will readily fall into the "used pod compartment" if they are dropped the port on the espresso maker like one might do with a one-time use pod. I figured out the right technique after about twenty seconds and these work very well.With the Ambiano espresso maker, lower the top lever a bit to "catch" the reusable pod so it doesn't fall through the machine and tilt the smaller end of the pod downward somewhat. The lever can now be pushed all the way down, locking the pod into place. The pod is now ready for use!Getting the "correct" amount of coffee grounds (fine/espresso grind, of course) for a creamy and strong shot took a little trial and error but it's probably more a matter of taste than a set method.I also appreciate that this product includes 100 lids and buying more doesn't require buying more pods. The lids are easy to peel from the wax paper and easy to place on the pods.

Been using them for a while. You have to make sure the coffee is grinded right, otherwise, it won't taste great. Stickers seems to be fine. Fir perfectly. Good value.

I bought this for my mixpresso machine so I wouldn’t have to buy as many pods. And it works great, super easy to use. Only bad thing is u have to buy disposable covers as lids but they are cheap enough that it isn’t a bad thing. It’s still cheaper this way with having to buy that. Easy to clean, easy to store, very easy to use, so cute and small. I’m sooooo happpy I got this!

I really wanted these to work and tried with different types of coffee. I have a Nespresso machine and they just didn't. They're shorter/smaller than the original Nespresso pods so the holes were never punctured correctly, only a few of them , and no way of making coffee like that. The fit was just off for my machine.

Works with my Ninja barista brew system but the fit wasn’t quite right- needed finagling to close, sometimes got stuck post brew trying to release pod…after the first few uses the rubber seal under the rim started coming off- such a tight fit in the machine the machine pulled it off. Sometimes left behind in the machine and had to find it. Pods are useless without them- the water leaks around it and the brew is watery. And you cannot buy replacement gasket seals. Finally gave up and found another brand that is almost exactly the same design but a hair smaller and fits perfectly.

The media could not be loaded. I'm really loving these little reusable pods. I have a Hamilton Beach Flex Brew and so far, they work well in there EXCEPT, it does seem harder to open the lever, but it's still doable and the pod ejects every time (I've had problems with the Bestpresso pods ejecting). My only concern here is more wear and tear on the the machine and the lever action.Otherwise, this is relatively easy to use. There is a bit of a finicky time (learning curve) puting on the sticky lids, but the more I've done it, the easier it has been. The tab makes it easy to pull off after use.It is brewing well in my machine and I'm very pleased with the end result espresso. The flavor and strength are on point.I do wish there were reusable lids (not sure it's possible on this style of Nespresso pod) given the reason I have stayed away from pod style brewers is because of the waste....but the reusable features of the metal pod makes it worth it and tossing/buying these little lids is not too bad.
