CAPMESSO Reusable Coffee Capsule Lids for Reusable Nespresso Pods Vertuo, Food Grade Silicone Caps for Any Sizes of Refillable Vertuo Pods with Scoop and Brush (5PCS Silicone Caps)

These are great, I really don't understand the negative comments at all! As instructed, dont overfill them, I'd say half a cm below the rim. Pop it in the machine, and bobs your uncle, perfectly brewed coffee! They wash easy and I've reused mine a few times now. They're a perfect fit. I cut the foil off of the pods, refill with a coffee from the shop and pop the lid on. Worked everytime. Good value for money! Easy to use! And I love me anything thats better on the environment!

Really good item.Perfect for reuse in machine.Works really well.saves the environment as can be reused time and time again.Fantastic quality and value for money.So easy to clean ready to use again.

Great for reusing the nespresso pods, tight fit.

These have been working perfectly for my vertuo machine! I just cut the lid off the pods and reuse them with these rubber lids! Works a treat and saves a fortune!

Waste of Money I have no idea how anyone else has got these caps to work. If you have got these to work I would love to know how you have managed. I have tried making the holes bigger, but still won’t allow the water to flow through and if I continue, I fear I’m going to damage the coffee machine. I had hoped to use by own blend in the capsules, but more chance of landing on the moon than getting these to work.

I bought these for my nespresso vertuo pop. I've emptied some of the foil pods, refilled with my own finely ground coffee, put this lid on carefully, and it's worked very well. This is great as I find the bought in pods make too strong a coffee for me. I used to make cafetiere coffee and use the same amount I put in that. Perfect. No more heart pounding brew!! It's a lot lot cheaper to refill. One thing I read in another review before buying was to cut the top foil off with scissors. I found this extremely messy. My recommendation is to trim the foil off with a stanley knife with sharp blade. I found then I could use the edge of the pod, run the knife around using the lip inside edge as a rest for the blade and cleanly remove the foil. I'm composting the coffee around my roses primarily, and also adding it to my compost heap.

It is compatible with Nespresso Vertuo machines, and allows to reuse the original Nespresso Vertuo pods of any different size (so no need to buy empty pods online), so can prepare expressos or longer coffees. Allows to use any blend of coffee. Don’t damage the machine. I used in the past metallic capsules to fill with ground coffee, seal and insert in the machine, but they would allow only for making the same size of coffee (larger cups) and they would need to be carefully placed to prevent damaging the machine.

Really good product works well - follow instructions and you’ll be fine. Below is a guide to how I used the product.I have also attached pictures to this review. You’ll have to experiment with what coffee blends you use and which Vertuo used capsules you want to use. Because of the barcodes on the capsule you’ll get different results. I have a Vertuo Next machine. First I made one cut across a Stormio mug capsule. Peeled off the foil in two halves. It’s impossible to remove all the tiny bits of foil around the outer edge because it’s stuck so well and is stuck to the plastic which covers the bar code underneath the capsule - so don’t be too OCD about it - just peel the foil off where the silicone lid sits. Cleaned the old coffee out and rinsed cap. Dried and filled capsule to 4mm below top of capsule. I used a lavazza rossa blend for the Stormio Mug 230 ml capsule. “IMPORTANT” - you have to leave room in the capsule for the silicone lid to fit into the capsule. Fill coffee to 4mm below the top. If you overfill with coffee, when using the machine water which is under pressure tends to push the lid up and out of the capsule and the machine will fault If this happens, just flick the lever to the off position - remove capsule - and run a cleaning cycle and try again, with less coffee But don’t panic it won’t break. Make sure the silicone lid is flush / flat and not bulging with coffee and you’ll be ok. If you put too little coffee in you’ll just get a weaker cup of coffee but it won’t hurt the machine and it won’t fault. Because it’s made of silicone I don’t think these lids will be able to damage anything and the machine prongs that go into the capsule don’t even touch the silicone lid on the outer edge by the look of it where the holes are. It’s the main reason why I chose a silicone lid and not a metal one. These lids have not made my machine leak even once and we’ve used it dozens of times already. We’ve even found we haven’t needed to run extra cleaning cycles - it will save us a fortune and already is - fantastic product I would highly recommend. Well done to the manufacturer.

Absolut begeistert! Es klappt wunderbar. Der Kaffee hat eine schöne Crema (wie bei den original Kapseln) und meine Maschine hat keine Probleme die Kapseln zu erkennen. Gut, für die Umwelt und natürlich den Geldbeutel 🫣 Ich benutze immer noch Flavour Drops, dann braucht man keine aromatisierte Nespresso Kapseln :) Ich kann den Jacobs Krönung Kaffee vom Mahlgrad und Geschmack sehr empfehlen.

I found nothing difficult about using these, but here's what I did. I used Lavazza Espresso Italiano. That is obviously a fine grind. The maker suggest medium-fine but this is what I had on hand, and it was a coffee I liked. That Lavazzo is South American Arabica coffee. I normally use Nespresso Stormio, which is also South American Arabica, so it was a fair comparision. Now, Nespresso's overwhelming strong suit is grinding technology, specifically getting exactly the right particle sizes for their process. It is likely impossible for a home grinder to duplicate a Nespresso coffee grind exactly. That said, I removed the used foil tops from some Stormio capsules. I could have used any of the 7.7 ounce capsules, like Odacio, since all will be barcoded for proper pumping time and spin-out. I cut an "X" in the center of the foil, so I could peel each quarter off. I did not obsess about getting every sign of the former adhesive off the rim, but I made sure that, if there was anything left, it was the merest trace and that there was no more actual foil. I filled each empty capsule to the recommended level, which is as much as you can load and still not have the holes in the silicone lid press into the coffee. I did it by guess, and I suspect that as long as you get close, you're okay. I gently pressed the coffee down, but not nearly so much as you would with an espresso machine. Just lightly tamped it. With the included little brush, I brushed the stray coffee off the rim and off the inside where the silicone lid ridges will be sealing the lid to the sides of the capsule. The silicone lid just barely snug fits inside the rim of the capsule. Update - Been using these for a some months, and there has been no deterioration. They fit as they did when new. I inserted the prepared capsule into the Plus and brewed a cup. The machine behaved normally. I drink mine with half and half, and the result was not far off of the Nespresso version. Maybe a bit different, but neither measurably better or worse. Quite acceptable. While not everything is entirely equal, the Nespresso extracts approximately the same amount of coffee as an average espresso machine. But it's not an esepresso machine, and it's not reasonable to expect it to produce true espresso. I did some calculation based on the standard Stormio price and the Lavazzo 8 ounce four-pack The Lavazzi can holds 226.8 g of coffee. (currently $5.92) A Stormio pod has 12.5 g. So you get 18 pods per Lavazzo can, assuming you are filling them similarly. I did not weigh what fit in the capsule. With these numbers, I found found that while Stormio is $1.25 per pod, the DIY filled pod held about $0.33 worth of Lavazzo. So $1.25 versus $0.33. For me, that's quite good. If I buy Lavazzo in the 2.2 pound bag, the cost will go down even more. If you are an experienced and highly critical connoisseur, your judgment and subjective experience may affect your opinion of the value of the savings. But, so far, it's been good enough for me to make it at least a part of my Nespresso routine. I bought five silicone lids initially, and I will buy at least another five. Of course, once you have cleaned out a pod, it's good indefinitely, so long as you don't damage it. This is from very brief experience, so I will report back if something turns out different. UPDATE: I have now used these for maybe a dozen cups. Still good and no difficulties. I decided I was being too conservative with coffee quantity and began bringing them up to the 1/8" clearance recommended with no bad effects. I don't obsess about weight, but a proper pod full weight 12 grams. I found little residue left in the machine's pod carrier and found no debris when I did a flush. And I did not find that the Lazazza grind in any way clogged the tiny holes in the caps. I note that the expended Stormio grounds are noticably darker than the Lavazza Espresso. I think this can only mean that Nespresso Stormio is a fully dark roast and that Lazazza is medium. And I can taste the less bite in the Lavazza. That is, of course, taking it into subjective difference. I will also this week pick up a dark roast espresso in my local grocery chain (HEB) store brand. They're pretty conscientious about their house brand coffees. It's a frankly dark roast, and I expect it move more to the taste of Stormio. I believe Lavazza's grind to be medium fine, consistent with their suggestions for moka, filter or press. I don't know grind I will fine in the store espresso. I did observe that the system spin both the Stormio and Lavazza to the same degree of dryness. Visually, the coffee being expelled has about the same color with both. Also, both produce similar foam. Stormio has a little more liquid produced during the final spin-out, probably because it's not precisely Nespresso's grind profile. But still a successful undertaking, and I bought ten more caps. I'm getting more efficient at filling pods, and it's not much of a burden for the $1.25 versus about $0.35 difference. I did up ten fresh pods tonight while my casserole was baking. ANOTHER UPDATE: I wanted a darker roast and bought "espresso" dark in my grocer's label. There was no grind information on the label, but I would call it fine, bordering on medium-fine, but definitely more coarse than the Lavazza Espresso. (Medium-fine is the usual recommendation for reusable Vertua pods.) But the same quantity loaded into pod, produced a coffee that was pretty much what I expected for an dark roast compared to a medium roast. It had some of the Sotrmio character. So, I would say from this small sample that neither the machine nor these reusable pods are all that sensitive to grind size, so far as functioning without clogging or extracting poorly, although I would not go any coarser and would grind to fine, if I was doing the grinding. You're not going to nail true espresso with a Nespresso, but a reasonable approximation. At least a better resemblance to espresso than the tea from the Heart of Gold's automated kitchen was to Arthur Dent's tea. Another little update. Got in a kilo bag of Lavazza Gran Riserva beans. I used the OXO grinder set on four, and I think I hit a good spot. Produced a grind not far from the Lavazza Espresso mentioned before and made good coffee. So far, they have handled fine to medium grinds without clogging. Still. in the 30 cents a 7.7 ounce cup price range.

Prodotto fantastico per chi possiede una macchina da caffè NESPRESSO Vertuo Pop e vertuo Next sia essa de longhi o krups. Questi coperchi permettono di riciclare le capsule all’infinito. L’utilizzo è facilissimo bastano soltanto alcune accortezze per evitare problemi ed avere un caffè di qualità usando la miscela di caffè in polvere preferita. Funziona con tutte le misure di capsule (consigliate quelle medie). Le capsule vanno riempite facendo poi aderire bene il coperchio in silicone. Non pressare il caffè all’interno prima di mettere il coperchio ma livellare leggermente con il dosatore. Con la capsula più piccola bisogna fare in modo che il caffè sia dosato bene perché sia quando è poco che troppo tende ad aprire il coperchio facendo fuoriuscire il caffè. Io ormai uso questi coperchi da due anni e produco circa 20 caffè al giorno. Questo prodotto mi sento di consigliarvelo per diversi motivi. Risparmio economico. Rispetto per l’ambiente, qualità del caffè espresso (migliore mai bevuto con una crema altissima)

Received mine today, previously purchased the 'recaps' which uses self adhesive foil covers. This is a far simpler system, simply clean out your old pod (taking care not to scratch the bar code), refill with the coffee of your choice, then simply put one of thse silicone covers over the top. Does not affect the taste of the coffee, quick and easy to put on, just as easy to removed an re-use. Couldn't be happier.

Perfecto para usar tu café con Vertuo
