Nespresso is a leader in the pod or capsule coffee machine space. However, their espresso pods are quite expensive, especially when considering how many grams of coffee are actually inside. So today, we'll be looking at reusable Nespresso pods specifically for the Nespresso Original line to see if they can produce equally good coffee, for less money per pod.

I just leaving a note to apologise for not subscribing on my main 🙃 (sorry SwiftKey offered me that emoji for some reason & I just had to select it) main watch channel, because I am limited in the amount of subscriptions I can have. But seemingly because I comment here I am allowed more subscriptions, so I have subscribed here. But your going to get almost zero watch time from me!
But thank you, thank you, thank you for the video. I will have to see if I can buy these things in the UK because my wife will love them, even if its me who is going to probably have to make them up for her.
Now if you could tell me how to make an expresso from Dowe Egbarts instant coffee - you'll instantly go on the main channel subscriber list! I'm utterly addicted to Dowe Egbarts Medium Roast instant coffee. I make huge 2 litre pots of it & add lots of lo-salt so I get both my potassium & sodium chloride & I add my L something Magnesium (only ~$200 a Kilo). And then because I have ADHD (and take speed to relax) coffee is an absolutely wonderful bedtime drink that helps me off to a good night's sleep!
the only reason that coffee pods are use its for convenience, put one in press the button drink the coffee, this just ruins the whole purpose, you pretty much do the same thing with a normal coffee machine just have more work and more expensive, but a normal machine pour the coffee powder of your choice drink the coffeee and throw away the used powder 🤦♂

I own eight of these stainless steel capsules now. A lot of commenters seem to believe that filling them is difficult or time consuming. Actually, it's a breeze once you get the hang of it. I can probably fill six capsules with freshly ground coffee in about two minutes. Groggy me appreciates being able to whip up a 3-capsule cappuccino the next two mornings in no time at all. I roast my own coffee too so I'd be surprised if it even costs me $.05 per capsule.
I just started using metal reusable pods (metal lid as well) on my Nespresso Vertoline. After several attempts, I found both the taste and color were sooooo light. I tried to fill the pod half full or very full, press the powder gentally or very hard, and made no difference. Any tricks for metal pods?
@@antonyfu79 I don't use Vertuoline, I have the classic pods. Is your coffee finely ground enough? I would suggest playing around with that because, for me, finding the exact optimal grind was key. Maybe open a Nespresso -branded pod and try to mimic the grind and amount of coffee.
@@61hink Thank you for your advice! Many ppl say try not to grind too fine and don't fill too full as the wholes into which steam is injected are tiny and less efficient. I am going to play with it for several more days and let you know if I get better results.
@@antonyfu79 Did it get better?
@@dawill5217 the conclusion in short: worked but still cannot match the taste and crema compared to the original pod. After dozens of tries, I would say 1st, don’t grind too fine. 2nd, don’t over-fill/over-press. Press gently rather than hard would extract more. However, with same level of filling, original pod makes darker, richer flavored coffee. I would say 30%-40% better than this steel pod.
I got a free Nespresso base machine from my place of work years ago - and quickly found and bought these same reusable pods with stickers. I only used this system for about 6 months, but it got me into the coffee world, and I bought a french press and electric burr grinder to replace. This is a great start into the world of coffee for sure!
Love the progression!
That's actually a great idea . I've been experimenting on this and ended up with the same conclusion. Now I'm using my own fav coffee. Thanks for the video , Cheers!!
When I bought my Keurig so many years ago I used up the k-cups that came with it and never used them again. I bought the re-usable K-cups and used them since I gave the machine away. Re-usable Nespresso pods make sense but previous comments on the prep time for this particular machine raise a very good point.
I just found your channel and I really appreciate your approach. You are obviously knowledgeable and you come across as sharing information, not as boisterous or snobby. I also find your speaking voice pleasant and your tempo easy to listen to. I’ve subscribed. I look forward to learning more from you.
Thanks Marc, much appreciated!
That’s the first thing I noticed in the first 15 seconds of watching his video.
Wow! I never realized refillable pods exist for Nespresso. I just got an Inissia for Christmas and I will definitely try out the refillable system! Thank you!!!
Thank you. I just got the mini nespresso and was thinking of ordering this. I am now certain I wish to stay with the pods. Great video and explanation.
I bought these, and some fresh espresso ground coffee, to use in my Breville Essenza mini at work. And they’re great! thank you!
FYI, I use a Rocket Mozzafiato at home ☕️
I like how you explained AND compared things.
I also have an espresso machine (not fancy) for a reasonable espresso at home and I have a nespresso original which I use when Im in a hurry or lazy to prep. And if I want the real deal espresso, I go to my local coffee shop and enjoy it.
I also bought the refillable pods and been tamping them the same way. I used the metal caps but it's good that you pointed out the sticker covers. I have mine came with stickers but didn't bother to use them. I will after I've seen your video.
Thanks! Keep up the vids
How do metal caps work? Don't they damage the needles in the machines?
I did this for about a year. Glad someone is finally talking about it! it works surprisingly well. I ended up getting a real espresso machine tho. may as well go all in
realmente algo muy útil, parece que los fabricantes deberían haber lanzado algo como esto primero, pero se fueron por el camino equivocado
which nespresso machine did you get?
@@dani23dani85 breville pixie
@@smaskell how different is the Nespresso espresso and from the real machine
@@jerryx2000 at the end of the day you're tasting the beans more than anything. If you grind appropriately, you will taste what you should taste. However, it's certainly not going to be as concentrated so the consistency is different. True espresso does also extract a little differently so you can notice a difference but not super significant
I enjoyed your caveat. I enjoy good espresso from a proper shop with good equipment and fresh beans. I enjoy making coffees at home, on a lesser setup, but still "curated" to the best of my wallet's ability. A Nespresso pod machine is incredibly convenient though at work, where I do not want to have a bunch of equipment at my desk anymore. I enjoy them from time to time - not an every day thing, but they have their place.
I have a metal pod. But I found that removing the foil and coffee from a commercial pod works too with the foil covering. Since the commercial pods are slightly larger than the metal pods you can get a bit more coffee in them. Reusing the aluminum pods don't last forever but long enough to be a useful alternative.
I really admire how you're down to earth. It's the simplest things, like the hand funnel, that show you understand that not everyone can afford or be willing to invest in more coffee gadgets beyond the machine itself.
thank you :)
exactly the video I was looking for
I using a dolce gusto machine with a reusable pod and it's much easier than the nespresso system, because you can close it's built-in lid. Also you can use a paper filter if your coffee is a bit too course. I'm drinking the pellini n46 now and it's great because it's pre-grinded for leaver machines, so the flow is slow enough without choking the machine!
Very nice! Ty. Bought them. Looking forward to their delivery.
Thank you for the information. Being retired and on a budget saving where I can is a must.
It's a good option and well explained. I wouldn't go to the effort of filling pods all the time and I'd just use a normal coffee machine.
Best video I've found on these nespresso pods. Thank you
I think this would be a good step for someone who started with pods but wanted to delve deeper into the hobby. They could fiddle about with getting it to work right without spending a fortune, then decide if they want to go further. If they did stop there, at least they would be able to avoid giving more money to Nestle
Now I understand. Well, you could get a different hobby.
Hey Pia, how about letting up on the unnecessarily judgy comments? Seems like you’re on a bit of a roll
@@LifestyleLab_ Don't take it personal and you will be ok.
Don’t live life with a chip on your shoulder and so will you :)
@@LifestyleLab_ Maybe it is because your approach is so wordy and de-void of any good info that you think people are being critical of you. I was actually criticising the machine. But just now I watched James Hoffmans take on the Nespresso machine which I found fascinating. I would still never buy one of those, but at least it was interesting.
Fantastic video!! I do the same with a Cuisinart Keurig-style refillable aluminum pod. Your demonstration and explanation makes it very easy to make good copy from my Nespresso machine.
Very to the point and informative video. Thank you
Amounts of coffee in the Nespresso capsule vary according to type, as does the grind particulate size - this determines the brew and extraction time. 4g / smaller brewing chamber is quite a limiting factor - a bean to cup machine might be a better consideration.
2 to 3 pods per cup, making 8 to 12grams per cup. Works out ok if you move over to the reusable pods. Then they are just like small baskets.
I watched the whole process of your talk, the rhythm was very good, I listened very much.😄
Very informative and easy to watch!
I use an adapter on my K-cups machine to save money and put whatever brand I want in my machine. The coffee tastes great and cleanup is easy. I just save the grounds and scatter them on the grass as fertilizer. The dead spot on the lawn disappeared in only a month!
Big love for the video, really insightful! I've been given a Grindsmith reusable coffee pod but my Nespresso Essenza Mini machine doesn't seem to have enough pressure. I've tried lowering the tamp pressure and quantity of coffee though it still struggles! I've also tried cleaning the holes in the coffee pod to ensure no blockages. Have you got any tips dude?
Thank u for such a great video, I'm gonna try this too
Very usefull advise, just tried again get a good result
I have used the pods for a year and a half. There is a tip that gets these to work a bit better. Take regular ground coffee and put a little in first then add your espresso grind and fill the rest of the way.
What happens if you use your own grind 100%
Should work fine. Just put a course ground in first then add your fine espresso grind.
This is great. I used a Nespresso as a home before working from home and will continue to work large times from home. And going from a few pots a week. I'm now using wayyyy to much per day
well say and clear on how to get it done!
We've had these pods for about 4 years - best things ever!!!!
A lot of comments about going full on and buying an espresso machine - and that's totally valid, but for renters or travellers, having a machine you can take anywhere and have espresso quality coffee is a double bonus.
We consistently get a good crema and unburnt, strong, tangy coffee (depends on the bean, but mostly)
Highly recommend this - Yes, you can get 22mL of coffee out of the pod and a lot of times its better than what so called 'Baristas'will charge you $4 for
What grind did you use? I'm using a manual burr grinder and usually use the 2nd to finest setting on mine for aeropress but just got a used Nespresso for cheap and planned to refill some of the original Nespresso pods. Might need to order the metal refillable pods from this video though.
Finally someone address this, always wondered about how it works
Thanks for the very nice and educational video.
I would recommend a dolce gusto machine (I'm using one) if you want to have the versatility of using nespresso, dolce gusto and your own reusable pods. There are adaptors made to allow you to use nespresso pods on a dolce gusto machine, and you can easily find reusable pods either in plastic or stainless steel. Because dolce gusto has a much larger pod size, you can fill up to 8g of coffee rather than 4g in a nespresso pod.
Interesting video. IMHO, the k-cup system is actually better for people who want to use refillable pods. I have a coworker who uses the user fillable k-pods, and they are bigger, easier to fill, and there are reasonable ones available without using a sticker.
Excellent video. Thanks!
I still use my revo from day one its now 11 years old use it every day I made me some pods I can use and its so nice...
wow. i had no idea such a thing was made! lots of fuss, it seems, but i might try it out. thanks!
thanks so much for this informative video!! is there a pod you can recommend for keurig k-pod machines?
Love this and love your exactness
I like the idea, but part of why I use the Nespresso machines I have is so I don't have to do the thinking/deciding part of how to make a coffee. I simply select the pod with the origin or flavour I want and coffee appears. I'm not concerned about the waste side thanks to having several Nespresso boutiques near me where I can drop off the pods in their convenient bag to be recycled at the same time as I buy next batch of pods.
I totally concur having done exactly as you suggest but my pods are fully stainless steel including the front cover.
thankyou for this video really help me
Finally a decent video about nespresso refillable pods 🔥
Good instructions Thanks!
I never got a pod machine got an espresso machine and that time I take to make my cup of coffee is the ideal time to think about my day and plan it
Been using this system for a few years. Definitely agree: not espresso. But, it makes a pretty darn good coffee. I'd say above average (at least for me, I am no barista, just coffee addict). Pod makers will not like this video lol however, this just works. Awesome video. Now, to get some coffee!
what grind of coffee do you need to do? this video doesn't seem to say
@@rmleider Beggars can't be choosers, like they say lol so I use whatever I have available. I've used a fine grind and it has worked well. I imagine that too coarse will simply let the water run through. If you grind your own, it will be trial and error. In my case, I just want a quick way to get better "regular" coffee, so, whatever I have at hand. Sorry for the super vague response.
Espresso is possible. Not sure of the type you use, our one we use the 3 point outlet, pack it in well (4 levels of tamp), use a decent coffee (preground or grind your own) and we get, no kidding espresso thats in the 90th percentile in terms of quality. We recently had a store bought Kenyan espresso that was much better, but thats a rare find. Keep trying and you will get espresso out of it
@@innajankovic1749 hello coffee lover! I think we use a very similar process. What I meant by saying "not espresso" is that people should not expect a "real" espresso (like from a Gaggia or Breville machine). Now, I do stand by my comment that you will get a better quality coffee than from any regular coffee maker :)
I'm a caffeine addict as well!
Great video, just used your link!
I found it helpful to do a bit of a preinfusion. turn it on, wait for a sec, and then turn it off for maybe 10-15 seconds. you can figure out when based on the sound. you'll learn pretty quick.
this lets me grind finer and not choke the machine
@@smaskell Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering the same thing. Going to give this...a shot.
Good review, thanks.
interesting, thanks for the perspective ☕
I am using the reusable pods as well. I am refilling the pod on top of the coffee can, so the overflow ground will drop back to can.
Good video. Getting the proper grind is the tough part. And... my time is worth money and screw this.
I used to have an ECM Rocket and commercial burr grinder and now in my lazy old age, Nespresso in the am is good enough.
I no longer have a marble top bar in my living room, holding parties several times a year.
Sold my system to a guy opening his own cafe.
Nespresso, good enough.
Brilliant well informative video. Well done 👍
Thanks for the amazing information
Great video, very clear 👌
I love my icafillas reusable pods. Fast and easy to make coffee once you manage to grind it well.
Funny how you had to say play nice lol.. this was excellent I have been refilling mine the vertuo for 2 years! Love you can use whatever coffee you enjoy.
I like the underlining of not judging others making coffee just because being a coffee-science-nerd makes you think your coffee is the best (I personally think so). However the only thing I will always judge is the waste nespresso capsules produce - even those reusable ones have foil covers that can be avoided with so many other options of making coffee, that are almost as convenient as putting in a capsule and pushing a button. I think people should start to think about that.
I personnaly use a pressurized basket at work because I don't want to bring a grinder. So I do preground my coffee at home. I do think it is a good compromise.
Plastic waste is unavoidable
@@zakariakhamees is it tho? with capsules yes it is..
@@Schmiddis_focus even if you’re buying your own specialty coffee it’ll come with an often metal or plastic-lined bag along with a plastic pressure seal.
@@derkoekje sure, something has to seal it up unfortunately.. but those capsules are still more waste i guess :/
That was just the video I needed. I've been thinking of getting a Nespresso machine (prob the Pixie) to do lattes and caps, but since I grind my own beans, wanted to be able to utilize my coffee as opposed to expensive, older, and lower quality coffee. I don't have milk drinks often, but once in a while they taste good, and guests seem to like them. Thanks for a quality explanation of this.
Thank you for this! I have a Creatista Plus. Love the convenience of the pods with true steamed milk. I have about 10 of these Sealpods pods, if you fill them in one hit, very quick. The great thing about a pod machine is the convenience, and when you get the coffee balance right, anyone can use them. I use two, on the ristretto setting so I get a less diluted shot. When filled correctly, a slower pour is better. Less bitterness, thick crema. I cheat and have found if you cut regular foil circles, you fold them under the lip of the pod and it will work the same as the stickers. It is best if you heap the coffee in a bit, as it will make contact with the mechanism in the machine which punctures the pod foil with little squares. If you overfill the stickers, sometimes they come off. If you use quality coffee you grind yourself, most people will be very happy with the coffee, especially how quick and convenient it is, and using proper steamed milk really adds to it, so better than those Aeroccino machines.
Thanks so much for making this video, I do love the convenience of pods, but I hate the waste. I empty all coffee in the compost, ball up the foil lids and recycle. One day I might get a proper espresso machine, but the convenience of the pod in the morning will never be beaten. Being able to add good quality coffee makes a huge difference.
Creatista plus are so last year and subpar. Get a creatista pro
@@bastianbezon2687 Mate they are pretty much the same. Only only real differences are you get a touch screen, can program in drinks and you can brew the coffee and steam the milk simultaneously. For less money I'm happy with Plus.
@@kerryb1653 thats alot of difference. Besides, its an investment for some people and lose very little value with the years
I don't think you can really invest in an appliance. It could die tomorrow. Money gone. Besides, I got mine secondhand for $150 bucks. Can't complain about that!! Don't care about extra bells and whistles.
@@kerryb1653 not everybody has class, so it makes sense. It aint for you
Inspired by you and your work and the work of some others, I have decided to go all in...
Gaggia probably.
Gaggia is pretty unbeatable in the sub $1000 range 👍
Great video. Fun to experiment
I have a filter setup for my Keurig, works well I can control the amount of water and amount of coffee, and I use freshly ground. Should I try tamping?
I’ve only ever used reusable pods on my keurig (strongest Folgers) in a pinch in the morning.
BUT to my defense I have an espresso machine dearly loved and used daily.
Very helpful thankyou
Hey new sub here. This is exactly the kind of solution I was looking for. I was looking to buy ones with screw caps and filter so all parts are reusable. Have you tried them? Any issues? Thanks!
Looks like a nice shot.
Great review. Have u tried the metal pods with the lid & hinge?
I tried the solid metal lids, but I preferred these stick on caps as they better replicate the OEM pods
Nice luttle but important details you mentioned using customised pods. Are the custome pods make of steel or aluminium?thanks
I have the nespresso and use my own coffee.. I use their pods since it came with the machine, but bought foil tops stickers
Will give my reusable pod another try.. I gave up on it cos the coffee didnt taste as strong compared to the original pods
I don’t and can’t drink coffee but this has been very entertaining to watch.
I noticed that the company offering the stainless pods also offers a version with a stainless reusable cap too. So if it works (I've ordered it), that fixes addresses the issue of foil caps.
I found that the foil caps produced better results that the refillable lids
I've had a Nespresso machine for ages now. I generally don't actually buy pods from Nespresso though, due to them costing a ton more than the competition.
Heck, even other A-brands. They're also, generally speaking, never really 'on sale', as they only ever get sold via their own store.
Many other A-brand pods have gotten plenty of 33% to 50% discount runs in the supermarket.
Anyway ... a full blown espresso machine wouldn't be something I'm against, after all I like me some good coffee ... it's just something that I can't put anywhere here in the appartment.
A huge machine like that would eat up my kitchen's entire workspace, leaving me kinda troubled. I don't have the smallest machine, but a Nespresso machine does the trick well & doesn't take up too much space regardless. So it's a fine compromise.
Coffee's still expensive though.
you should check at the flair machines and varia hand burr grinders. They're half the price of a "proper" espresso machine but give a quite reasonable espresso (even compared to the pro barista I use for QC.) . At first they may seem seem labour intensive, but once you get the hang of them you won't go back... Still a messy business but...
As an owner of a Nespresso machine, great information about reusable capsules....
been using reusable pods for 7 yrs now save a ton on coffee since a can lasts longer and of course you can pick your brand of coffee
thanks, did you find one that use stainless steel lid and works? Want to avoid aluminum, plastic or even silicone for something I drink 1-2 daily.
I use reusable capsule mostly because it is more environmental friendly and I can get coffee of my own choice…however, I found the taste becomes very weak with more and more use of the same capsule… do I also need to change the reusable capsule or I must also get a tamper?
Fun fact, my country have some islands and they banned pods in them because they were starting to add up the huge volume of plastic they alredy need to take care for
Each time you make a pod and you say this is a pain, say to yourself (I am saving money here, and there isn’t any trash).🥰 I am budget minded, so this works for me.
Have you tried the WayCap all stainless steel (including the lid) pods? Based on what did your research show that the ones with the sticker are superior? Just curious because I'm considering testing out refillables myself! Great video btw :)
I've tried the all metal lids. Not as good, and they are hard to clean - the lids. Weaker coffee too. I recommend Sealpods, you can use the sticker foil lids, I cheat and cut foil rounds, works too, just make sure you heap the coffee in a bit. Use pods 2 for best results and only on ristretto setting each so the coffee is strong. Highly recommended. Been using them for ages. Expensive to initially buy, I picked mine up secondhand - I have about 10.
I use Barista Life refillable pods with a stainless cap. It fits perfectly, really I don’t understand buying refillable cups for environmental purposes and then still throw away a foil every time you use it. My coffee tastes great (I went from nespresso pods to niche brand pods to ground coffee in these refillables) and by the time my machine has started up I have already filled my first pod. They even came with a small tamp perfectly sized for these pods
My opinion is this. If one is getting a Nespresso machine for the intent of using their own coffee, I cannot see a stark difference between this and a dedicated espresso machine. It probably takes the same amount of time filling the reusable pods, and just like a dedicated espresso machine, YMMV with the results. I see the main difference between this and an espresso machine is the cleanup involved afterward. As for me, clean up takes no longer than five minutes on my BBP. But, if it takes more time to fill the reusable pods vs filing a portafilter, then the amount of time could be virtually the same. With that said, I would prefer using a dedicated espresso machine, but if I'm in a hurry, have one of these Nespresso machines also available for the pore filled pods.
Not to mention this refillable thing can only hold 4g of grounds.
That's about 1/3 of a proper coffee...what a joke...
I have 5 capsules they work great. I just make them up off one grind in the morning and get to enjoy Pellini cremoso at work for pennies on the pound :)
Very nice vid! Will consider this for my wife so I don't have to teach her how to use the espresso machine haha. 4g max is a bit of a bummer, though not really any better than normal pods anyways
Awesome video! I'm new to Nespresso machine. This pod size seems to match mine perfectly, but digging deeper, some pods are called capsule, appears larger (Vertuo)??!! Are there two reusable sizes out there on market place?? Thanks
Vertuo capsules are for a different lineup of machines
- Nespresso Original (this video)
- Nespresso Vertuo
Thank you for chapters
I think most people that buys Nespresso machines are like me. We don't want to wake up in the morning and fiddling with all that before having had coffee in our system, just don't have the energy for it. If we really want to fiddle with all that we would have went with the entry level espresso machine with steam wand and all that.
I think there's two main reasons to have a Nespresso machine - affordability and space. You can make good espresso quite easily (I would say almost as easily as Nespresso) if you have high-end equipment, but it's a very expensive investment. Proper espresso setups also take up a lot of space. If you're in a smaller apartment and you're tight on space it's going to be very frustrating to have everything in such a small space.
Instead I just stopped consuming caffeine and having the willpower to get through withdrawal... So I avoid the entire issue
Incredibly lazy take. I work 12s in the field for 24 days straight and can make coffee.
Refill your pod the night before - presto, you won’t have to “fiddle” in the morning, sleepyhead!
Prepare the pods at the evening before and the next morning it's the same as with the plastic ones.
I think Nesresso is fine .. I mean growing up as kids our parents always drank cheap coffee from the super market, boil some water and mix in a couple teaspoons of coffee, that was how
our parents drank coffee at home.
supermarkets are still full of these types coffees and millions of people continue to buy them and drink it this way everyday/
so for them, nespresso would be a more fancy way to drink coffee. nothing wrong with it at all as their taste buds are suited for this type of beverage.
we have to remember the majority of the world do not have refined tastes. store bought bread, cheap jarred coffee, cheap chocolate blocks, cheap ice cream, frozen foods, etc
trust me when I say, for the majority of people out there a NESPRESSO machine is a huge step up for like 80% of coffee drinkers out there...
I used this method and can report total success.
Lol I drink coffee from a 25$ pod machine. I did buy a couple reusable pods.
I would be interested if you would try one of those cheapy Walmart pod machines with a reusable pod and give best ideas on grind size or what the best reusablepod might be, my grounds seem to clog up the pod when I pack it down.
I have the machine that uses the bigger pods...any recommendation on what reusable pod to use in that case?
Never got them to work, otherwise I‘d use them all the time. Tried two different systems, nothing doing. Maybe I should revisit this, esp. the grind setting.
Thanks for the info. Why didn't you use the smaller espresso pour on the machine rather than the long pour, especially if you're concerned about the consistency being too light?
Because in this case a longer brew ratio was required to achieve proper extraction with this system. A lower yield would have resulted in a sour / under extracted shot.
Love the video, have a question about how to grind the coffee beans for nespresso. I don’t have coffee grinder so it’s really hard to explain to coffee shop about that😂
Not at all, just ask them to grind for espresso :)
I switched to DeLonghi Magnifica Evo and coffee beans.... Really great coffee.. Amazing
I loved my Nespresso machine, but it just seemed so wasteful and expensive. I am going to give these a try.
