RECAPS Aluminum Foils Lids Seals to Reuse Coffee Pods Reusable Coffee Filter Refillable Filter Compatible with Nespresso VertuoLine Vertuo Only 100 Pcs 62mm (Coffee Pods NOT Included)

If you start with a clean pod, these will stick perfectly. Once in place, I like to run my thumbnail carefully around the rim of the pod to make sure it's fully stuck down. Grind size is critical, as is overall volume of contents. I disassembled a good pod to sample grind size, and on the 230ml capsule, the contents weighed 13.06 grams. So that's what I load in and am having zero problems. One thing to keep in mind, the little tab on the foil should not cover the barcode on bottom of pod, or it can cause a malfunction. So simply bend it upwards so it rests on top of the pod. A great product that lets me use my own fresh custom roast and save money all at the same time. A win win!

I got a Nespresso vertuo and after much research, decided that Nestle wouldn't be getting a dime from me for their "special" pods. I watched a few YouTube videos and read many Amazon reviews, and decided to order these. I'm so glad I did. They work like a charm. I've never experienced a pod exploding like a few have mentioned and my coffee is turning out great. Actually even more AMAZING since I'm able to put in my locally roasted blends, freshly ground and packed in by yours truly, rather than the overpriced crap they sell that sits on shelves for months. I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob from Seattle, and was on the fence about Nespresso. But with two toddlers and needing something simple yet to to my standards in the morning, I decided to go for it and now I have the best of both worlds: ease (and speed) of use and excellent quality cup of coffee. I still may or may not take a ferry ride just to acquire said coffee from the roaster of my choice, but re caps has made the rest of the process quick and easy!

We’ve tried these stickers with our Nespresso machine and they just work fine. A great replacement to the original where you can reuse your pods to brew your own coffee. We loved them so much because of their perfect fit and ease of application, we placed another order when we ran out. I’m sure we’ll continue to order these as long as we still own the vertuo coffee machine. Their size is slightly bigger than the diameter of the pods making them easy to apply, with a slight tuck, you’re good to go in no time. Best part you enjoy your favorite coffee. Highly recommended!

They’re a little bit pricey just for aluminum caps. But they work well and they certainly reduce the overall price of making a good cup of coffee in the machine

Reusing your Nespresso cups is so easy and it is a money saving trick! Just remove the top, wash the cup, buy your favorite ground coffee, and fill the clean cup with it. Use the round new shields to cover the cup and place it in your Nespresso coffee maker. You can do this daily or you can fill up a few of the coffee cups with the shields and keep them readily available for your next cup of coffee. I have been doing this for about six months now and I use my favorite Puerto Rican coffee that I buy for less than $5 at the grocery store. I keep the coffee in a tight lid container so it stays fresh until I want a new cup of coffee. I highly recommend these to you!

THESE WORK FANTASTIC! You must, however learn how to use them properly. This includes the degree to which the coffee is gound, how much/tightly it is packed into the pod, etc. Once you have mastered this (only takes a couple trial and error)- you will find that the coffee you make in the pods is 10000x better than that total cr** that is in the manufactured nesspresso ones. So PLEASE, give this a shot and a few tries if the coffee isn't to your liking at first. It is a WORLD of difference in quality and taste at a fraction of the cost, while also having the added benefit of selection and ethics (because.. fyi nestle is pure evil!) I included a video of this product, so one can see by the color of the coffee that it is perfectly matched to the nespresso pods. I don't normally go through such efforts as to including a video for a review, however this product not only deserves high praise and an accurate review, but it becomes especially important once the dark realities of the nestle company are learned. ( I will not go into detail about nestle it in this review, however suffice it to say that Nestle (R) will not ever again get a dime from me.) As consumers, we vote with our dollar. As we learn new things (for example human rights abuses and child exploitation), we can't simply turn a blind eye. Fortunately, you needn't need to throw away the previously purchased Nespresso virtuo machine- (cause let's face it.. the product is amazing) once you have added nestle to your boycott list. I have been reusing my old nespresso pods for MONTHS over and over and they still hold up great. HOW TO MAKE THEM WORK TO TASTE PERFECTION: 1. Pick a good coffee. I am a total fan now of Trader Joes Guatemalan Dark Organic and Certified Fair Trade for the machine/pods. I never favor a dark roast like this for a drip machine, however found switching to dark for the Nespresso really works at a great balance with the froth from the machine. It's superb. 2.GRIND is Everything! I had lots of trial and error when learning to what consistency the coffee needs to be. If you still have an old Nespresso pod that is unemptied, look at it while dry to find the perfect grind. Do not over grind the beans too fine as the coffee will come out diluted. Same goes for should you not grind them enough. If you have your own grinder, mess with what works a bit. I set mine in-between espresso and drip (closer to espresso but not full espresso nor super fine/French press). 3. Pack them appropriately. Again, balance is key and trial and error reaches mastery. You want it full and pressed, but not super pressed like you would pack an actual espresso machine. 4. Learn about nestle, the importance of only purchasing fair-trade always, and reducing waste by reusing every instance you can. 5. Buy something fun (and ethical) with all the money you save from not buying from nespresso. I love my nespresso machine, but if you haven't yet purchased one yet- I recommend looking into other options that aren't nestle. ;) There are some other good ones out there too. My sister has a great one, i'll update which it is once I find the name :) Thanks for reading and Café Diem! ;) ;)

Works perfectly

This is my third order of these lids (first order May 22, last order Aug 22). Something with the quality has changed. I now have to clean my machine three times a week, and run the real risk of destroying it. Because they worked so well with my first two orders and the money saved with these lids is worth my time and thought, I did a controlled experiment just to make sure the problem is with these "new" lids: - I descaled my machine and filled it with filtered water. - I bought 30 new Nespresso pods to make sure my machine wasn't on its last leg. All 30 pods worked great for 2 straight weeks, no cleaning/descaling required in that time. - I saved and cleaned all 30 of these pods to start anew. I wanted to make sure pin holes I couldn't see [in my older pods] weren't causing a pressure problem. - I weighted an unused Nespresso pod to make sure the coffee I was putting into my recapped pods was the same amount. It was possible that the weight of or pressure from the coffee was throwing the machine off or tearing/popping the lids. I was careful before, but I wanted to be exact for the experiment. - I have always ground my coffee to be the same as what is found in the Nespresso Pod, but this time, I took a photo and carefully examined the grounds to make sure they were exact. They were or pretty darn close. - I descaled it once again before using the recapped pods, and filled it with filtered water [I always use filtered water]. Well, guess what? My machine is showing that lovely green and red light once again, after running only three of the recapped pods through it. I can now confidently say the cause of the problem is not user error or my machine; the problem is most definitely these "new" lids. It was great while it lasted. I am now looking for an alternative or will just have to bite the bullet and buy Nespresso pods once again. With that said, if the company reaches out to me and offers me an explanation [for their choice or lack of choice in the foil used; we are in tough times, I know] along with their word that they will fix the quality control problem; I would buy again. Like I said, they were great when they worked and saved me a great deal of money. But, until then, I will stop buying these lids.
