Stainless Steel Reusable Vertuo Capsule Compatible With VERTUO NEXT+EMPTY Refillable Alumium-VERTUO-Pods-80+150+230ml Each 2 Pcs +Coffee Tamper ForNespressoVertuoNext Reusable Pods

PLEASE READ...I MADE IT WORK...Product did NOT work at first but after some ingenious thinking it now works great !!!! ONLY use the top silver screw cap of the insert (the bottom will not allow the coffee flow so do not use). Then, take a USED Nespresso coffee capsule & cut the top foil off, going around rim with an exacto knife.(There are computer markings under the lip of the capsule that the machine reads, the markings on these gold ones that comes with this stainless insert this not readable by the machine) . Fill with you own coffee & place the stainless lid on top. So you will have a used Nespresso foil pod which you cut the top off--your ground coffee inside--just place the silver top on...Place pod in machine & WALLAH!!!! You can continue to use the same used Aluminum Capsule that you cut the foil off for a long time....

If you do not empty and coffee is left in there overnight then the lid is almost impossible to get off. I am one that it is busy in the mornings when making my coffee and I do not have time to clean it out right away so for me it wasn't worth buying. I do not even use it anymore.

This is one of two devices I've tried to cut down on the price of a cup, and the only one that works in my Vertuo Next model machine (mine: DeLonghi ENV120). As an engineer: I think that if you have any model that uses the Vertuo style capsules, it's worth a try. But I only conjecture! I have used both the grounds that were in an existing capsule (opened an unused one and used the fresh grounds), and have also used my grocery store espresso grind from their grinding machine. Both turned out equivalent. The capacity is perhaps two-thirds a standard 230 ml capsule/pod, but since the supplied capsule "ranges" has it's own barcode (3 groups each with its own barcode), I adjusted the water amount to be a bit less for these capsules. The result was what I considered to be an equivalent strength and quality of the Nespresso capsule. Also the tamper that is included allows you to concentrate the grind a bit more than what the Nespresso capsule provides in density. I've seen comments that it's difficult to screw shut -- I found that if I simply reverse-screw a half turn that the cap seats properly and is no problem to screw shut. The used capsule is quite hot if you try to reuse it immediately -- but just run it under cold water for a second! I plan to get 2 more of these so that we're all set for our 3 cup morning binge before I go to bed.

Like the other reviews state, use the right type and amount of coffee and it will be BETER than the stuff Nespresso calls coffee. The 230mls don't read right in my Vertuo Next, I have the cheaper machine ... that that shouldnt matter. Buttt.... You can just re-use an old 230ml pod. Follow the directions, and everything will work. But dissapointed A)230s dont work out of the box B) you dont get all the sizes. Like where are the XL and Pour over sizes, and there is no 40ml.

I love my Nespresso coffee machine but I hated the waste of all those aluminum cups filled with coffee. They were also inconvenient to recycle since I did not always have a fedex or UPS return postage to send the used cups back. But this unit is well made, machined stainless steel cup. Reusable and for the cost of one pack of cups provides lifelong enjoyment of my favorite coffees. I am not limited to just the coffee brand and flavors offered by Nespresso. Makes a great cup of coffee and no mold buildup in my cup receptacle. Easy to clean. Has already paid for itself after just one month. The solid stainless steel tamper is a great benefit. I am super pleased with all of it.

When I bought this in May the reusable aluminum pods had a bar code. (I see that the current items do not appear to have bars codes). Anyway these bar codes after a while get worn and scratched, and the machine will not recognize them and they won't work. My advice is to buy a new box of Nespresso pods (with coffee) of the type you like, and reuse them. The barcode uses much harder paint - and take longer to wear out, and they are cheaper than buying the reusable ones. I don't particularly like the stainless steel pod, you will still need a pod with a bar code, and the stainless steel pod has to be washed immediately to make the next cup. Best go with the reusing an original pod + aluminum foil stick on lid. the latter are very low cost if you buy 500 at a time.

The holes won't allow enough flow. I drilled them bigger. Figured out when you compact the coffee it needs a flow hole in the center to work slightly better. It seems like a stainless mesh filter would work better

So, I love this thing. I first didn’t realize the pods were different sizes, made an 8oz, and it obviously was the wrong size. Made another, with the right cup and wow! I absolutely love it! The grind of the coffee is important when putting it in the stainless steel base. I honestly hated the ideas of pods for a long time, but just recently purchased the nespresso vertuo next. I’m honestly impressed with this pod, and it definitely is easy to use and clean.

Finally bought coffee beans to try this out, what a waste of my time and money. Spent all day troubleshooting, multiple different grinds fine, medium etc, cleaning coffee machine thinking it is the problem, only to find out this stainless steel capsule does not work. Put in a standard nespresso capsule and it works everytime.

Ease of use.

No funcionan como yo esperaba

El peor producto que he comprado, lo puse y ahora mi Next prende rojo, y ya no funciona. Algo que se supone debió ayudarme a economizar en café y ser mas ecológico termino por dañar mi máquina. (En la foro se ve naranja pero se ROJO el foco)
