- CAPMESSO Reusable Vertuo Pod Refill Kit, Faster Seal Reusable Nespresso Vertuo Pods with Fill & Press Brush,100pcs Aluminum Foil Lids for Refillable Nespresso Pods Vertuo

Well, I must say, this CAPMESSO Reusable Vertuo Pod Refill Kit is quite the ingenious little contraption. As a coffee enthusiast with more experience than I care to admit, I find this gadget to be a real game-changer in my daily routine. I've been using this kit to refill my Vertuo pods with remarkable efficiency, and I must say, it's a smooth operation from start to finish. The Fill & Press Brush is particularly handy, making the whole process as neat and tidy as can be. It's a pleasure to use, really. Now, regarding compatibility, you needn't worry. This kit fits all Vertuo pods perfectly, and those aluminum foil lids create an impressively tight seal, keeping your coffee fresh for longer. It's not only saving me a considerable amount of money, but it's also allowing me to reduce my environmental impact. A win-win situation, if you ask me. Just the other day, I used it to create a custom blend of Colombian and Ethiopian beans - the result was simply divine. - **Comprehensive kit**: Everything you need in one package. - **Efficient sealing**: Saves precious time in the morning rush. - **Cost-effective**: Significantly reduces long-term coffee expenses. - **Environmentally friendly**: Reduces waste from single-use pods.

This set is awesome. Works just as it should, easy, and quick to do. Keep in mind that you need to buy the Vertuo capsules FIRST, keep them, clean them out, etc. So yes, you initially need to fork over some money but you'll save A TON of money in the long run. I just purchased a set of 30 to last me a month before having to refill these. Since my machine is just for me and sometimes I am in the mood for a good ol' french press style, this amount is perfect. On to the ONE thing that kinda bugs me. Some people might not think this a big deal but I'll throw it out there. I own a Vertuo Plus model. To put in the new capsule for another delicious cup, you press the lid up and the machine very conveniently disposes the capsule automatically into the back bucket. Since using these lids, that convenient mechanism doesn't work. So I manually have to push the pod into the bucket. Takes two seconds and really no energy at all. Call me lazy or super extra, high maintenance, bougee... but the way I see it is that I put a lot of money into this machine as it is, so I want EVERY part of it to work the way it was designed! I think its because these foil lids are not as thick as the nespresso brand foil tops so the machine can't pull up the pod and dispose of it automatically. Anyway, just my two cents. Defintely keeping the machine and doing this method with this kit. The very MINOR inconvenience isn't enough for me to spend over HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS a year in the nespresso pods. GET THIS KIT!!

Yes- my title is right- it has been a journey! If you’re unsure of what style of refillable pod to get- this one is the way to go- save your money trying out all the methods we have wasted time and money on and just buy this one! See below for full details on why and what our household has tried! Since purchasing my nespresso vertuo pod coffee maker, I have been frustrated by the lack of options for pods. Anyone who has one knows this struggle. If you have a keurig, the world is nearly your oyster with options. For the nespresso vertuo machines, that isn’t the case. The other refill pod (metal style filled reusable containers) have been expensive and completely hit and miss. Out of the 4 I have purchased, 1 was consistently reliable. Our households issue with that style is, we have a lot of company- we wanted the ability to prep multiple ahead of time so people could use them as needed and we didn’t have to do it per cup and or teach each person how to use it. (Those were approx $25 per metal refill- so out of the $100 we spent on them- one worked) Plus with the metal ones, they are hot for a few mins so you can’t easily just empty it right away and refill without burning yourself a bit. After this method didn’t work for us we moved to not using our nespresso at all unless for company- and buying nespresso proprietary pods for company use only- as they are too expensive for our daily coffee consumption. For ourselves- we bought an electric kettle with a temp setting and an aeropress. Now we do love it- and it works for our daily needs- but it does use quite a bit of coffee for each cup- and it isn’t a drop a pod in and go type of process. We were still searching for a cheaper and more guest friendly option which brings us to getting this kit/system. Now- finally to this product in particular—— I have seen other filling systems, but was drawn to try this kit as it came with: 1. The base holder (for any size pod to sit in) 2. The lid that crimps the foil on 3. A tamper (which my husband has always wanted) 4. 100 foils (not sure how long these will last us- but my guess is about 2-3 months with our coffee consumption) The process of making a pod: I cut the original foils off with a knife- wash and dry the bases and set them aside for refilling. Set the pod in the base- add coffee about 2 mm below the top edge (once tamped) Place the foil- add the top half of the device- I press it down and do a quarter twist. *Note the foils seem extra large when you place them- which I personally find amazing, it makes it harder to mess it up- as long as you have anything extra over the edge of the top it will seal just fine! Anything uneven from one side to the other can just be tucked below the edge. After that I remove the pod- run my finger along the edge to tuck and extra edges under the edge of lip and done! This is wonderful for me for multiple reasons that haven’t been possible with any other method. 1. I can make as many ahead as bases I have. For me—I can make a week’s worth for my husband and I in about 10 mins. Which also means I can prep as many as I have available so that my houseguests can use them without any additional hassle or instruction from us. (It may sound silly but walking each person through the process of how to fill a pod and use it is a mind numbing and tiresome process) 2. I can add my own extra spices to make my own unique blends- and once the foil is sealed I take a chops stick and lightly etch into the foil what it is- my husband prefers one flavor- I prefer another and now we can make all our favorites ahead! 3. It uses about 30% less coffee per cup than our Aeropress- so the payoff for this system for my household will be under a month’s time. (A large size pod is about 1.5 scoops of the provided scooper) 4. Additional foils are easily sold for when I do run out of these (I recommend to favorite the product so it is easy to come back and buy again or set up a subscription for delivery at the frequency you think you will go through them-be sure you set the subscription up for the foil only option as you will not need anything else additional) 5. Quality coffee each and every time without the worry of tearing up your machine using one of the metal ones that are hot and inconsistent. Hope this helped you and helps save you some time and money!

This product can conceivably save you a ton of money. It definitely works as advertised. I was able to successfully make pods (takes about one minute) and brew them fairly quickly. The machine can’t tell the difference between these and prepackaged pods. The tool that’s included comes in very handy for packing the pod and also sweeping away grounds. I will say that having to continually clean the used pods is a hassle, but I would have been able to live with it had it worked as I needed it to work. My complaint about this product, and the reason I stopped using it, is that, no matter how much coffee I pack into a pod, I can’t make a strong cup of coffee. It never gets as strong as the prepackaged pods, and I cannot figure out why. I bought Starbucks Italian roast, which is a dark, bold roast, and I still couldn’t get it to make a strong cup. It’s possible that it’s user error, but I cannot figure out what I’d be doing wrong as I’ve tried packing pods with varying amounts of coffee grounds. Also, yes, I’m aware that Vertuo pods are individually-barcoded. I’ve tried all different types of pods (light to dark roasts), and cannot get a strong cup. Sadly, I’ve given up. So, as long as you don’t like a very strong cup of coffee, and don’t mind spending an extra minute or so preparing your pod, then I would recommend this product. I hope that helps.

Great buy! I recently brought home some coffee from Colombia that I wanted to try in my Nespresso. Very easy to use! Don’t pack too much and it works just as good as original pods.

I already had a refill system, but since my daughter wanted one, I thought I would purchase another one and see if I liked it. Then I would give her whichever one was extra. Turns out, I like my original one much better. This one does work and my daughter was glad to get it because she didn’t have to purchase anything, but I would not necessarily recommend this product. PROS -allows for neater refilling -comes with a scoop and tamper all-in-one -has a built-in alignment guide -seals stay in place -will get the job done -affordable CONS -Tamper tends to get stuck on the lip of the refill housing. -seals wrinkle easily, can be tricky to remove from the paper, and have a lot of overhang. You have to spend a few moments carefully folding the seal down so the pod doesn’t stick to your Nespresso machine while simultaneously not covering the barcodes. This results in a more time-consuming and painstaking process. -its size is slightly larger than my current refill system.

I've been using this now for a couple of months with no issues at all. It is a terrific system, saves a ton of money vs buying the vertuo pods, and the coffee tastes just the same - better, actually, since I can choose the coffee myself. (I use a regular grind, which I think works better than a fine espresso grind).

Game changing for the Nespresso machine! I saved some of the pods and refill them using this with some of my favorite coffee and espresso! This is easy, quick and puts an ease on the wallet! Cleaning is easy and there are no leaks. Such an easy product to use.
