I bought these reusable lids for my Nespresso Vertuo pods in an attempt to be more eco-friendly, convenience, and save money, but unfortunately, they have been nothing but hassle and a complete disappointment. Firstly, the fit is awkward—while they technically sit on the pods, they don’t create a proper seal, leading to inconsistent brewing and sometimes even leakage. I’ve tried multiple pods and adjustments, but the issue persists. The coffee doesn’t come out properly; it’s either too weak or too bitter. Another major flaw is the hole in the lids. This exposes the coffee to environmental factors, which significantly alters the taste. If you’re pre-filling pods in advance, like I often do, this becomes an even bigger problem. The coffee quality deteriorates quickly, and the flavor changes noticeably, especially after just a day or two of storing the pre-filled pods. I really wanted to like these, but after using them for a week, I don’t think they’re the best option for me. There are definitely other ways to be eco-conscious and still get great coffee quality. They may work better for others, but I won’t be using these again.

I've been on a journey, testing various reusable capsules. Both for the original Nespresso machines and the new Vertuo capsule machines. Basically, I settled on this reusable cover that you can apply to used Nespresso Vertuo pods, using them over and over again. While it isn't quite the same as a manufactured capsule, it's close. What I've learned is that I need to use a dark roast coffee, and grind it finely. Then, I very LIGHTLY tamp the grounds into the capsule, making sure there is space near the top. DO NOT tamp firmly, or you will make your machine work too hard, and it will shut down. Ask me how I know? :) Anyway, now I can use whatever coffee I like (I found that flavored coffee tastes pretty terrible), and save quite a bit of money. The Nespresso Vertuo capsules, branded by Starbucks, are almost $2 EACH at my local grocery store. This way, I spend less than 30 cents a cup. A final tip: you can shut off the machine early if it seems that only water is coming out near the end of the brew cycle, just touch the "ON" button and it will stop. That way, you can adjust the strength of the brew to your liking. I find that I need to cut out about an ounce of brew to get the same strength as the manufactured capsules. But that's OK, because I can just brew another cup!

I works perfect for my new Nespresso Vertuo. I’ve been looking for a long time for something like this so I have the option to use a different kind of coffee or the Nespresso pods which can get expensive.These silicon lids worked amazingly, after you use it, just rinse it off and use it again, which to me is better than the aluminum sheets that are discarded every-time you use them!!Great product!!!

These work well UNTIL they are broken in. When they get used a lot, they get loose and pop up when the hot water is steaming the cups and the lids pop up, causing a spill in the unit and red flashing lights come on, asking you to clean the machine. A lot of coffee grinds end up in your coffee cup. Need to find lids that won’t pop up.

So far works great! Just as they explained I kept my old nesspresso pods removed aluminum top layer put in other coffee grinds, et voila works well 🙂 I have cleaned out other nesspresso brand capsules for back up in case bar codes ware off. 100% happy so far.

Lids are a little loose so you have to be careful not to knock them off. Works good with Nespresso machine - very happy!

I've only been using 1 of these caps so far and have made a half dozen cups of coffee, and that same number of cups of tea. The drinks have come out great and the lid rinses quickly and is ready for the next use.For coffee, I have been using a medium grind, and for the tea, I've tried loose leaf, and it's all come out flavourful. It's nice not to boil a full kettle just for 1 cup - and also to have a bit more variety from the machine when I don't want a strong coffee in the evening.

This worked great! As long as you follow the instructions and don't over fill the pod it works! Save money and easy to use

I was using the aluminum foil adhesive disposable covers which worked OK but were kind of messy and didn't always stick perfectly. So I thought I'd try these reusable silicone covers even though some of the reviews said they didn't work or caused problems with the coffee maker. After a few tries I found the correct way to use them and it's simple... just don't overfill the pod with coffee grounds! Leave a little gap all the way around then put on the silicone cap. Works perfectly every time! If you fill the grounds too high or pack too tight, it might cause problems... but just don't fill all the way to the top or pack too tight! When you're done, just rinse the pod and the silicone lid... being sure the tiny holes are clear and not blocked by any spent coffee grounds. 100% happy with this reusable product and will save a ton of $$$ by not having to buy expensive Nespresso coffee! Remember that the machine "reads" the code on the bottom of the pod lip so be sure you use the right pod type for the coffee type. The lighter amber color pods are for regular coffee and the darker brown pods are for espresso.
