I rarely write reviews but I felt very inclined to do so for this product. I’ve now made ~10 shots over the course of 3 weeks of having these. I have a D’Longhi Mini Essenza Nespresso machine, and it fits these capsules like a glove, a very tight glove. That’s a good thing, because a loose fitting capsule will cause water leakage into your espresso cup and dilute your drink (and experience). I weigh 5 grams of finely ground dark roast (seriously, I just buy pre ground espresso that Trader Joe’s sells, rainforest packaging) in the capsule and use the included “tamper” to compress the grounds. It’s a little bit messy of a process but I’ll take cleaning up since the end result is phenomenal. I use filtered water ONLY in my Nespresso machine and overall, it works like a charm. Lovely aroma (better than store bought pods) and perfect amount of cream too. Resist the urge to fully fill and pack the capsule, as some space is needed for the water when the foil lid is penetrated. I’ve made these the night before and even after sitting sealed by the foil for 8 hours, they still taste fresh in the morning. Each shot is very consistent and up to the caliber and quality of Nespresso brand pods. I took a chance after reading some mixed reviews, but boy am I glad I got these. I am now so excited to experiment with pre-ground espresso from different roasters, since the standard Trader Joe’s brand espresso tastes so good. This saves so much money over buying one time use pods, and the taste is phenomenal! Fantastic value!!!

I've been a dedicated Nespresso machine and pods user for over 15 years. My last one is the Breville Pixie Espresso Machine.Let's talk about the real game-changer: Triplot reusable capsules. I've been using these for over two years now, and I'm here to tell you, I'll never go back!Two years ago, I made the switch to Triplot reusable capsules, and I haven't looked back. It's a game-changer! The machine still works flawlessly, I'm saving money, I'm doing something for the planet, and enjoying creamy, tasty Espressos everyday.What drove me to explore reusable capsules? Well, the ever-increasing cost of Nespresso pods and the growing desire for a more sustainable coffee habit. I initially purchased this 6-capsule kit to test the waters. While there was a bit of a learning curve to achieve the perfect espresso, I quickly discovered a simple method that works like a charm:NEWBIES! THE HOW-TO INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ARE FOR YOU!!!!1. Measure and Fill: Use your measuring spoon to add 2-3.5 teaspoons of ground coffee to the aluminum capsule.2. Tamp: Gently tamp the coffee grounds to ensure even distribution.3. Clean: Wipe away any excess coffee grounds from the capsule rim.4. Seal: Place the aluminum top seal onto the capsule.5. Press: Press down on the foil of the top seal to secure it.6. Finalize: Press with your finger around the entire capsule to ensure a tight seal.And voilà! Your reusable capsule is ready for brewing.Over time, I’ve repurchased additional capsules. Now, I prepare batches of 20-25 capsules at a time, usually once a week. The entire process takes only about 5 minutes! It’s so easy and satisfying.Pros:Cost-Effective: The initial investment pays off quickly, especially if you're a frequent coffee drinker.Eco-Friendly: Reduces waste from single-use capsules.Quality Espresso: With a bit of practice, you can achieve a rich, creamy espresso. Of course, the coffee blend you choose is also very important!Cons:Plastic Packaging: The seal lids come in a lot of plastic packaging, which seems counterintuitive to the eco-friendly goal. Triplot, please consider more sustainable packaging options!While the silicone seals may need occasional replacement, the overall savings and environmental benefits far outweigh this minor inconvenience.I wholeheartedly recommend giving Triplot reusable capsules a try.For those who are wondering, I use the Italian Illy Ground Expresso blend.

I am not blaming the product, more the process. But I'm finding it hard to make the espresso pods. 1. I keep making the coffee grind too fine, and it's a slow pour from the Nespresso. Or worse, it blocks the flow of the Nespresso. I have a bur grinder so i can adjust the coarseness, i just am having a real hard time finding the right spot2. I love my coffee brands for pour over coffee, but for some reason, it's more bitter in this espresso maker. Is that expected? I don't know, but another reason why I'm having a hard time with this process3. It is a bit labor intensive. Fun the first few times, but then it's just a chore. And i use 2 pods power coffee, so making 6 pods goes very quicklyBut in all fairness to this product, i love that it comes with a holder for the pods. It seems like there is some air tightness so that the coffee doesn't go stale when the pods are pressed into the holder. The sticker tops are easy to apply and place in the correct position. The scooper tool works well by making the pod itself the scoop. But i haven't figured out how not to spill any coffee grinds when making these.

I was gifted a Nesspresso machine and felt criminal using single-use pods. Then I discovered this set. It does take a bit of effort in the beginning, but now filling the pods has become part of my morning ritual. In fact, I enjoy the process so much, my husband and I fight over who gets to fill the pods.The resulting coffee strength is mild. My friends prefer to use 2 of these pods in each cup. I prefer my coffee mild, so it works for me.
