i Cafilas Reusable Coffee Pods Compatible with Nespresso Original Line, Stainless Steel Refillable Espresso Capsules with Tamper, Dishwasher Safe Metal Cups (3 Pods + 1 Tamper)

Love these! I like that they have their own cap so that you don’t have to use the adhesive ones that cause issues with leakage. It’s nice and tight, allowing for just the right amount of coffee to go through. They have a filter, which gives the perfect flow without having to chew your coffee. I’m considering ordering more because the one thing I don’t like is having to fill them and go through the process two times (I drink two coffees to wake up) before I’m fully awake. My suggestion is to not fill to the brim, the filet of the cap goes further in than I expected so the first couple of times I had to remove some coffee. The package comes with everything you need, the little scoop is perfect, I use 2 scoops and a half, and the stainless steel tool to get it nice and tight has a longer handle than most, so you don’t get your hands all with coffee as I keep it in the coffee box so I don’t lose it. Much better than buying expensive new be time use pods. Choose your best win favorite coffee and save money.Pros:-save money- easy to use- very high quality with filtered topCon- pain in the butt to clean and reuse, especially shortly after use because the pod is still very hot- takes time to figure out exactly how much to fill- depending on how many people drink coffee in the morning, I’d have a pod for each coffee made in the mornings so you don’t have to clean and refill while still sleepy

I love the product, after reading the different reviews and see some disappointed people I would like to share my experience. The product performs best to do a espresso, for lungos it doesn't work as well, they feel too light.Preparation steps I followed:I added coffee and gently pressed it with the spon included on the package, when I pressed too hard the water didn't go through and only got some drops on coffee.I filled the pod, leaving room to add the lid + a bit more spaceI used illy coffee and love the results !!I would buy it again !

The idea is fantastic. In actuality, the coffee quality is absolutely terrible. It does not produce a Krema. Even with the smallest size pull through the capsule, the coffee is weak. It is clearly not an espresso in terms of taste, strength, or quality.My daughter is a barista at a coffee shop. And she understands the proper steps of making espresso and she cannot get this to work. It is not possible to tamp these grounds. I have no idea how to use the device any different than how I show in the video. The demonstration video on Amazon is vague and they don’t show the end product.To be clear. The end product is an extraordinarily watery cup of pseudo coffee.I like a good cup of coffee, and I love espresso. This device makes absolutely terrible coffee.I could not feel more misled or ripped offI would be happy to revise this review if someone could provide me a video that shows me how to make better coffee using this capsule.

Me sorprendió la calidad del producto. Permite sacar el jugo a la máquina Nespresso y usar café de buena calidad.

[EDIT, 6/15/2026: I’ve added a star to my original review, because i Cafilas offered me, unprompted, a full refund for the product. I accepted. That’s exceptional customer service.] Original review: The refillable capsule is a wonderful concept, but I’ve never been able to make it work. Even when I fill them with finely ground, dark-roast coffee, the resulting brew is too weak for my taste. I did some research after my latest failure with the refillable ones and learned that, because of the internal workings of my Citiz Nespresso machine, the aftermarket refillable capsules like these are designed to be shorter than the standard, disposable ones. Something about the way the machine pierces the disposable capsules. As a result, the refillables’ capacity for ground coffee is lower. At the suggestion of my coffee roaster, I even tried having my beans commercially ground into almost a powder, but the resulting beverage was still too weak. It was a noble experiment, but unless technology comes around to overcome the capacity issue, I’ll have to stick to ordering my usual disposable aluminum capsules for my Citiz original-line Nespresso machine.

Cuela bien. Hace buena espuma. No se debe compactar mucho el café. Yo hecho 4 gramos de café Bustelo (la medida de la cuchara incluida) y el espresso sale con buen sabor. Uso una maquina Nespresso Original Line.

They "sort of" work. I bought these both to be better for the planet and particularly so that I could have decaf espresso without buying special pods. Sometimes I use these with aluminum foil tops that I purchased and sometimes with the original stainless steel tops. Either way, I can say that when I am closing my espresso machine, it makes a cracking noise due to the hardness of the capsule which is a little off putting and makes me think I'm breaking my machine-- I'm not, but it sounds like it is. I agree with those who suggest that not packing the espresso helps it a little bit, though, of course, that also affects the quality of the espresso you get. Whether I use the aluminum foil caps or the original caps I find that I have to push the brew button multiple times to get an actual cup-- the tiny hole(s) that allows the water to be pushed through the capsule does not push much water through in the end. Bottom line, it's just not as effective as the regular capsules that are made for the machine, and even with multiple pushes on the brew button, you may not get as strong a cup of espresso as you like.

Good bye plastic one time capsules Your choice of coffee every day

Perfeitas!!

Excellent produit pour faire un excellent café à la condition d’avoir une bonne matière grise bien entendu, un petit bémol qd même c’est un produit multi machines par conséquent sur ma machine modèle mécaniquement pas aussi bien ajusté que la capsule d’origine.

Update nach 2,5 Jahren:Ich hab zwei weitere gekauft und hab nun 4 Stück und bin immer noch zufrieden. Mittlerweile nehme ich einfachen Espresso von segafredo und fülle überhäuft ein. Mit der Rückseite des Messlöffels presse ich das Pulver dann rein und die Creme sowie der Geschmack passen soweit für meinen Milchkaffee.Aber an der Verpackung kann sich der Hersteller das Plastik sparen, muss nicht sein.Immer noch: KaufempfehlungHier die Rezension von 2020:Man braucht Geduld, aber relativ flott hat man den Bogen heraus: Das Leeren, Ausspülen, Trocknen, Einfüllen, Andrücken und Deckel auflegen geht dann in einer Minute von der Hand, beide hat man in 90 sek voll. Nicht eben für die große Gästerunde geeignet, aber wer täglich zum Eigengebrauch 2-3 Tassen durch seine Nespresso bläst, der spart nicht nur Geld sondern schont auch die Umwelt.Die Kapseln wirken und sind hochwertig. Nichts verbeult, nichts verändert sich. Es braucht aber etwas Mut, den Hebel der Nespresso das erste Mal herunterzudrücken: Es geht schwerer und ab und an bleibt die Kapsel auch mal hängen und es erfordert etwas Frickelei, die Kapsel durchfallen zu lassen. Das passiert aber sehr selten, meine Maschine hat auch schon 10 Jahre auf dem Buckel und viele Fremdkapseln gesehen, vielleicht ist das der Grund.Wichtig ist der Kaffee/Espresso und dessen Mahlgrad. Ich habe erst normalen Kaffee getestet - zu dünn. Dann kaufte ich Espresso und versuchte verschiedene Mengen. Mal war er zu dünn, mal kam die Maschine nicht klar und es kam kaum etwas heraus.Dann schnitt ich eine Kapsel auf und wog die Menge, ich meine, es waren so 4-5 gr Kaffee. Daran hab ich mich orientiert, diese Menge ist aber schwer hineinzubekommen und auch das ist wieder abhängig vom Kaffee.Ich fand eine bestimmte Menge, gewöhnte mich daran und wechselte dann den Kaffee.Der jetzt verwendete ich grober gemahlen, jedenfalls kann ich den Kaffee bedenkenlos festdrücken und es kommt genug heraus.Ein Espresso hat eine schöne Crema, der Geschmack ist in Ordnung. Meinen Lungo morgens, den ich im Thermobecher mit warmer Milch eraufe, der ist insgesamt etwas zu dünn, aber vertretbar.Wenn Besuch kommt, greife ich auf Reservekapseln von Nespresso oder MyCup zurück - ich fühle mich gut bei der Verwendung dieser Edelstahlteile!

It took about a week and 2 calls into Amazon to even get this in the mail however it did finally arrive. At first I was very unhappy with it and was going to return it but then I read some other reviews and decided to make sure my coffee was extra fine. After re-grinding my coffee I tried again and have been very happy. I filled the steel pod up to the top with coffee and then use the tamper to press it down enough to put the lid on. I have found this makes a decent coffee. You have to use the espresso setting unless you like very weak coffee. I found I can use the espresso setting twice (remove pod and put it back in so the coffee runs through the other side more instead of just pushing the button twice in a row) and get a decent cup that way. It’s a bit of a hassle because it doesn’t work as awesome as the pods but it certainly works well enough for the money savings on the pods and me being able to use a high-quality organic coffee instead of whatever Nestlé uses.
