Si tienes una máquina Nespresso pero no te quieres gastar el dinero que valen sus cápsulas estás tapas son lo ideal.Llevo unos meses gastandolas y sin ningún problema,el café sale con su espumita y la verdad casi que no noto diferencia con las de Nespresso (supongo que también será el café que le pongas a las cápsulas)yo gasto el Bonka de toda la vida (eso sí el fuerte)y estoy encantada.La máquina de momento no me ha dado ningún problema.Si que es verdad que lo veo un productocaro no carísimo para lo que es , pero desde luego lo amortizas.Por eso supongo que le ponen ese precio.Recomiendo 100%

None of the issues some other people mentioned happened for me so far. Not a single grain of coffee got outside the capsule after like 50 uses already, coffee was just as good as from a normal capsule. Except you can make it better, because you can choose your own coffee. I always thought the coffee from the original nespresso capsules was pretty good, i liked it at least. But turns out, most of that weight carries the machine and how it works. The original coffee isnt too special, and with some normal bio coffee i use, standard pre-ground grain size, that tasted much better to me then making the same coffee pour-over. Now, thats just my taste, and i didnt find my absolute favorite coffee yet, but i think if you have or find some REALLY good coffee, it will be better then the original capsules easily, which are just much too overpriced, which is why you are probably here reading this. So if you have the machine already, and want to use your own much cheaper coffee, this probably the best product. Yes, its a bit expensive too for just 2 silicon caps, but they work, and will save you more money in the long run for sure. They dont feel like they will fail anytime soon. And yes, one "problem" could be that you need an original capsule, but you probably have a few still, and if not, just buy one more pack of 10, and those will last you for a looong time, because theyre not too flimsy either, as you probably noticed already, theyre quite stable aluminium. From every single custom capsule from other sellers, ive read reviews that machines sometimes just dont work with them, so i choose this one instead, because the machines will for sure work with the capsules made for them, and it really doesnt notice the different cap at all. One last thing, i have found that for me, one exact standard coffee-spoon full is the perfect amount for a normal size capsule that fills 330ml. Which actually saves me coffee too, because before, when i made it pour-over, i needed 3 spoons for 600ml to get a good full taste. But experiment a bit with the amount, you might like a bit more or less, likely depends on the coffee too. Didnt try espresso with these yet, and obviously it wont be as good as from a real espresso machine, but that was the case with the original espresso capsules too, so thats just the machine. But for normal coffee, its very nice imo.

Update 12/03/2024: I have used 2 for one year and half now, and they still work fine (provided I do not overfill the pod, which is not an issue with the caps in themselves) so I am rasing the rating to 5 stars. ======= I pulled a few hundreds shots with these, and they are in no worst shape than when they got out of the box. So they are durable. Easy to displace as well, I ended up buyinga second set after misplacing one, but tha tis hardly the product fault. They was well and do not interfere with the barcodes underneath (if you never used one before, these caps are to be used with a recycled nespresso pod. The top film must be removed carefully, a staney knife works well for that, and them tu can reflll with your own coffee and cover with one of these caps before putting it in the machine). The failure rate is low, not more than 10 times over 200 shots, probably less. This is normally due to overfilling the pod or missing to clean the sides. The flavour is not much worst than the original pods, or just the same, dependently mainly on how precisely your grind and fill the pod. I have to say that I am not a huge fan of even the original pods, it is an espresso but not a great espresso anyway. But then I am Italian, so perhaps I set the bar too high. Filling up the pods is easy enough, after some practise, and I do not bother with micro scales and assorted malarkey. If you can fill a moka properly, you can fill this too. It is not like I am pulling espresso on a marzocco or anything.. It takes just 30 seconds or less, between emptying the old pod (with the film already removed of course, that takes a few minutes) , washing cap and pod, refilling and covering. The grind is finer than moka, much finer than filter of course, but coarser than espresso. One needs to experiment a bit initially, and to keep a note of the grinder settings perhaps, if used for other grinds too. The reason I am giving it four stars is: - One of the caps came with the edge slightly damaged. It does not seem to affect functionality or durability, but it grinds me a bit because they cost nearly £6 each. - It would be nice of them to include a little transparent measuring cup with grades for the various sizes of pods, that would save some experimenting. Anyway , they need to be filled loosely (even the new pods ar enot too filled, you can hear the coffee moving when shaking them). They save considerable money , I spent £24 on caps, plus £30 on a variety pack, which I did not even finish but it allowed me to test le different kind of pods (the bar codes are different and will yield slighty different results). If buying pods here n amazon, I have already saved nearly £150 If buying direct from nespresso, I still saved £70 on the cheapest they do. Finally, the worst cost of using new pods is the amount of waste, particularly if you drink several per day in the family. This eliminates waste entirely

The lid works great, I've used it a couple of times and it's perfect if you don't want to spend a lot of money on capsules, you have to clean the capsule very well before adding the coffee, add up to half the capsule (do not press the coffee ) and then put the lid on, I shake the capsule a little gently before putting it in the nespresso so that the coffee loosens (prevent the coffee from coming out by putting your finger in the hole in the center of the lid). I recommend using it with espresso ground coffee, I tried with ground bean coffee (coarse grind) but the quality is not the same in the nespresso vs a french press or a chemex.
