Reusable Coffee Capsule Compatible with Nes-presso OriginalLine Machine Stainless Steel Refillable Nes presso Coffee Pod Filter with tamper and Spoon

Note that there is a 10% coupon currently in effect.I ordered the HAILASRE Reusable for my new Nespresso clone. What I like about the HAILASRE versus other reusable coffee capsules for the Nespresso is that it is fully sustainable since it does not require disposable foil lids. Interestingly, the kit comes with 4 disposable foil lids anyway, but I'm not sure what they're for. The HAILASRE has a metal lid with a thin rubber washer, so there is no need for foil lids. Moreover, this kit comes with a nice metal tamper in addition to the metal scoop. Other reusable kits I've seen require you to use the bottom of the scoop as a tamper. It took me multiple rounds of experimentation to get this to work well with my machine, but now it works beautifully. While I played around with how much coffee to place in the capsule, the biggest factor turned out to be the coarseness of the grind. It turned out my grind was too fine, resulting in very little coffee getting extracted. Once I switched to a coarser grind (I'd say a medium-fine grind), it worked beautifully. The tiny brush that comes with the kit is kind of worthless. I have real coffee brushes, so that's what I use. The tamper is the perfect size and works well. The resusable capsule is slightly shorter than the disposable pods (by design), and you have to ensure that the capsule enters the machine properly. In my case, in addition to inserting it properly, I have to push down the rear of the capsule slightly before I close the machine to make sure that the capsule goes into the right chamber. Since the capsule is made of metal, you could damage your machine if you force the lid shut without ensuring proper fit. Overall I'm happy with this kit. I love that I can use my own coffee in my machine without creating any additional waste. Recommended.

First of all, I’m no espresso expert, and I won’t bother to use the French and Italian terms. I recently got my wife a Nespresso machine and thought I would get this to try out. There aren’t much in the way of instructions, so I had to toy around a bit to figure things out.Included are the pod/lid, a measuring scoop, a tamper, a cleaning brush, and four foil stickers.The foil stickers are important as without them the water jets into the coffee, splashes it around the outside, and you end up with weak espresso. I don’t know how long each sticker will last, but the first time I used it a small tear appeared. It seems to work still, but I’m not sure what the expected lifespan of this kit is, or how much additional foil stickers costs.A single scoop is enough for a small cup, but I think the larger cup needs two scoops. I scoop once, tamp, then scoop a second time and re-tamp.The tamper works reasonably well.The cleaning brush isn’t very useful.Unlike the normal pods, you have to be careful about inserting this one to ensure you don’t get it oriented wrong.This makes a decent cup, but it does take some work to prepare and dial in.
