- Easy-Seal Coffee Capsule Refill Kit for Nespresso Vertuoline with a Brush, Scoop, Reusable Capsule Holder, and 80 Premium Foil Seals

I've been using this kit for almost a year and it has worked out well for me. It's cheaper than the pre-made pods and let's you choose from a much wider selection of coffee beans. I went through the 80 pack of seals that came with it and just ordered replacement seals from the same company as they have worked out well. As long as you are careful it's not that difficult to use. I usually make up a week's worth of pods ahead of time and the coffee has always tasted fresh and good.

The holder / sealer is excellent! Great quality, easy to use, and great seal (once aligned). The lids could be a bit thicker but they work great (once aligned). My first attempt, I thought it looked aligned well but the machine (Nespresso Virtuo Next by Breville) thought differently. Apparently part of the stickiness was exposed (near the tab area) which resulted in a small tear, sticking to ejector, and slight grain discharge. I used a 7.7 oz cup pod with fine grain Lavazza Gran Aroma light roast. On the second pass, I ensured to align the tab on the lid with the tab position on the sealer and pod was much better looking. There was NO issue in the second pass. The coffee brewed nice and frothy just like an original pod and the taste was perfect. The compared the scooper provided to the one I normally use in my drip machine. The provided scoop is about 2.5 tablespoons. The grain to water ratio was about the same as I use in my drip machine (1 heaping tablespoon to 7 oz water). Next try will be with a reused 18 oz Caraffe pod! Happy with the results so far! Definitely need to refill the pods ahead of time as it takes some time to align correctly.

The system actually works, but as I've learned from the 50+ cups I've made: what you save in money, you spend in time and mess. The pro: its actually simple...you take the cup holder base (provided in the kit), put in a clean Vertuo pod (i.e. a pod that you previously made a cup of coffee with, emptied, remove most of the foil & cleaned) , then just fill it with freshly ground coffee, peel off a foil cap sticker (about 100 come in the kit), place that sticker loosely in place over the edge of the newly filled pod (making sure that you put it on fairly straight), take the "presser downer" ring (also provided in the kit) and rotate, making sure there is a tight seal between the foil and cup. Pretty straightforward (after doing it once). However, the negatives are that you have to clean out the old cups (or at least a bunch of them), remove the original foil seals using a box cutter (can be dangerous with a sharp knife and wet hands) and make sure any new coffee you just poured into pod/cup isnt interfering with the seal on the lip of the cup...There's a knack to it but its not super hard, just takes 'a feel'. Coffee tends to get all over the place. It takes time. Its messy. It takes some experimentation to fill the right kind of cup, with the right amount and grind of coffee... Know that pods have a bar code on them that tell the vertuo machines how much water, time & pressure to pump into the pod to make the brew... so the same coffee will brew different with different color & sized pods... I overfilled a couple pods, thinking that would result in a stronger cup, but when I overfilled a pod, it would tend to overpressurize during the brew and blow off the foil, making a bigger mess inside the coffee maker itself. Message to you...DONT OVERFILL THE PODS... but underfilling or using too coarse a grind means watery weak coffee. So, be prepared to play around with different variables. There *is* a solution to the math. My bottom line is that it did save me a few dollars, but the hassle only seems to pay off when I drink a lot of cups...Between the cost of the bulk coffee, the kit cost (a one time investment) and the foil stickers (cheap, but an ongoing cost) , I estimate that I saved roughly 25%-33% of the cost vs. the pre-filled cups...so maybe $0.25-$0.30 cents per cup...that will add up, but it ain't going to make you rich quick... After some experimentation, I now tend to get pretty good cups from store bought, cheaper coffee...If you are a busy mom or dad, or working person...it might not be worth it...but for the 'coffee-a-holic', starbucky guzzler who has more time on their hands but tends to get annoyed at the price of brand named coffee, this might just work for you.

These aluminum foil seals are a great product if you like to reuse your Nespresso capsules. The quality is very good, they stick well, and they make it easy to recycle the original capsules that come with the machine. They are also very affordable and perfect for people who prefer to refill capsules with their favorite coffee. Sometimes the coffee that comes with Nespresso capsules is not exactly what we like, so these seals give you the freedom to use the coffee you love. It’s a great way to customize your coffee and reduce waste at the same time. The only downside is that refilling the capsules takes time. If you have a very busy lifestyle, this process may feel a bit slow and inconvenient. It would be great if there were a faster option or a system that makes filling the capsules quicker while still using these seals. Overall, I really like this product and recommend it for coffee lovers who enjoy customizing their coffee and reusing their capsules.

This is a great money saver , works great

I can’t recommend this more. I’ve had it for four months. I started with a good supply of about 30 original pods, so I could rotate them. I make about 15 at a time (I drink one cup a day) They are super easy to make. The original pods were a little more difficult to open, you need a good exacto knife, and I had a small craft one that made it easier. Once that was done, the already refilled ones are easy to peel off and refill. Filing with your favorite coffee is easy, and the holder supports the pod. Use the brush to clean the edges off. Placing the new seal on is a little bit of a learning curve, but it’s not too hard. I use the other end of the brush the run around the inside of the edge to help seal, then press the rest down firmly and any extra down around. Some people have said their machine quit running with these refilled pods but I’ve had absolutely no problem. Does it take some time? Sure, you have to open the pods, empty the coffee, wash the pods, dry them, and sit down to refill them. I do most of this in front of the TV with a movie on. So really on my down time.

Alors pour mon petit café du matin, je cherchais une solution pour la vertuo, un système un peu plus écologique et légèrement moins onéreux (on va pas se le cacher les capsules Nescafé coûte cher).... Donc j'ai vu ce petit kit que j'ai commandé sans hésiter et je n'ai qu'une chose à dire EXTRA !!! Alors bien évidemment il faut un peu d'entraînement, personnellement au bout de la troisième capsules j'avais déjà trouvé le truc... J'ai joint des photos pas à pas de la préparation de la capsule, alors au moment de "tasser"(photo 3) le café à l'aide de la cuillère n'hésitez pas à bien appuyer, plus vous tasserez votre café plus belle sera votre mousse (le même système qu'une machine à café horeca par exemple)... donc voilà en espérant que mon commentaire vous aidera dans votre achat et même dans la préparation de votre capsule pour moi belle découverte qui est adopté....

Excelente producto soñado para un café riquísimo

J’adore mon café mélange personnel. Avec les pellicules d’aluminium et le boîtier, je peux remettre du café dans mes capsules utilisées. L’utilisation nécessite de vider le café utilisé, nettoyer la capsule et remettre du café dedans. Ensuite on peut facilement coller la pellicule d’aluminium. Avec la pointe d’aluminium excédentaire, il est facile de bien aligner le papier sur le moule pour ensuite utiliser la partie supérieure et sceller la capsule. Le résultat est parfait dans ma machine Nespresso Vertuo Next. Perfect as expected!

Die Klebefolie hält gut auf den Nespresso Vertuo Kapseln, somit entsteht nicht zu viel Müll und man kann seinen Lieblingskaffee verwendet. Das beigefügte Zubehör hilft bei der Befüllung der Kapseln. Top Produkt.

Excellent kit and so easy to do, save £££ vs buying original. Remember each pod has a barcode which controls temp etc. These need to be unobstructed and not scratched. Use this kit to keep them that way! 1. Shows kit minus plastic spoon. Also used pod 2. Run sharp knife around outside. I push mine up againest the rim. Don’t cut the rim or pod itself. Pressure to move knife through the lid is very light. 3. Note the amount of coffee and it’s level 4. Shake out coffee, wash out and dry (important, wetness causes problems). Be careful not to dent pod. Any dent can be gentle pushed out, usual to find pod slightly dented. 5. I found one heaped scoop was enough. Use ground coffee (any flavour you want!) and pat gently into pod. Level of coffee must be below the rim. Pat pressure same for pushing knife around lid. Use the brush and brush off any grains on outside rim part. 6. Apply foil. I ran the wrong end of the brush around the rim before running my nail around it. 7. Push down any foil on the sides but make sure it doesn’t affect bar code underneath. 8. Done! Note the little nib in the Wood, I use this to align my foil. The tab I bend back over the top otherwise it gets int he way of the barcode. There you go, the foils just peel off meaning no need to cut. I have reused my pods many many times and refilling a pod and resealing takes about a minute if being careful. Crema on top is the same and no taste or other problems. Substantially saves on cost and recycling.
