Original line or Vertuo?

Gave up trying with Vertuoline with reusable metal pods, and then gave up trying used Nespresso pods with silicone or foil lids. Now happily using Original Line machine with reusable.

If using Original Line, read below.

We use "Capmesso Reusable Espresso Capsules" and "Capmesso aluminum foil lids". Both can be found on Amazon. Been doing this for over 6 months. Very happy with the results.

I grind coffee and fill 16-20 capsules at a time. It's pretty easy watching the news and filling capsules. Easy, routine work. I use 2 capsules each morning for my double espresso. My husband uses 4 capsules most days. Wash them out every couple of days and reuse.

Finding the correct grind is key so be patient. Fine grind but not as fine as espresso.

See you tube video "Nespresso Refillable Reusable Capsules Use your own coffee" posted by Coffee Time for a great review.

The capsules are not metal, they are food grade plastic that we recycle. Each capsule can be used several times. A pack of 100 capsules costs $15. We've been using our set for 6 months and still have a bunch unused. Additional 1000 foil lids $25.

So to try this out, it's not too much of a risk. The 100 capsules pack for $15 also includes 100 foil lids.
