Expensive, but outstanding quality and works as advertised
I tried to decide whether to buy this, or the much less expensive Refillable Nespresso Compatible Capsules - NEW Sealpod 2 Pack - Safe, Stainless Steel Reusable Nespresso Pods Work with Most Nespresso Machines system where I get two pods for $40, but have to buy packs of Sealpod Espresso Lids - Works with Nespresso Compatible Refillable Capsules or Spresso Luxe Espresso Compatible Capsules (100/Package) ). I bought both and figured I'd write a comparative review. I have a Citrix machine, and both systems work perfectly. The MyCoffeeStar is a bit expensive, but outstanding quality and works as advertised I find (because of their smooth sides) that the Sealpods slot into the machine smoothly, whereas with the MyCoffeeStar, you have to quickly flick the lever to get them to slot in. Both fit perfectly, but the knurled, flanged sides of the MyCoffeeStar may create a stiffer action. I read one review that claimed that these don't work on the Citrix, but ... they do. You have to remember as well to slip the green rubber flange over the top (the Sealpods already come with this affixed) or it will not seat properly. I thought I might have to fill these with properly ground coffee, and was planning on filling them with my $500 Mazzer Mini Timer Black ETL Espresso Grinder grinder (messy). Instead, I was able to use my KRUPS GVX212 Coffee Grinder with Grind Size Cup Selection and Stainless Steel Conical Burr Grinder, Black (~$50) and the coffee brews perfectly, with the right amount of crema on the top of the cup. Use the finest grind; on some of the cheaper grinders (or any blade grinder) the grind will not be consistent, and you won't be happy with the pods. Use the Krups, which is affordable, but great quality. I use Lavazza Italian "Grand Espresso" Whole Beans (2.2 lb bag) beans, and these create a smoother, richer cup of espresso than most of the Nespresso capsules. For this reason alone, I would recommend getting a refillable system.

Too bad - these had great promise.
I spent just under a month with these (I bought 4 - hoping the exhorbitant price would be worth it). I got them because I drink a lot of coffee and was concerned about the aluminum lids involved in all other pods - diy or Nespresso. I use a Nespresso Inissia. It took me a while to get the right grind - had to use 1.5 rather than 1 because the coffee comes through the holes in the top if it's too fine. Because I couldn't use fine, I had to use 4 pods to get a good cup of espresso (6 ounces). In other words, you can't do lungo with these. All that was fine, I was making good coffee and I really liked the screw tops rather than sticking on a piece of aluminum. However, with consistent frequency - maybe every fourth pull - these would get stuck in my machine. I had to use needle nose pliers to pull them out. I tried many different approaches to making sure the pod would drop efficiently down to the holding tank, but nothing worked. Finally gave up and returned them as I didn't want to ruin my coffee machine.

The design and manufacturing of this product is excellent, however
The design and manufacturing of this product is excellent, however, it did not come with the promised sample of coffe enclosed, making it very difficult to know the proper coffee grind size and quantity recommended to fill it. I use the Nespresso U D50. I have used varying coffee grinds from fine to medium and was able to get a full draw once but the creme was almost non-existent. If I pack it too tightly, the machine can't create enough pressure and stops early to mid draw. I really want this to work, so I will keep tying but it is not an easy process so far. It is a necessary solution to the wastefulness of the Nespresso pods, If I can't get this to work, I may return the U D50, I refuse to use disposable pods, even with the recycling- added option.

You can make great coffee with this, but you have to educate yourself first.
You can make great coffee with this, but you have to educate yourself first. When I bought this the first thing I tried was running my drip coffee Folgers through it, and it tasted like crap. I think this is what most people who are having a bad experience are doing. Here is what I've learned: 1. You will need a ceramic burr grinder, or access to a ceramic burr grinder. A blade grinder will not be as consistent and may not work well. Drip coffee is a coarse grind, to get good results you need a much finer espresso grind. I grind mine pretty close to a turkish grind and I am happy with the results. I bought the purple tractor manual grinder, it's cheap and effective. 2. You need to buy the right beans, I am having success with Lavazza Super Crema. 3. Pack the ground beans in pretty tight, but not too tight. You'll have to play with this a little to get it right. Too tight and the water wont flow through well, not tight enough and the coffee will be watery. Try to get it in the middle and you'll be happy. 4, You need to use the right volume of water. I have been pouring 25 ml shots, that's the ristretto size. Depending on how you pack it and what beans you are using you could try bigger pours. After doing all that I think my espresso's are better than the nespresso capsules. I usually like my coffee less bitter than most of the nespresso offerings, unless I'm in the mood for it, so for a milder day to day coffee with a subtle but very satisfying flavor I enjoy it more than the nespresso capsules. If you want to match the nespresso flavors you'll have to find the right bean and roast, but you should be able to do it.

Il prodotto è in acciaio inox di altissima qualità, il prezzo è alto ma si spenderebbe molto di più continuando a comprare capsule! Lo uso con la nespresso inissia. Ho scelto questo modello più costoso rispetto ad altre ricaricabili perché il coperchio in acciaio è molto più resistente rispetto a quello in silicone, inoltre non dovrete preoccuparvi di acquistare gli adesivi usa e getta per chiudere la capsula (altrimenti dov'è il vantaggio!?). Ho acquistato anche il tamper a parte per pressare al meglio il caffè dentro la capsula, altrimenti viene troppo acquoso. In dotazione vi sono 2 piccole guarnizioni da applicare su bordo del coperchietto per evitare perdite d'acqua. E' un po' duretto da inserire nella macchinetta all'inizio, ma con la pratica diventa automatico. E' importante usarla con il caffè giusto, altrimenti vi viene una ciofeca! Io lo uso con l'illy 100% arabica gusto forte (barattolo argentato), ve lo straconsiglio, vi assicuro che non rimpiangerete il nespresso, viene davvero cremoso e intenso! Una volta presi questi accorgimenti non comprerete più capsule facendo un enorme favore all'ambiente e al portafogli senza rinunciare al gusto di un buon espresso!

Ich bin leider nicht ganz überzeugt von dem Produkt. Vielleicht habe ich es auch falsch verwendet. Ich finde es ohne zugehörigen Stempel schwierig den Kaffee dicht gedrückt in die Kapsel zu füllen. Somit habe ich nicht die optimale Kaffeemenge in der Kapsel. In meine Nespresso-Maschine passt die Kapsel auch nicht so einfach. Ich muss den Auffangbehälter für die Kapseln rausnehmen und von unten die Edelstahl-Kapsel durchdrücken, damit sie optimal in der Maschine sitzt. Machbar, aber umständlich. Zu dem mitgelieferten Kaffee kann ich nichts sagen, den hab ich nicht ausprobiert. Mein Fazit: wer kein Problem hat, etwas Zeit aufzuwenden, für den ist das Produkt bestimmt top. Ich habe leider nicht die Zeit, und möchte sie mir dafür auch nicht nehmen, in der Früh auf die Schnelle einen Kaffee rauszulassen.

Allora, premetto che mi sono rivola alle capsule ricaricabili dopo aver visto in un documentario quante capsule usate di alluminio e plastica finiscono nella raccolta differenziata: un vero disastro. Dovrebbero pensarci i produttori, ma se diamo una mano anche noi a limitare i danni forse è meglio. Inoltre si risparmia anche un bel po' di denaro rispetto ai prodotti top di mercato. Purtroppo non esiste ancora la capsula ricaricabile perfetta: la maggior parte richiede un sigillo di alluminio, quindi si perde molto vantaggio dal punto di vista ecologico e salutistico, anche se poi il sapore del caffè non è malvagio e si avvicina all'originale. Questa della mycoffeestar è senz'altro di ottima qualità, ecologica, igienica, ma...finora ho bevuto un caffè tipo quello della moka, buono ma per niente cremoso, lontanissimo dall'espresso del bar. Ora proverò a cambiare il tipo di caffè, probabilmente quello che ho usato finora era macinato troppo grosso. Attenzione poi alla compatibilità con le macchinette, nell'Inissia entra con un certo sforzo ma nella Lattissima One non ci provate proprio (o rischiate di spaccare tutto). Insomma, sono abbastanza delusa, se volevo un caffè lunghetto avevo già la caffettiera tradizionale di acciaio inox, e poi non ho speso poco. Non l'ho restituita perché la tengo di riserva per quando finiscono le capsule confezionate e non ho tempo o voglia di mettere la moka sul fornello.

Für mich als Migrant aus Südeuropa (Wiener) ist ein anständiger Café (nicht Kaffee) eine Grundvorraussetzung für einen erfolgreichen Arbeitstag. Ohne geht nicht - gar nicht. Im Berliner Büro haben wir eine Filtermaschine und eine Nespresso-Maschine, wobei letztere öfters als nicht nachhaltig kritisiert wird. Die Nespresso-Kapseln erzeugen schließlich Alu-Müll, und das in nicht kleinen Mengen. Aber deshalb braunes Wasser aus dem Filter saufen? Bitte nein! Also begann ich mit allen möglichen nachfüllbaren Kapseln zu experimentieren. Habe Nespresso-Kapseln aufgeschnitten um Füllmenge und Mahlgrad zu erfahren und beides versucht so gut es geht nachzustellen. Obwohl wiederverwendbare Edelstahl Kapseln jedes Öko Argument entkräften würde, bin ich nach einer mehrmonatigen Experimental- und Erprobungsphase zu dem Entschluss gekommen, dass diese Kapseln nicht taugen. Kurz zusammengefasst, die Öffnungen (Bohrungen vorne an der flachen Seite der Kapsel) sind zu groß. Ist der Café fein genug für die Nespresso-Maschine, geht er durch und man hat türkischen Cafe mit viel Sud zum "lesen". Ist er so grob dass er nicht durch geht, ist der Espresso lau und schmeckt fast so faad wie Filterkaffe. Da unsere Nespressomaschine mit sehr wenig Druck arbeitet, hilft auch Stampfen (tampen) nicht viel, denn dann ist schnell Schluss mit Durchzug. Mit den Capsul-Kapseln bekommt man recht brauchbaren Cafe hin, ändert die Sorte Müll von Alu zu Plastikmüll... Die MyCoffeestar Kapseln stehen jetzt nur mehr als ökologisches Mahnmal in der Büroküche rum.

Il kit è fatto molto bene da un punto di vista meccanico ed "idraulico"(chiusura a vite di precisione, guarnizione in gomma siliconica, finitura della capsula, fori di immissione dell'acqua e fori di uscita della bevanda). Meno bene per le istruzioni che sono scritte in caratteri minuscoli con basso contrasto rispetto allo sfondo (è necessaria la lente di ingrandimento per leggerle comodamente). Con la busta di caffè inclusa nel kit la capsula funziona correttamente ma attenzione che la macinatura deve essere di tipo "Moka" o leggermente più grossa mentre la macinatura di tipo espresso è assolutamente sconsigliata (potrebbe intasare la macchina). l risultati delle mie prove sono i seguenti: sono riuscito ad utilizzare nella capsula delle bustine di te verde deteinato, con ottimo risultato inoltre ho provato anche con buste di camomilla o tisane. Un avvertenza importante: bisogna evitare di toccare la capsula subito dopo l'uso perchè c'è il pericolo di scottarsi. (Come chiaramente segnalato dalle istruzioni!).
