Great product...research pays off !
First attempt was weak coffee ....so I dissected a 'real' capsule and discovered that they grind to a very fine power. That done, the next variable is the strength of tamping down .....not too hard ! Then I weighed the amount of coffee my little stove pot (15gm) had been using (sad ..I know) and how much was in the 'real' capsule(5gm). These excellent recaps are a tad smaller than "real" ....so I now use 2 per mug....I run the expresso cycle twice on each capsule ! Result !! Why all the fuss ? I do decaff and now have a brilliant tasting coffee, with no caff and it costs me less than my little stove pot ...never mind the saving against the 'real' capsules. Great product ...I'm having 3 more.New Extra advice ...borrowed this one from another review. Using a pin, put a circle of holes in the lid just inside the rim ..9 was the tip and it works for me.Extra extra advice ...rather than buy another 3 pack ..I bought 2 singles and now have 5 capsules and 3 packs of 120 lids ...way cheaper than buying the lids seperately.

Makes an excellent gift and alternative to standard Nespresso capsules
I bought this as a Christmas gift and it's a wonderfully well-made item that provides a real alternative to Nespresso capsules. I had never even heard of this item! Much better for the environment too. Very easy to use, with the cost of reusable foils the only ongoing expense. The person receiving the gift absolutely loves it! Highly recommended.

Great for the environment!
Super idea, delivery of coffee is weaker than nespresso caps just use a stronger coffee than normal and it’s gold. Fiddly with lids and getting coffee out after use. Still doing my bit for the environment !

Waste of money
Useless, didn’t work very well at all - waste of money. Weak coffee (tried several) , pod often jams in the machine. Putting the foils on is a faff. Now in landfill 😟

Eco friendly!
They are more eco friendly, hence I am still using them. The coffee is lighter, and it is a bit of a work to refill them each time after use.I like them cause i serves the purpose, reusable, and fairly good coffee.

Coffee tastes better with these and practice
Really nice set and once I had the method nailed the coffee is better.Essentially, don't overfill, about 3mm post gentle tamp and for me two pods gives the same strength as one standard strong nespresso pod. I used illy espresso ground coffee. Nice resultsCost wise, whilst cheaper than a genuine pod it is not by much for me. Don't forget, I use twice as many of these.I am pretty sure I see a move away from pods at home to a 'proper' espresso machine in my future. Roll on xmas

reducing plastic waste
I bought these to reduce plastic waste as we previously had a Tassimo and there is no easy way to either recycle the pods or to buy reusable ones. These are pretty neat and we use them for morning coffee every day. I make up the capsules the night before. My main caution would be that if you are using some plastic capsules as well as these, don't accidentally chuck these ones in the bin when you empty the bin compartment. It would be an expensive mistake! (My husband did this whilst we were using Nespresso pods that came with the machine and we had to search through the bin to find them).

Perfect for people who don't like coffee
To put this simply this is impossible to make a good expresso.There is always too much water. so you end up with some hot water that tastes like coffeeif you like coffee, don't do the same mistake as I did.
