RECAPS Aluminum Espresso Lids Foil Seals Reusable Filters Refillable Coffee Filter Only Compatible with Nespresso Original Line Small Pods(Lids 120 Pcs Only) 37mm in Diameter(Coffee Pod NOT Included)

IMO, these Recaps are better than the competition and much more economical than those that came with the stainless steel re-fill cartridges for my Nespresso and for those offered by the competetion.The Recaps release from their attached paper holder easily and reliably - I experienced a few from the competition that tore while trying to remove them. Also if you place the Recap on the pod off center it can easily be removed and re-centered.I am using a Pete's Coffee dark Moca expersso blend in my refill pods at $18.50 per pound. It made 108 refills thus costing $.17 per pod. Adding the cost for each Recap at $.07 ($15.99/240) gives a total of $.24 per pod.For me this is an economical and quality solution since I prefer the flavor of the Pete's coffee at a much lower cost than the Nespresso pods. The cost will drop if you chose a more economical brand of expresso roast.I recommend these Recaps wholeheartedly!

Flavor: it really depends on the beans you use, not the foils. Recaps have a good system and I achieved great results with the right beans and the right grind. I invested in a better burr grinder. That will go a long way in the end.Ease of use: I cannot say it is perfect. Ready use capsules are more convenient obviously. It is a bit of a pain to stuff capsules, grind coffee, stick the stickers and wash the capsules again. I feel there is room for improvement to make it simpler.Value for the Money: absolutely. It is by far cheaper to refill caps, even if you have to purchase foils. I haven't ever calculated the exact cost per pod, but I can say with confidence it is likely only 1/3 or less of the cost of a purchased pod.It's a decent system and I would highly recommend it.

Perfecta para rellenar mis pods de café, tienen buen pegamento para el sellado y al mismo tiempo son fáciles de retirar.

Having been using these lids on the metal pods for a few months now.. I've found by being patient (not easy!), I get the foil lids to adhere to the metal capsules almost perfectly. Several other users have concerns about removing them - and their adhesive. I found a relatively fool-proof way of removing the adhesive ring which sticks to the edges of the metal capsule. First, I put the USED capsules (coffee grounds and all) into a small cup of HOT water. They should remain for at least 20 min. Take a capsule out of the water, and hold it lightly under RUNNING, fairly hot water.Take a pair of needle-nose pliers that are bent on the "nose" ends (they call them Jeweler's Needlenose pliers). While the water's running, yank the center portion of the foil cap off, letting the running water flush out the used grounds. Very soon, you will have an empty capsule, with a whole ring of frayed/tattered foil attached to the edges of the capsule. Take the pliers, (bent side down!), and grab the inside of the foil edges. Most times, the foil will come off in small pieces. Continue to grab the edges, further away from you, and voila! You will grab a whole edge of foil and adhesive! Continue to pull the adhesive/foil, and the whole thing comes off! I've done it in as little as two minutes after I've started the whole process - but usually it's a little longer. You end up with a really smooth and clean capsule - turn upside-down on a dish towel, wipe the inside to remove traces of water, and fill with fresh ground coffee!

We love nespresso BUT it gets expensive very quickly. These sticker caps allow us to clean out a used original line pod, remove used perforated top, refill with our own espresso, pack it down, put sticker cap on. We do quite a few at a time to make it easier. It does take a steady hand so I would not do this in a hurry. The reused pods will work up to 3-4 times with a new sticker cap each time. The coffee still froths and taste delicious. My husband loves his Starbucks so we get the best of both worlds. I was extremely skeptical these would work but they do! I have not tried these sticker caps with a amazon purchased pod. The used nespresso pods seem to work perfect. I thought I might try this with my own hot chocolate and herbal tea, I will buy again! Helpful hint: use very fine ground coffee/espresso or flavor is muted and taste watered down.

Bien

these things rip so easily and the adhesive gets stuck on the edge of my reusable cups when I try to remove the lids. They're pretty sturdy but I waste a lot of them because they rip.

Update - use it everyday - no leaks unless I don’t secure the lid properly. The pods age well, wash easy and better and cheaper than using the one time pods. Bought another set so I refill all 12 at the beginning of the week. Recommend…——Have used the pod covers about 20 times and they seem to work well. Better quality than expected .
