Reusable Nespresso Capsules: amzn.to/3VVs083 Nespresso CitiZ & Milk: amzn.to/3GdGdIT

[@derangedcrouton1864]

1: you didn't get much crema cuz your grind is too coarse 2: you need to tamp down hard in order to build up the neccesary pressure in order to extract a rich and undiluted shot full of thick creamy crema 3: do not fill it up to the top, the nespresso machines usually have a built in extraction ratio. That's why the pods are typically filled up with a specific amount of coffee and the amount of water used for extraction depends entirely on the 2 preprogrammed shot sizes on both sides of the machine, you should calculate the amount of grounds needed in order to extract the appropriate ratio for a double shot or single shot depending on how much coffee you want

[@baydirz]

Make sense. I will try that :)

[@skrimwatercolors]

Absolutely right if used proper this can literally replace an expensive machines quality for such a little expense. I use it at home and have perfected the process and it tastes like at any specialty coffee shop.

[@lenafelipe]

Another thing I’ve noticed is that if the grind is too thin you choke the Nespresso machine. It doesn’t have enough pressure.

[@LinDa-vx3ly]

How come, though? The coffee in my pods just moves around freely. Do they add air for pressure or something?

[@geckobrewer]

i know its a yr later but i would add, the nespresso pods have a built-in paper that - we presume - helps distribute the water more evenly (see James Hoffmann's video)

[@mcul3474]

Good effort but the amount of milk used was a crime against humanity ❤

[@sydneybird116]

Milk with coffee essence.

[@klaytonmoore5920]

The LeCroix of coffee

[@FlandraLabs]

Get a better grinder and use better beans and see how it tastes. A blade grinder is the worst of the worst.

[@PwinkleR]

Thanks for your message

[@polrusstomakriss9001]

He's doing just fine man ☺️😌☺️

[@daren212]

There are also better re-usable options where it's very cost effective to buy many and just clean and refill once a week. I almost exclusively use refillable because I roast my own coffee. Also, most beans people buy are Arabica beans which naturally produce less crema than Robusta beans, which most commercial pods are. There are also many other factors that can affect the amount of crema. I also don't really think this guy likes coffee since his drinks are 1 part coffee to 300 parts milk.

[@baydirz]

@@daren212 maybe a blend between arabica and robusta can work

[@alinaqirizvi1441]

​@@baydirz robusta isn't as high quality and tastes super bitter

[@joshuainoc665]

Hi sir badly need your input what grind size did you use for this?

[@LinDa-vx3ly]

I ordered a Recafimil one for my Vertuo off of AliExpress, but it never arrived. I’m looking to order a different brand now because Recafimil don’t have the greatest reviews. To be honest, this video didn’t convince me. The pod-coffee really does not look as good, even though you say it tastes as good. The crema has less of a color. Plus all of the extra steps… so much time and effort, it seems like. You’re right about it producing less trash though 🤷🏾‍♀️ May I ask how you store the coffee you stock up on for the reusable pod? One up-side to disposable pods is that they keep your coffee fresh for ages and re-using a stainless steel pod does not offer that benefit. Does that not affect taste?

[@PlantsAndInsects]

I picked up a nespresso machine today for 33$ from my local thrift store. I tried making a coffee and it turned out well, but I want to descale it before I actually use it often (today I just used it to test if it works with some cheap pods from the grocery store). I want to get these refillable pods as it will be sooooooo cheaper than nespresso pods. Considering I make coffee using a drip machine or a french press, using refillable pods is definitely the way to go for me :) I love freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee. I much prefer it to anything I've got from these major companies/corporations. I'd rather source beans locally from roasters who bring in fairtrade coffee. I want to know what country, what region, the farmer's name, the altitude and the varietal, and I never get that from these corporate coffee manufacturers....

[@kinnikuzero]

As others may have already suggested a decent burr grinder would go a long way. A digital scale would also be very useful to know exactly how much coffee sre you dosing.

[@abdulharis9556]

how many grams should be in one capsule?

[@kinnikuzero]

@@abdulharis9556 not sure to be honest since I've never used a capsule machine, it would be a trial and error process till you get the dose right and stick to it, that's where the scale comes in so your shots would be repeatable.

[@garyguest1999]

I tried the reusable pods. To much mucking around and cleaning up. Not worth the effort. Had trouble getting the taste right.

[@travelandexplore7]

Thank you for the video, it has all in it I was wondering myself

[@alansimon1354]

I gave this video a thumbs up for effort but really, how can you possibly taste the difference between coffees when you drown that tiny shot in a gallon of milk!

[@Cmon_Nah123]

I think those take a bit of messing with to get it right. Thanks for the review. I’m in the market for the reusable capshules and will give it a go.

[@jackmesiha960]

Is it suitable for minipresso?

[@REAL6]

I'm curious. Don't these pods damage the blades in the nepresso machine since it cant pop holes in the top?

[@PwinkleR]

I believe the lid goes in so the blades don’t make holes into it

[@JohnnyFD]

Thanks, I still hate Nespresso machines and would much rather have just a normal espresso machine, or even an aeropress.

[@zoezoe610]

I bought the stainless pods and they are too much work.

[@cybronichuman]

I was thinking if I actually need one and you said it yourself - it takes too many messy extra steps while the original pods are appreciated for their simplicity and mess-free design. I think I'll just stick with my Aeropress and maybe someday I'll buy a compact portafilter machine😅

[@onurkara8828]

But those extra steps took like 2 minutes max :)

[@chefe2152]

all good but to get any measurable results and establish if its actually worth it you need to use proper grinder not that one ,its not consistent enough.

[@badreddine2651]

Hi man can you tell me how is the best grinder, I'm tired of trying to find it

[@Evelinadav]

I see that pushing it seems hard, can it damage the machine¿

[@PwinkleR]

So far it hasn't (only time will tell), it is a little harder to close but I did get use to it.

[@stefankrstic4572]

@@PwinkleR Is everything still fine? On my Inissia it's harder to push too, but eventually it is working all right. I'm scared of damaging the blade even though these reusable pods are smaller which makes them not damage it. A bit scared to believe it since it's not as easy to insert these ones.

[@JohnCranberry23]

@@PwinkleR I am confused as how there work. The foil capsules get punctured by prongs when you close the machine. So don't the prongs hit the steel pod?

[@She_Tried_It]

It will eventually stretch the mechanism and ruin the pressurization and it will leak more and more into the reservoir. I know from experience... Use the foil stickers or use this, but either way remove the little rubber washer underneath the lip of the pod. That ring causes the tight fit. I lost one and when I used the pod without it - it fit perfectly.

[@leonguyen1204]

Looks like the coffee ground was too coarse

[@anthonyxuereb792]

I add the milk to the coffee.

[@reymisterio2233]

Nice milk shake

[@strangev0id]

I have a reusable one too

[@MobilityElectronics]

Espresso, not expresso)

[@jacksos101]

This is why you need a grinder, not a blender.

[@warrenparker725]

Black sheep coffee pods are amazing for nespresso the robusta is incredible, highly recommend, be a good video. Thanks

[@stuckster]

Except they don't seem to be reusable.

[@nindythelittlebarista]

great review, love it

[@youssefb7339]

I paused once I saw you use a blade grinder

[@hyper-potato]

The trick with using the stainless steel pods is that you need very finely ground coffee and to achieve that you need a kinda expensive coffee grinder.. like the minimum price for a grinder that can actually grind fine enough for espresso is around 150-200 USD.. Otherwise you won't get enough extraction and your coffee will look lighter compared to using a normal pod.

[@gi1dor]

Oh common, any definitely don't need an expensive grinder, any top load grinder will work, just turn it on longer. Had a couple 40-60$, no issue to make coffee into the powder Also, those reusable capsules do not like very fine grind, instead grind it a bit coarse, you can check with any original capsule, Nespresso machines just don't provide enough pressure for very fine coffee and stuck

[@strangev0id]

Coffee grinders are actuall scam and not good. The only thing people should use to grind coffee is the stone method. The coffee will loose all his aroma before it's even in the air

[@Theaveragepunter1]

Oh my. Looks like hot milk. Could you taste the coffee?

[@lenafelipe]

I agree. If the grind is too thin the machine will get choked. Not enough pressure

[@lavinialav2689]

Lol ur coffee looks like a milk 🥛

[@mesiroy1234]

Not right. Wtf

[@damianscott71]

The amount of milk in this video set my lactose intolerance off. 😂

[@allankjohansen]

a latte!? Thats a pint of milk..

[@paullacerda4459]

Your basically drinking milk.

I like milk

[@timmyturton1035]

Most of the Pods can be recycled anyways. I think I’d you love Coffee you can try different beans but it seems a bit of a faff. Think I’d just try different brands if pods until I found my favourite but the reusable pod does give you another option. Good video and I like your simple to the point style. ☕️😎👍🏼

[@strangev0id]

I think the most problem is the toxic aluminium for people who might be concerned about die-seases.

[@augustobraidotti6992]

Caffelatte not latte. Just saying.

"coffee foam"

[@victorediaz1]

😂😂ESO ES COMO TOMARCE UN VASO DE LECHE😂😂

[@polarpenguin3]

"This is the way to avoid all the plastic".....there is no plastic, nespresso pods are all aluminum

[@matildo4ka7]

They have plastic in it, but they will never tell you that. Problem with the k-cup is the price of the coffee per kg. With capsule it's double. You are a fool of you are paying for capsules, just buy a better coffee.
