Making a Holder for Nespresso coffee pods

[@NWGR]

I just found your channel a few days ago and watched your shop build. It was amazing watching you go through your journey of setting up a new shop, congratulations! Now, one thing your shop needs: a small router table for doing those small edge treatments so you don't have to hold your router in one hand and the workpiece in the other. :-)

[@brendanlenane2685]

Out of all the pod holders I've seen this is the simplest and best design out there. Nice work. Will have to try and make one.

[@carlproduces]

I only wish I found this video before buying something similar- great design and build!

[@IMZusic]

Have been just rewatching all your videos again from scratch - they're just so therapeutic :')

[@carlom6637]

Criminally underrated channel

[@patrikstridh3129]

Nice Chanel, cool to see something from Northern Europe! Keep up the good work, but I think you should consider to use some sort of protection against that dust. Oak dust is not a good thing to breathe! Greetings from Sweden

[@A88A88]

TOP TIP - Before doing the routing on the backing piece run a sharp blade around the pencil line. It will leave a crisp edge and be easier to sand and keep sharp and clean. Great idea tho!

[@ΕλληΠετρακη]

I really like your channel your projects are always well-thought and designed beforehand, you build really cool stuff and I also love your enthusiasm! I just wanted to give another alternative that you might like, I made a similar pod holder, with the difference that they come off from the bottom and the pods have just a little bit more space so that they move more freely, so when you take one from the bottom all the other slide down and you don't have to drag the last one all the way to the top 😊

[@FennahMakes]

This is awesome. Will make this one for my mother-in-law as she uses the nespresso off system

You should get it from the bottom. Because if there is only three left or two You don't need slide it all the way up. You just pick it from the bottom

[@jakobries2]

With the system he used the "Pods" would fall out. So just turning it upside down wouldn't help

[@memento316]

Not only for this reason but always first in must be first out!!

[@willaiml]

It’s time to upgrade your shop with a CNC! With your CAD skills you would be able to utilize it and expand your projects. I love your ideas and joy for creating, and creativity.

[@joseluislopes3956]

I got a pod dispenser for free when I got my machine with similiar design. Made from acrylic, 3 collums on each side, but your looks nice on wood. Good job

[@jakobries2]

Why is everybody complaining about the design he chose? Its not the best design, but still its functional. Having a slot at the bottom where you can take to the pods would require a lot more work and I don't think it worth it

[@MartinTheMariboe]

Just an idea for anyone wanting to make something like this. it woud be nice, i think, to make it so they slide out of the holder at the bottom. they could exit from the sides, with a slight angle up so they dont roll out on their own :) wish i had the tools to make this myself! looks nice

[@screwTHEwood]

Bottom exit would be better for sure. Good idea :)

[@iandrake4683]

You are criminally undersubscribed!

[@Crite68]

I just noticed you're in Norway, by the markings of the car in the CNC video.. You do awesome stuff... I'm going to try making myself a nespresso holder with a keyhole bit on the CNC..

[@garrygemmell5676]

Nice one very easy to make and simply described - Top vid dude!

[@Jas-sq5er]

Cool I like that. I have my pods in a Mason Jar. I love your holder

[@RoseWoodWork]

Despite what everyone says I think you did a great job, fun little project!

[@stevejohnson1685]

Hi, Alexandre - the depth slots in the back piece would have been perfect on your vertical mill!

[@flyingvish]

Awesome and simple build, keep up the great work

[@achappel]

Thank you :)

[@Arterexius]

Love your poster at the back! "don't cry about it". Although I prefer the proverb when it isn't translated ("græd ikke over spildt mælk")

[@ERCZ-4]

This is for sure a looker. Great desgin! But I really wish it could be optimized better for loading and dispensing the pods. It’s quite time consuming to manually load the holder, if there are more than 4 flavours. And dispensing the bottom pods when the inventory is low will take a bit work as well. If this could be bottom-dispensing, that would be better in my opinion. Thank you for sharing the process

[@hhhhrrrrrttttt]

All of you commenting on the design but i think its very modern and minimalistic. And i bet most of you leaving those comments cant even built his design

[@NateBury]

Cool project. You could 3d print router guides if you wanted to make a lot of these or just to make it easier

[@melissamessick8879]

Wish I could follow a line that well on a band saw

[@ooooooogzi6452]

Firearm company’s have developed a child friendly firearm....the coffee pod launcher!!! (Amazing video by the way :)

[@borjabarrero9314]

Hi there! Lovely video, in what cases you use the dewalt or makita router? I’ve seen you’ve been switching from one to the other. Congrats!

[@bodgeitwithbrian]

Looks great Alexandre but why not use a dovetail router bit and make it out of one solid item

[@AliQuandil]

Perfect! Good job man! Keep going

[@mmt3724]

Love it

[@markzwolfer2220]

Great build!

[@minopausa]

Well done. As usual.

[@DanteYewToob]

Hey, I'm curious about that 3DPrinted part you had attached to your hole saw.. What was that for?

[@Ermuggo]

It's just a cheap multi sized hole saw, each slot holds a different sized saw. ( ie. wolfcraft 2160 hole saw)

[@recognition5592]

That's a great build! Good job!

[@johnnzetrockk9404]

Niiice, awesome project :D

[@andymclaughlan3132]

Just found your channel and sub’d! But please make a router table or something. It gives me the fear watching you cut those chamfers.

[@970357ers]

A bottom outlet that runs like a \| |/ at the narrower dimension to the edge of the piece would allow you to pull older pods from the bottom and not allow them all to escape.

[@Jorge9VR]

Any clue on how to do the depth cut in the back piece without a router?

[@achappel]

Jorge RMZ hmm, chisel and patience 😅

[@GottaBeAbstract]

Just build out of 3 layers instead of 2. Bottom layer isn't cut. Second layer is cut to fit the lip of the coffee pod and the top layer is the layer that contains the pod (width of pod body not including lip). If you had access to a laser cutter this would be a fun and quick project. Or you could 3D print it I suppose.

[@Bill_Hartnett]

@@GottaBeAbstract I was thinking the same thing actually. (This is not a criticism, just an observation) There were already 3 slabs there, it's just one wasn't used. If you use it and did a 3 layer build you could do the middle layer like the top, but with both holes big to allow the pods to slide down in. Then you could use the plunge saw to join and save yourself a lot of sawdust and be faster too. Just a thought and it should work for those without routers. I like the design and you could build it with 2 forstner bits and a coping saw if you didn't have much for power equipment. You could even use an auger and a brace if you had to lol.

[@robertdaniel2564]

This concept would be good for K-cups too.

[@AndrewElekArtistry]

Robert Daniel who hurt you?

[@radudobrescu5402]

Hi.what kind of finish do you apply?

[@Neshan772]

love it tnx for video i enjoi it

[@brucemillar3015]

What are the different coffees - yellow and red ?

[@youwontbelieveit3077]

what tape was that?

[@apicquot]

Very cool, what kind of oil do you use for finish? I noticed you used oil as well to finish colored mdf, very interesting!

[@patrikstridh3129]

On the bottle it says Osmo 3040, a hardwax-oil. A really good one, I use it for all my bench tops and table tops in the kitchen. Perfekt for oak!

[@DanteYewToob]

@@patrikstridh3129 Does that come with the white pigment or did he add that? I couldn't find that here, and I was curious if I could pigment a similar finish white. I like that bright pale oak look alot and I think it would go great with some ebony grey stained oak. Thanks. I'm new to this stuff and I've never tried adding pigment to a finish before, any tips would be appreciated! :]

[@nl3kevin]

Hey alexandre maybe a idear make the underside a little bit wider bc than you pick the pods from there just saying

[@TheJadenDave]

Wouldn't they just fall out then?

[@nl3kevin]

@@TheJadenDave yes but I mean not to wider or make a slot to pick it easier

[@tayred81]

Osmo is the shit!

is it wrong that i flinched when you blew the saw dust into the camera?

[@normantorok5919]

[@alfredthabiso]

What's pods did you use?

[@ernahubbard2062]

without the opening at the bottom, the old capsules may never be consumed, First In First Out ;p

[@streifenkauzfilme8183]

I think the design and the video about the making of are great! ...but when you have some friends coming over for a coffee, the wastebag has a good refill too.

[@amermohammed3612]

I think if I put the stand in overturned , it would be easier for you to take the capsules quickly And thank you for teaching this skills , I am learn English tell now I hope you know what I mean ^_-

[@jonjohnson102]

I only speak english and im not at all good at it, your doing well. But as the internet is, “i am learning english, i hope know ehat i ment”

[@amermohammed3612]

your good keep learning tell you get what you dream about it

[@nikosgrigoriadis]

You could make a slot from the bottom to take the pods...

[@edwinghysebrechts9377]

nikos grigoriadis i tried this myself with a different design, but basically the same concept. I found that it’s really not worth the extra effort: the capsules have to have enough play so they slide down by their own weight, but a little too much play and they fall out of the hole in the bottom. Took me a long time to get it working, had to use parafine oil instead of osmo, seasonal change in humidity doesn’t help also... and in the end its very easy to just slide them up.

[@DanteYewToob]

@@edwinghysebrechts9377 if you ever try again, maybe add a bit of felt that is cut to taper from the flush wood, to a thickness of felt right near the slot. The felt will be a bit of added resistance and hold the cups in, but will allow you to pull them out. I hope you understand what I mean.. lol I did something very similar once in my shop and ran into the same issues. Basically shimming it with something like felt works the best, it's a bit spongy but not grippy like sponge or foam, it's the most durable for thousands of uses, and it comes in dozens of colors to match a project. I was designing kydex goods and stored my SAKnife shells like this in large stacks to be assembled factory style. I made them in dozens of colors to be made to order with different color combos, attachment and loop/molle backings.. etc. and having the shells above the desk ready to go was the basis of my whole system, and the felt made the whole system work. I hope this helps, because it streamlined my shop. I messed with that stupid thing for days! It was supposed to be a quick 1hr build to make life easy and it made my life hell! Haha my mom actually suggested the felt.

[@joseluislopes3956]

Nespresso made capsules are made of aluminium and they have a recycling programm. The coffee grain is used for fertilizer and the aluminum is of course recyclable as it's a natural elements. Is it perfect? No, recycling still uses energy that can not be from renewable sources, but at least its not plastic

[@joseluislopes3956]

@@Erickthedreamgiver they require more maintenance/cleaning, are WAY more expensive machines, you can't easily swap betwern different kinds of coffe flavours/bean types, have to deal with inserting pre ground for decaf, not ideal in an office environment. Both types of coffee/machines have their pros and cons, yeah plastic pods should be banned, nespresso uses aluminium while most others still use plastic pods

Lots of people complain about them actually. I myself refuse to buy them.

[@seanpaints]

Wow! That seemed like a lot more work than I would have thought. But what flavor are his pods? Lol

[@peirob]

Your safety provisions when you use the router shall not be brought as good practice!

[@BrendansReasons]

called a keyhole slot

[@zachmiller8823]

Great video and craft, but this is a terrible design. Unless you wait to refill the slots until they are entirely empty, the pods at the bottom of the slots will go unused. It would have been great to see you add an opening at the bottom of each slot from which to grab the pods. This way you would always be grabbing the freshest of the pods, no matter how often you refill the holder.

[@ulaB]

But wouldn't the pods just fall out at the bottom if he did that?

[@deeschoe1245]

I drink good coffee, comes in its own holder, a can, then a pot, then a cup. No crap from a tasteless pod!

@@axtra92 Thanks for clearing that up. Notice that in my original comment I did not say 'you must do this... or else', instead I made a polite request backed up my concern for pollution. I don't want to make anyone's life worse but if lots of people made this small change (which is probably cheaper in the long-run) then our decedents will have a lot less waste to deal with or do you want your great*10 grandchildren to work in garbage disposal because of the mess that you left behind?

[@liama5223]

@@AdrianTechWizard If you're suggesting that he not use those pods any more then you should reinforce your beliefs with actions. You are no longer allowed to use disposable plastic bottles. Use a recycleable aluminium bottle to drink water, buy your shower product such as shampoos etc in large quantities to reduce the plastic usage. Use recycleable plastic shopping bags, turn off your computer when it's not being used to save electricity, instead of using public transport or a car to get somewhere use a bicycle, reduce the amount of water you use by hand washing all of your kitchenware. There are many other ways that YOU Adrian can singlehandedly save the planet from the 6th mass extinction. Actually, on second thought you couldn't, and you won't. You're being overly dramatic by talking about how 10 generations in the future out ancestors are going to work in garbage disposal, but how is that a valid argument in any sense? Nobody cares about that many generations in the future. You don't care, because why should you? We are most likely going to be shooting our junk into space by then, so what's the harm?

[@toddsmash]

Hey Bro...if you like pod coffee, you're gonna love an actual espresso machine! Ever tried one? The taste is night and day! and....a decent espresso machine is usually cheaper than a Nespresso Pod Machine. Also...those pods are only single use. not great for the environment.

[@Gantzz321]

only holding 10 is a mistake, it means you can only put a new package of them in after you have used all of them. Meaning you cannot refill before you reach empty, really a bad design choice.
