Nespresso Vertuo Pod Hack 2021

In this video, I'm going to show you how I change my Nespresso Vertuo Pod and hack it so it can be reused. This Nespresso Vertuo Pod hack will not only SAVE MONEY, but you can thoroughly enjoy your Nespresso Vertuo machine with you FAVORITE COFFEE! Trust me, you can love a coffee maker without breaking the bank!
The Nespresso Vertuo pod has a barcode reading system which can make hacking the Nespresso Vertuo pod feel like a daunting process, however, I'm gonna show you just how easy it is to hack your Nespresso Vertuo pods with a few items you may already have on hand.
You'll need the following items:
Nespresso Vertuo Pods
X-acto Knife: amzn.to/3BBSLoK
Scissor
Heavy Duty Foil; or foil lids from Amazon: amzn.to/3iUPUQf (**I've not personally used these myself, I make my own)
1 tbsp (for coffee measurement): amzn.to/3Axc0yl
Favorite ground coffee
4 oz. jar: amzn.to/2Y202zA
If you read this far, put a coffee ☕ emoji into the comments below; and let's take a coffee break!

FYI, the barcode doesn't just control the amount of water. The list of things encoded in the barcode are: rotational speed, temperature, infusion time, volume and flow of water. You'll notice that some coffees come out "frothier" than others, or take longer/shorter to brew than others. So, if you use an existing barcode you'll get the same characteristics as that of the original pod's contents, which may be right, or wrong for the coffee you're brewing. It sounds like there's a group which are trying to decode the Nespresso barcode to figure out which parts of the barcode control which features of the brew.

[@LindasFavorites]

Omggg! Goooooood info thanks so much! Now I wanna try same coffee different pods!

these people buy these machines and then do youtube vids without even knowing how they fully work. this is why most companies forgo spending thousands on adverts and just let attention seeking youtubers do all the work for them.

Sorry, but why buy a capsule coffee maker? They buy it for the quality of the coffee and the technology of the machine, if they later use any coffee. Can you explain it to me?

Because it's still more convenient that using an espresso maker ​@@NVM1962

[@crennyw]

I've been filling my on pods for years now. I started with used Nespresso pods and cut out the foil and empty as you did. I buy the replacement foils from Amazon and find that although the foils do partially cover the barcode on the pod, it still works. I have generally filled my pods to the brim with fine grind coffee and haven't had any issues. I wore out my Nespresso Vertuoline machine - it locked up and would not make any rotation at all. I found a video here on YT on how to replace the bearing, and I ordered the bearing and tools necessary, and with about $12 in parts and tools, and a few hours of hands-on labor, I saved my Nespresso machine from the garbage heap and it's as good as new. So quiet and makes froth like crazy with my homemade pods with my own fresh-ground coffee.

[@LindasFavorites]

Please send me link to that video! I'd love to keep it saved for future reference 🥰

[@elizabethmercado5977]

Try folding the foil to a 3-inch strip of 5 thicknesses and trace your lid pattern on it with a permanent marker. Then it’s easy, as you hold the folded and marked strip, to use a SCISSORS to cut out at least 20 foil lids minimum. I hate the tediousness and danger of an xacto knife.

[@LindasFavorites]

Thank youuuuuuuuu

[@ms.education4365]

I just buy the foil lids from Amazon...100 for $6, and the reusable pods from Walmart 6 for $10! No cutting involved. I'm too lazy for the art project.😔

[@tonyinsua7467]

Thank you for sharing. Like you, I love the way it makes coffee. However, the pods are a bit pricey. Can't wait to try this hack myself. ☕☕

[@mubgelg]

Great video! Thanks for doing this. I’ve tried various refillables for my Next and ALWAYS had problems. To the point where I had to spend hours doing a full clean out of my machine. But your quick note of not filling the pod too much, leaving that little space on top, is key! Also, I have learned to stay away from the fine grinds of coffee. The fine grinds tend to “leak” out of the puncture holes and clog up the works. Use a medium to medium fine grind for best results.

[@womaninattic]

thanks for the tip on the grind

[@marialouis8736]

Maybe that is my problem, grinding too fine? I've tried this hack 2 times in a row, and I got the dreaded error red cup signal on my NEXT. Do you still do this hack? still working for you Michael?

[@PROShineKITO]

Nice trick, Im engineer and I didnt see that coming, i mean to use 2 capsules to do the bar code trick, great!

[@bobbinsew]

This is a really good clear video about these pods, up until now I’ve been buying new pods but I’m not keen on most of the coffees, though I love the machine! I’d really like to see your method for Caramel macchiato, sounds delicious.

[@LindasFavorites]

Thank you so much for the feedback! I filmed it and when I went to upload from memory card, it disappeared so I'm going to film again this week! I'll have it up next week!

[@MS-zt2ho]

@@LindasFavorites update: I have twice made pods using this technique. It's actually pretty quick if you make one pod each time, time dependent. Otherwise, there seems to be slightly more coffee granule residue once the pod is used, if you make it with foil. But, I'm getting Lavazza coffee again 💪 as a precautionary measure, I'm going to clean the machine every 4 weeks to ensure that the machine doesn't get blocked.

[@LindasFavorites]

What do you need to cut and insert in another capsule for? Have you tried simply reusing the capsule without all of that fuss? It simply works...

Yes! I've since found a better method. Bought reusable silicon caps on amazon and use 1 pod, no fuss! ☺️

I watched this video about 5 days ago and had to come back to give you your flowers for this one ! Lol well I tried it your way and I forgot a step, then I got it to semi act right but the coffee started running over and overflowing due to my mistake of skipping a step. Anyways I did end up just ordering the precut foil lids from Amazon and that way I didn’t have to double cup it and have issues, literally it was so quick & easy with the precut foil. But the point is that you’re on to something with this video. I appreciate it because it’s a game changer 😂

Great video! I just bought a Vertuo Next and I love it! I am not sure that doing the hack will be beneficial for me personally because although you save money, making the pods takes time and I just plainly don't have the time and also, I love the Nespresso coffee. Keep up the great work!

[@pdw_art__musicoriginal3699]

Another alternative is to do what I did and purchase the flexible rubber resealable tops. I got two for $10. You simply take a used pod and quickly cut the aluminum top off with an xacto knife… it takes about 20 seconds. After you dump out the used coffee and fill with fresh coffee you simply pop the rubber top/lid on and you’re good to go. Super quick and easy. You do not have to go the extra steps shown on this video of trimming the bar code area and cutting tin foil.

[@AmirTavassoly]

where did you get the flexible rubber resealable tops? can you send me a link to them?

Ya I would love a link too. :)

[@tamarahbernixe]

Why use coffee when it’s a espresso why not use espresso coffee beans hence why we buy a machine like this smh

[@KSMKxLEGENDx]

Definitely not a good idea. Those don't provide a well enough seal. They may work for a while but eventually grounds will come out and mess up the machine and destroy it. Seen so many people use those to only end up messing up their machine over time

[@CandyMir92]

Another hack is double tapping when you start and it'll do a double shot btw.

hi linda, i got a Vertuo Next as a gift. so i decided to try this hack. however, i nearly killed my brand new machine. so i would like to know which machine is yours? seems the "new" ones know your hack, so they have designed to make it harder to make pod copies. its still in ICU. so i am not sure if my machine still works. scared to buy new pods incase my machine is certified. very worried 😨 lesson learnt.

just tried your hack with my new vertuo next nespresso. so far I am getting alot of 'back wash' coffee into the compartment for the used pods. I did use a fine grind, did not fill the pods (left about a 1/8 - 1/4 inch of space). I tried increasing the size of the foil by about 1/4-1/2 inch - which helped a bit. I am not done experimenting though - just a little leary of clogging up my machine

No need to cut the rim off. Use the rim to hold the foil over the edge and then trim the foil. Then place the 2nd pod beneath the 1st, providing the barcode while holding the foil in place. Easy. If your machine doesn't accept the pods try putting a small dent in the peak of the dome bottom to reduce the total depth.
