GEESTA User-Friendly Aluminum Foil Seals Kit Compatible with Nespresso Vertuoline Capsules

Excellent kit and so easy to do, save £££ vs buying original. Remember each pod has a barcode which controls temp etc. These need to be unobstructed and not scratched. Use this kit to keep them that way! 1. Shows kit minus plastic spoon. Also used pod 2. Run sharp knife around outside. I push mine up againest the rim. Don’t cut the rim or pod itself. Pressure to move knife through the lid is very light. 3. Note the amount of coffee and it’s level 4. Shake out coffee, wash out and dry (important, wetness causes problems). Be careful not to dent pod. Any dent can be gentle pushed out, usual to find pod slightly dented. 5. I found one heaped scoop was enough. Use ground coffee (any flavour you want!) and pat gently into pod. Level of coffee must be below the rim. Pat pressure same for pushing knife around lid. Use the brush and brush off any grains on outside rim part. 6. Apply foil. I ran the wrong end of the brush around the rim before running my nail around it. 7. Push down any foil on the sides but make sure it doesn’t affect bar code underneath. 8. Done! Note the little nib in the Wood, I use this to align my foil. The tab I bend back over the top otherwise it gets int he way of the barcode. There you go, the foils just peel off meaning no need to cut. I have reused my pods many many times and refilling a pod and resealing takes about a minute if being careful. Crema on top is the same and no taste or other problems. Substantially saves on cost and recycling.

Does what it says!! Once you emptied cleaned out pods which is the fiddly and time consuming part you are ready to go. Obviously doesn’t taste exactly the same but delivers a very similar coffee, you get the crema but probably not as rich and found the crema disintegrated quicker. (My experience) Just need to find the right coffee now that works well for my taste.. I find the nesspresso flavour quite intense whereas the coffee I bought for this not so much, need something in between (Although the espresso pod made with my coffee gave me same caffeine buzz) ..Any recommendations would be great..

We have now ordered 2 sets of these (for 'bulk' production) and are ordering multiple packs of replacement foils. It's easy to use, and once you have mastered sealing around the edges, they work a treat. Unlike other reviews we haven't had any split on us. Even if we haven't sealed properly around the edge the coffee is staying in the pod. The wooden support really helps when holding to make the seal. As our favourite brand of ground coffee isn't available in Nespresso pods, these foils mean we can drink whatever we like. Reusing the Nespresso pods is more environmentally friendly, and also ensures the bar codes read properly. A sharp knife around the inside of the lip of the original pod quickly removes the original foils.

I like the idea of this. If it saves money and is environment friendly, why wouldn't you ? This product works well in as much as the taste is good and I like the idea of being able to choose your own coffee . When you factor in the cost of the coffee and the lids vs new capsules, you save about 20p a pod . Weigh that modest saving against the mess that refilling coffee pods causes and the potential risk to damaging your machine and you know what, I am not sure its worth it. Great idea , lots of faff , minimal savings

I was a bit dubious, but with a bit of practice, I can now fill two of these, ready to use, in a couple of minutes. Saving money and saving on recycling costs. They work fine in the machine, and so far I have re-used the same pods three times - they are getting a bit bashed about now so might be time to move on to another set from the bin in the garage! Good product.

Having read other comments, I decided to make up each pod as required, rather than preparing a batch in advance. The good points; pod holder is ideal (was using an eggcup previously), the foil adhesive is excellent. The downside is the quality of the foils, too thin and weak, 80% split in use. The foil should have a polyethylene film to strengthen the foil. The product as supplied is way overpriced!

After trying this for the first time today I am pleasantly surprised at how well this works. I thought I may have to practice many times to get this right, but managed to do it first time with ease. There is a QR scan code that links to a video on the simple instructions to follow. You choose your own coffee flavours , and save yourself a fortune. You are also being kinder to the planet as you are recycling. I used a fine ground coffee. Which turned out lovely.

Brilliant, was able to use the kit and able to make a great coffee with perfect crema from the first try! Very intuitive once you have your pre cut and emptied pods. Okay, so kit wise you will need a sharp blade/ pointy tool to actually remove the foil nespresso uses which should be included in this kit I feel. This is also going to make or break the kit as while the foils are sticky uneven surfaces or coffee will affect how good the seal is. The next is your grind size, you need a fine/medium fine grind that matches the coffee found in nespresso pods. Once this is set the rest is really easy. Saves you money, allows you to use your own coffee grinds, saves the environment and your new geesta pods can be reused multiple times since these foils have a lip which can easily be peeled off after use. So while improvements could be made, this is an essential kit for nespresso vertuoline owners and for your wallet in the long run. Bear in mind you will need pods from time to time as damaged pods should not be used (with dents or terrible seals) and I think it would be a disservice to nespresso for not trying out their wonderful high quality flavours from time to time.

Je mets du thé (Earl Grey) à hauteur de la moitié. Je ferme (attention lors de la manipulation, car pastille très collante. Super efficace. Je réutilise, encore et encore. Ai ainsi recyclé 10 cartouches Nespresso Vertuo et que je fais tourner à volonté. A recommander.

We enjoy our Nespresso machine, but even more now that we can use our own coffee! It only takes a couple minutes to grind some beans and make fresh pods. It took a little trial and error to get the right grind and fill level, but now it is really easy. Saves money and we get our preferred flavors.

Die Klebefolie hält gut auf den Nespresso Vertuo Kapseln, somit entsteht nicht zu viel Müll und man kann seinen Lieblingskaffee verwendet. Das beigefügte Zubehör hilft bei der Befüllung der Kapseln. Top Produkt.

Très satisfait du produit Seul petit bémol on ne peu pas en préparer trop d avance les capsules se décolle Mais franchement très très bon produit

I can’t recommend this more. I’ve had it for four months. I started with a good supply of about 30 original pods, so I could rotate them. I make about 15 at a time (I drink one cup a day) They are super easy to make. The original pods were a little more difficult to open, you need a good exacto knife, and I had a small craft one that made it easier. Once that was done, the already refilled ones are easy to peel off and refill. Filing with your favorite coffee is easy, and the holder supports the pod. Use the brush to clean the edges off. Placing the new seal on is a little bit of a learning curve, but it’s not too hard. I use the other end of the brush the run around the inside of the edge to help seal, then press the rest down firmly and any extra down around. Some people have said their machine quit running with these refilled pods but I’ve had absolutely no problem. Does it take some time? Sure, you have to open the pods, empty the coffee, wash the pods, dry them, and sit down to refill them. I do most of this in front of the TV with a movie on. So really on my down time.
