RECAPS Aluminum Foil Seals Compatible with Nespresso OriginalLine 120 Pcs

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!

I have used the pods for my keurig and it was a shame to have to use them and throw them away. This is an excellent alternative to being able to refill and reuse them. The kids come with an instructional so it is very easy to learn how to apply them to the pods, whether they are reusable (in plastic) or the ones you normally use and throw away. I can use the coffee or mix that I like and put a lid on it. Very good product.

I've been using the Sealpod capsules for a couple of years and tried several off-brand lids to sidestep the pricey Sealpod lids. Unfortunately most off-brand lids have big issues with the adhesive or don't include that useful little side tab.The RECAP lids worked well. The adhesive is slightly too sticky so peeling them off afterwards can occasionally prove a bit awkward. The RECAP lids do include that key side tab which helps when peeling off used lids. Mainly, however, the RECAP lids are much less expensive than Sealpod. I'll be ordering these again.4-1/2 stars.

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!

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.

Great seals. I needed to stop spending so much in coffee capsules and found the stainless steal capsule on amazon and bought it. It brings the stainless steal cap which is not bad but doesn’t get enough water flow. Saw these sticker ones and bought it. I think it’s just as drinking Nespresso without the cost. I have cafe bustelo (cuban) coffee and lavazza. The lavazza taste mild but great. Oh I have also pilón which is another Cuban coffee more acidic. Does a great crema for both. I just need to order decaf for my afternoon coffee.

These are not Kcup sized. They are thimble sized. You have been warned

Downgrading may require from 5 stars for the increasingly defective number of caps that come in the pack. I’ve been subscribed to these recaps for years and use it daily.They’ve always been the highest quality until more recently (~4 months), when more and more of the seals have issues where the adhesive tape either is too small / cut off and doesn’t seal properly OR is too large and doesn’t allow water to flow through, causing damage to the coffee machine and no coffee to come out.I’ve tried contacting the seller but their website is down and their info has been removed from the site. They used to be so easily reachable and wonderful, so the loss of customer support is disappointing too.I’ve unfortunately started looking for a replacement since the quality of the caps isn’t consistent enough.

Work well with the recaps reusable pods

Wir haben uns die nachfühlbaren Kapseln aus Edelstahl bestellt (siehe Rezi dort) und nun auch schon mehrfach die Aufkleber nachgekauft. Sie kleben immer perfekt, halten die Kapsel dicht und sind wirklich eine saubere Alternative für überteuerte Originalkapseln.wichtig ist, dass kein Espresso-Pulver mehr am Rand ist, das beeinträchtigt natürlich die Klebefunktion. Das sollte aber jedem einleuchten - ich wollte es dennoch erwähnen, bevor dies jemand anderes kritisiert.

Me gustó el producto pues son muy fáciles de usar, no ponen en riesgo la cafetera pues uso las mismas capsulas de aluminio que desocupé, el cierto que el sabor no es el mismo, es más suave dependiendo del café que se usa, yo use un blasón expreso y queda bastante bien, hace la espuma y me permite ahorrar. No dejaré de comprar las originales pero estas me vienen bien para ir alternando y para las personas en casa que no valoran tanto un café de capsula original.

Very good as described

A real saving for espresso machines. A bit more effort than the disposables but much kinder to nature, plus I can choose my own coffee type more easily
