Pros & Cons
Pros
Make sure the coffee is filled all the way to the brim of the capsule. No coffee comes out around pod, tastes great, very easy. I use my milk frothier & it’s like starbucks!
They really work, are easy to rinse off and quick to pop back on. They work and their fast to assemble. It's the best way i found to use them.
This is the next best solution that’s environmentally conscious. The only time you will have an issue is if you overfill the pod.
Good for the environment and the pocketbook. They are quicker and more eco friendly as they are reusable.
Cons
Using the filters makes the coffee taste watered down and gives you a different crema that quickly separates out and disappears. Just sticking to pods at this point.

Price
I feel $14 for 3 small silicone disk is a bit pricey but well worth it since i use them at least 10 times daily.
Great way to save money over time.
Do not buy this if you are a billionaire and can afford buying the proprietary pods!
At 2 or 3 cups a day for 4-5 months i figure i've saved at least $400 over paying for pods.
Shipping
I read the reviews and the directions people stated and immediately upon arrival, i tried them out.
Packaging/appearance
You can tell if you are packing properly by the space left in the center after brewing which should match the factory pods, abo... Read More
But if you don’t pack it all the way, it makes a weak cup.
Competitiveness
I also purchased some coffee filters that are vertuo size to keep the coffee grounds in the pod.
Ultimately i did end up buying more pods from nespresso even after buying these, but i was able to make around two dozen cups w... Read More
Update #2: i reached out to the folks at my-caps and took their advice, and i’ve been making more cups that taste similar to ne... Read More
The crema produced with lavazza’s house blend rivals nespresso’s coffee.

I have not had good look luck with these on the shallow espresso pods

It is hit or miss with whether i get a brew using those pods

When i use the larger pods and custom set the nespresso brewing time read your manual you can do this then i get perfect brews that blow away the coffee that comes out of the nespresso pods
