Works Great! Needs a measuring soon in kit
I ordered two different types of Vertuo pod covers to see which I liked best. One was these silicone covers and the other was the Geesta foil covers sold here on Amazon. These were the best hands down. I have had no leaks, no problems with spilled grounds, or water not going through the pod.That said, the kit needs a few tweaks. First, there are an odd number of covers, only three. If you are a couple, buy two sets. Second, the tiny scoop is worthless. The kit that Geesta sells comes with a larger measuring spoon that works great for filling coffee sized pods AND it is nearly the pod diameter, so it makes leveling the coffee easy. If you only want to refill pods that are smaller portion, you will need to experiment to find the right amount of coffee to use.A couple of tips that have worked for me:1. Do not overfill the pods. Use a measuring spoon and ensure you have about 5mm gap from the top of the coffee to the pod top. This ensures that you can get the lid on and that water can flow through the pod itself.2. Do not overpack the coffee! The Vertuo is not an espresso machine. Fill the coffee and then just LIGHTLY tap the spoon to level the surface. If you pack it, water will not be able to flow through the coffee grounds to make coffee. You also risk getting the needle that inserts onto the pod clogged.3. Use genuine Vertuo pods. You need the code on the bottom for the machine to read so it makes the right size of coffee. Make sure the pod shells are dry before refilling or using the refilled pods in your machine. The same goes for the lid in the kit. Water will spoil the coffee inside and can cause issues with the machine. Just lightly dry the cleaned shell and lid or dry overnight before using.4. Use the right grind of coffee!! I have used both medium fine and more medium and got the best results with medium fine (stronger coffee). Powder will clog the holes. Do not pulverize your beans too much.5. Use the filled pods within a day or two. There are holes in the lid that will degrade the coffee if kept too long. This set is best for those who fill pods just before brewing or the night before. I can easily fill several pod shells within a minute so it does not take long. Given the holes on top, keep the pods upright until used so coffee grounds do not leak out.I much prefer this system over the foil covers. I found those a pain to use as they do not always adhere well and they take too long to put on compared to the silicone tops, plus you keep having to buy more foils. I have also had issues with leaks of grounds with them due to the foil not sticking completely.If you have the extra money, get the Geesta system for their brush and measuring spoon, but use the silicone covers from those kit instead of the foil. The Geesta brush is much easier to use given its length and has nicer bristles. Better yet, Vivi Sun could offer something similar in their kit.This system is also sustainable for those into no waste. Once you use a couple of Vertuo pods, keep them and remove the foil (make sure the pod edges inside are smooth so that the silicone lids can seat properly. Compost or throw away the used Vertuo coffee and keep the pod shells. Once you refill the pods, all you have to dispose of is the spent coffee daily.

LOVE THESE!
These little reusable capsules are helping save me so much money and they work great with my Nespresso Vertuo. I have had no issues with coffee consistency or quality; they brew just like the normal pods. I've used them with both drip coffee and espresso coffee grounds, both brew exactly like a normal pod! I definitely would recommend this product to make your own pods, help the environment and save yourself some money!

It can be placed on any pod! It comes in handy when you want fresh coffee and saves money.

These work!
I love Nespresso coffee and I love the machine. But sometimes I want different brands of coffee and didn’t want to have to buy an extra machine to accommodate that. I was using the stick on foil lids from another seller but they take much longer to use and there is a learning curve. I was running out of the foil lids so I decided to explore other options. So glad I did! I purchased a three pack of these and they worked great. Just fill up your pod, put the lid on and brew. That’s it, easy peasy. I will be using these from now on. Excellent product.

Great little pod lids
These are great. 2 lids are included, a scoop and a little brush. A little difficult to seal until you do it a few times. Nespresso coffee more tasty and rich so far. I tried a cheaper coffee that was fine grind. I forgot to pack it lightly so maybe I didn’t have enough coffee in the pod. Cleaning the cap is effortless. Surprised that it made a frothy cup like the nespresso pods (I wasn’t expecting that). Will try another richer brand of coffee and maybe update this review. If you love your own brand and it’s cheaper, these lids are a must have

Cost saving & fantastic!
Love my Nexpresso machine however the cost of pods is WOW! I also have grown to love other brands of coffee. This silicone lids provide you with the option to switch it up to other coffee brandsDon't over pack your pods or these tend to come off when the machine dumps the used pod into its reserveHighly recommended, easy to clean would be nice if you received Qty.4 verses Qty.2 for the price...

Doesn’t work
I tried it on my Nespresso and the coffee tasted extremely watered down. Maybe I didn’t use it correctly but I haven’t used it again since my first try.

Saving a ton of money, sorry Nespresso!
These silicone lids are easy to use. I have maybe a dozen used Nespresso pods.The picture is a cup of Bustelo espresso. Makes a great cup with incredible creama.Works great with freshly ground coffee beans too. I use an espresso tamper ever so lightly. If you pack too tight, the machine makes a lot of noise. With this light packing, it performs as well as a Nespresso pod and a whole lot cheaper in the long run!

Works like a charm!
These literally pay for themselves in less than 10 cups of coffee! I was worried that the seal wouldn't be tight enough or that grinds would end up in my cup of coffee but neither proved true. I can now use my favourite blends for a fraction of the cost of the proprietary pods. Super easy to reuse and compost the grinds instead of having to send off by mail for recycling. Really happy I took a chance on these.
