Thanks for that info. Will give them a try. πŸ‘
In the instructions: For the Vertuo pod's, snip between every other puncture hole (Small nail scissor's).

Have been 100 % perfect, no failure's. Am sure you will be impressed.

I came with a variaty pack of coffee pod's. I then started looking for different coffee's to try.
Was then i discovered that Nespresso have a monopoly / patent and there are no 3rd party suppliers :x

They are expensive at Ca. 0.92p ish a POD :o

More research and discovered these. Recycling at the same time, a win, win !

Very much enjoying my current favourite Lavazza coffee's and saving a small fortune. 6 x 250g vacum packs at Β£ 19.29 delivered.

Tried the first reusable pod today as per your recommendation. Apart from removing the foil covers on the used Nespresso pods which were reluctant to come off! It all worked well. I went with your recommendation for Lavazza coffee and enjoyed that too. Many thanks.πŸ‘πŸ‘

Did you buy the empty pods as an extra?
Although I struggled a bit I did manage to remove most of the foil. The pod worked fine with the little bit remaining on the rim.

Peeled off the foil lids from the uised ones. Bit fiddly to get the last bits off :wink:
Work's a treat.
