    1: you didn't get much crema cuz your grind is too coarse
    2: you need to tamp down hard in order to build up the neccesary pressure in order to extract a rich and undiluted shot full of thick creamy crema
    3: do not fill it up to the top, the nespresso machines usually have a built in extraction ratio. That's why the pods are typically filled up with a specific amount of coffee and the amount of water used for extraction depends entirely on the 2 preprogrammed shot sizes on both sides of the machine, you should calculate the amount of grounds needed in order to extract the appropriate ratio for a double shot or single shot depending on how much coffee you want

      There are also better re-usable options where it's very cost effective to buy many and just clean and refill once a week. I almost exclusively use refillable because I roast my own coffee. Also, most beans people buy are Arabica beans which naturally produce less crema than Robusta beans, which most commercial pods are. There are also many other factors that can affect the amount of crema. I also don't really think this guy likes coffee since his drinks are 1 part coffee to 300 parts milk.

    I picked up a nespresso machine today for 33$ from my local thrift store. I tried making a coffee and it turned out well, but I want to descale it before I actually use it often (today I just used it to test if it works with some cheap pods from the grocery store).
    I want to get these refillable pods as it will be sooooooo cheaper than nespresso pods. Considering I make coffee using a drip machine or a french press, using refillable pods is definitely the way to go for me :)
    I love freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee. I much prefer it to anything I've got from these major companies/corporations. I'd rather source beans locally from roasters who bring in fairtrade coffee. I want to know what country, what region, the farmer's name, the altitude and the varietal, and I never get that from these corporate coffee manufacturers....

    I ordered a Recafimil one for my Vertuo off of AliExpress, but it never arrived. I’m looking to order a different brand now because Recafimil don’t have the greatest reviews.
    To be honest, this video didn’t convince me. The pod-coffee really does not look as good, even though you say it tastes as good. The crema has less of a color. Plus all of the extra steps… so much time and effort, it seems like. You’re right about it producing less trash though 🤷🏾‍♀️
    May I ask how you store the coffee you stock up on for the reusable pod? One up-side to disposable pods is that they keep your coffee fresh for ages and re-using a stainless steel pod does not offer that benefit. Does that not affect taste?

    • @She_Tried_It
      @She_Tried_It 6 месяцев назад

      It will eventually stretch the mechanism and ruin the pressurization and it will leak more and more into the reservoir. I know from experience... Use the foil stickers or use this, but either way remove the little rubber washer underneath the lip of the pod. That ring causes the tight fit. I lost one and when I used the pod without it - it fit perfectly.

    The trick with using the stainless steel pods is that you need very finely ground coffee and to achieve that you need a kinda expensive coffee grinder.. like the minimum price for a grinder that can actually grind fine enough for espresso is around 150-200 USD.. Otherwise you won't get enough extraction and your coffee will look lighter compared to using a normal pod.

    • @gi1dor
      @gi1dor Год назад +6

      Oh common, any definitely don't need an expensive grinder, any top load grinder will work, just turn it on longer.
      Had a couple 40-60$, no issue to make coffee into the powder
      Also, those reusable capsules do not like very fine grind, instead grind it a bit coarse, you can check with any original capsule, Nespresso machines just don't provide enough pressure for very fine coffee and stuck

    • @strangev0id
