I use a similar brand of silicone lid with recycled pods. No problems at all. I've used Lavazzo Espresso, which is a medium to medium-fine grind, a medium grind store brand espresso and Lavazzo beans I have ground medium fine in an OXO grinder. All worked well. Filling was not critical, so long as just a bid of a gap was left. Dropped my cost per cup to $0.36 using the Lavazzo Gran Riservo. I've put each lid through multiple cycles without incident. I am careful to a cleaning cycle about once a week.
@@astekslim I like it better. It's hard to get any better than Lavazzo Gran Riserva. Nespresso is generally good, though not every variety appeals to everyone. And I am not fond of their flavorings. The Lavazzo is a solid dark roast just short of espresso. Not so bitter as most roasted specifically for espresso. Nespresso works hard to tune their coffees to their machines. But I find mose medium fine grinds work. But they have other good coffees.
Hi, It has been 10 months since you posted this video. I would like to know if the machine is working as good as new? Some RUclips videos suggest to avoid silicone lids as they are likely to damage the machine. They suggest using the foil stickers in stead. A response will be highly appreciated.

Good day, one question, how about the taste, is it better than nespresso?

These work really well for me provided you don't fill them too much or too tightly.
Great! Thank you for this. I just got a machine and I was trying to find a good reusable alternative to pods
Glad I could help!

You're soo pretty ! 🤍

That's awesome! Thank you for showing us that option. Love you!
☕😜
Do you get the yellow and red light after like 5 uses?
Yes .. Machine Error
I’ve been doing the foil ones, but I keep earring from others that the machine will eventually break
Oh no really?!? Hopefully these silicone ones aren’t damaging it. I’ll keep an eye out for any changes to the machine. Thanks!
@@SimpleFaithbyAnnie is the machine still working properly?
Where did you get your coffee mug I love it
IKEA
I bought 4 pieces after watching this video but it didn’t work. My machine (Verturo Pop) stopped brewing and red light blinking… Machine Error.
Try cleaning the machine out. Read instructions
You might be filling them a bit too much
I'm so buying this! Thank you!
Does it work with the vertuo plus?
If they have the same capsules then probably but check the listing just in case
Where can i get one
great video thanks for sharing
Thanks! Love the video but the music in the background is too much!
I bought the vertuo plus and the silicone loads but sadly my machine just would not read them - wonderful concept though
No way! Did you buy the one I linked? I am sorry. 😭😭
shame on you! you throw away coffee! It's the most ressource intensive food product and you throw it into your sink!!?!!?
shame on you Annie!
