Reusable Nespresso Coffee Pods

💰THE GREEN PODS SAVE YOU MONEY

Two coffees a day kind of person? Our reusable Nespresso coffee pods could save you $611 a year (based on a single-use pod cost of 95c and buying fresh coffee beans for $25/kg). Made from high-quality stainless steel, they’re designed to last a lifetime.

🌍 WHILE ALSO SAVING THE PLANET

You could save 730 single-use pods a year from going to landfill. Most single-use pods are made from a combination of aluminium and plastic – meaning they’re non-recyclable and can take 500 years to break down.

☕ DRINK THE COFFEE YOU WANT TO DRINK

With our reusable Nespresso coffee pods, you’re not limited to one brand of coffee. Experiment with different roasters until you find your favourite.

✅ GREEN PODS ARE THIS EASY

To Use The Green Pods

1. Check the capsule fits with your coffee machine
2. Fill the capsule with about 4.5g of fine-medium ground coffee. Use the back of a spoon or a tamper to tamp a little before closing the lid.
3. Put the capsule into your coffee machine and run like usual.
4. Remove the capsule and dispose of the coffee grounds. It’s fine to rinse them down the sink or put them into compost. While the capsules are dishwasher safe, we recommend rinsing in the sink with hot water.

1. How much coffee can a reusable Nespresso pod hold?

We created a dosing ring to help you in case you don’t know how much coffee goes into a capsule.

Our advice is to fill it until the coffee is level with the edge of the capsule, then tamp with one of our weighted tampers. Depending on the pressure you put on the coffee and the kind of filter you use, the coffee will be lighter or stronger.

2. How long does it take to fill your refillable Nespesso Pods?

As with all the actions we now perform automatically, like riding a bike, a little practice is needed to learn how to use our capsule well and without problems.

We reckon you can fill up your reusable Green Pod in less than 15 seconds! Which means your pod will be ready long before your Nespresso machine even heats up.

3. It is safe to use a reusable Nespresso Pod?

The metal capsule will indeed be hot after each use.

You should wait 1 or 2 minutes before grabbing it with your hand. You can however grab it with a tool and place it under water to speed up the process.

To make things easier we recommend you chose one of our discounted packs with several capsules in case you are planning to make coffees for family and friends. 

4. But doesn't Nespresso recycle their pods

Only around 40% of Nespresso pods are being recycled. And, even the aluminium that is recycled, won't get used to make new pods since the alloy of metal they require isn't possible from recycled material. 

We know the only sustainable solution is to switch from single use to reusable products that last. 

You can read more about the Nespresso recycling program and the damage being done to the environment by single use pods in our blog post HERE

5. What else can I make with your reusable Nespresso pods?

You can make tea, hot chocolate, and even hot milk foam using our Green Pods!

Tea: Use tea leaves, or empty a tea bag into the capsule. It's OK if you don't completely fill the capsule as tea is much more concentrated than coffee. Use the lungo button to get a full cup of tea in seconds!

Chai: Fill the capsule with your favourite brand of chai. Make sure not to tamp the powder very lightly (much lighter than you would do for coffee) as the fine powder can clump and block to pod.

Hot Chocolate: Fill the capsule with your favourite drinking chocolate power. Make sure not to tamp the powder very lightly (much lighter than you would do for coffee) as the fine powder can clump and block to pod.

Hot Milk Foam: Just fill the capsule with milk power (we recommend full fat - for better mouth feel). Don't try mixing the milk powder and coffee in the same pod as this will render the coffee far too weak. 

6. Will my machine lose its warranty if I use your Nespresso Green Pods?

No it won't. Using our Green Pods is no different to using another 3rd party coffee capsule such as L'OR or Starbucks.

7. How do the capsules not get damaged when the machine pierces the capsule?

Our reusable Nespresso pods have a gap where the pins of the Nespresso machine strike the pod, and then lots of tiny holes to let the hot water enter. Due to this clever design, neither the capsule nor the machine get damaged during the process.

8. How do I clean the capsule once I've used it?

It's easy! Simply scrape out the spent coffee grounds using a spoon and then rise your refillable Nespresso Pod under cold water in the sink. 

We've also got a great list of ideas you can do with the used coffee grounds here

9. Do you sell coffee too?

Absolutely! We've crafted our own fair trade and organic certified coffee, specifically designed for use in our reusable coffee pods. 

You can try our Green Grounds Coffee HERE.

10. Do you sell spare o-rings?

The o-rings/gaskets we use are guaranteed to last for the lifetime of your pod. In case you do end up losing them, or need more, you can purchase them HERE separately.

📝 Additional Notes:

Experiment to find the correct amount of coffee, and the correct pressure to use when tamping the grinds. We find about 4g to 5g works well. Also pay attention to the size of the grind which should neither be too coarse or too fine. Please try a few times to see what works best for your coffee and your machine – you’ll be surprised how good and creamy the coffee can taste!
