Refillable capsule for Nespresso Coffee

The Reusable Nespresso Capsules are convenient in part because they’re so easy to clean. In fact, these pods are totally dishwasher safe, and this can make the morning routine so much easier. Simply fill the capsule, lock the lid, make your drink, then empty the capsule into the compost and pop the reusable pod into the dishwasher to get ready for the next day.

Unlike some models, the Alchemy Bar Goods capsules actually use a latching top as opposed to a sticker lid. This means that pressure builds up before water is released through a valve of sorts. This system doesn’t typically produce as much crema as a sticker-top option, but it is much more reliable and simpler to use. As an added bonus, you won’t ever need to restock on tops.

These capsules are made from BPA-free plastic, and they’re rated to withstand the temperatures used in the Nespresso process. We appreciate touches such as this, but unfortunately, the flip-top design really does get in the way of brewing crema-heavy rich espresso. Consider this option as a convenient alternative to disposable pods, but don’t hold out hope for these to fully replace the typical Nespresso experience.

Because these pods cannot reliably produce super-strong coffee, we’re including them as our last pick. This is a typical issue with refillable pods, and it’s something to keep in mind.
