Can I use Illy coffee capsules

The 800ESXL Duo Temp™ Espresso Machine does have a POD filter that fits it and is made by the manufacturer. ESE PODs can be used in that filter to make espresso.

I had answered earlier that I did not know if reusable capsules were available for the Nepresso...........well, I just spoke to my daughter, and she told me that there are no reusable capsules to use with this machine, but this company has a great recycling program available. Carol Raines

The capsules work great! But for me, I have not found a coffee I like as well as the Apreggio I got hooked on.

I know how long the coffees should be depending on which capsule I use and I don't see it is a problem to learn that with few trials. Otherwise you can take a measured cup with the length suggested on the capsule and you poor it in your regular cup. Once you see how long it is you will be able to repeat the coffee easily every day.

Since the pods are individually sealed, a year or longer should be no problem. Just as a note: I have used Illy espresso pods in cans that were over 6 years old and they still tasted fine. Once the cans are opened (not an issue with the individual Lucaffe packs) the pods go bad in about 2 weeks.

If you can take the coffee out of the k cup you can use it in the pod. Any coffee can work in the pod.

Not via the manufacturer that I am aware of. They are metal, though, so perhaps you could find generic ones that would work. Note, however, the one has an orange cap and the other a black. So, we use them for caffeinated and de-caf, but don't know why you couldn't use one for your coffee, the other for cream.

It works with my Pixie Nespresso. Had a few off brand capsules which didn't perforate correctly. So I open up the capsules and used the coffee to fill the Coffeeduck. Certainly lacks the ease of use of the ready for usecapsules, but at a much reduced price. also, youhave the oprion of using any brand and flavor of your choice. I enjoy the option.

nope.. you CANNOT use the ones you fill with your own coffee... and nope again as you have to use the k-cups with the green dot like thing because this machine is designed to read the label. so NOPE you cannot use all brands... I had this confirmed by keurigthis was a huge mistake on keurig's behalf. and they are discontinuing most of their other machines to force ppl to buy these special k-cups.... go to their site and read the reviews... people are not happy with this new machine... this and the fact that they sell the my k-cup for use with your own coffee... and they sell bags of coffee....zSTUPID MOVE KEURIG! nope.. you CANNOT use the ones you fill with your own coffee... and nope again as you have to use the k-cups with the green dot like thing because this machine is designed to read the label. so NOPE you cannot use all brands...

I don't think so, these capsules aren't like "k-cups". The capsules for the VertuoLine have a barcode on them so the machine knows if it's making coffee or espresso.

Yes, i use the Senseo compatible pods. There are several brands that offer flavored coffee pods- French Vanilla, Hazelnut, hot cocoa, etc.

No, they are not. Nescafé has two types of capsules meant for different coffee makers : Nespresso coffee capsules are only sold at Nespresso shops and are much smaller than the Dolce Gusto ones. Dolce Gusto capsules are sold in the mass channels, that is, hypermarkets. supermarkets, etc. Each brand has its own range of coffee makers.

Same here, i know there are claims of reusable capsules, but never tried them. I only use nespresso capsules.

Yes you can as long as they are the same shape and size. What is interesting is the time of operation. I have found that the time of operation is at least twice as long compared to Nespresso capsules.

I used other capsules with it. Even obviously smaller ones. The smaller capsules have to be carefully inserted otherwise they fall through. Takes a couple of tries but it work. The Nepresso ones taste MUCH better though.

No. It only uses CBTL pods. Most capsule coffee makers only use their specific capsule type and cannot cross over.

I have read that they work in any machine that is not a capsule machine. They are round, flat paper discs filled with 7 grams of coffee. Sorry I can't be of more help, but perhaps if I knew specefically what machine you are using.
