Can I use my other brand capsules in this machine?

No! BUT- ANY Caffitaly capsul may be used & there are many sources for them.

You can use Starbucks Verismo milk pods directly in the machine, and I recommend using the espresso pump with them. The coffee pods fit, but the Verismo punctures the base of the pod where the CBTL does not so you have to poke a hole in the bottom. My experiments concluded that it isn't worth the hassle to use anything but the milk pods, which do not have to be punctured. The milk pods make fanstastic chai and latte coffee. You should always use a milk pod first so that the tea/coffee pod cleans the head of milk residue.

No you can't. They need to make sure you only purchase their coffee. That's how they make money. And it's not just CBTL. Nespresso, Mr. Coffee...etc are all like that. But the coffee from CBTL is very very good. I'd say it's the best so far among all other brands in the market.

No you are only able to use the capsules made for the coffee maker. Nescaf has programs were you are able to get free coffee and tea! Also when or if you purchase the machine you can select free coffee. The customer service is outstanding! There are several different types to choose from I have had mine for a little less than a year and love it! Good luck!

Lavazza Blue capsules can be used only in Lavazza Blue coffee machines. I acquired mine from Caffe Razzi in San Francisco. You can check out their website

I do not know, but I would think another brand would only work in the product it was made for. Margaret W

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

I use them to make our own herbal supplement capsules. They're much cheaper.

No some capsules do not work on all machines they will get stuck and ruin the whole mechanism

if that model works with the regular Nespresso capsules, then this one should work the same way.

No. Part of the difference between Keurig and Nespresso machines is that Nespresso tightly controls the quality of coffee to be used with its machines, so doesn't offer refillable capsules. If you live near a boutique, you can sample thier blends for free. The staff is very happy to help with that.

There is no filter- do you perhaps mean the capsules? I have seen some refillable ones on Amazon, as well as some foil closures that say they enable you to reuse the capsules bought from Nespresso. Unfortunately I have not yet tried either.

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.

I have the machine as well as these capsules, but the machine is not absolutely necessary. For example, we used these for my son's cough medicine that tasted horrid. I filled each one by hand using a small pipette since it was a liquid medicine. However, if you are going to be filling a bunch of capsules with something powdery, then using the machine is definitely easier/quicker.

I've always gotten a starter pack of. 10 or so capsules with every machine, but you'd do well to order a real supply of capsules from nespresso.com after you order th machine....

NO! only on original Nespresso capsule machines:ie,"Inissia". You can use the milk frother with any machine.Go to Nespresso site..Vertuoline coffee pods are much larger&(dome like shape).

No. These are strictly for Lavazza BLUE systems and are incompatible with other capsule based machines such as CBTL, Keurig, etc.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.
