I purchased the Coffee Duck refillable pods, and they worked marginally but made EXTREMELY weak coffee with no crema (the espresso foam) on top. We were so bummed! We have a custom grinder and played around with setting it to super fine, medium fine, etc. and nothing seemed to help. We tried packing the pods tight, leaving a little room, etc. and still the coffee sucked. Stick with the capsules; they're expensive up front, but worth it in the end. Plus, Nespresso's capsules are Rainforest-Alliance certified, which is the highest certification for both sustainability and fair-trade. You can also recycle your pods now by turning them into Sur La Table. Hope that helps!

You can use refillable capsules, just make sure you get the right kind for you machine. I have used Italian brands of pre-ground espresso in my refillable pods with pretty good results. I find that it's best to pack the grounds very tightly in the pod. This takes a minute or so to do. In my opinion, nothing really compares to the flavor & quality of the pods made for the machine, but the refillable pods are still a good option.

I don't know as this purchase was a request for someone overseas. I do not have a Nespresso Machine. Too expensive for me. I'm sorry I am no help.

No Joan, only for use of Nespresso CUPS or maybe some other cups that are compatible for this machine or can be refilled for this purpose. Nespresso has many coffee flavors and blends. The machine makes an amazing espresso in the most simple and fast way possible. You can visit a Nespresso Boutique to sample coffee and get acquainted with the machines.

No. Any other capsules do not fit in the machine. Capsules are available online and at some other retailers such as Macys.

I also have Nespresso and just got the reusable/refillable capsules, they don't sell them at stores, only on eBay and maybe on amazon, work great! Nespresso machines use more pressure than most machines over $2000. My friend also has the one for $99, nothing fancy, but so good!

The Nespresso is strictly for making espresso. However, if you like lattes or cappuccinos then this machine will make the perfect cup. Kureig pods won't fit this machine.

I wouldn't think so,but I don't know for sure. The nespresso pods look much smaller.

Probably not. But if you go to the Nespresso website you could probably find a compatible one as they sell them world wide.

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

They don't work! I think it's because the steam expands the plastic capsule and doesn't get a "full brew" cycle. The metal or at least much firmer Nespresso capsules seem to contain better/brew better. We finally settled on "preloaded" Hi-line capsules at about half the price. They are about 90% effective, result in great espresso/latte/etc. Good luck. Brown

Yes, you can purchase those through Amazon and directly through the Nespresso website. Those pods (called "capsules") are compatible with the nespresso machines & are only sold under the Nespresso brand. K-cups (San Francisco Bay Coffee & others) are larger & don't fit into that machine.

Only Nespresso capsules will work, albeit I've seen some type of "re-usable" capsules here on Amazon...don't know how well they will work to provide a proper espresso type beverage.

Its not for a nespresson machine. This is for a normal espresso machine. like they have at starbucks.

No, I couldn't and it is not practical for multiple use with nespresso machine.

You should use pods,although I believe now there are plastic refillable pods you can use your own in. I really do like this machine and use it a lot.

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.
