I filled the capsule, attached the lid and out the capsule in the opening, but the lid on my Nespresso would not close. Anyone know why?

I had a similar problem, to resolve it, I ran the machine without any capsules (so it is empty) in order to flush out any particles such as old coffee grounds, then the capsule worked fine with my Pixie

That can be a little tricky, especially after some mineral build-up. You have to press down pretty firmly on the cap while turning it open - like a child-proof cap. I still love my steamer, once you get yours open, I hope you can say the same. Good luck!

I don't think so ! You have to use the Nespresso capsules (you have so much choice !) until someone finds out the way to create a capsule in which you can put your own coffee !!!!!

Same here, but we got them close..now HOW DO YOU OPEN IT? I'm afraid that when I bottle the Kombucha I wont be able to open them again.

On my machine that only happens if there are grinds all around the inside of the group head which make the seal faulty. Make sure you get 'up in there' with a wet paper towel every couple of uses. Also, u could be using a little too much espresso. That's all I got! Good luck

Did you put cold water into the reservoir, coffee and filter into the top and close the lid? That should be all you nee.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer. I'm not familiar with the Nespresso Capsules. It works with the K-cups but I'm not sure it will work with anything else. You could try it and if it doesn't work, return it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I've heard that some places sells the empty capsules so you can refill them with your favorite coffee... haven't tried yet, since I like the ones sold by Nexpresso... but will try soon! Good luck!

Make sure you took out any packing materials on the inside. Also, you can't have beans in it (I've made that mistake). I believe you turn it counter-clockwise to screw it on it drops into the slot. Might want to try contacting Capresso directly - https://www.capresso.com/customer-care.shtml

Can't help you friend. The instruction that came with mine , stated the lid is to remain open during operation. Sorry.

It sounds to me like the capsule is not being punctured. If this is happening the water will start to flow but is being stopped, thus the bump. I have never done this but try doing it without a capsule but be ready and have your finger on the off switch. Are you pressing the lever down until it touches the top of the machine? Also, if it is a used machine, check the manual, it just may need to be cleaned where the water goes through the capsule. If this does not help, let me know I will try to help. Bandit7342@aol.com

Have you cleaned out the unit with descaling? It should be done every 6 months to preserve the unit. If not, most are under a warranty. I would call Nespresso and explain the situation to them. I've had 3 of them and so far, none have leaked.

I have a lavazza machine so can't say for sure but nespreso capsules don't work in my machine so I would guess the reverse is true as well.

How would consumers know the answer unless they got their hands on a press release from Nespresso. Anyone think of asking them? I find if I use a hot cup then I don't have a problem with the temperature of the brew.

The pods seem to be a different size for the Dolce, compared to the size used by Nespresso. I wouldn't take the risk of trying'em out with your machine. Besides, coffee duck reusable pods aren't that great. You can read my review about'em, they almost ruined my machine!!

I have Pixie machine from Nespresso. It is working fine. You just have to face the tab that you open at 12:00 o'clock, and not fill the pod completely. I bought 12 and I am very happy with them. Buy coffee fine grounded for expresso machines in the grocery store.

As Brookley said, just push down a bit next time you put the cap back on to close the bottle up. It should pop right down and then you can screw it closed completely. It's a very snug cap, but can be a bit tricky. No worries. At least you know that it's keeping the Finest Fish Oil fresh!
