Nespresso Steel Capsules?

December 26, 2019 2:09 PM

I have seen ads for refillable stainless steel capsules that are compatible with Nespresso coffee machines. This question was asked but not really answered last year. I am wondering if anyone has used these, and whether they really worked, and didn't damage the coffee machine. And if there is a recommended brand or retailer. Thanks!

I’ve used one and was unsatisfied.

My better half swears by Waycap capsules—we have six in rotation. They are steel—don't know if that's what you've been seeing ads for. They work super well, and have not damaged our Nespresso Essenza Mini in 9 months or so of near-daily use. They're impeccably machined little things, made in Italy.

...and just to follow up, since this question is still open, after nine additional months of daily use those Waycap steel capsules are still doing great, still not damaging our coffee machine. We mostly fill them with medium roast Lavazza fwiw.
