In this video, I'm going to show you how I change my Nespresso Vertuo Pod and hack it so it can be reused. This Nespresso Vertuo Pod hack will not only SAVE MONEY, but you can thoroughly enjoy your Nespresso Vertuo machine with you FAVORITE COFFEE! Trust me, you can love a coffee maker without breaking the bank!
The Nespresso Vertuo pod has a barcode reading system which can make hacking the Nespresso Vertuo pod feel like a daunting process, however, I'm gonna show you just how easy it is to hack your Nespresso Vertuo pods with a few items you may already have on hand.
You'll need the following items:
Nespresso Vertuo Pods
X-acto Knife: amzn.to/3BBSLoK
Scissor
Heavy Duty Foil; or foil lids from Amazon: amzn.to/3iUPUQf (**I've not personally used these myself, I make my own)
1 tbsp (for coffee measurement): amzn.to/3Axc0yl
Favorite ground coffee
4 oz. jar: amzn.to/2Y202zA
If you read this far, put a coffee ☕ emoji into the comments below; and let's take a coffee break!

I've been filling my on pods for years now. I started with used Nespresso pods and cut out the foil and empty as you did. I buy the replacement foils from Amazon and find that although the foils do partially cover the barcode on the pod, it still works. I have generally filled my pods to the brim with fine grind coffee and haven't had any issues. I wore out my Nespresso Vertuoline machine - it locked up and would not make any rotation at all. I found a video here on YT on how to replace the bearing, and I ordered the bearing and tools necessary, and with about $12 in parts and tools, and a few hours of hands-on labor, I saved my Nespresso machine from the garbage heap and it's as good as new. So quiet and makes froth like crazy with my homemade pods with my own fresh-ground coffee.

Sorry, but why buy a capsule coffee maker? They buy it for the quality of the coffee and the technology of the machine, if they later use any coffee. Can you explain it to me?

@JohnLockard Жыл бұрын

FYI, the barcode doesn't just control the amount of water. The list of things encoded in the barcode are: rotational speed, temperature, infusion time, volume and flow of water. You'll notice that some coffees come out "frothier" than others, or take longer/shorter to brew than others. So, if you use an existing barcode you'll get the same characteristics as that of the original pod's contents, which may be right, or wrong for the coffee you're brewing. It sounds like there's a group which are trying to decode the Nespresso barcode to figure out which parts of the barcode control which features of the brew.

Great video! Thanks for doing this. I’ve tried various refillables for my Next and ALWAYS had problems. To the point where I had to spend hours doing a full clean out of my machine. But your quick note of not filling the pod too much, leaving that little space on top, is key! Also, I have learned to stay away from the fine grinds of coffee. The fine grinds tend to “leak” out of the puncture holes and clog up the works. Use a medium to medium fine grind for best results.

Another alternative is to do what I did and purchase the flexible rubber resealable tops. I got two for $10. You simply take a used pod and quickly cut the aluminum top off with an xacto knife… it takes about 20 seconds. After you dump out the used coffee and fill with fresh coffee you simply pop the rubber top/lid on and you’re good to go. Super quick and easy. You do not have to go the extra steps shown on this video of trimming the bar code area and cutting tin foil.

Try folding the foil to a 3-inch strip of 5 thicknesses and trace your lid pattern on it with a permanent marker. Then it’s easy, as you hold the folded and marked strip, to use a SCISSORS to cut out at least 20 foil lids minimum. I hate the tediousness and danger of an xacto knife.

what if you put super glue around the edge on the non-barcode side t glue the foil on the rim?

Can you reuse the double espresso pods too?

@LindasFavorites Жыл бұрын

Yes u can!

@akhatri646 Жыл бұрын

This is the real way to recycle the pods, and saves dropping off the used pods to be recycled (which can become smelly and a nuisance). Awesome video, however be wary if your machine has a incident whilst using these home made styled pods you will be invalidating your warranty.

hi linda, i got a Vertuo Next as a gift. so i decided to try this hack. however, i nearly killed my brand new machine. so i would like to know which machine is yours? seems the "new" ones know your hack, so they have designed to make it harder to make pod copies. its still in ICU. so i am not sure if my machine still works. scared to buy new pods incase my machine is certified. very worried 😨 lesson learnt.

I have a vertuo plus.. the problem could be ur packing too much into the pod.. the machine spins the pod while running water through the grounds so it needs a little space.. that happened to me before, packing too much the machine thought it was clogged.

someone try with milk powder? or chocolate?

I've never tried it with milk powder or chocolate, but I read that u should put the items into the cup BEFORE brewing so it can melt or mix

Tried this hack..does anyone get leakage into the overflow ? Thanks

@LindasFavorites 2 жыл бұрын

Nothing leaking for me. But I use heavy duty foil instead of regular foil, and make sure the foil is secured or folded around the sides real good.

I have the leakage problem. Still having problem after using heavy duty foil.

@@thisisnotself8815 are u using espresso ground coffee? I had one pod leaked because I used medium ground. All my espresso ground coffee capsules are usable. The leak JUST happened to me last week.

@@LindasFavorites It’s possible my coffee ground is not fine enough. I’ll give espresso ground a try. Thanks for the response!
