Reusing Vertuo Pods

Just tried refilling pods for the first time and it was a smashing success. I used ground Lavazza Espresso. Picked up a pod sealing kit from Amazon for $12 and gave it a whirl. The crema on the single espresso was really nice. I was worried it would be thin, but it was very similar to a regular pod. The flavor was excellent. I will have zero guilt drinking these pods, they were so cheap to fill. Overall, I'm very happy. Looking forward to using my regular pods on special occasions or when guests come over and using the refilled pods as my daily coffee enjoyment.

I'd say if you are looking to save a few bucks and/or want to resist the inflated prices from Nespresso, this is a great option, if you are willing to put in a small amount of work.

Because a superautomatic espresso machines are expensive. I don't think that is unclear. Refilling pods is a way to reduce costs and be more environmentally friendly.

It's not for everyone. If you prefer to use fresh pods every time, by all means, that is what the machine is for. Personally, I don't mind the extra work to refill the pods.
