“Purchased the reusable coffee pods for an Aldi machine. Very easy to use and works very well. Much better than using disposable pods. The stainless steel pods appear very well made and will outlive any coffee machine. Also purchased some ground coffee which tastes great and is easy to put in the pods.”
“Couldn’t be happier with the pods, took a little bit of patience to get the grind spot on but well worth the effort. So nice to be able to choose your own coffee and no more plastic pod waste👍”
“I love my Podstar pods - and the coffee as well! I purchased the Nespresso Vertuo Plus Pods Ultimate Pack on the same day I bought Nespresso Vertuo Plus. The website navigation to compatibility before purchase, support for any questions, super-fast delivery of product and instructions for use are spot on. I thought the barcode thing with the Vertuo might land me in trouble, and at first two pods would not work. The button would just flash red. I just opened and closed the machine a few times and have had no trouble since. After about 50 cups of coffee I've learned a few things. Some pods can occasionally make a little more noise than others while spinning in the Vertuo. Because they spin so fast, slight variance when packing the pods makes a difference. Nothing concerning but it was noticeable after using the Nespresso trial pods. It's OK to put some pressure on the tamper (otherwise the coffee is a little watery). Wait a little while for the pod to cool before unscrewing and emptying - I learned that the hard way :). Having four pods is the greatest! Two used and two on standby make for a more seamless experience and I don't feel like a slave to the fill/empty process. The sample coffee provided by Podstar is actually really good, not that I'm a coffee connoisseur. I'm still trialling the grinder but it definitely needs the finer setting. Ultimately, I wanted a decent-tasting alternative to shop-bought coffee without contributing too much waste. I love my coffee and I love that (apart from coffee-bean packaging) my only ongoing waste is organic.”
“SS pods are very user friendly. A warning that they require a bit more pressure on lever to seat in machine would be great. Worked it out. I.e. SS does not flex like plastic so tighter fit. Coffee very nice. Subsequently ordered some beans. Only (minor) gripe - have not had any notification that 2nd order shipped. (More than 3 business days). Keen to receive this very nice coffee.”
