“I am impressed with my pods, they are very high quality and actually work far better than I thought they would. I would recommend them to anyone who has a pod machine. I use a coarse coffee grind as for my stovetop, it works well for me :)”
“Works well and uses so little coffee makes for economical and waste free coffee. One less star as I find it hard to get good crema. My husband seems to pack in coffee better. Hopefully the tamper will help.”
Hi Katherine, thank you for your great review. We are thrilled you are using the pods. For any help with crema, please feel free to message us or check out our barista guide (on our website). We agree it takes a little getting used to until it’s working optimally. Happy Eco coffee drinking! :hugging:
“I’m still getting used to the Pod star, I love the fact that they’re reusable but I need to use both of the pods to get a stronger coffee. I’m experimenting with different grounds but so far I think it’s a worthwhile purchase. Great to be able to use the coffee grounds on the garden too instead of throwing them out as I used to do with the disposable pods.”
Hi Penny! Thanks for your review and for making the switch from single-use to reusable pods. :green_heart: Once you have the coffee ground to the right consistency, you’ll be drinking the best coffee. Try our ground coffee (many people reorder it so it must be good!), or pick up coffee ground to Stove Top pot grind, or get a hand grinder so you can buy any beans and grind them fresh. It’s a little like riding a bike. Once you get it, you’ll love the freedom. Thanks again for being part of the solution and welcome to Pod Star. :seedling:
“I really love the reusable capsules. Easy to use. I find grind fine on 3.5 (Zarraffas) works well. They’re more expensive than others but I didn’t like the idea of using silicone seals which end up in landfill. These are so easy and the only thing I throw away is the coffee grains in the compost. Delivery was within a few days of ordering. I am 100% happy with everything.”
Hi Lorelle,
Thank you for taking the time to review our capsules and for the great tip about Zaraffas! Getting good coffee recommendations is gold. Thanks for your kind words too, it makes us happy that you’re happy.
Happy coffees!

“I have been refusing to buy single use pods for our nespresso machine which was gifted to us for our wedding. We tried some compostable pods but the coffee just didn't taste any good in our opinion. I was so excited to discover Podstar. Finally I can dust off our nespresso machine and use it without adding to landfill with every cup of coffee. The fresh roasted coffee beans are divine and now that I've got the hang of filling the pods, morning coffees are a highlight of our day. We now have six pods so I can prepare multiple coffees at once. I love this brand, thank you so much for creating such a wonderful, eco friendly product line!”
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a’ amazing review Amy!
It’s wonderful to hear that you now have the chance to use your machine without the waste and enjoy great coffee. Thank you for sharing in the mission and for your effort to make your coffee eco friendly. Pod Star capsules are only as good as their users and you’re five stars.
Happy morning coffees!
Kirsten and Mark
