All Lavazza Eco Caps compatible with Nespresso coffee machines are accepted through the Eco Caps Composting Programme, as are Eco Caps compatible with Lavazza A Modo Mio coffee machines. Nespresso’s own aluminium pods can be recycled via its scheme, but plenty of compatible pods can’t as they're made of plastic. Even after you've dismantled and cleaned them, you may still struggle to find a facility that's equipped to deal with them. Open the lid and fill the capsule with the ground coffee of your choice. The capsule has a stop mark on the inside. You can put in as much coffee as you like, as long as you do not exceed this indicator mark.

Of course, at first glance, neither the size nor the materials of these reusable Tassimo capsules are distinguishable from the originals. Otherwise, they would not fit into the capsule holder of the machines. According to the manufacturers, compostable capsules biodegrade into harmless substances. If several people at home are keen coffee drinkers, you could be getting through four or more pods per day, so being able to compost your used pods could cut down on your household waste.

Reusable, Recyclable And Compostable Coffee Pods - Which?

If you’re a capsule machine owner looking for an alternative to single-serve pods, reusable pods could be worth a try. But they aren’t as straightforward to use as disposable capsules, so they might take some time to get used to. The pressure at which you tamp (compress) the coffee grounds as well as the pressure of the water passing through it can affect the results you get, so finding the optimal setup could involve some trial and error.To see if reusable coffee pods for Nespresso and Dolce Gusto are worth buying, we've been hands-on with pods from brands such as SealPod and WayCap. The choice is entirely up to you. The 60ml size is perfect for a 'shot' of coffee, like an espresso.
