Did you know that you can refill Nespresso Vertuo pods? I'll show you the exact steps to reuse Nespresso pods. By using this technique, you'll only spend around $.23 per pod.
Once you get halfway around the pod, it becomes easy to peel off the remaining foil. Remove the coffee grounds from the pod and discard them in the trash can.
Set the bamboo holder on the counter, then place a Vertuo pod inside the holder. This technique will work for both single and double shots, so choose whichever size pod you have on hand. Pour a scoop of finely ground coffee into the pod.
Using the plastic scoop that comes with the refill kit, tamp (gently tap) down the coffee grounds into an even layer. If needed, add additional coffee until the pod is almost filled to the top.
Place a foil seal on top. Use the tip of your finger to adhere the foil seal to the pod. As long as the foil completely seals the top of the pod, it will work. Don't worry if the seal is not perfectly even.
Finally, fold over the edge of the foil underneath the lip of the pod. This is an important step to ensure the pod doesn't get stuck in your Nespresso machine.
