Has anyone tried any Nespresso compatibles.

If so which ones would you recommend?

Cheers,

I’ve tried the Starbucks ones, carte noir ones and also ones from Lidl. The only ones rebought again is the Starbucks ones

I assume that you mean that other than the Starbucks ones they didn't compare favourably with genuine Nespresso.

There is a recent Which report - does anyone have that.

Nothing compares to genuine Nespresso capsules.

Even so, of those third-party capsules that I’ve tried (and it’s been quite a few), Starbucks’ Espresso, and L’Or Ristretto capsules are the best.

BTW, only L’Or manufacture their capsules in aluminium (like Nespresso).

Thanks,

Certainly a lit of compatible are priced at only a few pence cheaper than Nespresso so I can't see why people would take the risk.

However, at the moment I'm trying the Aldi Ristretto - these are pretty good and at 20p each are a significant saving over Nespresso.

Anyone tried any of the refillable nespresso pods? Do they function well? Damage the machine at all?

Clearly a big appeal of the nespresso machine is its clean and simple but occasionally it'd be nice to be able to use other coffee blends without the need for a second machine.
