Dualit EcoPress Aluminium Coffee Capsule Recycling Tool Nespresso Compatible Recycler - Premium Eco Friendly Tool Nespresso Capsules & Coffee Grounds.

Who have thunk it? That a product comprising 3 pieces of heavy duty moulded plastic could be so effective? The rave reviews were spot on: this thing is brilliant - simple in concept and to use. Satisfying in use too. The empty aluminium capsules, once rinsed, stack together nicely and take up little space in my recycling bin. The coffee grounds may be either composted at home or recycled via the 'food waste only' bin. No more bagging, labelling and dropping my used capsules at a shop 6 miles away to be posted for recycling. On the face of it £10 for this simple plastic product seems a lot, but I've decided that I'm happy to pay a premium for something which has been well-designed, seems very robust and works really well. I now only wish Dualit offered a delux version that rinses the residual coffee grounds out of the pods as well ( it is a bit of a messy process).

We use this to remove the coffee grounds from aluminium Nespresso compatible pods, which we then wash through and put for recycling. This feels a lot more sustainable than the plastic based tassimo pods we used to use with our old machine which I couldn't find a way to recycle. You place a pod on the top of the canister and use the outer shell to push down which inverts the pod. Occasionally the pod gets stuck on the inside of the outer shell but there is enough room to easily pull it off. We now look for aluminium pods when buying coffee capsules as some have a plastic pod shell which this device doesn't work well with. We've been using this regularly for around 6 months now, washing it up each day we use it and it's robust and still working as expected.

What a fabulous little gadget!! It turns the aluminium capsules inside out every time and I use the coffee on my garden. So much easier than the recycling service that Nespresso offer and my roses appreciate the natural fertiliser from the grounds. Definitely value for money.

I really like the idea of being able to recycle coffee capsules in the domestic waste rather than having to arrange shipping back to the manufacturer, This is a simple gadget made of good quality materials that does the job of emptying the coffee grinds out of the capsule so it can be recycled as metal. The only down side is that coffee grinds stick to the capsule and any residual liquid also sits around the neck of the container making it all a bit messy yo use.

It's not perfect: I'm finding that around 10% of the pods I'm using it on have either not fully flattened, or have ended up inside the reservoir with the grounds, but I'm giving it five stars anyway because it's a brilliantly simple idea, it addresses a globally serious issue, it's fun to use, it feels chunky and robust, and some complete genius designed it to look like a coffee pod! I love mine, and I'm planning to buy several more as gifts. Some things are annoying if they're not 100% perfect; this is wonderful even though it's not perfect. Highly and enthusiastically recommended!

Fantastic product

I absolutely love design like this: simple, analogue and a clever solution to a environmental problem. Once you try it you wonder how you lived without it! I leave the pods for a few days so that the grounds are not too wet, then give the capsules a quick rinse after in waste 'grey' water. I have tried using the left-over grounds for all sorts of things, but my teenage daughter has discovered that if you mix them with coconut oil and vanilla you can make delicious-smelling, exfoliating body scrub!

So easy to use, and it means I no longer feel guilty about using coffee pods as every part of them can be recycled. I thoroughly recommend this product.

Un excellent produit facile à utiliser et efficace. J'ai passé plusieurs centaines de capsules, elles ne sont que très rarement déchirées et jamais coincées. Il est facile à démonter et nettoyer. On peut presser avec les deux mains. Je ne trouve pas le plastique très épais mais malgré mon utilisation intensive il ne montre pas de signe de faiblesse.

I live this little tool!! Its the best! I wasn't sure what to expect but knew I felt guilty throwing the pods in the bin. I tried recycling by manually cutting the pods open but it took so long, made such a mess and hurt. I just couldn't keep up. This makes that painful, fiddly process take 5min!!! No pods in the bin, guilt gone, no mess, recycling ✔️ coffee grounds to balance the compost and use in the garden ✔️ This little tool made me way happier than expected. Love love love!!!

Love it. Extremely easy to use. AND it really fun to use! Like smashing teeny beer cans

Geniale Erfindung! Stabil und funktioniert absolut einwandfrei! Auch für Menschen mit wenig Muckies geeignet :-)

Funziona perfettamente con le capsule di caffè Nespresso, siano esse originali o compatibili (purché di alluminio). Con poco sforzo riesco ad estrarre il caffè dalle capsule utilizzate, permettendomi così di riciclare la capsula vuota di alluminio ed il caffè che posso utilizzare per creare del compost. Un prodotto semplice che svolge perfettamente la sua funzione.
