LIHONGReusable Coffee Pods, Stainless Steel Reusable Coffee Capsules, Reusable Espresso Pods Compatible with Nespresso Original Line ( 2 pack)

Cons first:PRICE. I can get up to 6 of the alternatives for each 1 of these.Volume: It does not have the same capacity of the plastic cups, Usually I can get 1 full shot out my Citiz (2 small button presses) per pod. This only gets about 1.5 before the grounds are used up and I have to cancel the full-shot brew. I have to use 50% more pods per cup of coffee. I would have to buy 50% more pods, making the price a double whammy.This was the only one that was too hot to handle within 5 minutes of use (for cleaning)PROS:Tolerances were dead on. No force or damage to the holder/extractor like the other stainless steel brands. Much better for the machine. Not as much leaking into the holder as the plastic brands.SO easy to clean! Open, rinse, wipe. No scrubbing filters for hours like the plastic brands. No peeling away foil lids and trying to separate the foil/grounds for compostingThe packing done by closing the lid, allows for such perfect extraction that this produced the best aroma, flavor, and crema by far.No part of the coffee or water flowing through ever touches plastic/rubber in the pod before going into your cup. I know this is important for some.Conclusion: so much better than the others! My old stainless steal/foil (machine wreckers) are going straight to the recyclers and being replaced with this. Each screen that blows out on my plastic ones I am replacing with this. I am seriously considering spending the $70-$93 to replace my current collection today and being done with the old ones. Just enjoying the coffee for an extra 5 minutes before cleaning.

This product really exceeded my expectations, it does not affect the flavor of the coffee, it works perfect like a filter and I always end with a sensation that I'm helping save the planet because of all the waste we are avoiding.

The top could not be removed after first use. The metal and roughly finished was so flimsy it cut my finger.

The stainless steel capsule looks to be well made and it’s pretty easy to get it to open and fill.Too bad it doesn’t work with my nespresso machine. I couldn’t get it to fit and start a cup of coffeeI’m keeping the set for the scooper and tamper

Product is nicely made, easy to use, fits well and works in my original nespresso machine. Ejected fine and it is hot (as expected - its metal after all) when it comes out but not so hot that I couldn't pick it up and take it to the sink for washing.My only negative was that it holds so little coffee that even a stronger roast produces a weak cup. I'm going to try it with full espresso roast and if it's any better I'll update the review.
