The water went through the grounds so fast! I think if you had a bit more in the pod and tamped the grounds to compact it the results would have been closer to a true espresso.
I'm using same brown capsules (1st gen) almost 3 years. I'm buing 5 pcs, but 3 are still unused. I'm not using filter paper with this capsules and cofee seems to be OK. Now I'm buing one black capsule (3rd gen) and cofee is little bit better, with smooth cream foam at top of cup.
Sure, I will recommend you to buy a milk frother, IKEA has a very cheap and good one, use etc a microwave to heat up the milk, and brew your espresso into the milk. For at good espresso result, you should buy the 3th generation capsules, take a look at my latest video on making the best espresso with this machine. Hope it will work for you ☕🤞
The coffee (Americano) I make, are almost good as the original ones. But my espresso are miles ahead of the original capsules. Check out my latest video here: ua-cam.com/video/SKTjE1zddr4/v-deo.html (Sorry for my poor English)
Thanks for your great idea! We have the updated rich crema version in this month. It is effective and could produce more crema than your version cause the reusable capsule has been updated. Would you mind try it and we are totally willing to send the samples for you.
Check out my latest video, for more crema and taste: ua-cam.com/video/SKTjE1zddr4/v-deo.html By the way, I don't mind trying out your capsules, and making a video about it. You can send me a private message, thanks ☕
Hey anders where did u get your coffee grinder from is it a burr or a blade grinder and I’m guessing that’s just ordinary coffee filter paper you’re putting in the reusable pod
Yes it's just ordinary coffee filter paper. The grinder is the blade grinder, and therefore it takes more time for grinding, especially if you're grinding for espresso. Check also my newest video on the 3th generation capsule. ☕
I do it eyeball, but it's 9 grams most of the time. For a double shot you need 14-18 grams and that cannot go into the capsule, 10 grams are the limit...so go with maximum and make 1½ shot, but remember to leave a little space for the intake of water. Hope this will work for you Btw. Check out my latest video on making espresso, using the 3th. generation of capsules.
I think so, yes!... it's called: Dolce gusto piccolo. I use 2-4 times every day, and it is still running fine, after many years. Btw. consider upgrade the capsules, it will improve the coffee. Check out my latest video on making espresso by using capsule from the 3th. generation ☕
It's a learning process, how to make a cup of coffee the way you like it, with this pod. I'm only using very fine grained espresso beans, and I always start with a espresso, and will add hot water is to taste.
I have a machine that’s been collecting dust in the cupboard for years, I took it out today to test my new reusable pods. But the coffee didn’t come out smoothly, like s slow drip. Any corrections you might suggest?
Sure, buy coffee beans there is roasted for machines (espressos are my favorite), grind them VERY fine. Then press it tight into the capsule, leave a little space for the intake of water. I think that will do it. Btw. you should buy the 3th. generations of capsules, check out my latest video on that. ☕
Anders saw it, thank you for the suggestions. It’s a no go for the 3rd generation pods for me (at least for now, maybe later) as I’ve just recently purchased the pods. I’ll go buy some new coffee specifically for machines tomorrow. Kudos! Have a good day
Anders well.... We use this kind of capsules since 4years... we use the permanentfilter and use a tamper. Fine ground coffee. And we have perfect result. No residues of coffeegrinds. I believe your filterpaper just compensates a bit a too coarse grind and too weak compression. This kind of shredding mills i don’t like. The result is not even. Better buy in offer a baristamill.(80€)or cheaper a grundig cm6760 diskmill. And the residues... hmmm if the filter has a hole or is missing, of course youll have some. ;-)
Anders We still use the first in brown. Even we made accidents in the beginning and destroyed one, because we forgot to align the needle to the hole. But since then, we live the result... actually we got the machine second hand from a friend, who wanted throw it away, because he found at the end the capsules too expensive, and was too lazy to refill (now he uses a fully automatic). And for us it works perfect. Its the red machine with the amountdial and green leds.
Sometimes they got stuck... unfortunately! pour cold water on, then it will easily release, if not, use at spoon at the bottom to push it out. You could also try buying the very expensive "Loops 重複使用型咖啡膠囊" pod, but I have never tried that one, let my know if you try it out ☕
Hi Evan, My machine is adjusting the pressure itself.... it's a cheap one 🤣 but I will recommend you to buy the 3th generation of capsules....much better than the one i my video..... check out my latest video ☕😄
I purchased it, the first time it worked fine, but after that it's like the lids don't seal properly after a bit of pressure from the machine resulting in water spilling out from the sides?

@@simonedahkoul9057 there 3 kind of capsules 1th, 2th. and 3th generations, and the best is 3th. gen. the intake of water is different on each one of them. See my latest video on the 3th.gen.

So I don't think it's the water reservoir or blockage and I believe I've been installing it properly after each refill. 🤷🏼♀️ I think it just comes down to the quality of the capsules that I have. I've been running some espresso test runs now, with & without filters, 1 & 2 coffee spoons, tampering the coffee & without, rinsing it out, drying & cleaning the rim, rubber, casket after each test and neither really turned out good and not far as near as your yummy looking espressos. Either the lid pops or the flow reduces and eventually stops before machine time runs out. So, before I go crazy or break my machine, I'll just order the 3rd gen and check again. 😉

Hi. I have some water leaking on the side when using these capsules. I think it does not hurt the machine but always need to clean up around the machine. Any idea why could it happen? How much coffee do you put in your capsules? I tried 8g and 6g and with both amount I have the issue. Thanks
That happens to me too sometimes, I think it's because of the graining is too fine, or because of too much coffee, I leave about 10mm space at the top. I think you have to see what works best for you!...or maybe buy some new ones, the gasket won't last forever. Have a great brewing ☕
@@Anders_EU Capsules are new so it's not those.. I tried without coffee and it did not leak like that so I am sure it's something with a coffee (amount or pressing it down).. Tomorrow I will try to leave the coffee loose and not pressing it down.. I hope it will work :)
@@MusselFoot it was the problem with the capsule..the one from ebay was slightly thinner and that leaked.. i ordered from amazon was slightly more expensive and that worked..They look exactly the same but when I compare the one from amazon is a bit thicker
Make sure the beans are made for giving crema, if so, then give it at little harder pressure before closing the capsule and leave about 8-10mm space at the top. Good luck ☕
@@Anders_EU When you say "Make sure the beans are made for giving crema" what do you mean? All beans will give you crema, because they give off gass. If the beans are old beans, out of date beans or just stale, they wont give you crema.
I think that making a espresso on this machine, will take about the same time as an regular and expensive espresso machine. Btw. I have improved making the espresso, in my latest video, and for me the taste is perfect...and isn't it what is all about 😀☕
Thanks for the idea! Lidl beans, capsules and bellarom Branding is unfortunately nothing you can call coffee ! Put 2 euros on top an get some decent Italian coffee
Why do you think so? it's good for the environment, capsules can be used over and over again, the machine only use 20 second to prepare before it can be used (compared to boiling some water, it's much faster too), you can use beans to your taste, and overall it's a better taste.
Okay, question: why buy a dolce gusto machine when you can’t afford the cups? Get a regular coffee machine (since you have the filters already 🙄) and save $80 on the machine in the first place! After that you can use any coffee you like, without the need for fake cups and trickery. 😂
...Yeah it seems funny, I will give you that 🤣 The reason I use these capsules with my own coffee, are because original pods taste terrible, and since coffee made under pressure taste much better than a regular cup of coffee...btw, I can make a cup of coffee on this machine, before the water is boiled for a regular cup of coffee 👍
The water went through the grounds so fast! I think if you had a bit more in the pod and tamped the grounds to compact it the results would have been closer to a true espresso.

so much fkin around i'd rather buy a normal coffee machine :D
🤣 it's like cooking, it takes time to make it delicious, but if you just need the coffee kick🥴 go with the machine ☕
Anders exactly like cooking, some people like the creativity of cooking, others, just buy a take away
kkkkkkkk
Wetting the filter with your finger?.. ewww gross
It's magic, water coming out of my finger 🤫
Thx the capsule thing is the stupidest thing like ever
Why do you think so? it's good for the environment, capsules can be used over and over again, the machine only use 20 second to prepare before it can be used (compared to boiling some water, it's much faster too), you can use beans to your taste, and overall it's a better taste.
In this way I will need a dedicated employee for the coffee. Music is more than annoying. You could speak a little bit instead.
Thank you for watching my video and taking the time to comment too, have wonderful day ♥️
Okay, question: why buy a dolce gusto machine when you can’t afford the cups? Get a regular coffee machine (since you have the filters already 🙄) and save $80 on the machine in the first place! After that you can use any coffee you like, without the need for fake cups and trickery. 😂
...Yeah it seems funny, I will give you that 🤣 The reason I use these capsules with my own coffee, are because original pods taste terrible, and since coffee made under pressure taste much better than a regular cup of coffee...btw, I can make a cup of coffee on this machine, before the water is boiled for a regular cup of coffee 👍
Anders aha, okay have you tried the caramel macchiato cups? They are splendid (in my opinion that is) thanks for the reply by the way 👍
@@harmzegt8066 my friend did, he say they are very good, and they looks good too👍 personal I only drink black coffee, and no sugar 😉
Too much bullshit!
Same here lol I put it in the wrong way FML
