After reading a lot of reviews on a different options, I chose this one to try because i wanted all stainless steel – I didn’t want the ones that glue down as I didn’t know what was in the glue. It worked perfectly. I have coffee from my family’s plantation that I never use because I never take the time to prep it. This enabled me to use it in my Nespresso without issue. It took 3 seconds to load the coffee. It might have been slightly milder in flavor, but not enough to bother me (and I like my coffee strong) and gives me so many more options to the nespresso flavors I was growing tired of. I’m buying a second backup, even though this is very easy to clean too. The trick that I got from someone else’s post is to pack the coffee tightly, but leave a little room on top to create pressure from the machine.
