Thank you for this video. I have also just bought these reusable pods and am having the same issues. I love coffee, I love Trieste, and I love Illy (except for their polluting pods). I had hoped to load up a day’s supply of these pods for the family and keep them in an Illy tin, but until I can sort out the leaks, and the coffee strength, that will be waste of time. I will continue to experiment and also try out the stainless steel screw pods.

It leaks because you're packing too hard. Water doesn't flow because you're basically making the ground coffee a solid. And your cup feels watered because your cup is too big. This is an espresso machine, it's for small cups. If you want larger cups, you need to use 2 capsules. Be careful with diy capsules btw, i blew a valve on my machine with one i made

what did you do with your valve? I think something happened to my x1, now is leaking with original iperespresso capsules

Great video! I share the same concern abt the plastics affecting the environment and thought abt buying the reusable stainless capsule. It seems some other videos I've watched had a better results so I thinking abt trying it to find out myself.

Thank you so much for sharing, I have been looking for Illy iperespresso machines, I appreciate you have tried several ways to make re-usable cups doable and your honest opinion about it. I'll stick to my lean mean bean machine for now.

Great video - I appreciated your honesty about how the reusable capsule worked while also expressing your goal for the environment.

Thank you for the video ❣️ I bought the stainless steel capsule and after a fewer coffee I managed to get the correct espresso into the machine for the Illy Iperespresso and so far so good 👍🏼 so that means less environmental problems 😉

@@ilonaal8361 HI, I got it from Amazon! Just put your model name or number and it will come up with some options 👍🏼

You should try the illy blend, it is made like that to ensure good coffee. Also you should always try short shots, as Illy intended for the italian espresso. If you brew too long, it will taste bad no matter what. If you use any illy single origin coffee, you should also try the right dose, like that it will problably not leak and the result will be satisfatory

I have an Ely and I bought one with a reusable stainless steel filter it probably doesn’t work exactly like the plastic pods but I am not using plastic at all which makes me feel good and worth not having the hundred percent flavor than I normally have

thank you for sharing, this make my coffee decision more easy👍

I bought the stainless steel capsule in order to use less plasti and after a few trials changing the portion and the coffee beans I managed to get the perfect esspresso..tasty foamy and great qiality. I am using dark roast beans that I grind before making the coffee.

So good!

I don’t understand your note in the video about the metallic reusable capsule when you write, “which screws up”. Does this mean that the top of the reusable capsule screws on to make a better seal so it doesn’t leak? Or do you mean it “screws up” and doesn’t work at all?

very good made presentation. compliment. only now it needs a solution.

So you buy piece of plastic to fill with coffee to wash it up afterwards, think about leakages and so on instead of just using normal coffee machine and spend 3x less time per 1 cup

You will not win this war it seems. Great video. Very good made. It seams you a in a catch here. Perhaps there are capsules made out of stainless.

Lovely video...and fun as well! I can't think of anything you didn't touch on when it came to the DIY part. And esp the subtle hint of buying over the irritating end of things. My understanding is that Illy has a specific tamp (and likely filter size to grind size) ratio to get the most out of the 1st use. Enough to make you willing to buy a really great shot you likely can't duplicate. But I'm Scottish cheap so will exhaust myself thoroughly before I accept raping the planet and my wallet for the most fabulous expresso shot on earth. Thank you, dear. 💕

Please, do a review of the metallic. We got this cause my girl likes latte in the morning, but, I've not being successful with this morning task.

Hi! Reusable capsules can get tricky and the result is not always good at all. Good luck with the reusable capsules and learning how to manage them successfully :)

Wow! I am impressed how you try hard to reuse the capsules. I don't think the taste is the same the original from the machine because of the containing system's difference. Good video, though. :)

I wonder where you found the screw on metal cups? Love Illy, hate the fact I use single-use plastic.

There are different brands and models of stainless steel reusable capsules on Amazon.

How fine the coffee was ground and how much you put the ground coffee. That is the matter. So cut the bottom of the portafilter so as to bigger reusable basket and get the beans ground smaller.

This is like an advertisement..

total Garbage Old Ways are the best stovetop. The Moka coffee maker for 75 $ is best it's a waste of $ for pods illy coffee pods let's not talk about the machine total garbage overpriced

Great video, I'm done with illy, been thru two machines, their website is horrible, they are sneaky with their sales, want you to join their coffee club and email you 4x per day. They advertise ground coffee for drip and it shows up as espresso grind. You can send it back, but it's $14 and you have to pay shipping. So pissed off right now. They didn't send my black Friday gift either, says free with purchase but i used a coupon code they sent me and they didn't send the gift. No samples either which I've seen in other videos. Ugh.
