Can 3rd party Nespresso Compatible pods work?
Some may prefer 3rd party brands as they are generally cheaper on per capsule. But not all 3rd party pods are compatible with Nespresso machines. Nespresso machine models starting from Nespresso Innisia and Pixie onwards have switched to using thinner injection needles. These needles is only able to pierce through the Nespresso capsules which are made from aluminum. However, most 3rd party pods use plastic for their capsules and they are just too hard for the needle to pierce through.

Can I save more on Nespresso pods?
A last method is to use a refillable Nespresso pods or refillable basket. Do note that Nespresso does not support such pods too. So use at your own risk.
RECAPS Refillable Coffee Pods is a good option as it can be reused up to 50 times. So, such refillable capsules do help to save on costs and more importantly, cut down on the effort to recycle the aluminium capsules!
