To believe as the Old ones comments were posted by Nespresso employees! This is not original aluminum capsules that make a good coffee! That's the coffee inside. Nespresso offers great cafés, and to be happy, you have to put great coffee and finely ground. It is the quality of the coffee that is in question. The capsule is no miracle and does not turn a bad coffee good coffee. The blow of the capsule that gets stuck, it's really pathetic, I use these capsules for months in my city, and I've never had any problems. She spends machine, the lid comes off and it's natural. The hinge has no other purpose than the packaging. As with model airplanes where the parts are held together. The hardest part of this choice is coffee, and I have struggled for a moment before finding. Finally, I went to a toréfacteur. Now my coffee comes back to me from 12 to 16 per kilo, a kilo and I make about 300 cafes. I'll let you do the comparison.
