Nespresso compatible pods Lidl €1.99

Ceist_Beag

Seems strange having it so close to Brown Thomas so it won't really make too much difference to most punters I would imagine. Maybe the intend to move staff across from BT?
After a few months trying them out I agree with those who say it's grand but not as nice as Nespresso. For me they will be a backup option but I'll stick with Nespresso for now.

Might make life a little easier. Wonder if they'll start to do the pod recycling programme here too?

They've had the pod recycling in the BT's boutique for a few years now, I always bring in my bag of empties.....

I had heard about a new boutique opening in the Creation Arcade after it's rebuild, but assumed that the one in BT's would close when the new one opened.

I looked at those Groupon ones, and thought they might stick in the machine - some of the French ones do too, but I've figured out which ones work and which ones don't. I have had no problems with the Lidl ones, to be fair.

I think it depends on which Nespresso Machine you are using. I have the long narrow machine. My daughter has the wider version and she has no problem with the Lidl capsules

Basically can see the new store from where you can already get them!

Now that is interesting. The only machine I have experience of is the pixie - I have one and a friend does also - that is the smallest (and I think cheapest also) model they do. So I have no experience of other models.

We have a pixie too, but encountered the "sticky" Lidl pod issue a few times as well.

My machine is actually one of the more expensive ones. Anyway going to pass on my unused Lidl capsules to my daughter

These are now reduced to £0.89p in the UK so should be the same here soon. In Switzerland Lidl sell a Martello Brand compatible and in Italy they don't bother even trying to sell pods.

The title of this thread is "Nespresso compatible pods Lidl €1.99" but of course some people like to take it off topic.

Has anybody tried these pods with the nespresso inissia? Presume they work on all nespresso models...

mrcheez

There was a problem with these getting stuck in some Nespresso machines, so just be wary

Yeah have heard about that. Dont have a Nespresso machine yet. Am trying to decide whether to get the nespresso inissia and use lidl pods or get the de longhi motiva.

The Lidl pods really aren't great though (imho). Maybe see if you can try one out on a friend's* machine before going down that route.

Been using the Lidl pods for two months with the Inissia never had a problem with them.

mrcheez

We've got one of the ones on the left



maybe it depends on the Nespresso model ... some of the Lidl ones went in fine, then one got seriously jammed

After trying all the various compatible pods from Lidl, Bewleys & Carte Noir I've decided to stick with the Nespresso capsules. The quality of the Lidl pods is nowhere near the Nespresso and the Bewleys & Carte Noir or more or less the same price as Nespresso.

Factor in that they may potentially damage a €200 Nespresso machine and they are not worth it IMO. The only thing in their favour is the convenience of being able to pick them up whilst doing grocery shopping.

I agree! Wasn't a bit happy with the lidl ones. Also had to use two pods per cup of coffee to get any flavour which brings cost up to same as nespresso

Total agree with you. To me you pay for what you get.

Yeah the Lidl capsules are a waste of time.

Anyone tried the Robert Roberts capsules in Dunnes? They're not cheap but they're bloody good!

Yep...I've switched to these myself. Prefer them to most proper nespresso flavours and can pick them up regularly and easily as I shop in Dunnes anyway.

I like the lungo ones best.....I use them to make espressos. But the classico are OK too. Never had any issue with these pods in my Nespresso Pixie. And as Whitestown is my local, I'm on my way! Thanks.

I have the Bewleys pods. I find I have to push the lever down more forcefully than with the Nespresso pods. Should I be concerned?? I dont want to break my machine !
