Please contact our customer service team you are unsure if the Pod star will fit in your machine.

*IMPORTANT: Which coffee to use?

500 grams of coffee will give you around 100 Pod Star shots, so you'll likely save money as well.

Pod Star reusable stainless steel capsules allow you to pack your capsules with your own favourite blend. Simply ask your local cafe to grind their roasted beans to a number 2 grind or grind your own (depending on your grinder you may have to adjust this slightly, use a burr grinder if possible). If the grind is too coarse the water will flow too fast through the pod, too fine and it will flow to slow.

Packaged coffee from the supermarket that is ground for espresso machines or plunger is not suitable as you really need the perfect "capsule grind". The closest grind is probably "stovetop" - for use in stovetop brewers. Espresso-grind coffee bought off the shelf is ground too finely.

If you feel you need to change the length of the pour on either the Espresso or Lungo settings, do so following these instructions.

To help you achieve the perfect coffee, we now have:

Pod Star manual stainless steel coffee grinder that makes an ideal grind.

Pod Star Stainless Steel Coffee Scoop for refilling coffee capsules.

Pod Star Solid Stainless Steel Coffee Tamper to pack it perfectly every time.

Organic and fair trade ready to go ground coffee ground especially to work with Pod Star capsules.

Ensure that you tamp the coffee firmly and fill to the top.

If you like your coffee on the stronger side we recommend making a double shot with two capsules. Or if you regularly make coffee for two people, it is quicker to fill and make with two reusable pods on hand.

Kirsten and Mark love the environment, design and coffee. In 1990, Mark designed the ARIA award!

Following their ethos of adding value, Kirsten and Mark found themselves wishing they could use their favourite coffee in their Nespresso machine, instead of being limited by what Nespresso chose. At the same time, they learned that most single-use Nespresso pods are difficult to recycle, and often find their way into landfill.

Wanting to solve both problems at once, Kirsten and Mark developed Podstar. Using the highest quality stainless steel with no single-use pieces, they gave people the freedom to drink whichever coffee they like, and save the planet at the same time.
