Two coffees in the last four hours, the first being a strength-11 pod in my Aldi capsule espresso machine, the next one reused the same pod after I opened it & cleaned out the dregs from the first brew. I refilled it with freshly ground coffee of the type I currently have in stock & refitted a finely perforated plastic cap on top of the coffee.
This refill worked perfectly, I shall definitely use that process again.
