Description of capsules
Do you use aNespresso® Original*-compatible machine every day and want to switch to refillable capsules? CAPS’ME has designed the simplest stainless steel reusable capsule on the market: winner of the Gold Medal at the 2021 Concours Lépine, protected by two patents, and made in France. Fill your reusableNespresso® capsule in 15 seconds with the ground coffee of your choice, and enjoy a unique moment, cup after cup, up to 1,000 times.
Choose the size that fits your usage: from occasional use to heavy use, CAPS’ME offers 3 sizes of stainless steel capsules and the compostable lids essential for optimal extraction.
Why choose a CAPS’ME reusable capsule for your Nespresso®?
The market for refillable capsules is diverse. Here’s what sets CAPS’ME capsules apart.
Food-grade certified stainless steel: the material that makes all the difference
Our reusable Nespresso® capsules are made from food-grade stainless steel certified for food contact. Stainless steel does not rust, does not absorb flavors or odors, and can withstand hundreds of uses without deteriorating. A healthy, durable, washable, and flavor-neutral material—the choice of discerning coffee lovers.
Reusable 1,000 times: an exceptionally long lifespan
Each CAPS’ME stainless steel capsule is designed to withstand over 1,000 uses. At one cup of coffee a day, that’s more than two and a half years of coffee enjoyment from a single capsule. No warping, no rust, and no loss of flavor.
The compostable paper lid¹: the secret to optimal extraction and perfect foam
This is the key innovation that our competitors lack. Our cornstarch paper lids, made in France, perform exactly like an original lid: they yield under pressure at just the right moment, allowing pressure to build properly inside the capsule and producing a dense, creamy foam. The reusable metal lids offered by some competitors do not allow for this pressure build-up and produce a mediocre foam. We are the only ones to offer thesecompostable¹ paper-based lidsmade in France.
The patented shaker: fills in 15 seconds, no mess
The CAPS’ME shaker is protected by two patents and is the result of over 100 prototypes. It measures and tamps your ground coffee in a single step: place the capsule, pour in the coffee, shake, and put the lid on. No spoon, no coffee spilled on the countertop, no extra tamper. Your coffee ritual becomes quick, clean, and convenient.
Lépine Gold Medal 2021 & 2025
CAPS’ME is a French invention launched in 2020. It was awarded the Gold Medal at the 2021 Concours Lépine, the highest honor in French invention.

Lids made from compostable paper¹ for Nespresso® reusable capsules
Do you use Nespresso® Original* reusable capsules and are you looking for lids that ensure optimal extraction and a crema worthy of a high-quality coffee?
CAPS'ME lids are made from compostable paper¹ and are manufactured in France. They perform exactly like the original lid: they build pressure perfectly, create a dense foam, and preserve the aromas.
We are the only company on the market to offer compostable paper lids¹ made in France for Nespresso® reusable capsules.
What is a paper lid, and why is it essential? The lid is the least visible part of the reusable capsule system. Yet it’s the component that has the greatest impact on the quality of your cup. Here’s why.
The role of the seal in extraction: what happens under pressure: When your Nespresso® Original* machine begins extraction, it builds up pressure inside the capsule. It is this pressure that extracts the aromas, oils, and compounds responsible for the body and crema. The seal plays a specific role in this mechanism: it must maintain the pressure for as long as necessary, then yield at the right moment to allow the coffee to flow into your cup. A seal that yields too quickly or too easily does not allow this pressure to build: the result is a flat coffee, lacking body and crema.
Cornstarch, made in France: the exact composition: Our lids are made from compostable paper¹, manufactured in France using cornstarch paper. This material was chosen for three reasons: its ability to withstand the pressure of extraction without disintegrating prematurely, its complete safety when in contact with hot water and coffee, and its compostability at the end of its life. No aluminum, no plastic: only plant-based paper, safe and natural.
Compostable: What does that actually mean?
A compostable material breaks down naturally under standard composting conditions, leaving no toxic residues.
Our lids made from compostable paper¹ can be disposed of in a home or industrial compost bin after use. They break down along with the coffee grounds: a truly zero-waste solution from start to finish, from filling the capsule to disposing of the used lid.

How it works
How to use and fill your Nespresso® reusable capsule?
The CAPS’ME innovation is all about simplicity. In just 5 steps, your refillable capsule is ready in 15 seconds—just as fast as a disposable capsule.
Step 1: Choose the right ground coffee (grind size and roast)
Choose an espresso grind (particle size between 400 and 500 microns) and a well-roasted coffee. This is essential for producing an aromatic coffee with body and crema. At the supermarket, look for the word “espresso” on the packaging. For guaranteed results, use CAPS’ME ground coffee: ground to 400 microns, 100% Arabica, roasted in Strasbourg.
Step 2: Measure out and pack with the CAPS’ME shaker
Insert your reusable capsule into the shaker’s compartment. Pour your ground coffee into the top compartment, slide the capsule into place, and shake vertically. The patented mechanism measures out approximately 5 g of coffee and tamps it to the right density—cleanly, without making a mess—in less than 15 seconds. No spoon, no tamper: the right density is guaranteed every time for optimal extraction.
Step 3: Place the paper lid
Apply a CAPS’ME paper seal to your capsule like a sticker: it sticks easily and stays in place perfectly. The seal breaks under the machine’s pressure at just the right moment, allowing the pressure to build properly and releasing the body, aromas, and foam into your cup. This is the feature our customers appreciate most: coffee with a real crema, just like at the café.
Step 4: Insert it into your machine and start the extraction
Insert the refilled capsule into your machine exactly as you would an original capsule. Close the lever and start your usual brewing cycle. The pre-pierced CAPS’ME capsule fits perfectly into the mechanism of your Nespresso® Original & L'Or Barista®* compatible machine without any strain and without risking damage to the needles.
Step 5: Remove, rinse, and put away
Once brewing is complete, remove the used filter (it comes off easily) and simply rinse your stainless steel capsule under hot water. Ten seconds is all it takes. Food-grade stainless steel doesn’t absorb flavors or residues, so your next cup of coffee will be just as fresh as the first.

How many cups of coffee can I make with this pack?
This pack contains 300 pods, so you can make 300 cups of coffee. The 3 stainless steel capsules can be reused over 1,000 times! For coffee: 200g = 45 cups, 600g = 135 cups, 1kg = 225 cups.
Why choose these lids over others?
Here's why our lids really stand out:
Optimal coffee extraction: Our compostable paper lids were specially designed by our engineers to replicate the extraction process of a genuine Nespresso® capsule. The result: a rich crema and perfectly filtered coffee, with no compromise on flavor.
An innovative and healthy material: Made in France from cornstarch, they are 100% compostable and food-safe. Unlike aluminum lids, which can leave harmful residues in your coffee.
Why not use reusable stainless steel lids? We made this choice deliberately: metal lids don’t guarantee a good foam or proper extraction. At Caps'me, your enjoyment and the quality of the coffee are our top priorities!
Perfect compatibility: Designed specifically for our reusable Nespresso® capsules, they deliver the same results as disposable capsules, without the drawbacks.
If you have any questions, please contact our customer service department before placing your order: contact@capsme.fr .
Will the capsules damage my Nespresso® machine?
No, absolutely not! Our capsules are pre-punched and slightly smaller to protect your machine's needles. They are made of food-grade stainless steel, puncture-resistant, and safe.
