was looking forward to trying out this new nespresso vertuo cold brew capsule i ordered last week, but unfortunately it seems they aren't compatible with the 1st gen machines

psa if you're thinking of ordering these capsules to check vertuo machine compatibility first 😓

Soo now I’m going to have to search for these…are they YouTube videos or something else?

similarly, i've found just as many "hackers" online sharing ways to get around capsule/machine lock-in 🤣

You can’t waste the pods now.. that’s girl math

Looks like an excuse to get a new machine!

Yep.  So, you know how you can order the pods through their Nespresso mobile app?  Well, if you order 8-10 sleeves or more at a time, and you catch them during a promotion, they’ll send you a free sleeve or two.  Well, I ordered a bunch and got the free sleeve of these extra tall ones (see pic).    The extra tall ones won’t work in my vertuo machine. 😐

you mean like you didn't order it but they sent it to you anyways?

I ran into this Nespresso vertuo pod compatibility issue as well.  However, it was using 12 pods they sent to me!?

Why send pods that are incompatible with my machine, Nespresso????

no matter how tempting it is, do not get the new machines, they're awfully overengineered

just make cold brew dude, grind some beans in the evening, soak in water overnight in the fridge, strain through a filter in the morning… cant be easier than that
