can I use other capsules in this machine? Peet's for example.

The K cups and all the brands made to fit in Keurig machines do not fit. They are too big. I don't know anything about Peets, but suspect they may be made to be like K cups. I've been told Nespresso cups are sompatible, but I have no personal knowledge of that. Since there are no stores near me that sell Dolce Gusto capsules, I wish there were others that fit. Of course I order them on-line, but sometimes it would be nice to be able to just pick up a box at a store!

I know of no other capsules that fit the Dolce Gusto machine. Their capsule style appears proprietary. I suggest you go to their website and recommend they add more products. I have done this several times hoping they might pay attention. I am hopeful they will offer a lactose free milk capsule and a decade cappuccino. It would be really good if they would let people mix and match dairy and expresso capsules.

I don't think it would work.... I believe each brand of coffee machines makes its capsules in different shapes. I'm not familiar with Peet's but I just looked up the capsules and it's very different shape. I guess you could try it if you want to. As long as it fits inside the capsule console, might be ok. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry you cannot. Most machines have their very own custom pod. Go to the website to get the best selection in coffee. I absolutely LOVE this machine and the coffee variations, especially the price! Makes coffee the way they do in Italy.

Honestly I have never tried, but I just compared the K-cups to these capsules and they are shaped different. So it will not fit. I don't know what shape the Peet's capsules are. But these Dolce Gusto capsules are curved at the bottom. Hope this helps.

I doubt it. The new capsules are much larger than the previous capsules and the drawer in the picture fits the smaller pods just so.

Yes, you can purchase those through Amazon and directly through the Nespresso website. Those pods (called "capsules") are compatible with the nespresso machines & are only sold under the Nespresso brand. K-cups (San Francisco Bay Coffee & others) are larger & don't fit into that machine.

Nespresso has many flavors and they are fresh, but no I don't know of any other capsule beside Nespresso.

The fancy machine costs less than 25$ and i would suggest using it, otherwise you'll waste a lot of time and energy on filling these one by one...Other than that, if quantities of what you want to fill them with are large then i would suggest putting the filling in a bowl and then using capsule halves to scoup and connect the halves in the bowl. If not, then your suggestion seems reasonable.

The CBTL capsules are bigger than the nespresso capsules, so not compatible. Cuisinart machines use pods (soft pouches) not capsules (plastic cups) so these will not work. But most pods are interchangible for pod machines.

I have the machine as well as these capsules, but the machine is not absolutely necessary. For example, we used these for my son's cough medicine that tasted horrid. I filled each one by hand using a small pipette since it was a liquid medicine. However, if you are going to be filling a bunch of capsules with something powdery, then using the machine is definitely easier/quicker.

Get yourself a non-fancy machine. I can fill 24 caps at one time with my non-fancy machine.On the other hand - just fill the big part of the capsule by plunging it into a container of what you want to fill it with. Then jam the stuff down with a pencil - and keep on filling - then slip the small part of the capsule over the end of the big part - and squeeze those puppies together.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

No you can not use this capsule on nespresso machines. These can only be used on Illy machines. Nespresso has their own pods as well.

Can you use other brands off the shelf or is it limited to Melitta brand pods?

Yes you can. There are instructions on back of bottle. You might want to check out The Lanundress on You Tube and their website. There are demos and instructions are useful.

Regina, i have not needed to buy any refills yet. The kit has many capsules so i was able to do several spots on my property plus my neighbors and still have some capsules left. The only trouble i had was i kept them in my garden shed and the summer humidity melted some capsules so maybe keep them in a cooler dryer place.i haven't checked with company to see if you can get more capsules.

I think there was an older version that came with a separate basket that you could use as an alternative to the capsules, but this one does not. Check out youtube for reviews -- if I recall, there are some reviews of Francis Francis machines that have the dual functionality.

No. Part of the difference between Keurig and Nespresso machines is that Nespresso tightly controls the quality of coffee to be used with its machines, so doesn't offer refillable capsules. If you live near a boutique, you can sample thier blends for free. The staff is very happy to help with that.
