Can you use any capsule brands with this machine?

No, you have to use the CBLT capsules which you can get on Amazon for between $0.50-$0.70 per capsule. There are some very good options, but the selection is pretty limited compared to k-cups. C-cups can't make espresso, however, and CBLT can.

No, you have to use the CBTL brand. The Verisimo (Starbucks) are similar but do not work with the way this machine operates.

Nope. Just CBTL. It's not much of a downfall as the taste is much better and the capsules are really affordable (in stores especially).

You can use Caffitaly capsules. This mostly limits you to CBTL capsules, because of availability. The CBTL capsules are of very high quality.

if dunkin donut coffee is by keruig, the answer is no. the pods for cbtl are small. for most machines, they are larger.

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.

Definitely not, Jana. It only runs the Rivo-size capsules. They are all espresso types, and it's only designed to pump espresso type shots. The best you can do is a Caffe Americano, which is espresso+water.

Yes it only works with capsules, the frother is attached but separate from the expresso part. They have to be done separately, but is very quick.

No, these are just for the CBTL machines only. Most makers stay with their own specific brand of capsules.

I dont believe there are any off brand capsules because of how they are made. But, I wouldnt want to buy any other brands as this coffee is the best my husband and I have had (including expensive coffees at cafes). My husband is a coffee snob and is not usually satisfied but he loves this coffee and expresso and so do any guests that try it. Fantastic coffee and expresso's!

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.

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 can recommend http://www.capsuleconnection.com/ as a better product line.

NO! only on original Nespresso capsule machines:ie,"Inissia". You can use the milk frother with any machine.Go to Nespresso site..Vertuoline coffee pods are much larger&(dome like shape).

Hello Nazarian, We are proud sellers of Nespresso compatible, Caffe Borbone Respresso Capsules as well as our Caffe Borbone ESE pods. We have coffee capable for both machines at similar prices. If you already have the appropriate machine, I would assume the appropriate coffee for the machine would be the most economic outlet for you. We Appreciate You! Life Made Better

No you are only able to use the capsules made for the coffee maker. Nescaf has programs were you are able to get free coffee and tea! Also when or if you purchase the machine you can select free coffee. The customer service is outstanding! There are several different types to choose from I have had mine for a little less than a year and love it! Good luck!

Yes you can use any brand of K cups. I have even purchased and use a reusable K cup which I fill with my regular grind coffee.

I had answered earlier that I did not know if reusable capsules were available for the Nepresso...........well, I just spoke to my daughter, and she told me that there are no reusable capsules to use with this machine, but this company has a great recycling program available. Carol Raines

Hi Tammy, I've never used that brand. I have however used generic Giant and Wegman's brand along with a few name brands. The little curl on the right end is easy to get those brands over. Hope this helps.

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.

yep. doesn't matter which brand of machine you use. it will work on any of them.
