Reusable stainless steel capsule that lets Dolce Gusto machines brew your own ground coffee
- Ongoing cost of buying proprietary capsules
- Single-use capsule waste
- Limited choice of coffee blends
- Weak or thin crema from standard pods
Brew your own ground coffee in every Dolce Gusto cup
Stop rebuying pre-filled pods for blends you didn't choose. Load your favorite grounds into a reusable stainless capsule and brew a rich crema on the machine you already own.
Brushed steel that does the real work

Brushed stainless steel body
The body is brushed stainless steel with a laser-etched dolphin logo, and the base is a precision perforated filter. Steel is built to be rinsed and reused cup after cup, so the capsule is not something you throw away after one brew.

A filter made for crema
The crema-version filter insert ships with the capsule. The green silicone lid has a central vent hole, and the brown silicone seal pieces at the base help the capsule sit tight on the machine. The result is a cup with a golden crema on top, which is what most standard pods struggle to deliver.

Fits most Dolce Gusto machines
It works with the Mini, Genio 2, Fontana, Creative, Melody, Melody 2, Esperta, Eclipse, Circolo, Oblo and Mini Me. It does not fit the Piccolo XS, Piccolo, Lumio or Colors, so match your model name before you add it to the cart.
Your first cup in four steps
- 1Confirm your model
Check that your Dolce Gusto is on the compatible list. The Piccolo XS, Piccolo, Lumio and Colors are not supported.
- 2Fill with ground coffee
Open the capsule and add your ground coffee to the stainless filter basket. Press the grounds down lightly so they sit evenly.
- 3Close and load
Seat the green silicone lid, then load the capsule into the machine the same way you would a pod.
- 4Brew, then rinse
Start your usual Dolce Gusto cycle. Once the cup is poured, rinse the capsule and let it dry before the next brew.

Your grounds, your cup

The pod habit adds up
Every pre-filled pod costs more than the coffee inside it, and the blend was picked for you before it reached the shelf. Cheap plastic reusables promise a way out, but they often leak, brew weak, and wear out within a few months. Most mornings end up as a compromise in a cup you did not choose.

Your grounds, your machine
The capsule fits the Dolce Gusto you already own. Spoon in the ground coffee you like, close the green silicone lid, and load it into the machine as you would a pod. The blend is yours to pick, from a dark roast to a decaf you only buy on Sundays.

Questions and answers
It fits the Mini, Genio 2, Fontana, Creative, Melody, Melody 2, Esperta, Eclipse, Circolo, Oblo and Mini Me. Check your model name against that list before you order.
The Piccolo XS, Piccolo, Lumio and Colors do not take this capsule. If your machine is one of these, a different capsule is the right buy.
Yes. Load any ground coffee you like, from a dark roast to a decaf or a blend from a local roaster. Whole beans do not work, because the capsule is built for ground coffee.
The maker puts the saving at up to 80% compared with buying pre-filled capsules, and that adds up fast when you brew daily. Steel holds its shape through repeated rinsing, where cheap plastic tends to warp and wear out, so one capsule replaces a steady stream of pods and replacement reusables.
Rinse the capsule and filter under the tap after each cup, shake out the spent grounds, and let it dry before you store it. There are no pod boxes to empty and nothing to throw away.
