I just purchased the Vertoline Coffee and Espresso maker. Will the 50 variety pack of capsules work with this machine being a duo machine?

No, I made that mistake too. You need to buy vertoline capsules for this machine, it has digital markings so the machine is able to determine if it is making coffee or espresso.

I use these with a Krups Espresso Maker which uses the E.S.E pods. Sorry, I don't have the model number of the machine available. I have ordered several times, they make delicious coffee.

I own the Pixie Nespresso machine, and the Nifty holder, and it works perfectly.While I don't have the new Vertuoline capsules, I think these new capsules are larger than the original ones, so not a 100% sure, but 90% it won't fit them. Hope this helps.UPDATE: I was in a store this weekend that had both Classic Nespresso and Vertuoline capsules. Without a doubt, the Nifty holder WILL NOT work for the Vertuoline capsules, as soon as I saw them I knew they are not the same diameter.

I had the same question. I ordered capsules and then found out that the machine came with a variety pack of about 7 or 8 capsules.

No you are only able to use the capsules made for the coffee maker. Nescafé 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!

Absolutely yes. I have used these with a Jura Capresso and a Kreps machine and they work great. Because they are smaller than the recommended tablets that the machine manufacturers push you have to use 2 or 3 tablets but the ingredients are identical and the cost is less than half.

i don't think so, manufacturers like to protect their product so you will probably only be able to use Nespresso coffee/capsules

Some have said these work with Verisimo Starbucks machines. Ours is new and about half the time the pods stuck inside the machine. I won't be buying more of these.

I've heard that some places sells the empty capsules so you can refill them with your favorite coffee... haven't tried yet, since I like the ones sold by Nexpresso... but will try soon! Good luck!

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.

Yes, the ESE pods are for this type of Espresso machine that says it takes pods.

No some capsules do not work on all machines they will get stuck and ruin the whole mechanism

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.

In my search for espresso machines, I came across a reusable capsules for Nespresso. So the answer to your question is yes. My husband has a Gaggia espresso machine and roasts his own beans, so at some point he may want to get the reusable capsules. The Essenza gives a smooth cup of espresso, so for the time being, he hasn't been using the Gaggia or his Technivorm.

I have been wondering that myself, but it doesn't look like it. I have fond older models of the X1 that have the ground coffee kit, but the newer models all seem to be exclusively capsule machines. I did happen to find one company selling the older model doing a google shopping search for Francis Francis X1 though

no! They have two lines of machines, and the pods aren't interchangeable. The VirtuoLine is the newer line of machines (which make coffee as well as espresso), and they now call the original machines the OriginalLine.
