Cleaning and Care for Reusable Coffee Capsules – Make Your Stainless Steel Capsules and Vertuo Lids Last a Lifetime
Reusable coffee capsules are a sustainable and cost-saving alternative to single-use capsules. With products like MyCoffeestar stainless steel capsules for Nespresso® OriginalLine or Dolce Gusto® and Vertuo Lids, you can reduce waste while maintaining full control over the flavor and aroma of your coffee. One crucial factor often overlooked is proper cleaning. By cleaning your capsules immediately after use, you ensure they last for years and every cup tastes perfect.
Clean Immediately After Use
The best time to clean your capsules is right after brewing. Fresh coffee grounds have not yet dried or become greasy, making cleaning much easier. Both stainless steel capsules and Vertuo Lids can be quickly rinsed under warm water. For the plastic Vertuo Lids, avoid harsh cleaning agents to protect the surface. Regular rinsing guarantees many years of use.
Stainless Steel Capsules for Nespresso® OriginalLine
After brewing, remove the coffee grounds and rinse the capsule under warm water. For a more thorough clean, use an organic cleaning agent like Puly Caff Green Cleaning Powder, which gently removes coffee oils and residues without damaging the stainless steel. Regular care ensures an extremely long lifespan – practically a lifetime.
Coffee grounds don’t need to be discarded. They make excellent fertilizer for your garden or balcony. Plants that particularly benefit from coffee grounds include:
- Roses – stronger growth and deeper-colored blooms
- Tomatoes – more fruits and healthy plants
- Hydrangeas – vibrant blue flowers thanks to acidic soil
- Herbs such as basil, parsley, and chives – more aromatic flavor
- Azaleas and Rhododendrons – prefer acidic soil
- Houseplants like rubber plant or spider plant – mild nutrient boost

Tips for Travel and On-the-Go
When using capsules on the go, store them in a small case and rinse after each use. A thorough cleaning can be done at home. This ensures consistent coffee flavor and long-lasting capsules.
