Works Extremely Well
I purchased a bundle with this holder, a metal tamper, along with a package of Recaps foil replacement lids. I believe this holder plays a critical role in making refilling Nespresso coffee capsules a relatively easy, fast process. Yes, you could make an inferior homemade version of this holder but this unit is quite sturdy, perfectly sized, and also has a top which does double duty, both to keep the capsule rim free of grounds and to seal the foil lid securely onto the capsule. I highly recommend this holder.

Works great.
This makes reusing the vertuo pods so easy.1. Put pod on base, stack funnel on top/fill pod2. Tamper down just a bit.3. Lay foil on top of filled pod4. Use bottom of funnel to seal foil. Shape aligns pod & presses foil around edge.It's real easy to refill several pods in advance in just a couple minutes.I can now have any coffee I want with correct intensity and am very happy.I originally tried a couple of the stainless still refillable, but they never worked very well. Did not seem to have intensity and the Nespresso machine sounded like it was straining to spin them causing me concern for potential damage. Using this thing with some foils to refill/reuse the original aluminum pods and get the intensity I like

Mostly good refill tool
I have a different Nespresso pod refill tool that doesn't have the funnel part for the top. I find this refill kit easier to use because of the funnel part. However, I get a better seal if I don't use the funnel part to seal the sticker to the pod. A lot of times there are coffee bits on the bottom that cause issues creating the seal (dents in the sticker, etc). The seal doesn't work great either using the funnel.Instead, I use the funnel to get the coffee grounds into the pod, put a sticker on the top, use the small paintbrush handle that came with the other refill kit and run the handle around the rim to create the seal, turn the pod over and use the paintbrush end to push the rest of the sticker flat. The paintbrush was included in the other kit so you could get the grounds off the pod before placing the sticker. So I prefer this refill kit because of the funnel--that feature is much better than the paintbrush!I personally cannot wait until 3rd party companies can make the new pod shapes for us to buy. It appears that is years away though :/

Easiest and best for refills
This is the third product I've tried and really the only one that produces a brew as good as that from Nespresso.I've tried the plastic ones with soft top, and the all-steel inserts (reduced volume) and neither of those produced the same rich brew I like from the official, monopoly pods.To stockpile a few empty capsules, I use a very sharp knife to carefully and completely remove the plastic, foil-like used cover.If you dismantle an unused capsule, you'll have a good idea of the grind and compactness that meets the machines best performance. I use espresso level of find grind at the store. I find French Roast (darkest) is much like the Intenso variant from N.To refill, it's relatively easy to drop the cleaned, dry, used pod into the glass base holder, put on the funnel that prevents grounds from dirtying the rim. I then fill and only slightly tamp down the grounds. The separately ordered foil covers peel away from the 4-per sheet, and they have a slightly sticky perimeter that you'll align to the top opening -- not very difficult and I could peel away and reposition if I am too sloppy. One then uses the funnel as a press to seal the sticky foil to the rim, and then quicky fold underneath the slight overlap.I typically wait until the pod discharge holder is full and do a whole batch, as discarding and rinsing is a bit messy.I like that this is a green process and saves money. However you are spending time doing this work as your trade-off for savings. I think sip for sip it passes the blind taste test.

Time saver.
This works great for filling the pods without getting the rims dirty. Making sure that those were clean before putting the cap took too too long before using this.

Works like a champ
The funnel works great, I have a scoop that hold about 11 oz, I just pour it down the funnel and use the back of the flat bottomed scoop to tamp it down just a little (so coffee is about an 1/8th inch from the top).Then I use the RECAPS foils with the top piece of this set to seal the foil to the pod. It just works great.I tried the silicon caps, they don't allow enough coffee and they sometimes pop out. The only difficult part of the aluminum foils is getting them centered. I wish there was a guide of some kind.

Works as advertised
I can refill a pod without this tool, but I find I can complete the task much faster using the RECAPS. It is very well made, with enough heft and weight to ensure the tool will stay in place as you refill the pod. Prior to using this tool, I had ocaisional problems with spilling coffee grounds due to the pod shifting.The tool is well designed with each feature helping to improve the refill process.I anguished for a couple of weeks between ordering the raw tool or the package with the tamper and sample lids. I am happy I saved money by getting the tool alone. I see no added value to the tamper since it is not recommended that you tamp your grounds too firmly. I use a coffee spoon to lightly tamp and think it makes for a great cup of coffee. The tamper might be helpful for repacking for espresso but is not necessary for coffee repacks.

nice design. Perhaps a bit expensive for what it does, but it works well.
Works great with the caps from the same supplier. The funnel is well-designed to keep the grounds from holding up on the ledge of the capsule, and works pretty well to seal the foil, which has a thin strip of adhesive around the perimeter, but which is large enough to make it pretty hard to 'miss' aligning it for a good seal. The foils tears right off after brewing, making it even easier to re-use the capsules again the 3rd, 4th, 5th... time.
