Can you put your own coffee into a empty pod, or must you buy only pods with coffee in them? I was hoping to make a variety of coffees. null

You can buy reusable pods, I found this on another website: https://www.topoffmycoffee.com/can-you-use-other-pods-in-a-nespresso-machine/

Kind of. It's not really supported, but you can cut open a Nespresso pod and replace the coffee inside with your own. There are some issues with this approach: It will get messy, the capsule disposal mechanism will pour your grounds all over the capsule tank, and the temperature/brewing method cannot be adjusted. The machine is dependent on a barcode on each pod to determine optimal brewing methods, meaning you won't have control over how your own coffee is brewed.
