Struggling to find reusable pods for my older Nespresso d300. Any one have any luck? It has a SINGLE puncture on the narrow end of the pod. I have had to just buy throw away pods up until now in order to even use it and I'm frustrated because it limits me from trying new and fresh espresso beans and creates unnecessary waste. Bout ready to donate the thing and buy brand new so I can have some options. Can anyone help?
See pics. Have taken apart to clean

That’s a terrific classic machine. Forget reusables for the Nespresso. Too many issues, some much worse than what you’re trying to deal with. Give the machine to someone who wants to use capsules and buy yourself a little conventional machine. There are dozens less than $500 made Delonghi and many other sub-brands you’ve never heard of but some make reliable units. The espresso is infintely superior to anything you’ll EVER get out of Nespresso and, if you are grinding and dosing and tamping and faffing about, the effort to create real espresso is about the same. The results, tho, are totally killer.
Awesome looking machine! If you decide to stick with it, be aware you don’t have to throw pods away. Nespresso has a free recycling program.
