Are there more people experiencing issues with the Lidl bellarom cups after the design change Lidl made earlier this year.
The new design has aluminium on both sides. The old one only at the top. (See both images)
With this new design my machine struggles to get water through the pod. It ranges from half a cup to absolutely nothing.
I did give the machine a good clean but it did not help. And it still works great with all other brands.
If nobody else has the same experience I might need to swap the machine

The water “struggling” to get through the pod is partly about the design of the pod itself, and partly about the shape of the grind of the coffee inside the pod. Nespresso are experts at this, and in comparison pretty much everyone else sucks.
A fun quick watch:

Anyway I have a ton of 3rd party pods, mostly L’or rather than Lidl, and they’re fine. Coffee is still coffee, just press the button again if needed to get to your desired fill level.
