I bought a similar kit for the (smaller) original Nespresso capsules and soon abandoned it. It was tedious, the capsules leaked, making more than the capsules I had required refilling between, messy to clean, etc. Although the newer larger Virtuo capsules are different, the filling and inventory problems must be similar, and although I'm cheap and prefer picking my own coffee I've given up on Nespresso refilling, just buy third party caps.
As for Keurig, definitely never buy prepackaged, the metal refillable ones work great and coffee is always as fresh as you add it.

These are for the Nespresso Vertuo which really doesn't have a 3rd party capsules, except for Starbucks which are also fairly expensive. I've been using a competitors product but in my opinion it works very well. yes, it is a bit tedious to clean and refill etc.

Slacky said he has an OL machine, so that is what he was referencing in talking about 3rd party capsules.
Can confirm that I use this exact product and haven't faced any leakage so far. But also I've been extra careful when sealing each one, because I'm aware that any slack there may cause leakage and ruin my machine. It's tedious to clean and refill, that I admit.
Also, manually ground coffee doesn't stay fresh for long since we cannot create a nitrogen-filled hermetic seal like Nespresso does, so I don't refill more than 5-7 pods at a time. Which consequently means, I run out in about 3 days and won't take the time to refill again until next weekend or even later - so end up using more store bought pods than refilled ones. Still, the option of making my own refills and trying some new beans I bought on a Nespresso machine makes it a must-have for me.
