Pod capacity and refill behaviour directly affect how often a Nex 5 customer comes back to the shop.
There is no shortcut on pod capacity and refilling: the Nex 5 rewards preparation and punishes improvisation.
Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind pod capacity and refilling: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.
Why pod capacity and refilling matters on the Nex 5
Larger reservoirs reduce refill frequency but can change flavour consistency near the end of a fill.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Nex 5 economics actually settle.
Clear visibility windows help users judge remaining liquid without opening the pod.
