Yeah!! I’m sure if you look in the sub you will find idea to get pods at a good price too.

Stand a couple capsules in there and it will look like a little Nativity scene if you really want to lean into the whole “Christmas miracle” theme.

The OG Esenzza is a god damn tank!!!

Update!
The original owner didn’t register it so I was able to do that and claim the discount code for some free pods!

My first machine 12 or more years ago. So nice I bought two at Costco for $70 each. Both are still working to this day.

I had the same experience!!!! I brought it home, water was not coming out. My husband used can air to blow out the area where the water tank and machine connect. It must have loosened some deposit buildup. I used some descaler and the whole system cleared. Two days later I was at a yard sale and a lady who was changing to vertuo was selling her 100 off brand ol bestpresso pods for 20 bucks plus her six pack of refillable pods for two. I also bought 4 double wall glass espresso cups for a dollar a piece. I put decaf in the refillable pods for an evening treat such as an affogato. A little advice about this machine. I highly recommend you follow the care instructions talked about in utube vids. Descale on occasion and always run plain water after every use ( before the nozzle can dry out and leave some coffee buildup). I have consumed coffee since I was a kid but I have never enjoyed it as much as I do with this little machine.

What sizes does it do? Did you give it a good, thorough cleaning before you used it? Great find!

I recently upgraded & gave one of my kids my 18yo model of this. Still working great.

I’ve had a essenza for ages but finally started using it recently, upgrading to a vertigo Christmas but I love the essenza, it’s starting to give out on me though
