I recently received a my first machine, an Essenza Mini from Target.com but only received 7 capsules instead of the 16 as advertised.
It seems there is a sticker placed on the box with x 7 over x 14 which is also not the advertised 16.
It’s less about receiving fewer capsules but rather making sure I didn’t get a counterfeit machine from a third party.

Not counterfeit. Unfortunately normal. They reduced the sample kit and product descriptions haven’t been updated.

Could just be an older machine and they updated the free pod count when they switched out the expired pods for new ones
Funny thought though that someone is stealing samples out of the package and putting a new sticker on the box and reselling. The pods are expensive, but not THAT expensive.
Go get a Costco membership. For $140 you can get a kit that has the verteo next, the milk frother, and 32 samples. And then it has coupons for your next 3 orders at nespresso (first one is $20 off).
Wow it’s bad enough nespresso doesn’t have any good sales on their pods, now they are getting cheap by cutting these in half
Yeah this has happened in our nespresso because the old capsules expired and they got a shipping of those boxes with only 7 of them inside.
Nespresso cheaping out again, im not overly surprised.
