What type of coffee can I use on Handpresso machines?
Handpresso machines only work with E.S.E. pods.

Can I switch to another E.S.E. pod brand?
A hundred coffee roasting brands use the E.S.E. standard. With E.S.E. pods, you can freely choose your coffee brand! You can also change the coffee taste in each cup if you choose individually-wrapped pods.

How do I recognize E.S.E. pods?
- They have the E.S.E. logo.
- They are often called "espresso" pods, or E.S.E. compatible pods.
- Never use soft pods (like the Senseo pods).
- Do not mix up E.S.E.pods with Malongo pods (of the same shape, yet incompatible because they are smaller).
