Does this take the Peet's Coffe. Pods that you find at Costco?
The Essenza Mini takes Nespresso Original Line pods-- I believe the Costco ones (as well as the Amazon Warehouse Deals) that you see pop up on SD every month are both Original Line, so they should work.
Can you make a regular cup of coffee with these? Or somebody said can rerun the pod to make it be a full cup? Any info? Thanks
It would make a extreme weak 8 ounce of coffee. There are two size options you can make with this machine. A 2oz espresso shot or a 4oz lungo (long). You would need two capsules to make a decent cup of americano coffee (drip coffee) on the lungo setting.
I bought this unit since it is perfect for work and also car trips in hotels, but now I need to find some capsules for it. (I refuse to use the hotel's in room coffee machines, after hearing reports about some off the horrible disgusting things some hotel guests do to those machines and how difficult it is to sanitize them.)
I am really fond of strong European style espresso, and dislike regular, brewed, and/or watery American style coffee. If anyone has any recommend espresso original line capsules which is not plastic, could you please share it?
The Nespresso capsules are great, but are too expensive, so affordable 3rd party alternatives are greatly appreciated.

There a pain the ass though
I got it for around $80 right before black Friday last year at Target, so not necessarily true...
