Does anyone have it? The Essenza Mini. It’s relatively cheap, so I’m just wondering if it’s worth it. Please tell me your thoughts!

P.S. If it’s relevant at all, I’m in Europe. And looking at the cheapest one because… student life

    Any reason why you want a machine with capsules? A small french press is going to be much less expensive (while also being very compact), and you can brew some fantastic coffee. A pourover with a metal filter is also not much hassle, and also less expensive in the long run.

      I was going for variety, since there’s so many different types of capsules.

      Edit: I do understand the appeal of a French press though, I have a mini one and make some amazing espressos with it. But… yeah it gets stale after a while, since it’s the same type of coffee

        a french press cannot make espressos, or anything close to an espresso

        if you want, you can always use different beans with your french press - yes, it’ll always be the same type of coffee, but there’s some pretty big differences in flavor
