ESE pods in ECM Classika?

#1: Post by **TeeGreeThree** » June 27th, 2022, 9:59 am

I've narrowed down my search for an upgraded machine to the ECM Classika. A few last questions I need answered, including: my wife uses ESE pods for simplicity. She just doesn't care, which is fine by me, no need for two of us to go down the espresso rabbit hole. But can she still use ESE pods in the Classika? I've seen a few references to e61 ESE pod adaptors... but not many. Is that something she can actually do?

I have seen ESE adapters for conventional machines as well. I haven't looked into them in much detail. This vendor video seemed to me to explain things reasonably well, without promising the miracles that "system" manufacturers and promoters seem to.
