Does this machine come with any of the espresso pods?

Yes, it comes with a few pods, about 10 assorted ones as I recall. There is a special offer for a welcome pack of coffee pods that can be ordered online.

Ours did not. However this way you can get the flavored zinc strength they you want.

Yes, there are third party "Nespresso compatible" pods, as well as stainless pods that can be re-filled with your own coffee as often as you want.

Yes, it does. But, much like an espresso machine, you have to use finely ground coffee (like an espresso grind) and you have to tamp it a bit in the Coffeduck. Typically, I put about three heaping teaspoons of coffee into it, tamp that down a little bit, wipe clean the mating surface of the Coffeeduck and the plastic cover, and then brew 3 cups of coffee - a double size cup and then a single cup so I can fill a 20-ounce travel mug. Coffee turns out medium-strong with crema (the foam), and the Senseo operates normally. If the coffee is too finely ground or tamped too much, the pump will sound like it's working harder than it should be. That said, I have never had an issue with that nor have I had any issues with it leaking. It's a little bit of work, but being able to use the coffee I want and not spending a ridiculous amount of money on K cups or the like makes the inconvenience worth it.

No I have never seen one but the wonderful benefit of this machine is the Italian coffee that comes in the pods! It beats the other machines 100 times over!

Sorry! Perhaps googling this may be better. This is my 3rd or 4th espresso machine, so I didn't need one.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

This model comes with everything except the coffee grinds. Make sure to use espresso grind as small coffee grinds will not work with this unit.

Yes, only pods, however you can buy your own pods and use the coffee you like. Empty pods that you can fill with your own grinded coffee.

Doesn't really matter what pods work with this machine because this machine itself doesn't work. It's a badly designed total loss of an espresso machine. Don't even consider buying it. If you do you will be sorry you did.

No it does not but I have not found it to be a problem. Sometimes I like my espresso a little watered down so its helpful to be able to choose that option. The only con is that you can't just press the button & walk away or else you might have a bit of a mess on your hands. I have truly enjoyed my Nespresso machine. I used Tassimo prior to purchasing it & over all I liked the Tassimo but unless you wanted the pods sold in retail stores which I didn't it was very difficult to get them as ordered. Their customer service was terrible. Nespresso's customer service so far has been excellent!!!! I would highly recommend this machine as one of their lower priced products!!!

Not to my knowledge. There are specific Verismo pods for the Verismo machine & directions say to only use those. I buy mine from Starbucks online or Bed,Bath & Beyond- ha! Coupons!
