Looking for a consistent, barista-quality espresso without the mess or guesswork? ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) pods, when paired with the Ascaso Duo Plus, deliver precision, convenience, and exceptional taste—every single time.
What Are ESE Pods?
ESE pods are pre-measured, single-serve espresso portions:
- 44mm in diameter with ~7g of finely ground, compressed coffee
- Packed in biodegradable, compostable paper filters
- Designed for 9-bar pressure extraction, just like a professional espresso shot

Unlike plastic capsules or soft pods, ESE pods are pressure-optimized, clean to use, and leave virtually no waste.
