It was a "Keurig", and I had to put a pod in it and wait a few seconds. Is that not espresso?

I make espresso at home by grinding/tamping it myself so I admittedly don't know much about the pod version or whether that still counts as espresso.

It is not an espresso. The temperature and pressure are lower than an espresso machine. The results would be considered analogous to more American style coffee. Meant to be drunk from a full mug (~177ml to ~298ml), etc.

It's marketed as a coffee machine that makes a single cup with a single pod at a time.

(Apparently you can tweak a Keurig to approach an espresso, but it's not the default).
