Nespresso Essenza XN110840 Mini Coffee Machine by Krups, Piano Black

Product Information

At only 2 Kg, the Nespresso Essenza mini is so compact it barely takes up half the space of a toaster. But don’t think for a second that the smaller size means lower performance. Surprisingly, the Essenza mini carries an incredible 19 bar high pressure pump – that’s enough juice to produce barista style results every time. This works pretty well with the already programmed cup sizes for lungo and espresso. For our money, OriginalLine machines are better than VertuoLine machines because their pump produces more authentic espresso, the coffee tends to be hotter, and there's no barcode scanning system meaning you can find less-expensive third-party capsules. To be noticed that water hardness is the first reason of machine calcification and so it is recommended to descale the machine frequently (every 3months or less according to water hardness). Maintenance and cleaning Why should I descale my coffee maker?

While the Essenza Mini doesn't come with a preset button for Americanos (espresso + hot water, like a regular coffee) like the Essenza Plus does, you can easily use the programmable buttons to set up your own Americano system: If you’re looking to make endless coffees and prefer volume over specifically tailored individual drinks, this coffee machine, like most pod-machines, may not be for you. If you want to tailor your drinks with a higher temperature or shorter volume of water, then I’d recommend taking a look at the Tassimo Bosch My Way 2 that we recently reviewed.

Likewise, the control panel is as easy to use and as intuitive as it gets. All you have to do is decide whether you’re having the programmed espresso, or pre programmed lungo and the machine takes care of the rest. VertuoLine: Their new line that uses Centrifusion (rapid capsule spinning) to extract shots from barcode-enabled capsules but also brews standard coffee up to 17 oz We must point out that the smaller water tank may need fairly frequent refills (it’s only 0.6L), and the spent-pods hopper will need frequent emptying too. If your machine is near a sink however, neither of these points should cause you much heartache though.
