Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee and Espresso Machine by DeLonghi, Black

The media could not be loaded. For my tiny kitchen, I wanted a Nespresso Machine but I needed something small to sit on my side counter. This is the cutest Nespresso Machine ever! This Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee and Espresso Machine fits perfectly in my tiny kitchen. I didn’t have to compromise on quality with this machine. It still has a high-pressure pump and a fast heat-up system.I prefer to use filtered water from our Zero Water pitcher in the reservoir. The Essenza Mini includes a complimentary starter set of Nespresso Original capsules. Make sure you purchase the ORIGINAL capsules when it times to replenish your supply.The fast heat-up system reaches ideal temperature in just 25 seconds. Once the power buttons stop flashing, you can choose one of the programmable cup sizes – Espresso or Lungo. The result is a barista-style flavor and aroma.I bought some nesting espresso cups for my tiny kitchen which are perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.I use the Essenza at least once a day!

good machine, easy to use and make a good espresso.

This machine is small, heavy, well-made, and makes absolutely excellent coffee. It's so easy - just pop in the capsule, touch the preferred coffee type twice (either espresso or lungo), and it's done in about 90 seconds. I absolutely love it. By the way, if you haven't tried coffee capsules sold by Rosso Cafe, you MUST TRY THEM! The coffee is fantastic. Get their assortment, and you can try 8 different kinds, with 10 capsules each. Bellisimo!

So small but works so good. We just got back from Italy and realized we couldn’t get by without one of these machines. We were using a generic brand of coffee over there and this machine allowed me to use it in this machine. Tastes exactly the same. I love how it fits right in with my other coffee making things.

The Nespresso Essenza Mini from De’Longhi is a compact and efficient coffee and espresso machine. Its sleek design is perfect for small spaces, and it delivers a consistently rich and flavorful brew. It is user-friendly, and the quick heat-up time ensures you get your coffee fix in no time. The variety of Nespresso pods available allows for a diverse coffee experience (but they are not that cheap).The water reservoir is on the smaller side, requiring frequent refills, and it might not be ideal for heavy coffee drinkers.Overall, the Essenza Mini is a reliable and stylish choice for those who prioritize convenience and quality in their coffee routine. Additionally, being a single-cup machine, it may not be the most efficient choice for serving a larger number of people. The machine is also limited to Nespresso pods, which might be a drawback for those who prefer using their own coffee grounds. Lastly, while the compact design is an advantage for small spaces, it could potentially limit the size of the cups or mugs you can use with the machine.It can be easily cleaned and requires periodic descaling (can be easily done with descaling products).From a design perspective, I rather prefer the Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso Machine by Breville.

I have owned my Nespresso Mini for 4 years and have never had a single problem.It is very simple to operate. One of the features I really like is the ability to customize the amount of water used when making the Espresso size and the Lungo size.This little beauty makes excellent coffee and the coffee is MUCH better than what a Keurig makes.As a mini, it will NOT fit the needs of somebody who wants to make espresso for a crowd; however, for 1-4 people it is awesome.There are now several other companies (like Peet’s and Starbucks) that make capsules for the Original Nespresso machines so there are lots of coffee options to choose from.I highly recommend the Nespresso Mini!!

This machine works great, but after a few years, it started to leak. I thought it was because I used some pods that weren't Nespresso, but they leaked with them too. In any event, I had to replace the machine and decided to try the Vertuo. This particular seller was very good in helping me return this item and I highly recommend purchasing from them.

It depends what your needs are and how much space you would like to use on the counter, also how much money you want to spend on the pods or capsules.The Virtuo Next offers different sized coffee from a single shot to a 7.5 ounce cup. There is only one button to push and the machine can tell what size cup to make based on the size of the pod. The machine is big and bulky, in my opinion. To place the pod, the top part of the machine opens, which is not desired because it doesn't fit under my cabinet. My biggest problem with the Vertuo Next is that the pods cost double the price of the capsules used in the other machines.I love the Essenza Mini! It is such a cute, little machine that doesn't take up lots of space on the counter! It is easy to use with 2 buttons that are clearly marked for the type of coffee. Either a single shot of espresso, or a double! The espresso is delicious and the capsules are reasonably priced.
