Nespresso CitiZ Original Espresso Machine by De'Longhi, Black

This is a very well-made Nespresso original pod coffee maker. I've used it every day for the last year and it continues to work flawlessly. I like the size and water capacity, which makes 4 16 ounce cups when filled. The coffee temperature is perfect. I also have the milk frother, which works well too. Cleanup is easier than my original Nespresso machine because of the way the pod catcher is designed with a large grid in the bottom.

When our Nespresso Latissima finally died after several years of serving us well, we bought a superautomatic espresso machine. I didn’t know it is not recommended to use dark beans in such a machine, and that is my coffee of choice. I tried several medium roasts across a wide price range but nothing came close to the heavenly flavor of my Nespresso pods. As my husband was very pleased with his fancy new machine, I decided to get this CitiZ machine and am so glad I did. Now I can make my own espresso or delicious lungo coffee so easily. Presently, we still froth my milk in the big machine, but I plan to get a separate frother eventually so we can both be making our coffees at the same time. I thoroughly recommend this machine, it does a great job, looks good, and doesn’t take up much space on the kitchen counter. All for a not too bad price.

We love the machine and doesn't take much counter space. The integrated milk frother is a nice plus and that part is easy to clean. The coffee machine portion you will need to use a descalar and run water for cleaning. Overall, looks great, doesn't take much counter space, and makes very good coffee. The only thing we did not like was the super thick power cord that wasn't very flexible. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

I've been using the Nespresso Citiz & Milk for a few weeks, and it has been an absolute game-changer. The sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen, and the convenience it offers is unmatched. The quality of the espresso it brews is consistently impressive, delivering rich and flavorful cups every time.Investing in the Nespresso Citiz has truly elevated my coffee experience. Its intuitive operation, quick brewing time, and variety of original style capsules make it an indispensable part of my day. The compact size doesn't compromise its performance, and the ease of maintenance is an added bonus. Although I wish the aeroccino was dishwasher friendly like the very latest model (4).If you're a coffee enthusiast looking for convenience without compromising on taste, the Nespresso Citiz is the way to go. It's a fantastic investment that I highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. This Nespresso coffee machine is a game changer! You can make quality coffee so fast and easy and the taste is on point. I saw my friends and she had a newer version with the larger pods but after doing some research I decided on going with this machine because the long term expense would be less because the original pods are much cheaper than the newer version ones are (the cost will definitely add up if you drink coffee regularly. Nespresso has a patent on the newer version so you can’t buy third party pods where you can with the original machines. You can also purchase tea pods to brew and also some metal cups with disposable sticky lid toppers so you can add your own ground coffee or tea leaves. The milk frother is fast and makes a great froth but hot and cold quick. This is definitely a luxury product.What I think could be better with this machine is that the temperature of the coffee it makes could be hotter.

I love my Nespresso CitiZ. There are very few coffee shops in my area that make cappuccino just the way I like it, and none close to my home or work. So a good cup of cappuccino used to be a rare treat, but now I enjoy it most days. And with Nespresso it's foolproof - you get a perfect cup of expresso or cappuccino in no time, with very little effort and no guesswork. My favorite feature of the classic line is that you can adjust the size of your beverage exactly to your liking. Yes, I know, there are prescribed sizes of all espresso beverages, and the machine is set to that default, but you can change it any time to your taste - and I like being in control, so I like that. You can also use compatible capsules with the classic line, but so far I've stuck with Nespresso coffee. I also love the aeroccino. Making frothed milk is a tricky and messy business, but not with aeroccino. You pour in milk and press the button - and voila, perfect froth every time. If I had to find one negative of the CitiZ model, it would be that there is no low water level indicator, so if your water tank has only a few drops of water remaining, that's all that will come out into your cup. It hasn't been a problem for me though.The CitiZ model is ideal for a single person, and particularly someone with limited counter space, but I wouldn't recommend it for families or someone who entertains frequently. The water tank is rather small, so you'd have to refill it several times to serve a group of people. The aeroccino makes enough frothed milk for about 2 cappuccinos, so you would have to run it repeatedly as well - although it only takes one minute to complete the job.For me, though, it's a match made in heaven.
