Essenza Mini Automatic Espresso Machine

Recently bought this machine. It is very compact and looks great in my kitchen. Easy to use and clean. Makes excellent coffees. I have an Aeroccino 3 as well to make delicious lattes and cappuccinos. Would definitely recommend.

This is the entry level machine, but has the same internals as the expensive ones so it makes the same great coffee. It is really small and very sleek. It has two settings espresso and lungo and you can programme the volume of water you want to add. Easy to operate.

Worth making your existing larger machine the spare for emergencies. The new machine takes up far less space in your kitchen. Our red/black model certainly brightens up our kitchen.

As a coffee addict this purchase was a no-brainer. The machine is sleek and works like a charm. Being the mini that it is, the water tank needs to be refilled and the used pods need to be removed on a regular basis, but not a hassle at all.

In the past l was reluctant to buy a pod machine, so I was slightly hesitant when I eventually decided to go for an entry level Nespresso machine, the Essenza Mini. What a great little machine it has turned out to be! Stylish and compact, makes the perfect cup of espresso quickly with no fuss at all. Would I recommend it? You bet I would.

Bought this machine for a self catering. Unfortunately my model is by far not as good as the slimmer Essenza model that was at my disposal in another SC. The Nespresso glided much smoother in that machine and you needed only to lower the level, whereas in mine that hardly ever happened, 2 or more pushes were mostly required.

Made such a difference to my morning routine for a quick cup of coffee. It's a little loud, but all of them are. It fits a normal size mug if you remove the drip tray, but I got little 250ml mugs that fit in it perfectly. And it looks stylish in the kitchen!

Not much can be said that hasn’t already been said, but I’m a former coffee elitist convert to this system, so:

1. Heats up lightning fast
2. Extremely user friendly
3. Delicious, aromatic coffee in seconds
4. Easy to clean
5. Fairly quiet (only slightly noisy as it starts but then goes to a gentle hum)

So yes, highly recommend it.

I was so impressed with my first machine which unfortunately became faulty after almost 2-years in use, so I bought my second Nespresso machine.

Unfortunately, the lever which presses the pods became faulty and the motor became incapacitated and stopped working, the machine was still under warranty.

Maybe it all happened because of loadshedding

If you are a lover of a good cup of coffee and do not want to spend fortunes on a machine or coffee maker, this is the one to buy.

Perfect as long as one only makes a couple of cups of coffee a day, which is why I bought it. The water tank is small as is the discarded capsule holder but adequate for a single person. Also, plenty of space to fit a large cup. I love my Mini.

4 Stars because the capsule container, drip base and tray are a bit flimsy.

I am absolutely thrilled with my Nespresso machine! From its lightning-fast warm-up time to the precise delivery of coffee at the ideal temperature of 74°C. It is super easy to operate, and I love that I can easily dispense hot water by simply pressing the Lungo button three times. It's a beautiful and incredibly convenient addition to my kitchen.
