Great little machine which makes consistent coffee

published

This machine is the smallest out of the Nespresso machine range but it still delivers when it comes to the coffee! It actually is quite quiet compared to my last Nespresso machine which is great for the mornings when you don’t want to wake your other family members.



This machine is so easy to use with just the two buttons so you can’t really go wrong with it. This is great for a single person living alone up to a small family. Also would be great to travel with!

Overall, very lightweight machine which always gives me a good quality cup of coffee every time.

Good home coffee machine

published

This machine really helps me every morning. Small and easy to use are the most advantage of the machine. Also, it is easily to clean up after use as well as remove the used capsules. Some flavours are good to drink but certain are too strong to drink. The downside is that hard to place a tall cup with this machine.

Great coffee machine!

published

Coffee tastes fine, depends on the brand of pods. Milk frother is great! Can change the frothing instrument to a light or full froth, cold or hot froth. It is easy to clean and volume settings are available and easy to use. Easy to refill and remove capsules from he machine.

Great coffee

Great coffee machine, it does not leak, does not drip and so easy to clean out . Coffee capsules can also be brought from Woolworths and much cheaper than the originals, the machine is slick and very easy to use and makes lovely coffee. I purchased from Harvey Norman and via redemption got $40 back and $40 coffee, the box also comes wth 12 assort of coffee. very happy with my purchase .

Nice Coffee.

published

Being the first coffee machine that I have owned it makes a nice cup of coffee.. The capsules are easily sourced online. The coffee is nice and hot which isn't always the case when I have tried some machines when travelling. It's a good little unit. I hope to enjoy many more cups of coffee from it.

Great little Machine

published

For the price, a great little machine. Small enough to be portable, pop in the car, even hand luggage! Coffee good not perfect. We prefer our coffee strong and using the ristretto or darken pods,it is as good as a lot of cafes. Milk frother quick and easy heats the milk well with plenty of froth. Easy to use, assembly and clean. As a second machine to take away for weekends, it's a winner!

Excellent to use

published

I purchased this machine expressly for making decaffinated coffee as my other machine discontinued the decaffinated pods that I enjoyed. This little machine is awesome and compact. The variety of pods I can buy other than Nespresso is excellent.Having the Nespresso store is awesome because you can try before you buy.This machine is very easy to use and easy to clean.I like how compact this machine is and it doesn't take up hardly any bench space.

Fantastic coffee machine that ticks all the boxes

published

I'm so impressed with this compact little machine. I bought it to replace my previous Nespresso pod machine, which was also good but large and took up so much bench space. The Essenza mini is tiny, quiet, fast and quick to disassemble to clean. You can remove the spill tray to fit larger cups. Altogether a fantastic purchase.

Quieter, cheaper and more compact

published

I purchased the Essenza Mini to replace an old model which was leaking water through the insides. This model is great. It's quieter, ultra compact and solidly built. The empty capsule container is a bit small an only holds 7-10 capsules, but that's a byproduct of the compact nature of the machine. The coffee tastes just as good and I like the 9 minute äuto off" function to save power.

Does the job

published

Purchased this machine to put in the office kitchen for those afternoons where you just need a quick pick me up. My preference is to use coffee beans, not pods, but this does the trick. I've had a few Nespresso machines over the years - they're all made by Nespresso but branded with appliance brands. This machine doesn't wow me - it feels a bit flimsy and it's hard to get your mug under the nozzle. The machine is fine for the price, but there's no wow factor.

Does it fit the Aldi Size pods?

I havent tried to use the Aldi pods because we have found that the Arpeggio pods from Nespresso are great! Suit our taste and just order those each time, tried heaps and we like these the best!

But Nespresso dont have Hot Chocolate flavour though do they? Or do you know of another brand that fits in the hot chocolate?

Wayne Trumble
Wayne Trumble

Yes. They fit and work just as well. Same with the Woolies brand "Nespresso" compatible pods and various other brand "Nespresso" compatible pods. Do not get confused with "Expressotoria" pods. They are only for Expressotoria machines and in my opinion terrible. Why pay Espresso equivalent to over $100 per kilo for coffee just for covenience of a pod when you can pay much less (but still overpriced) by using other brand compatible "Nespresso" pods. Woolies are regularly having them on special.

Do all Nespresso pods work in the different Nespresso machine or are the certain Nespresso capsules for the different Nespresso machine?

The traditional Nespresso Pods work in this machine, but Nespresso have recently introduced a bigger fatter pod and that does not work in this machine.

So if i buy from the supermarket how do i know if i have the right one?

Wayne Trumble
Wayne Trumble

If the pods have "virtuo" on them then they are the newer ones. They also have a very rounded bottom so they are easily distinguishable from the "original" pods.
