Great Machine
I bought this machine (with frother) a couple of weeks before Christmas. Had another cheaper machines before this but wasn't very impressed. This one I love, small enough to take away in the caravan, and when not in use, store in a kitchen drawer. Great coffee. The temperature is just right. I mainly use for a long shot. I don't use the drip tray as the clearance is not enough for an average cup, but if I have to sacrifice that for a very compact machine, I don't really mind. Love, love this machine.
Purchased in November 2021 at Peter's of Kensington Online store for $169.00.

No more café prices for me!
Makes a great cup of coffee comparable to any coffee shop.
2 Programmable sizes or choose a different amount per serve.
The frother can either heat, heat and froth, or just froth (cold milk) so it's great for hot or iced chocolate or coffee. Comes with a selection of 20 Nespresso coffee pods.
Doesn't take up much counter space.
Purchased in July 2021 for $111.00.

- Nespresso Essenza Mini EN85RAE (Red,Aeroccino 3)
- Verified purchase
Simple and easy to use.
Owned it for a few days. It's produced okay coffee. It is simple to set-up and is simple to use.
One observation is that there is insufficient clearance between the drip tray and the dispenser.
In order to use it - I remove the drip tray and place my mug on the bench.
Other than that - it's great.
Bought it on a promotion which made it under $100 which is a good price point. If it cost anything more, the value proposition wouldn't be realistic - given it's functionality.

Great machine
I have had this coffee machine for 6 months now and don't know how I got through without it! The coffee (generally using the short shot) tastes great. Although I have my favourite varieties, all so far are good. The temperature of the coffee is just right and drinkable straight away.

Ideal Machine For Anyone
I have this fantastic machine which we use every where we go. We love Nespresso coffee and being able to carry on this little machine makes the most wonderful item for our trips. Both, machine and milk frother are easy to use and simple to clean. Highly recommend machine if you are traveller (best local trip as we haven't use this machine overseas). We haven't had any issue with the machine since purchased.

Wonderful for a small appliance!
Can't believe how well this very small coffee maker makes fantastic coffee dispite the mini size of the appliance. The Captuals are easy to fit in the machine and come in a wide range of types. Very easy to use simply plug in put in the Captuals and away you go then you get a great drink at the end

Coffee machine
This has been a brilliant machine from my office and is well hidden in a cupboard for my instant pleasure. My colleagues and clients have no idea what I'm up to although the machine does make a very loud noise when there is no other sound around. I also have a milk froth are which does and is also in the cupboard with the machine. The only issue I have is that Machine doesn't hold much water. Otherwise it is incredibly easy to use

Easy to use
Taste of coffee is great. It's so easy to use. I even get the nespresso compatible hot chocolate pods and even the kids can do it themselves. We use it everyday at least 3-4 times. Cleaning it is also very easy just run it under the tap and it's good as new

Well Loved
We had a lattisima machine as a hand me down when it broke we bought this as a replacement. While I like that one, this Essenza is way better as it only uses less space on our kitchen bench. Absolutely love the milk frother that comes with it. It'll save me a ton of money as compared to the pricey coffee shops and it's very easy to clean.

Beautiful machine and tasty coffee
Brought the Essenza Mini with the milk frother from Retravision. It is a very handy machine and fits neatly on a small kitchen bench. We love the design and it is very easy to use. The coffee is smooth and tasty with a wide selection to choose from. Very happy with the purchase.

My own in house barista
Loved the compact size of the machine. Easy to be kept and doesn't take a lot of space. Easy to operate and coffee tastes great. The Aeroccino 3 add another level of taste to the coffee, making it taste as good as coffee made by barista. A great way to save money on coffee in the long run.

Coffee perfection
Thought once upon a time that the only way to have your coffee was from your traditional coffee machine but then we discovered the pods and have never looked back. I mean they are easier and quicker to use which is great when in a rush to leave for work. Most importantly the coffee is just as good, if not better as it is more consistent. Being easy also extends to the maintenance which is minimal apart from putting in a solution to descale every 6 to 12 months for this machine.
This machine produces the perfect coffee every time. What is als...Read more
o great about Nespresso machines is that you have so much choice in coffee which includes your local supermarket. We love our Lungo coffee and just add the preheated milk first then the coffee. It is that easy for the perfect cup. Finally as the consultant at Nespresso said, all the machines from the cheapest to the most expensive will produce the exact same coffee. So, this machine being so small and looking stylish is great as it fits nicely in our kitchen. Build quality appears good so think it will be with us for a long time.. PS. it came with a frother which works well but we prefer our coffee without frothing the milk but it is still a good addition in case friends drop by.Similar opinion?

Love it! great coffees!
Bought the machine a few months back and we are very happy with it. Perfect for my morning coffee and very good value for money. Highly recommend to anyone in the market for a cheaper coffee machine. Now that we've had it for a while, we definitely can't live without it!

pretty good
Easy to use, taste is good, easy to clean. Water tank is a little bit small, need to refill frequently. But the size of the machine is quite good, doesn't take too much space. Fast heating. The price of this coffee machine is also reasonable. Generally good quality. Happy with this product and will recommend it to friends.

Essential Essenza
This is my third Nespresso machine and my preferred one. Baring the size being compact, it feels premium quality and has a better tactile feel to the capsule lever and the two buttons.
The biggest advance over my previous two is it is far quieter. It seems to build up pressure differently and never gets loud or piston-like as the others did.
Love it.

Questions & Answers
Catherine Kasked
Sustainability is important, can this model be used with a refillable pod?
3 answers
Hi Catherine good question but I have no idea. Suggest you contact Nespresso or use google for a possible answer. If the answer is yes it would apply to just about all their machines as they use the same pods.
Nespresso pods are finely calibrated so you can't refill them. But unlike other brands, Nespresso pods are recyclable at all Nespresso emporiums and at a range of florists. All of the metal is reprocessed and the grounds are used for fertiliser.
You can also buy degradable pods that fit Nespresso machines. Urban Brew have them
