Ease of Use

A mini Nespresso espresso machine is a great alternative for those who aren't ready or able to make the investment in a full-sized espresso maker, but wants to enjoy the rich flavor of a high-quality cup of coffee or espresso. These machines aren't equipped with extra features and big reservoirs of water to reduce their footprint and keep costs as low as is feasible. They are also easier to clean and maintain than traditional espresso makers.

The Essenza Mini is a compact and affordable Nespresso machine that has the smallest footprint. It also comes with an intuitive interface. This machine makes use of a capsule system instead of grounds and beans, making it much faster and more user-friendly than a traditional espresso machine. It comes with two buttons that can be programmed and an automatic flow stop, so it's easy to make your perfect cup of espresso each time. The machine is light and compact, making it easy to move around or put under counters.

It is also compatible with third-party capsules from brands like Woken that are available in biodegradable forms for those who want to reduce their environmental impact. It is important to note that Nespresso recommends using their own capsules since they are designed for their machines and will give the most effective results. However, you can also purchase capsules from other companies for less cost.

When you first start using your Essenza Mini, you'll need to run a cycle of three cups of water through it to prepare the machine for its initial use. After completing this step, you are ready to make your first cup of espresso. The manual will guide you through how to modify the two buttons that can be programmed for your preferred coffee size.

Unlike the machines in the Vertuo line, the Essenza mini produces a thicker crema (a layer of tiny microbubbles that form at the top of an espresso) rather than the frothy, bubble-filled aerated hat that you see with Vertuo models. The higher level of crema helps the drink to retain its heat, and it can be used to add sweetness to your espresso.

Our test subjects found that it was very quick to heat up, making the espresso drink in about 28 seconds and a lungo in just 37 seconds. The machine is quieter than a few of the other models that we tried. They can produce a lot of noise while heating up, and create lots of counter-vibration. The machine is energy efficient and will shut off automatically after 9 minutes.

This small beauty can be adjusted to suit the shape of your water tank. Our testers found that it was very easy to refill and the reservoir can be removed from the machine so that you can fill it up by hand in the event of need.

Be aware that the machine does not have an automatic water detection system. This may be a problem for households that don't drink as much. There's also no milk option. If you want to make cappuccinos, or any other type of coffee, then you'll require an extra machine. It's also impossible to know when the machine needs descaling, which is important for those who reside in an area that has hard water.

Fortunately the manual is clear and detailed in explaining how to accomplish this.
