About this deal

As a pod machine, maintenance is at a minimum. Aside from emptying the capsules when the container is full, you’ll need to regularly wash out the drip dray. Regular Nespresso machines such as this one tend to drip quite a bit, so the tray can become quite dirty. The larger Nespresso Vertuo Next uses different pods that are spun at the end to prevent dripping. Vertuo is a different experience, built around larger mug-fulls of coffee, so may not suit your needs. My model doesn’t have milk frothing, but you can add an Aeroccino at any point, or spend a bit more on the CitiZ&Milk, which has an Aeroccino built-in – although it does mean the overall footprint of the coffee machine is bigger and hence it will take up a bit more space.

Not all of us need the fanciest coffee machine, and if you just want something good-looking and easy to use that reliably dispenses espresso, the Nespresso CitiZ could well be for you. With its decent water capacity and clever design, including a fold-down cup stand, this is currently the best low-cost Nespresso machine available. Design and features It was the same for the lungo, too, with the 110ml being delivered consistently regardless of the capsule used. The Citiz and Milk coffee machine features an integrated power-saving mode, which turns the machine off 9 minutes after use. If you want to change this, it can be reprogrammed for up to 30 minutes, to suit your particular needs.Magimix Citiz and Milk Nespresso Coffee Machines have been slim-lined to take up even less room, without sacrificing efficiency and quality. This means you get the same great tasting coffee at the touch of a button, without the machine eating up precious worktop space. Measuring my shot of espresso, it was delivered at 60.1ºC, which is just about right: sufficiently hot, but cool enough to drink straight away. Some people complain about Nespresso machines not being hot enough – but this one, for certain, works at exactly the right temperature. With higher volumes of coffee, such as a lungo, the final temperature was a bit hotter at 73ºC – again, this is just about spot on.

The coffee machine features a generously-sized 1 litre water tank, to minimise the need for refilling, the Citiz and Milk will create great tasting coffee for you and your friends easily, and whenever you want it. Using Nespresso’s coffee capsules, the Citiz coffee machine features simple, automatic and programmable controls. To load the coffee, just open the push/pull level and drop in your pod. Then simply hold one of the two dedicated buttons for tall or short glasses until the coffee reaches the right level for yours, and the machine will remember the amount for next time. With its handsome styling, Magimix’s white Citiz and Milk coffee machine brings a touch of cosmopolitan sophistication to every brew – so you can enjoy your favourite fragrant, crema-topped Nespresso coffee in moments. And there’s an integrated Aeroccino3 milk frother, so frothy cappuccinos and hot milky lattes are easy too.

The main cup stand will take a mug of coffee, but there’s also a fold-down stand that’s designed for espresso cups, positioning the spout closer to your mug. It’s a neat design that can take quite tall mugs for lattes, too. I should mention the breadth of Nespresso capsules available, which take in pretty much every taste (including decaffeinated) and even special, flavoured capsules. To my mind, Nespresso has the best range of capsules for any pod coffee machine. Brewing coffee couldn’t be easier. Just lift up the metal handle at the front, drop your chosen capsule into place and shut the lid. There are two brew buttons: one for espresso (40ml) and the other for a lungo (110ml). Capsules are available for both sizes. Although the Nespresso Pixie is the smallest machine in Nespresso’s original lineup, the CitiZ isn’t much bigger at 372 x 130 x 278mm. In particular, the footprint of the CitiZ is very similar to that of the Pixie, but the CitiZ is considerably taller.

If you change your mug, repeat the process for your new glass of choice. And with 19 bar pressure, the machine draws this full richness and aroma from the coffee grounds. The Pixie is only able to take a larger mug by flipping up the hinged drip tray. Despite the tray being hinged for this purpose, any drips on the outside of the cup will end up on your kitchen surface; with the CitiZ, the drip tray is always available. Coffee quality The compact design of the coffee machine has earned “The Red Dot” award for it. This coffee machine suits any interior design and is a space saver due to its’ convenient size.” The very first shot of espresso to come out of the CitiZ was slightly under the 40ml default. I’m assuming this is because the pump has to be primed first with water. After that, shot-after-shot came out at exactly the same level, regardless of the capsule I used.
