VertuoLine: Their new line that uses Centrifusion (rapid capsule spinning) to extract shots from barcode-enabled capsules but also brews standard coffee up to 17 oz For cold beverages, use water at ambient temperature, never refrigerated water, and place two or more ice cubes (20g per ice cube) in the cup. The Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine may be the smallest unit from Nespresso yet, but it confidently retains all the features and capabilities of some of the brand’s high end machines. All the way from the 19 bar pressure pump to peak energy savings, it’s clear that the reduction in size and price didn’t have any effect on the coffee quality and taste. Note: for hard water descale twice per year. (If you don’t know what water type you have hard water tends to leave white marks in the water tank) At only 2 Kg, the Nespresso Essenza mini is so compact it barely takes up half the space of a toaster. But don’t think for a second that the smaller size means lower performance. Surprisingly, the Essenza mini carries an incredible 19 bar high pressure pump – that’s enough juice to produce barista style results every time. This works pretty well with the already programmed cup sizes for lungo and espresso.

The Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine may be the smallest unit from Nespresso yet, but it confidently retains all the features and capabilities of some of the brand’s high end machines. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, here comes Nespresso with its most compact unit yet. Offering a choice between two distinctive contemporary shapes, three different colours to suit your space, and versatile programmable cup sizes, the Essenza Mini truly is a small machine that opens up a whole world of possibilities. If you’re looking to make endless coffees and prefer volume over specifically tailored individual drinks, this coffee machine, like most pod-machines, may not be for you. If you want to tailor your drinks with a higher temperature or shorter volume of water, then I’d recommend taking a look at the Tassimo Bosch My Way 2 that we recently reviewed. This requires a pressure of 15 bar (achieved only by espresso machines), water heated to 90-92°C and finely ground and measured coffee (7 g per cup). Where can I dispose of my appliance at the end of its life span? To be noticed that water hardness is the first reason of machine calcification and so it is recommended to descale the machine frequently (every 3months or less according to water hardness).

Sure, you won’t be winning any barista competitions or killing it on the latte art scene anytime soon; but it’s a one stop shop for anyone who enjoys a good espresso. Where to buy?Tap water (normal household potable water) is perfectly OK as long as it is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled water is also OK.

For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months.

In fact, an expresso can be distinguished by its rich aroma and the creamy foam on the surface of the cup. Likewise, the control panel is as easy to use and as intuitive as it gets. All you have to do is decide whether you’re having the programmed espresso, or pre programmed lungo and the machine takes care of the rest. Scale deposits naturally form in your coffee maker. Regular descaling helps protect your coffee maker and ensures it a longer life. It will also help maintain a quality of coffee that remains constant over time. What is the best way to descale or clean my espresso machine? We must point out that the smaller water tank may need fairly frequent refills (it’s only 0.6L), and the spent-pods hopper will need frequent emptying too. If your machine is near a sink however, neither of these points should cause you much heartache though. The new Essenza Mini combines ease of use, minimalist beauty and unrivalled Nespresso quality to create the perfect coffee cup every time. The Essenza Mini offers 2 programmable cup sizes for espresso and Lungo coffees.

All the Nespresso machines are equipped with a 19-bar pressure pump, which provides the power needed to pierce the film of the capsule and reveal the coffee’s 900 or so different aromas. The shape of the Nespresso capsule has been specially designed to ensure that the pressurised water flows evenly through the ground coffee during extraction. The temperature and flow time are also set to ensure that each precious aroma is expressed.If slow and alternate blinkings (every 2 seconds) mean that the machine is in power save mode (stand-by). This mode is activated after 9 minutes of non-use. If you live in an area where the water is very hard, you may wish to descale more often. Does the water tank need to be cleaned? By doing so, you pre-heat your coffee cup and you rinse the extraction system for better coffee experience. The Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine is a pretty small model. So as you’d expect, there’s not really that many features and functions to get lost in. Even the dimensions themselves tell you that everything’s going to be easy and straightforward. At 33 cm by 8.4 cm by 20.4cm and 2 Kg, it leaves a very small footprint making it easier to place and move about in the kitchen. For our money, OriginalLine machines are better than VertuoLine machines because their pump produces more authentic espresso, the coffee tends to be hotter, and there's no barcode scanning system meaning you can find less-expensive third-party capsules.
