Essenza Mini espresso Machine by De'Longhi, Black

Fallen in love with this, love the coffee , easy to use, easy to clean. Only one thing , the coffee is not piping hot, I heat for 5 sec or so in microwave

Wanted to buy an espresso machine for the longest time but hesitated due to my super busy schedule and detailed process of brewing a cup! After months of contemplation and going through several reviews finally I went ahead and bought the Nespresso Essenza Mini and boy oh boy I made the best choice. - super simple to operate and clean - a cuppa ready in under 2 minutes - variety of pods to choose from - compatible with few other good brands - makes my coffee corner look super cool - value for money - compact and cute - had made life simple for a coffee lover like me Go buy it !!

heard the name Nesspresso long time ago. finally ordered one .. prep coffee being a subject itself , must appreciate the simplicity this design offers for amateurs like me. Every brew reminds u of one of the best coffee houses available in ur locality … worth the price. worth the taste. worth the design! Learnt that it works while on drive from ur vehicle’s charger. will try dat soon and post a review :) Just reminds me the quote I read long back by JChan “Coffee is a language in itself” nd to add upon , the eSSenZa is the perfect medium to study it !

Pros: Compact - fits in the nook/corner of kitchen or even desk of office. Quick dispensing of espresso/lungo coffee (only with pods) Max 3 lungo cups in one refill of tank. Very good design and build quality, made in Germany. Almost zero mess, just dispose of the pods after 6 cups. Cons: No warranty in India. Tried registering the product on their website with serial number. The seller is importing from Europe and selling in India. Be careful just in case there is any issue within the first year, money is lost. Even one of the three manuals comes only in German.

Machine did not work after two weeks. Amazon says there is no return or warranty on this product. Tried to contact Naya gadget and they are disconnecting the call. Worst product. Don't buy...

I am a coffee aficionado and already have a espresso maker but wanted to try a coffee capsule style machine . The advantage of this is that it is very easy to use and eliminates the coffee grinding adding to filter etc. The coffee pods are easy to use and lasts for a very long time as these are sealed. However the coffee pods which came with the machine was not that good and very bland flavoured. I bought separate starbucks pods which has a much richer flavour and showcased the benefits of using this machine. Obviously there are some downsides, for the convenience you get you have to spend more. Coffee pods are really expensive and are only single use. You can try refilling a coffee pod and reuse but it really doesn’t work well. So though the machine will look reasonable think of the pros of buying coffee pods vs using coffee grounds before buying this machine. Personally I didn’t find there is a lot of difference between coffee from a normal espresso machine and the pod. Obviously this depends on the grounds you are using and type of pods being used.

Super

Even if you are a coffee lover or not... Even if you just like to drink coffee you must go for it. the product is just wow.. My Chai crazy wife has converted in to a coffee lover after this machine has entered our kitchen ... The taste, The aroma ,the freshness.. just wow... Before buying this I was afraid abt customer service .. but even the customer service of the seller is supper awesome... somebuddy plz tell me, Can i give it more than five stars?

The Essenza Mini is top-recommended by Consumer Reports. Our last machine died 2 years after admittedly heavy use (and no, I hadn't descaled until recently). I will take more care with this one. Oddly, it was not available on the Nespresso site itself, but I was able to get it through Amazon. It is small, so you have to refill the water and empty the capsule container often, at least if you have as much coffee as we do!

This machine is superior to all! More expensive but worth every penney!!!!!! I love this machine Always !!!! Its compact handy, the capsules are easy to insert, cleaning is easy, refilling is easy I absolutely love this machine and the coffee it puts out First Class Job well done Please don't ever change!

Very tiny, works very well good espresso!

For many years I have confused Nespresso with Nescafe. I thought it was some sort of quality instant coffee. Then at Thanksgiving I had my first experience with a Nespresso coffee making machine. I love it! It's very easy to use and it makes, I think, some the best tasting espresso and coffee that I've ever had. It was very surprising to me. I bought this Essenza for the smaller footprint. It fits very neatly on my kitchen counter. It gets the job done and makes not only espresso (about 1.4 oz) but also what they call espresso lungo which is about 4 oz. I have been grinding my own beans and making pour-through coffees for ages BUT in comparison I really think this method is tastier, much faster, super convenient and I rather enjoy the sound the machine makes. About pods: This machine is what they are calling an "Old Line" machine. The new-line machines use differently shaped pods. The pods are not cross compatible. The new line pods are more expensive as there are fewer companies making and selling them. Whichever type you buy there are espresso pods and also what they call Lungo pods. Lungo pods are more coffee-like strength-wise. A neat trick I picked up is to push the espresso button to make an espresso and then when its done also push the lungo button to add another 4 ounces of hot water through the pod. It's a way to make an Americano (a watered-down espresso). It has so much more flavor than most cups of brewed coffee. Lungo is a different pod.

Been looking for a Nespresso machine for a while, tried a few without success. This is the one. Small, very quiet compare to some I've tried and the coffee taste good. the first time I tried one of them was in Mexico while on vacation, should have gone to this machine first...
