The Nespresso Mini Coffee Machine
The Nespresso Mini coffee machine is the cheapest model within the Nespresso Original range, but it doesn't compromise on quality. It can make lungo and espresso drinks with ease.
The machine is easy to use, using just two buttons (one for espresso, one for lungo). As opposed to other machines it doesn't require ground beans, or a separate grinder.
Simple to use
A Nespresso Mini machine is a great option for those who are not in a position to or aren't will to afford a full-sized coffee maker but still want to enjoy an incredibly rich cup of espresso or coffee. These small machines sacrifice additional features and large reservoirs of water in order to reduce their footprint and keep costs as low as possible. sites are also simpler to maintain and clean than espresso machines with a high-end design.
The Essenza Mini is a compact and affordable Nespresso machine that offers a small footprint. It also has an intuitive interface. This machine uses a capsule system instead of beans and grounds which makes it more efficient and simpler to use than traditional espresso machines. It has two buttons that are programmable and an automatic flow stop so you can get the perfect cup of espresso each time. It is also light and compact making it easy to move around or place under your counters.
It is also compatible with third-party capsules, such as Woken. These are available in biodegradable version for those looking to reduce their environmental impact. It is important to remember that Nespresso recommends using their own brand of capsules since they are designed specifically for their machines and will offer the most effective results. However, you are able to purchase capsules from other companies at a lower price.
You'll require three cups of hot water to prepare your Essenza Mini for the first time you make use of it. After you've completed this step, you are ready to make your first cup of espresso. The instructions for the machine will show you how to reprogram two programmable buttons to match your preferred size of coffee.
The Essenza mini consumes a tiny amount of energy (0.005 kWh) when it is in use, and will shut down automatically after 9 minutes of inactivity. It also comes with a removable pod container and lid, which makes it easier to clean than many other models.
The Essenza mini, unlike the Vertuo machines, creates an aerated, thicker crema (a layer formed by tiny microbubbles that sit on top of the espresso). The thicker crema can be used to sweeten your espresso and also help it retain heat.
The Performance of an
Krups designed the Mini as an affordable, compact model that is ideal for small areas. It may not have fancy features, but it will make you a great cup of coffee every time. It's easy to use and simple to clean. It is perfect for a small kitchen or a counter that is cluttered. It's also light and portable which makes it an ideal choice for those on the go.
The Mini is a part of the Original Line. This means that it can make espresso and lungo drinks in the same way as other Nespresso machines. Our test subjects found that it was extremely quick to heat up, producing an espresso cup in around 28 seconds, and a lungo within 37 seconds. It is extremely quiet compared to the other models we tested which can create quite a ruckus when heating up and causing many counter-vibrations. The machine is also efficient in energy use and will automatically shut off after nine minutes of inactivity.
A definite plus for this little beauty is the ability to adapt to the shape of the water tank. It was simple to refill, and the reservoir can be removed to allow you to fill the machine by hand in the event of need.
One thing you'll be aware of is that there isn't an automatic water detection system, which may be a problem if your household isn't a huge drinker. Also, there's no milk option which means that if you're planning to be making cappuccinos or other coffees, you'll need a separate appliance to make this. It's also impossible to know whether the machine requires descaling which is crucial for those who reside in a region with hard water. It is necessary to add the specific solution to the tank of water and then press the button combination to start the process. This should be done at least once a year or so. Fortunately the manual is precise and clear when it comes to explaining how to do this.
Appearance
The Essenza Mini is Nespresso's most compact Original machine that combines the ease of use and simple design. It has two cups that can be programmed for espresso and lungo coffees, and the capability to automatically rinse and decalcify. It's also extremely quiet, and the sleek tower design can be placed on any countertop. Like any Nespresso machine, it will require regular cleaning and maintenance. It is important to remember that the flavor of your coffee will differ according to the capsule. Also, the crema consistency can also vary depending on the type of machine and size of the cup. This is particularly true of the less expensive Vertuo machines, which create bubbles but do not produce espresso foam.
