Super fast, easy, quiet, & has a tiny footprint. Makes about 4 of the 3.75 oz. espressos per water tank & you can get the coffee pods at Trader Joe's for $4 a box!

This has a nice small footprint, not real noisy, easy to clean and maintain. The only complaint I have is that when you place a pod in the input mechanism, it feels like your going to crush the pod. Of course it works just fine, but never had a machine like this. Very happy overall.

Quieter than most of the Nespresso machines - reasonably quiet by most standards. It makes a great espresso. The machine is tidy and small. At home making espresso and lungo (about a half cup of coffee). The waste bin is a little small. But hey, compact is awesome. Besides, the machine looks super cool.

Easy to use with excellent results. Great coffee, especially when using Peet's cartridges. Doesn't take up a lot of space with a nice, sleek appearance.

We snagged this at the start of the shutdown/lockdown in 2020 and it's served us every day multiple times a day ever since. It's easy to clean up and works well. Long button presses can reset what the buttons do, which was a pain at first, but we haven't had issues since we first started using it.

I have a regular drip coffee maker and wanted an espresso maker that was compact and easy to use. I do not like the taste of coffee from Keurigs. Nespresso is small and does not take up room on my counter. It is perfect for a quick espresso. Choose from 1.35 oz or 3.75oz. It comes with a sampler pack of 14 flavors of Nespresso brand capsules. You can use other brands of espresso capsules.

We had been wanting a Nespresso for years, but never pulled the trigger. We finally did, and now we are sad that we waited so long. The Essenza Mini is super easy to use, looks great, and takes up very little space on the counter. Getting a fresh hot cup of espresso has never been easier!

This espresso maker is great. It’s fast, easy to use and gives the option for a single shot or a lungo. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high quality machine that doesn’t take up too much counter space.

needed a small coffee machine for work because the one here sucks. not too expensive but still better than regular instant or ground coffee (although there's nothing wrong with them, i'm just not a fan of coffee in general, so coffee for me is more a treat than a necesity). first i though of the competition's kups, but although very popular and cheaper in terms of pods with a wide selection with popular brands' drinks, i still wanted to check out Nespresso. Not only the coffee is smooth, smells awesome, dances with you tongue before drop kicking into your throat, but Nespresso recycles the pods for free at any Nespresso store or store partners, send you free UPS bags you just need to drop off at any UPS joint. Their customer service is exemplary even for a problem that was minor. I'm totally a fan now.

Makes coffee 10 times better than starbucks and 30x better than a watered down Keurig K cup system. I like to add all the flourishes (creamers, sugar, whipped cream, nutmeg, cinnamon lol) to my coffee but since buying this machine I have learned to enjoy the unique tastes of different types of coffee without that stuff. Though i mainly still doctor it up. But even with all of that stuff in it, I can taste the quality of the coffee. It isn’t like a Keurig that just passes water over some grounds in a plastic cup, it actually sends the coffee through the system. I am going to get one for some folks for christmas! Take that Keurig to Goodwill!!’

I LOVE the mini Nespresso! It’s small, which I like because I hate big bulky coffee makers. I switched from a Keurig because I hated the acidic taste to it. Nespresso is definitely SO much better. I’m able to carry around the machine when I travel too! I love their initiative to be earth friendly by having recycle-able pods and you’re even able to ship back the pods for free. Lastly, I love that it doesn’t heat it up too hot. I know some people want their espresso hot but I hate waiting around for my espresso to warm up. It’s heated to the perfect temperature where I can drink it right away

Makes great espresso and it's quick. I use it almost every morning. We make our favorite dessert which is vanilla ice with poured over expresso and frangelica and its made in a snap.

We love this little thing. Takes up barely any counter space and makes espresso that actually tastes like espresso. Buries K Cups. As user friendly as it comes.

Don’t let the small size fool you. This little Nespresso machine makes a great shot of espresso, and is small enough even for an office cube.
