    I absolutely love this machine. My counter space is very limited, and this is small enough to slide into a tight space out of the way while still accessible and easy to use. Works perfectly and does exactly what I need it to do. Extremely easy to use, maintain, and clean, and makes great espresso! Highly recommend.

    Wonderful! I love it! It is one of the smallest machines with 2 sizes of coffee but you can be creative and make other options, and the aeroshino works perfectly making a creamy milk using regular, evaporated or oat milk in my case. Also I use it only with instant Nescafe and obtained it like a capuchino

    Love this machine! I did have to exchange for a different one as there was an issue with the water tank, but no issues with the new one and I use it multiple times a day! Makes great coffee, works well with no issues and it’s so small and compact. Doesn’t take up a lot of space on the counter; huge plus!

    This machine is simple amazing. It takes up zero space and spits out hight quality espresso so fast is will make your head spin! I highly recommend it for the people who hate mornings and need to get going fast. I have already bought 100 of my favorite capsules and plan to buy many more.

    I don't think this is as loud as some others say it is; I have an older Keurig...now, THAT'S loud. I was pleasantly surprised how hot it made the espresso. I purchased this one for the space-saving size and it doesn't disappoint. The milk frother that came with mine, the Aeroccino, gets a little hot; there's a small brown spot (similar to burnt milk) left on the bottom when it's finished "frothing."

    There was no packaging other than the original box it comes in, so it arrived crushed and with a hole, but the product is working fine. Purchased on Black Friday for $99- great price. I have a higher end Nespresso machine at home but purchased this specifically for use in my office and on upcoming trips because it’s so small and light- no more crappy hotel coffee.

    I bought my daughter this for Christmas. She absolutely loves it! The mini size is perfect for her counter space. She sent us a picture to show us how happy she was with the machine and to show how well the frother works.

    A friend brought one with them on our vacation. I fell in love with it instantly, I bought it online and drove 45 mins away to get it the very same day, while still on this vacation!. Sadly I paid full price, but I wanted it to use on the rest of our travels during this vacation. The machine is fast, super efficient and makes an excellent espresso and froths milk better than my larger and heavier Breville machine at home (now 10 years old and still working!). Although you can only make one cup at a time, unlike my Breville, the beverage stays hotter and the frothing device is a hands free technological wonder. While it will not replace our Breville at home - it very well could, we brought it to use when we travel in our Airstream RV. Pros - Small, lightweight but sturdy, efficient, quick and simple to use and clean. Travels well. Makes an excellent, flavorful, cappuccino, espresso, latte or just plain cup of coffee - Every. Single. Time. Recycle of the used pods. Made by Breville. Cons - Only one cup at a time, and we recommend a simple rinse or cleaning of coffee dispenser with a water rinse run through - just a simple press of the button - after each cup, especially if you are using another coffee flavor pod - also, quick rinse and or wipe out of frothing unit as soon as empty - as a risk of milk foam build up and/or cooking/caking on after just about every use if you don't. where you can squezze out enough for two coffee toppings. Really much simpler to do than it all sounds. Also, hard to find these pods at stores, You will need to buy in bulk.

    Got this for a steal at $99 for everything and let me tell you i STILL would've paid full price for it! Great for home or office use. Clean up and operations are a 1 to 2 button system and the nespresso company recycles their pods unlike most brands so youre not destroying the planet for your fix. Use this every morning to make lattes for my partner and myself. The aerocino is great too. Non dairy isnt as impressive as cold foam you need ice cold skim/whole/or cut heavy cream for that but it foams oat milk hot so perfectly! Its small so your not sacrificing counter space and a real life saver if youre a casual at home barista

    I have never owned a pod/capsule type coffee machine before but I was getting sick of drip coffee and really enjoy espresso with milk so I thought I'd give this a go. For one, the machine itself is REALLY compact and it can fit in anyone's kitchen. For two, how easy it is to use is absolutely amazing! You basically just put a pod in and choose either espressso (small) or lungo (big) and the machine heats up in like 25 secs! With another press of a button the espresso dispenses! That's it! I have had no issues with the machine and I have been using it almost a month and a half now. The quality of espresso it makes can compete with machines 3-4 times the cost. The milk frother is so quiet you can't even hear it while it is turned on. Overall, this is the best bang for your buck you are going to get in the premium coffee world and I highly recommend this machine!

    Love my Mini Essenza. I have limited counter space and this is perfect. Small enough that it doesn't take up a ton of room, but also big enough to brew a delightful cup of espresso. I was an espresso beginner and I recommend this if you are like me. Now that I am a little more experienced, I wouldn't mind upgrading to a better model, but this still gets the job done. I love the Aeroccino it comes with as well. I always use it for my lattes. Nespresso does a great job-highly recommend!

    I’ve had this for about 7 months now. Honestly it’s worth the money. Easy to clean, easy to use. It doesn’t make a lot of noise and it’s pretty straight forward. The coffee comes out good. It’s small enough to fit in the kitchen without taking up a lot of space. I like how it’s narrow versus wide like other coffee machines out there. No issues with it so far and I use it frequently on a daily basis. I will buy another one if it ever breaks.

    Happiness at last! I’ve been wanting a home espresso machine, but not all the work and clean up. This machine is a marvel! For one thing, it has a tiny footprint on your countertop. It heats up quickly and makes very good espresso with a nice crema. The milk frother works like a charm, and creates wonderful foam. The whole process is SO easy, and I can clean up in seconds. For me, this is the perfect way to enjoy espresso at home. I know the capsules are more expensive than ground coffee, but well worth it in my opinion, and way less than a trip to Starbucks.
