NESPRESSO by KRUPS Essenza Mini XN110140 Coffee Machine - 0.6L, White

Product Information

The Essenza Mini has a 20.3 oz water reservoir, which is undoubtedly very small as compared to other models. So, you will have to refill the water tank frequently if you drink a lot of coffee, or if you live with people that drink a lot of coffee. Nespresso partners with two well-known companies to make the Essenza Mini: Australia’s Breville and Italy’s De’Longhi. The two versions are shaped somewhat differently but essentially the same in function. The interior technology is all Nespresso, so you can expect the same quality from each machine. 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). Compostable capsule: is there a difference in brewing coffee compared to the aluminum capsule? Yes and no. The Essenza Mini is an espresso maker, so you can use it to make the espresso shots for lattes. There isn’t a built-in milk frother or steamer, so you may need to buy one separately. An affordable way to do this is to upgrade to the bundle, which includes Nespresso’s stand-alone milk frother, the Aeroccino3. The coffee dose is the biggest difference between real espresso and Nespresso coffee. A single espresso typically contains 7 to 10 grams of ground coffee, whereas Nespresso capsules have only 5 grams. If you’re used to drinking espresso, primarily if you’re used to double shots, you might wonder why you don’t feel quite as perky after your Nespresso brew.

So what’s the bottom line? The Essenza Mini is a well-built, affordably-priced Nespresso coffee maker. If you’re looking for a simple espresso machine that won’t blow your budget, this model could be for you. With an automatic cleaning program, an impressively small footprint, and a choice of two brew sizes, the Essenza Mini has a lot to offer. With paper-based capsules, sometimes a few drops of water leak into the cup at the beginning of brewing. Small size isn’t a priority: The compact design of the Essenza Mini distinguishes it from the rest of the Nespresso machines line-up. If you aren’t too pressed for space, the slightly larger Nespresso Pixie is less expensive, produces the same coffee, and is just as easy to use.The VertuoLine is a newly-launched mechanism by the company that uses rapid capsule spinning to extract shots from capsules. 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? You should know that like other espresso machines, the Essenza Mini will also require frequent cleaning and descaling from your side. It is important to clean the capsule container and drip tray every day. As for the water reservoir, try to thoroughly rinse it at least thrice a week. Thankfully, cleaning the Essenza Mini is effortless as all the parts can be removed easily. While testing the pod, I found out that the Essenza mini is also compatible with the original Nespresso coffee capsules. So, you can try out different coffee flavors as per your desires! No matter what flavor you choose, the espresso will always be creamy. Design: Compact and Ideal for Small Spaces Ontkalk uw machine minstens één keer per jaar als u gebruik maakt van zacht water. Let op: voor hard water wordt het aangeraden om twee keer per jaar te ontkalken.

We recommend regular cleaning and descaling of your machine regardless of which capsules you use. Technical support What if there is water or coffee under the appliance? After preparing your coffee, wait a few moments to allow the capsule to cool and eject it (gently lift the lever) into the capsule bin. Though single-serve espresso machines like Nespresso aren’t always known for their environmental benefits, the Essenza Mini has a few nice features in this regard. It only takes 25 seconds for it to heat to read-to-brew temperature, much faster than most espresso machines, and brewing coffee takes less than a minute. It automatically enters a low energy consumption eco mode after 3 minutes without activity and will power down after 9 minutes. We recommend using the paper capsules within 4 weeks after opening the sachet, keeping them in their sachet by closing it with a clip and storing the sachet in a dry, cool place, sheltered from light.

The Essenza Mini can make espresso of different flavours, and Americano by customising the programming buttons. What is the difference between Nespresso Essenza Mini and Inissia? If you put the capsules in a jar or a closed box, we cannot guarantee the shelf-life of your capsules within 4 weeks of opening the sachet. Compostable capsule: there is mould in the capsule bin.

When we tested the Essenza Mini, we were impressed: the espresso was complex and creamy. Extra Features The Essenza Mini offers a programmable energy-saving mode. The machine will automatically shut off after nine minutes, but you can extend that to 30. You’ll also need to manually eject used capsules into the collection tray, which can hold five to six capsules. Voor een goede espresso of lungo is de waterkwaliteit essentieel. Daarom raden wij u aan het water in het reservoir dagelijks te verversen.As briefly mentioned above, the Nespresso Essenza Mini features only two programming buttons. Hence, it was super easy for me to use as compared to other machines. Also, it heated up pretty fast in under 30 seconds. After it heats up, all you need to do is start your brewing process. insert a coffee capsule, close the container, and select your cup size i.e. 1.35 oz or 3.70 oz. That’s all. The recipes are already pre-programmed. Your coffee will immediately start brewing and dispense in your cup even before you know it. Dit kan voorkomen bij het eerste gebruik, na het legen of na een lange periode van niet-gebruik. Zorg dat het waterreservoir voldoende gevuld en goed geplaatst is. Druk een aantal keer op de koffievolumeknop (bijv. de lungo- of espressoknop) totdat de koffie/het water eruit stroomt. Bij een ongebruikelijke koffiedoorstroming controleert u het volgende: This coffee maker is truly easy to use, offering just two buttons. Insert the capsule, push down the lever, and select the espresso or lungo brew size. You can access a few settings by holding down the buttons — enter the descaling mode or change the auto-off timing — but otherwise, there aren’t many ways you can control your brew. Coffee Quality If you ask us, we will always vouch for the OriginalLine espresso machines than the VertuoLine ones. Why? Because the 19-bar pump will give you the most luxurious and hottest cup of espresso coffee with foamy crema!
