Nespresso by De'Longhi 19 Bar, Espresso Machine

If you want to drink espresso at home, this is all you need. A couple notes, the machine is very simple but can be a little confusing at first. The machine needs to heat up, if you press a button before its warmed up, nothing will happen, but the selection will start as soon as the machine is warm, whether you have put a pod in or not. So don't press a button until you're good and ready. The lever to close the machine can be hard to pull especially with non Nespresso brand pods, but if you close it with confidence, it will go. Finally,the Aeroccino machine is pure magic.

After my "high end" feature rich, expensive Nespresso machine failed after two years I decided to back to basics. This has no wifi connection, electronic pod load, user selectable temp functiins. it just has two buttons (small or large shot but you can set default shot volume), has mechanical pump action pod load. It is the same as or very close copy of the original nespresso models. It's faster than the one it replaced, takes up much less counter space and I find I dont miss any of the "function upgrades" of newer designs.

It’s great and compact with the same Nespresso taste

I agree with most of the reviews that this is cheaper and smaller than the Pixie, but it also quieter. And we did not need the larger so was perfect for us. One statement misleading to me was the cup size allowed. The 5 1/2 inches requires removal of the drip tray, otherwise 3 1/2 inches. Not a big deal to simply remove the tray. But this did effect my decision which to purchase, jut not enough for me to return. The Frother also works great.

Compact Coffee machine, very good for small kitchens

We put these machines in our Motel rooms. They are compact, functional and reliable. Our go to option for our Pod Coffee Machines.

Heats up very quickly and produces a nice coffee. Even though it is a small unit it works well.

My Nespresso machine just died after 6 years....or so. I purchased the same model, compact, easy to use and makes the best cappaccino. Thank you for making it so easy to purchase...delivered right to my door..and the frother is a delight.

We gave this Essenza Mini Starter Pack as a gift for Christmas and the person who received it, absolutely loved it. It had everything you could possibly want to start your coffee journey with Nespresso. Well done Nespresso on putting together such a wonderful well priced pack.

Love my Nespresso pack however was disappointed not to receive a coffee cup of some sort as a thank you
