A Step-By-Step Guide To Selecting The Right Small Nespresso Machine
The Best Small Nespresso Machines

Nespresso machines are well-known for their user-friendly. You simply drop the pod in and press a button. Many devices have a fast temperature-up time as well as touchscreen displays.

There's also a variety of sizes that will meet your preferences. The smaller Nespresso machine, the Essenza Mini, is designed to maximize space thanks to its compact footprint and slim profile.

1. Nespresso Essenza Mini

The Essenza Mini is Nespresso's most basic and affordable machine. It is also the most user-friendly machine, as it can be switched on by pressing the button. Your coffee is ready in a matter of minutes. Nespresso's portioned capsule system makes it easy to bring coffee-shop quality espresso to your home and the brand is known for its sleek machines that can fit into small spaces.

This model, along with its bigger cousin, the Pixie 1, are both included in Nespresso's Original Line of pod-based espresso machines. These machines do not have milk frothers. However, you can add hot milk or hot water to your coffee to give it a different taste. These machines are great for those who don't want the trouble or mess of traditional drip coffee makers.

If you'd rather, you can make use of a milk maker from an outside source with this machine. The only drawback of the Mini is that it only produces two cup sizes, an espresso and a lungo. This isn't a problem for most people, however it's worth considering if you plan to use the Mini often.

The Mini is smaller and lighter than the size and weight of other Original Line Nespresso machines, which is ideal when you have a limited counter space. The machine is also energy-efficient, using less power than other coffee makers. It's easy to refill its 20.3-ounce water tank and empty capsule containers, too.

We tested the Essenza Mini for our Single-Serve Coffee Makers review and it scored highly in our tests of first-cup speed, repeat speed and consistency of temperature between cups. We also found it easy to operate, simple to refill, and clean.

The neopresso machine is available in two different shapes and five colors: black white gray, red and lime green. The Mini C is a boxy machine with straight lines while the Mini D has a triangular shape and more inclined lines. The two models have the same price and share the same brewing capabilities however, they differ in their appearance. The best option for you is based on your personal taste and the amount of storage space you have.

2. Nespresso CitiZ

This machine isn't the most expensive but it's an excellent alternative for those who want to make cappuccino and espresso at home. Ongoing is simple to use and compact, taking up less room than other models. It is slim in its footprint, meaning it will be a good fit on kitchen counters. It makes coffee using capsules which is easy and clean. The machine is quick to heat up and comes with an automatic, fast energy-saving feature that shuts off the machine after nine minutes of no activity. It also has an elegant design and comes in four colors that match various kitchen styles.

The machine has two programmable buttons that let you select the amount you want to drink. The machine will stop the flow of water once it has reached the desired amount of Espresso or Lungo. The machine also comes with a foldable tray that allows it to fit taller recipe glasses. It is easy to operate, meaning even those who aren't tech-savvy can operate it.

The Nespresso CitiZ does not have a button that is dedicated to dispensing milk foam. The milk frother can only be used when the machine is turned on. This can be frustrating when making cappuccinos or other drinks that require a large amount of frother.

The machine also doesn't have an automatic hot water dispenser. You'll need to manually add water each time you use it. This can be a pain for busy family or are away from home for a prolonged period of time. The machine does not come with a travel cup, which is common among smaller Nespresso models.

The Nespresso machine has a compact footprint and is easy to clean. This makes it easier to store. It also features a simple one-touch brewing system. It takes around 25 seconds to warm up, which is quite fast compared to other brands. It is also recommended to descale the machine on a regular basis to get rid of mineral buildup and keep it running at its best. Nespresso offers a descaling option that you can run through the machine to keep it in good working order.

3. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Vertuo Plus brings single-serve brewing to a new height. This machine can create various coffees and espressos at the pressing of a button. It heats up quickly, between 15 and 25 seconds. It also comes with the Aeroccino milk froth maker that makes cold or hot froth for your favorite coffee recipes in a matter of seconds.

The Vertuo Plus, like other Nespresso machines, is simple to operate. Simply insert the capsule and then press the button. The machine will scan the barcode and adjust the brewing settings according to. The capsule is spun at a rate of up to 7,500 turns per minute, combining ground coffee with water to produce a rich crema.

This technology is exclusive to the Vertuo range which aims to deliver an even and consistent extraction than other Nespresso machines. The result is a drink that is smoother with a more rich crema than traditional pod drinks. The Vertuo Plus can also deliver longer drinks, such as alto or granlungo, which would not be possible with traditional pod machines.

The design of the Vertuo plus is a major advantage. The machine is made from plastic of high-quality and has a slender machine body. The water tank is placed on either the left or right side of the machine. The drawer for capsules can also be closed automatically. It also has a cup support that can adjust to tall travel cups.


One thing to keep in mind is that the Vertuo Plus isn't the ideal option for smaller spaces. It can take up a lot of counter space, measuring 12.8 inches high and 12.7 inches wide. It is also very heavy, and could be difficult to move if you live on an upper floor. The majority of reviewers were pleased with the Vertuo Plus's simplicity of use and rapid making. Many people also liked that the large 40 ounce water tank rarely needed refilling, and it was easy to clean.

4. Nespresso Pixie

The Pixie is Tinkerbell designed for small coffee machines. It's tiny adorable, cute, and enchanting (especially in the morning). It can satisfy your black coffee desires with no fuss, just like its fictional counterpart. It's among Nespresso's most efficient single-cup espresso makers capable of brewing short shots in less than an hour. It's also extremely energy efficient, and can be shut off automatically after nine minutes of idleness.

The machine will reach the perfect temperature in just 25 seconds. You can enjoy one shot of lungo or espresso while you're on the way to work. The single-touch buttons can be set to give 1.35-ounces of espresso or 3.7 tons of lungo shots. The high-pressure pump that has 19-bar pressure delivers results that are similar to those at the coffee shop you frequent.

It comes in a few different colors, and has a sleek design that looks great on your counter. The body of the machine is made from lightweight aluminum and plastic. The cup support and sides are made of aluminum that is thin and recycled ABS plastic. The handle latch is made of a metal known as Zamak that is lightweight and long-lasting.

The machine is simple to operate and has a number of features, including a fast brewing time and low energy consumption. The automatic shut-off is a great feature as is the fact that both the capsule container and the capsule bin that's used can be removed for easy cleaning. It's also easy to fill the water tank, and a red backlight will let you know when the tank is full.

The Pixie as with all Nespresso machines needs to be cleaned regularly. The process takes about 15 minutes and involves filling the tank with Nespresso descaler liquid and then running the program to cleanse the system. This helps keep the machine in good condition and shields it from calcium deposits that could cause problems for its performance.

One thing to remember about the Pixie is that it can't be used to make latte and cappuccino drinks. If you're looking to drink a milky drink it is necessary to purchase an additional milk frother. It's not too expensive however it can be quite a hassle.
