The Essenza Mini makes the same exact espresso as $400 Nespresso machines, but it has no unnecessary features.

The smallest Nespresso machine available makes as-good-as-Starbucks espresso drinks at the push of a button.

The Essenza Mini makes the same espresso as $400 Nespresso machines but has a smaller footprint and no unnecessary features.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: If Nespresso is the preferred brand, rather than Keurig, try the Nespresso Essenza Mini. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s one of the best Nespresso brewers in our ratings. It earns high marks across the board but receives only a Good rating for temperature consistency, meaning some cups might be hotter than others. The Essenza Mini comes with a removable reservoir, a height-adjustable drip tray, and auto-shutoff. Wrapped in a deep red finish, this little brewer will add a bit of flair to the dorm room.

CR’s take: One of the top-rated single-serve machines, the Nespresso Essenza Mini stands out with Excellent scores on CR’s brew time tests and for its ability to control the brew volume for different strengths. This compact model is great for the office or anywhere you need to accommodate a variety of tastes. The adjustable drip tray and auto-off function add to its low-maintenance profile. Like other Nespresso models, it requires Nespresso capsules, which the company recycles at no charge.

I picked up a used Nespresso mini essenza from Facebook market place for $65. I like it at that price, and the pods from Costco are reasonably priced. 

Did I spend almost $400 to make espresso drinks at home? Yup. Worth it

Hey there! I’m a frequent coffee drinker but no way near to the degree of excellence I see in this sub. I use (forgive me) a Nespresso Essenza Mini alongside a Nespesso Aerocinno 3 Milk Frother.

I’d love to upgrade to something else in this price range, the machine is okay, but I really need a decent milk frother or alternative so I can make coffee better! I’d really appreciate any suggestions or recommended products!

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

I grew up with very expensive espresso machines and have had a hard time finding one that makes as good tasting espresso. This is the closest that I have found to the quality that I am used to. I like the compact size for my apartment size kitchen as it doesn't take up too much counter space. I do wish that it looked a bit more sophisticated though…

 So i usually have this espresso shot in the morning and i'll add milk. So i'll have a nice cup of cappuccino in the morning and then in the afternoon i'll pull again a single shot and i'll make an iced latte the logo. You can also do it as an iced latte. You can also do it as a hot latte, but you will need to use a larger mug and double the milk overall

 So the box came with this machine and at the back, there's a water tank that you can just remove and then fill up the water and then attach back. So the only trick is that you need to place it like this with the lid open and then slot it and it will close. And then this is the arachino tree um, it's a milk frother, it frost, milk, cold or hot, by pressing on this button. If you simply press for one second, it will turn red and then you will froth the milk at a hot temperature

 And then this is the arachino tree um, it's a milk frother, it frost, milk, cold or hot, by pressing on this button. If you simply press for one second, it will turn red and then you will froth the milk at a hot temperature. But if you keep it pressed for five seconds, this button will turn blue and then the froth will be cold. The machine is quite simple

I bought a NESPRESSO Essenza Mini coffee machine 🤍 REVIEW | 2021

Love this espresso maker, it's a great brand and I love that it comes with the milk frothed! That makes my lattes taste really delicious and they're always fresh and hot! I love that it takes only a bit of counter space and it's very easy to use! I've enjoyed the sampler that came with the machine and how easy it is to operate! Really delicious lattes at home, I'm very pleased!

I've had this for several years and it still works great! My only complaint about nespresso machines is that they don't pull very hot shots. I feel like it's a great machine for a quick shot, but I would LOVE it would heat the water more.

Love my nespresso machine! Wish it were cheaper! The coffee cubs can definitely be on the bigger side!

Love my nespresso machine!

This popular traditional style semi-automatic espresso machine is built to last. Its strong linear designed housing is constructed of an iron frame and stainless steel side panels. Built with Rancilio's commercial grade group head for excellent heat stability and premium extraction quality. Features a patented ergonomic 58mm porta filter for superb extraction. These are the same porta filters used on Rancilio commercial machines. The single boiler of the Silvia has the largest volume capacity of any home machine in its class. Holding 0.3 liters (12oz) this chrome plated brass boiler produces outstanding steaming power and remarkable recovery time between shots. The two quart water reservoir can be removed or filled from the top at anytime during the operation. The Rancilio Silvia features an articulating stainless steel steam wand that allows for a complete range of motion for steaming perfect latte quality milk. Control steaming power with the commercially designed steam knob. This Silvia comes with a 7 gram coffee scoop, a plastic tamper and two filter baskets (single and double). This is the most current version of the Silvia available direct from the factory.

 The main issue is not having the ability to just coast with coffee. I have to figure out the correct grind setting, amount of coffee and tamper it correctly to get a good or even decent espresso shot and a cappuccino requires some actual skill.

Quite frankly, to me the answer was no. Got a Rancilio Silvia as a wedding present and time to time I have pulled shots quite regularly, but with work, kids and having other activities the time and effort just isn’t worth it.

I brew a lot of coffee. Typically using a cafetiere, moka pot, aeropress or a v60. I love "proper" espresso and the drinks that accompany it however there seems to be a massive pay wall to get there. My question is whether it is worth it? I think the pre heating and cleaning would put me off. People who have them do you use it enough to make up for the effort/price.

Are espressos machines viable for home?

  On the positive side, I like the appearance of this machine. It definitely has a 'presence' on the kitchen counter (I also purchased the Rancilio grinder and the Rancilio storage base base). I think the major issue with this machine is that it gets into a price point where most of us expect more features and consistency. As many have pointed out, the machine CAN produce GREAT espresso, but it IS very inconsistent, and if you go through the whole cycle of temp surfing, it's a lot of work for a shot

 If you use an electric razor, you won't like this machine.  === UPDATE 7/23 I've used this machine every day now since I purchased it, and I'm neither upgrading nor downgrading the initial assessment.  On the positive side, I like the appearance of this machine. It definitely has a 'presence' on the kitchen counter (I also purchased the Rancilio grinder and the Rancilio storage base base)

 I'm keeping it even though it looks and feels like something from a Soyouz rocket control box. The coffee better be good - in fact I expect it to be great once I get acquainted with this baby.  So.

Soviet-era heavy-duty like...

The Silvia has the least frustrating of these, in temperature control - you can learn to "temperature surf". The pressure is right, the portafilter is the standard 58mm size, the steaming is pretty good, and so on.

So I kinda want to upgrade to an espresso kit at home, but I'm not sure if it'll be worth it.  

Right now, I mostly brew coffee using a surprisingly decent pair of shockingly cheap cuisinart products---a random $60 burr grinder (DBM-8) that they make, and a drip coffeemaker (DCC-3200).  When I want to get a little nicer, I break out the aeropress that I've had basically since they came out.  And honestly, I'm pretty satisfied with that setup---I'm very picky about the beans I use, and with high quality beans it seems to work pretty well for me.  So I keep kicking around the idea of upgrading to a proper pourover setup and deciding that the extra expense and trouble won't bring me *that much* better coffee to be worth it.

But espresso is a different story.  I'd really love to be able to make myself a capp at home.  But also, nothing's nastier to me than bad espresso. So if I'm going to do that, I'm going to do it right---which I guess means sinking a couple grand into equipment.  Which... I make enough money that I can afford that, but not enough that it wouldn't sting, you know?  I guess it pays for itself in a couple hundred drinks, but will I actually make a couple hundred drinks?

Having never pulled a shot before, I'm pretty hesitant to make that kind of commitment, to the expense, and to the effort (especially maintenance).  What if I hate making espresso at home, and then I end up with a pile of extremely expensive equipment moldering on my counter?  

Has anyone been in this kind of situation?  How do you tell if taking the plunge is a good idea?

What I'd ideally do is take a class, in a nice third wave cafe somewhere where I can basically pay good baristas to watch me pull shots and tell me where I'm screwing up for a few hours---and then I could buy equipment with some confidence that I had some idea how to work it, or decide I hate it and skip it.  I'm in a very major city (Chicago), so you'd think such a thing would exist... but I can't find one. (Possibly because covid?) So I'm kind of at a loss... all suggestions appreciated!

Advice on taking the espresso plunge?

Forget the Add-ons for now..you don’t need to worry about mods till you’ve got your feet wet, and are comfortable with your daily process enough to know when something is off. My suggestion

I used to have a Mr. Coffee one that I bought for $250. It was okay, made pretty decent espresso, but I’m ready to move on to a nicer one. I am willing to make an investment, I just want to buy one that is very high quality, that I’ll have for a long time. Any suggestions appreciated!!!

What is the best espresso maker?

 The steam wand is better, the group head is more solid, the boiler is better... Everything

 This is when you can grind your espresso and get your portafilter loaded. When the light goes off, wait 30 seconds and then pull your shot. That's it! The results I get doing this are fabulous, for me, a non professional barista :) All in all, this is an awesome machine, and I am very happy that I got it.

 The first machine I ordered was the Gaggia Classic. It leaked from the first moment I got it. Amazon was AMAZING with customer service and returning it, but their Gaggias were recalled because mine was yet another complaint from an Amazon customer. So I had a decision to make

Great Machine!

 3. With 1 and 2 above in mind I would get a tamper that is concave, I.e. the middle protrude down more that the edges that way when you tamp you insure the poor design of the coffee cup ridge don't create a pocket that causes channeling 4, The water tray is shallow, it is so shallow it hardly holds anything

e. the middle protrude down more that the edges that way when you tamp you insure the poor design of the coffee cup ridge don't create a pocket that causes channeling 4, The water tray is shallow, it is so shallow it hardly holds anything. Be prepared to continually empty out the water.

 Look at what everyone likes about this machine, they are all true comments. But here is my list of gripes with this machine. The design needs to be revised in my opinion.  1

Its a well Built Machine, But....
