Nespresso Essenza XN110840 Mini Coffee Machine by Krups, Piano Black

Product Information

Before we tell you the dimensions, just know that the Essenza Mini is narrower than your credit card! If priming is not possible after these manipulations, take the appliance to an authorized service center. Not a problem, and obviously doesn’t effect the quality of coffee you get, but just something worth baring in mind. We’ve reviewed quite a few coffee makers, and while pod coffee machines are easily the smallest footprint, the Essenza Mini is tiny! The smallest and most basic Nespresso machine available, the Essenza Mini pulls the same high-quality shot as the other OriginalLine models in a much smaller package.

Nespresso 11366 Essenza Mini Coffee Machine, Ruby Red Finish

It doesn’t take a rocket system to realise what the main unique-selling-point for the KRUPs Essenza is … space saving! For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months. This machine is compatible with Nespresso’s range of Original Line capsules, of which there is a great selection and variety of flavours from around the world.

If it still does not work, do not try to dismantle or repair the appliance yourself, instead, take it to an approved repair centre What should I do if the power cord of my appliance is damaged? Of course, it is a bit smaller than other models so you might work up a sweat if you’ve got many guests coming. It looks almost comical when reviewed next to bigger coffee makers (I’m looking at examples like you Morphy Richards 162008). If you want to tailor your drinks with a higher temperature or shorter volume of water, then I’d recommend taking a look at the Tassimo Bosch My Way 2 that we recently reviewed. If you’re still reading though, you probably realise from this review, that the Essenza Mini XN110B40 may be the perfect coffee machine for you.

As mentioned already, the unique selling point of the Krups XN110B40 has to be the compact footprint.

The new Essenza Mini combines ease of use, minimalist beauty and unrivalled Nespresso quality to create the perfect coffee cup every time. If your machine is near a sink however, neither of these points should cause you much heartache though. For cold beverages, use water at ambient temperature, never refrigerated water, and place two or more ice cubes (20g per ice cube) in the cup. I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. litre water capacity, the machine’s only good for about two or three lungos before it needs a refill.

Secondly, the pod hopper holds 4 or 5 used pods, which is a noticeable reduction on previous Nespresso pod machines. The mini incorporates an eco-mode for lower energy consumption in case you’ll be running her for extended periods of time as well as an automatic energy saving function. lbs it’s one-third or one-half the weight of many other OriginalLine models, and it has a minuscule 3.

Again though, if you wanted those features you’d have to sacrifice size as more components are crammed inside the Krups box. 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). My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. A lightning-quick 25-second heat-up and automatic energy-saving features come together to complete the perfect espresso capsule coffee machine package.Having long been a fan of the traditional French press style of coffee, I can safely say that the Essenza Mini delivers a vastly different cup of coffee that’s perfect on its own or as a base for milk-based drinks. Nespresso is the industry-leader in specialty coffee convenience, and their Aeroccino4 Milk Frother is no exception.
