Nespresso Essenza Mini Review - The Coffee Maven Nespresso Essenza Mini Review - The Coffee Maven

Sure, you won’t be winning any barista competitions or killing it on the latte art scene anytime soon; but it’s a one stop shop for anyone who enjoys a good espresso. Where to buy?Just like all the rest of us Nespresso addicts, you’ll have to find a way to deal with the brand’s rigid way of doing things. By rigid, I mean your machine will not work with any other coffee except Nespresso capsules. Take out and reposition the tank every 3 seconds. There should be air bubbles escaping from the tank valve. Do not use your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it replaced by an approved repair centre. Various topics How does an espresso compare to filtered coffee? The Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine may be the smallest unit from Nespresso yet, but it confidently retains all the features and capabilities of some of the brand’s high end machines. All the way from the 19 bar pressure pump to peak energy savings, it’s clear that the reduction in size and price didn’t have any effect on the coffee quality and taste. By doing so, you pre-heat your coffee cup and you rinse the extraction system for better coffee experience.

In fact, an expresso can be distinguished by its rich aroma and the creamy foam on the surface of the cup. For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months. Tap water (normal household potable water) is perfectly OK as long as it is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled water is also OK. 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). Where can I dispose of my appliance at the end of its life span?

If you’re pressed for time (who isn’t these days!) you can rest-assured that at the time of writing, almost 3,000 people have reviewed the Essenza Mini coffee machine. That vast number of people give this machine a fantastic review score of 4.7 of 5 stars. To be noticed that water hardness is the first reason of machine calcification and so it is recommended to descale the machine frequently (every 3months or less according to water hardness). Maintenance and cleaning Why should I descale my coffee maker? If you’re looking to make endless coffees and prefer volume over specifically tailored individual drinks, this coffee machine, like most pod-machines, may not be for you. 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. Having considered purchasing a Nespresso machine for a while, particularly after realising how much I was spending on barista-crafted coffee whilst out and about, I decided to go with the smallest of Nespresso’s range: the Essenza Mini.
