NESPRESSO by KRUPS Essenza Mini XN110140 Coffee Machine - 0.6L, White

Product Information

If you put the capsules in a jar or a closed box, we cannot guarantee the shelf-life of your capsules within 4 weeks of opening the sachet. Compostable capsule: there is mould in the capsule bin. However, if you are living alone or bought the Essenza Mini just for individual use, the 20.3 oz water reservoir is enough for you. Brewing: Effortless and Efficient with the 19-bar Mechanism

We recommend using the paper capsules within 4 weeks after opening the sachet, keeping them in their sachet by closing it with a clip and storing the sachet in a dry, cool place, sheltered from light. Nespresso has also dramatically expanded its recycling program ( 2). So it is now easier than ever to recycle used Nespresso capsules at local facilities or by mail. Water Reservoir – 4/5 The Nespresso Creatista Plus is a luxurious alternative that includes a milk frother as well! So, not just espresso, but you can enjoy various other types of coffee as well with this machine. It offers several customizing features like managing your milk temperature, adjusting the coffee volume, and much more. The main catch is that this machine heats up in a second. FAQs What should I do if my Essenza Mini is not turning on? We advise you to enjoy your paper-based capsules within four weeks of opening the pouch for the best coffee experience. The shelf-life of an unopened sachet is six months. Compostable capsule: When brewing a coffee using the paper capsule, there are coffee grounds in the cup. You should know that like other espresso machines, the Essenza Mini will also require frequent cleaning and descaling from your side. It is important to clean the capsule container and drip tray every day. As for the water reservoir, try to thoroughly rinse it at least thrice a week. Thankfully, cleaning the Essenza Mini is effortless as all the parts can be removed easily.Moreover, the Essenza Mini does not come with any Americano preset button, However, you do get two programmable buttons – you can use these two brew buttons to make a perfect cup of Americano. 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? On rare occasions, the paper capsule may tear or the membrane detach while brewing coffee, which may cause coffee grounds to leak into your cup. 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). Compostable capsule: is there a difference in brewing coffee compared to the aluminum capsule? The thing I loved the most about the Essenza Mini is that it features a programmable energy-saving mode. This means that the machine will automatically turn off after nine minutes, just in case you forget to power it off. Do you know what the best part is? You can even extend the auto shut-off time to 30 minutes.

Both designs have a 20.3 oz water tank that is fairly small as compared to other models. So, you will have to fill it regularly if you are a hardcore coffee drinker. The rest of the functions are also the same – the only difference is the design variation to satisfy the artistic taste of every customer. Programmability: Effortless and Easy to Use The Nespresso Essenza Mini is best suited to someone looking for the tiniest possible espresso machine that still offers the convenience of pod-based brewing. If you only have 5 inches of counter space to spare, this machine will fit nicely and deliver you a reliably tasty morning cup. On the other hand, if you have a bit more room, larger options will deliver the same great-tasting coffee for less money. Although coffee grounds in your cup are harmless, this does not give the best coffee experience and we do not recommend drinking the cup of coffee. We recommend placing a container under the coffee outlet and press the Lungo button (no capsule) to rinse any coffee grounds from the inside of the brewing unit, then brew a new cup of coffee with a new capsule. Compostable capsule: can capsules older than four weeks (after opening a sachet) be used? In fact, an expresso can be distinguished by its rich aroma and the creamy foam on the surface of the cup.I was amazed at how effortless and smooth the brewing process was with the Essenza Mini coffee maker. All you have to do is insert a coffee capsule in the lever, close the container, and select your cup size i.e. 1.35 oz espresso or 3.70 oz lungo button. That’s all. The recipes are already pre-programmed and you won’t have to arrange for any more settings. Your coffee will immediately start brewing and dispense in your cup even before you know it. Not to forget, the 19-bar mechanism makes the brewing process more worthy! If priming is not possible after these manipulations, take the appliance to an authorized service center. Compostable capsule: there is some water leaking into the cup at the beginning of coffee brewing. Small size isn’t a priority: The compact design of the Essenza Mini distinguishes it from the rest of the Nespresso machines line-up. If you aren’t too pressed for space, the slightly larger Nespresso Pixie is less expensive, produces the same coffee, and is just as easy to use. The Essenza Mini has a 20.3 oz water reservoir, which is undoubtedly very small as compared to other models. So, you will have to refill the water tank frequently if you drink a lot of coffee, or if you live with people that drink a lot of coffee. Though single-serve espresso machines like Nespresso aren’t always known for their environmental benefits, the Essenza Mini has a few nice features in this regard. It only takes 25 seconds for it to heat to read-to-brew temperature, much faster than most espresso machines, and brewing coffee takes less than a minute. It automatically enters a low energy consumption eco mode after 3 minutes without activity and will power down after 9 minutes.

The Original Line espresso machines have the signature Nespresso mechanism that uses a 19-bar high-pressure pump to extract espresso shots from the capsule. The Nespresso Essenza Mini comes with a 1-year limited warranty. This warranty will cover the repairs and defects. Also, you may get a substitute machine while yours is at the repair shop. Should You Buy A Nespresso Essenza Mini? Are you looking for that classic Nespresso crema? You won’t be disappointed by the Essenza Mini. Despite its small size, this coffee maker produces rich, fully flavored shots of espresso that don’t skimp on the foamy crema.

Price-To-Performance Ratio

The presence of mould in the capsule bin does not affect the preparation of cups of coffee. Compostable capsule: do paper capsules contain gluten? As with any organic food matter, there is a risk of mould developing. How long this may take depends on the temperature and humidity levels of the environment in which the capsules are stored. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the capsules are safe to use beyond four weeks after opening the sachet. Compostable capsule: can we store the paper capsules in a jar or in a closed box?

If you’re a Nespresso enthusiast, you’ll know that they often contract other brands with more coffee machine expertise to produce their espresso machines. This great system benefits both the companies involved and the consumer. You make a lot of milky drinks: If lattes and cappuccinos like they have at your local coffee shop are more to your taste, you might prefer to buy an espresso machine with the capability to steam milk. While the Aeroccino milk frother is popular and easy to use, it doesn’t allow you to control the milk texture as a steam wand does. If you live in an area where the water is very hard, you may wish to descale more often. Does the water tank need to be cleaned? So what’s the bottom line? The Essenza Mini is a well-built, affordably-priced Nespresso coffee maker. If you’re looking for a simple espresso machine that won’t blow your budget, this model could be for you. With an automatic cleaning program, an impressively small footprint, and a choice of two brew sizes, the Essenza Mini has a lot to offer. Nespresso partners with two well-known companies to make the Essenza Mini: Australia’s Breville and Italy’s De’Longhi. The two versions are shaped somewhat differently but essentially the same in function. The interior technology is all Nespresso, so you can expect the same quality from each machine.The Essenza Mini weighs only 5.1 pounds and will beautifully fit in even the smallest of countertops. The machine has a plastic exterior body which may not be appealing for some; however, this fact can be overlooked considering the affordable price. Dit kan voorkomen bij het eerste gebruik, na het legen of na een lange periode van niet-gebruik. Zorg dat het waterreservoir voldoende gevuld en goed geplaatst is. Druk een aantal keer op de koffievolumeknop (bijv. de lungo- of espressoknop) totdat de koffie/het water eruit stroomt. Bij een ongebruikelijke koffiedoorstroming controleert u het volgende: For descaling, all you need to do is add some descaling liquid and water to the reservoir and press both of the brew buttons for 5 seconds. The machine will enter its auto-descaling mode for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, you have to run clear water in the tank to remove any residue of the descaling solution. 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.
