Essenza Mini Original Espresso Machine by Breville,20.3 oz, Pure White

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely love this machine! It is small and takes up minimal counter space. Looks sleek. Easy to use. Removable tray if you want to just use a mug instead of an espresso cup. Two size options - depending on your pods you can get ristretto, espresso or lungo. Love the storage for pods. Unlike a keurig that you take the cup out each time, the pod is automatically dispensed into a holder below. Nespresso also has a recycling program - if you order coffee from them you can add a free recycling bag to your order. Just fill it up and drop off at a ups.

Great little machine, works without issues since 2019, very well made. On the bottom it says that it was made in Ukraine, that's probably why it just keeps working, unlike cheap Chinese made junk.

Breville-Nespresso USA BEC220WHT1AUC1 Essenza Mini Espresso MachineThis is a VERY compact but efficient machine. A friend introduced me to Nespresso but he is using a large Breville machine that does everything. We both looked at Nespresso machine reviews and ended up with two Breville choices; this small one and his larger machine. Well I don't need the frothing for Cappuccino, etc. This baby makes great Nespresso coffees, is small, is easy to use and is easy to keep clean. Anywhere you need to use minimal counter space (home, trailer, cabin, etc.) this is the unit to get.I have been using this machine for several months now and I would recommend it to everyone if you want a simple small Nespresso coffee maker. I have had zero problems.

This machine is good for its price, and can make a decent espresso. Though it doesn't give you a gourmet level of taste and crema thickness, it works fine as a complimentary tool and just more than good for an average drinker that is not a huge coffee expert.For its price it gives you a small size and an ease to make a coffee with a variety of nespresso capsules. It has some small flaws - like it is not punching through capsules sometimes and you have to repeat, or it requires to tap the button twice (and wait between taps to let it to warm up).

I read on The Wirecutter that this is the best Nespresso to get unless you really really want some specific special features. Two months into owning this little machine, I have no complaints! It really is tiny (like a third the size of my Keurig) and incredibly easy to use. I always make lungos (because for my super-size American mindset, a ristretto is just absurdly tiny), and they are delicious, noticeably better-tasting than the coffee my Keurig makes. Highly recommend this machine.

I had a20-year old Nespresso machine I used nearly every day. Simple, easy to use\clean. Electrics began to fail-mind you, after 20 years of loyal service. Ordered this thing based on reviews. BIG mistake. Difficult-to-open packaging should have been my first clue of the disaster ahead. Too many parts and pieces. Burned my fingers on first try. Hot water leaks and spewage, plus space for cup only allows for a demi-tasse. What a pain. Will return this mess. Ordered the Meuller model. See if they can do better.

This is the perfect desktop Nespresso maker. I've used a Pixie in the past and virtually everything about the Essenza seems better. The compressor is quieter and the touch points have a more pleasing feel to them. It is smaller than something like a Pixie, so you will be refilling water and emptying pods more often. But really its perfect for the desk and I'm glad I went with Breville.

I wanted a machine with a small footprint that would give me and wife a couple of espresso shots in the evening. This machine is perfect. Easy to use, makes a nice espresso shot, and was relatively inexpensive. If you are looking for a machine to make big mugs of coffee, look elsewhere. But for just a couple of shots now and then, tis machine is perfect. The lungo button ideally fills my little cups (see photo)..
