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

Product Information

Unfortunately, if you want to opt for a refillable Nespresso pod, which is an excellent choice from an environmental standpoint, in that case, you’ll be confined to an even smaller capsule capacity of about 4.5 grams. This is due to the design of the coffee capsules, and Refillable capsules let you use your favorite pre-ground coffee rather than being confined to the Nespresso brand. 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?

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? Do you want the signature Nespresso cream in your espresso? Say no more. The Nespresso Essenza mini will give you the rich texture and deliciousness you want, despite its compact size. This taste is mainly because of the OriginalLine mechanism and the 19-bar pump that perfectly crushes the coffee capsules to produce rich and refreshing espresso shots. 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. The Nespresso Essenza Mini has a very minimalist and simple design, keeping in mind the price and compact size. It literally weighs 5 pounds and has a basic plastic exterior. I liked the lightweight part as some espresso machines can be too heavy to even slide around. Unlike other high-end brands, this plastic body may be a turn-off for some people. However, we should keep in mind that this is the most affordable espresso maker by Nespresso, so the plastic material is totally justified.With paper-based capsules, sometimes a few drops of water leak into the cup at the beginning of brewing.

Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. Leave it at a local civic waste collection point. I've just opened my new appliance and I think there is a part missing. What should I do? It is recommended to call the company if your Essenza Mini is not turning on. Don’t try to fix the problem yourself to avoid further damage. Can the Essenza Mini make lattes? Paper capsules do not interact with the machine in the same way as aluminum capsules. It takes slightly longer for the machine to pierce the paper capsule, and sometimes a very small amount of water may flow around the capsule and into the cup. A few water drops should not affect the taste or aroma of your coffee. What should I do if my appliance is not working? The presence of mould in the capsule bin does not affect the preparation of cups of coffee. Compostable capsule: do paper capsules contain gluten?We advise you to empty the capsule bin at least once a day. If there is mold inside the bin, wash it with warm water and soap. Tall coffees, like americano's, as well as short espressos can be brewed with the unit, but it is worth noting that there is no milk frother on the machine. Krups Nespresso models that do have a milk frother include the Krups Nespresso Pixie and the Krups Nespresso New CitiZ & Milk. You can expect to pay a little more for a model with this feature. Nespresso coffee capsules generally cost 0.30p - 0.45p a pop and are available in many different flavours and strengths. These range from espressos to lungos, intensos, decaffeinated coffee and flavoured coffees. Vanilla espresso anyone? Essenza Mini: Price UK 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? 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. Nespresso offers a one-year warranty on the Essenza Mini. The warranty covers repairs or replacements of defective machines, and you may be able to get a loaner machine while yours is being repaired.
