Review on Delonghi Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee and Espresso Machine, Black – Enhanced SEO by Cre Soto

For years I confused Nespresso with Nescafe. I thought it would be a good instant coffee. Then, on Thanksgiving, I got my first taste of the Nespresso coffee machine. I love it! It's very easy to use and I think it makes the most delicious espresso and coffee I've ever had. It really surprised me. I bought this Essenza because of the smaller footprint. It fits very well in my kitchen worktop. It gets the job done and not only makes espresso (about 1.4 ounces) but what they call Espresso Lungo, which is about 4 ounces. The method is tastier, much faster, super convenient and I like the sound the machine makes more. About Pods: This machine is referred to as the "Old Line" machine. The machines of the new line use capsules with a different shape. Pods are not cross compatible. The new line's capsules are more expensive because fewer companies are producing and selling them. Whatever type you buy, there are espresso pods and also lungo pods. Lungo capsules are more like coffee in strength. A neat trick I've mastered is to press the espresso button to brew espresso, and then when you're done pressing the lungo button as well to add another 4 ounces of hot water through the pod. This is how Americano (espresso diluted with water) is prepared. It has way more flavor than most cups of brewed coffee. Lungo is a different capsule.
