Review on Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso Machine by Breville - Piano Black by Tracey White

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Partly contradictory

The price is right for this entry-level machine. If you thought you could get an espresso out of an $80 machine at a coffee shop, look elsewhere. However, it will give you a decent latte for less than a third the price of a coffee shop. The machine is a bit unstable when brewing. A couple of times the machine didn't dispense the full amount. Easily solved, just manually hold down the brew button for a few seconds. Several times the spout dripped for a few seconds after I removed the cup. I've only had the car for about 3 weeks, I'll update a little later. All in all a decent car for the budget conscious (like me) who don't want to spend a lot of money on a car. 4 stars until update 12/30/18. I'm returning the car. I really wanted to like it and work on it. . First, the machine is prone to dripping and leaking. Worse, after the machine has worked flawlessly for the entire 2 weeks, the machine only pours out a small thimble-sized shot no matter which shot button you press. Pour a small amount and stop. Then you have to hold down the button and guess when to release it. Not good.
