Review on Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso Machine by Breville - Piano Black by Erin Dudley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall a decent and basic espresso machine for budget conscious espresso lovers and beginners.

The work surface, price and reviews drew me to this mini espresso maker. The Breville kettle, which I have been using since 2009, also makes this brand trustworthy. The design is thoughtful and intuitive. I didn't read the manual until I figured it out. It contains a shot cup, a small cup and a regular cup (the cup holder is detachable). The capsule receiving compartment can be easily removed. The water tank is awkward to remove, which worries me about durability. The capsules that came with it were of good quality. I can run Lungo twice to get a short Amercano (or add extra boiling water to fill my 12-ounce hydroflask). I use an enameled Turkish coffee pot instead of a mug to just pour into a hydro flask.
