Review on ☕ Nespresso Citiz Coffee and Espresso Machine with Aeroccino by DeLonghi, Black - Improve SEO by Nicholas Dobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

CITIZ Nespresso by DēLonghi makes a wonderfully creamy espresso!

I bought a CITIZ DēLonghi Nespresso coffee machine. I did a lot of research before deciding to buy DēLonghi or Breville. All the positive reviews tended to go to DēLonghi, and DēLonghi makes the machine longer, so... I chose the CITIZ machine because it uses OriginalLine pads and it's a bit cheaper than the VertuøLine. (all are recyclable). Nespresso can order a free prepaid plastic bag for returning aluminum containers to the recycling facility. There is a video on the Nespresso website that explains the recycling process. I wouldn't buy a Keurig coffee maker because their pods are plastic and not recyclable. I'm so happy because the creamy lather that CITIZ makes is amazing. CITIZ makes great espresso with a rich, frothy crema that lasts the whole latte. I could have bought a milk steamer from CITIZ but decided against it and now regret not having bought one because I make lattes and steamed almond milk would be really nice. Spring. CITIZ has a small capsule collection bin that allows you to simply toss the capsules into a plastic bag for disposal. Luckily, the container that collects the pods has about 1/2 inch at the bottom to catch the coffee that drips out of the machine. I would not allow more than 6 pods to be collected as the container could overflow. There have been reviews of this machine being quite noisy, but it's no louder than my previous Senseo espresso machine. In my opinion it's not that loud. Water heats up in about 20-25 seconds. I had a cup under the spout when I pushed the button to turn the machine on like one day in the middle of heating the water it would start making espresso! I don't know what happened but it hasn't happened since but I always have a cup under the spout before turning it on. a bit smaller and the coffee was worse compared to the Nespresso coffee. I think it's worth pennies more for Nespresso capsules. I like smoother espresso and have found Pure Origin Rosabaya de Columbia to be my favorite, and Caramelito, a caramel-flavored coffee, which is very good. There are also decaffeinated espresso capsules. I love this machine and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
