Automatic and programmable coffee quantity (Espresso and Lungo), includes the sample of the Grand Crus.
- 8 inches by 13-1/2 inches by 10 inches
- 1-liter (33-3/4-fluid-ounce) water tank
- 19 bars of pressure
- Folding drip tray for tall latte machiatto glasses
- Energy power save mode
This give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great - Consistent coffee drinks from a beautiful machine
I stressed about buying a "pod" machine for some time. I didn't like the feeling of being held to corporate pods and I resisted the "idiot-proof" nature of a machine like this, but I accepted the fact that I am not interested in coffee enough to master hard core barista techniques so I took the plunge with this machine.
It was a great decision. This machine is beautiful, functional, easy to use and makes fantastic espresso, cappuccino and latte drinks consistently and I highly recommend it. If you dont have access to a Nespresso Boutique for your pod purchases you can get very fast delivery from their online store with reasonable shipping (but I think it should be free).
I also debated a long time between this machine and the one with the attached milk frothing device. I decided to buy that separately because I didnt want the machine to take up too much counter space and the separate frother can be stored in the cupboard.
2. Broke down, bought one, seriously impressed. Why the (CENSORED) didn't I get this beauty before?
After traveling the course of Delonghi and Capresso manual and semi-automatic machines, I finally broke down. Spending 20 minutes to prepare a shot of espresso, including preparation and clean-up, and then having to drink it luke warm after the motions, was, to put it mildly, just not fun anymore.
Once you get off the high horse of "Oh, that cannot be espresso, only an X machine can make espresso, you need to suffer to make espresso", and you actually try Nespresso coffee, you are in for a treat. It's not bad. NOT BAD AT ALL.
I'm a hardcore coffee guy. My favorite espresso will always be the one that a professional makes for me, or one that I make for somebody else. I cannot enjoy something I make for myself. So my choice was either one of those $1,000+ super automatic machines, with all its glorious, unending, thankless maintenance chores, or one of those "capsule" monsters. Well, HELLO FRANKENSTEIN. Yes, yes, you are ALIVE!
The CitiZ could not...
Need more appointment... ?
Problem after just two years. Don't Buy!
Had problem with my Nespresso Citiz after just two years of light use. Clear water coming out as capsule did not puncture. This seems to be a common problem. Just got off the phone with Nespresso 'CS Manager'. THEY REFUSED TO FIX MACHINE. Wanted to charge $125, then lowered to $99. Obviously they DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. This machine is only 2 years old and was well cared for. Offered to sell me a new one! Told them I am moving to the Starbucks machine, as Nespresso obviously doesn't stand behind their products. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Will never buy, again!
