Customer Reviews

Can I give it six stars? PLEASE!
S. Kozlowski

Addendum, 2012: In order to remove the water tank effortlessly, you need to OPEN the lid of the water container. There are latches on the lid itself which engage when the lid is closed! If you open the lid, the tank comes off without any resistance. If you keep it closed and try to remove the tank, you will have to force it and and will break the plastic. II've been using my Pixie for a year multiple times a day and it still runs perfectly. I descale the unit every 4-5 months and I've never had any problems with leakage after it's been descaled. One year in and my Pixie is jsut as good as the day I bought it.I previously used a Tassimo system as my primary coffee maker but moved to a Nespresso Pixie when Starbucks dropped Tassimo. Since I've switched to the Pixie, I couldn't be happier and I've never had coffee this good at home.First of all, the Pixie is a very stylish machine and it seems extremely solid in construction. The Pixie is made of aluminum and heavy plastic and it feels very substantial to handle/use. Secondly, the machine has a surprisingly small footprint, which is very nice if space is at a premium. I've only had my Pixie for a month but I use it about three times a day and so far, nary a whiff of any reliability issues. No leaking or inconsistent coffee temperatures, as reported by one reviewer.The coffee produced by this machine is wondrous! No it doesn't produced shots which are equivalent to those coming out of an $8000.00 industrial espresso machine however, for a single shot pod system, the coffee the Nespresso Pixie makes is excellent. Consistently good aroma, body, taste and crema, commensurate with the stated characteristics listed in the Nesspresso classification for each type I've tried.Read more ›

Best all around unit
Ernest L. Johnson III

It's been about two months, I hate writing rewiews as soon as I get something. I want to give it some use before I write about it. We've used this unit at least 1-4 times a day. I particularly like the Lungo feature as I'm more of a volume drinker. Partner likes the espresso feature. Personally, I use the espresso cups for my Lungos and they're totally fine.Features I like:1. It's compact but not tiny. We've taken it on several trips so we don't have to drink hotel coffee. It packs well.2. Quick operation: I can turn it on and easily within a minute (and that's pushing it) it's ready to go.3. Automatic Shut off: After nine minutes the unit automatically shuts off. When you're rushing out the door for work, the last thing you want is "Did I turn it off". It's not going to burn the house down, but if you're energy conscience then knowing it's not just sitting there all day keeping the next cup of water warm, you'll like this feature.4. Location of On/Off swtich and espresso/lungo switches: Easily accessible on the top back of the machine so you don't have to worry if you need to place it next to a counter wall or something and block the on/off swtich on one side or the other.5. It does come with a selection of cups so you don't need to blindly order online right away* **.*Never order from an "ESPRESSO" Vendor from an online retailer, go directly to Nespresso. The cups are $0.57-$0.64/cup. I've seen vendors on Amazon selling them for $1/cup and shipping takes longer and costs more.**I highly recommend the "noob" box. It's the special 200 cup with a box and some additional material. I think you can only buy one per machine, but it will give you a good feel for what you like. Espresso is not all the same.P.S.Read more ›

easy, clean, fast perfect espresso
pliesenb

i like espresso shots. it's the only type of coffee i drink. if you are like me - single household, espresso drinker, never have milk in the house 'cause it'll spoil... you will be very happy with this machine.i used to have a $499 breville espresso machine. it looked like a tank, but has a flawed flaky pump design. when my third replacement breville gave up its ghost yet again, i got myself this nespresso pixie.i am so happy with it. this machine makes it so convenient to get a shot of perfect espresso as you get up in the morning. the workflow with the breville was - get espresso coffee, put it in the dispenser, clean up the espresso that spilled, press the coffee, pop it in, pour the shot, put the spent espresso in the trash or garden, clean the dispenser, clean the espresso coffee from sink. with the nespresso, it's pop in the capsule, pour the shot, enjoy.and the coffee is awesome - perfect layer of crema, perfect water to coffee concentration ratio. honestly, better coffee than i managed to make with the breville machine. and i'd like to challenge whoever claims they can "taste the difference" between this and a $3k machine to a blind test. :) the pump in this little thing is a champ. also - the comparison with Starbucks - if that's your standard for espresso excellence, i pity you. :) it is not because i hate big chains - starbucks is inconsistent in the quality of coffee roast as well as in that experience of the baristas. you'll get 3 average and 1 horrible espresso shot for every great one. my frame of reference for an espresso are small bars in Italy or Spain (the latter preferably a carajillo). yes i lived there. and yes real espresso shots are small. and strong. and the nespresso pixie delivers.Read more ›
