CitiZ Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi with Milk Frother, Black, 9.3 x 14.6 x 10.9 inches

I am fussy about my coffee and this machine surprised me by the quality of the product produced. The machine is a bit loud but easy to use and fast! Solid machine feels very sturdy and worth the rather substantial price. The most important thing is that the espresso is actually quite good. (I bought Nespresso-style pods from Peet's.) I have had much inferior espresso in fancy shops. The Aeroccino frother works very fast, producing either hot or cold froth and produces a good foam from whole milk for lattes, and is even better if you add a tablespoon or two of cream to the whole milk. Everything is the way it should be. The frother is almost silent, but the espresso machine is surprisingly loud, although acceptable, once you know what to expect. The machine is easy to clean, which is an important consideration for a machine I plan to use "on the road." I purchased this machine for an upcoming business trip where the schedule will not allow a good morning coffee for days at a time. Most hotels have in room coffee machines that are not good. This was a crisis! But I have now made 5 excellent test espresso drinks with the machine and it works very well--crisis averted! This is not a cheap machine, but when I get back, it will be used for entertaining friends.

This Nespresso coffee machine is a game changer! You can make quality coffee so fast and easy and the taste is on point. I saw my friends and she had a newer version with the larger pods but after doing some research I decided on going with this machine because the long term expense would be less because the original pods are much cheaper than the newer version ones are (the cost will definitely add up if you drink coffee regularly. Nespresso has a patent on the newer version so you can’t buy third party pods where you can with the original machines. You can also purchase tea pods to brew and also some metal cups with disposable sticky lid toppers so you can add your own ground coffee or tea leaves. The milk frother is fast and makes a great froth but hot and cold quick. This is definitely a luxury product. What I think could be better with this machine is that the temperature of the coffee it makes could be hotter.

My last Jura automatic espresso machine just broke and I decided to try this De'Longhi Nespresso machine which was cheaper than repair to the Jura. What I like is that it takes up a small footprint, makes more coffee per water tank than my Jura, heats quickly and is much easier, faster and cleaner than the Jura. I like the original Nespresso capsules in that it's easier to find pods. I found Peet's at my local grocery store for 49 cents per pod which is a great price. Online, I can find Starbucks, Peets and Nespresso for about 70 cents per pod. I didn't realize that the frother base is attached to the Nespresso machine, but the footprint is still small. Frother works really well and it is very quiet. I start my frother and start the espresso and they are done in about the same amount of time. Clean up is really easy. It does drip a bit after brewing, so I keep an old mug on the drip tray. The pods leave no mess and the used pod container is really easy to clean. You do need to make sure the container is emptied. My kids made some coffee and left it full and I had to dig out the last pod from the top to pull out the pod container to empty it. I liked the taste of my Jura a little better, but the difference is pretty small and I'll take the Nespresso for ease of use, easy clean up and a quick brew.

I've been using the Nespresso Citiz & Milk for a few weeks, and it has been an absolute game-changer. The sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen, and the convenience it offers is unmatched. The quality of the espresso it brews is consistently impressive, delivering rich and flavorful cups every time. Investing in the Nespresso Citiz has truly elevated my coffee experience. Its intuitive operation, quick brewing time, and variety of original style capsules make it an indispensable part of my day. The compact size doesn't compromise its performance, and the ease of maintenance is an added bonus. Although I wish the aeroccino was dishwasher friendly like the very latest model (4). If you're a coffee enthusiast looking for convenience without compromising on taste, the Nespresso Citiz is the way to go. It's a fantastic investment that I highly recommend.

I love my Nespresso CitiZ. There are very few coffee shops in my area that make cappuccino just the way I like it, and none close to my home or work. So a good cup of cappuccino used to be a rare treat, but now I enjoy it most days. And with Nespresso it's foolproof - you get a perfect cup of expresso or cappuccino in no time, with very little effort and no guesswork. My favorite feature of the classic line is that you can adjust the size of your beverage exactly to your liking. Yes, I know, there are prescribed sizes of all espresso beverages, and the machine is set to that default, but you can change it any time to your taste - and I like being in control, so I like that. You can also use compatible capsules with the classic line, but so far I've stuck with Nespresso coffee. I also love the aeroccino. Making frothed milk is a tricky and messy business, but not with aeroccino. You pour in milk and press the button - and voila, perfect froth every time. If I had to find one negative of the CitiZ model, it would be that there is no low water level indicator, so if your water tank has only a few drops of water remaining, that's all that will come out into your cup. It hasn't been a problem for me though. The CitiZ model is ideal for a single person, and particularly someone with limited counter space, but I wouldn't recommend it for families or someone who entertains frequently. The water tank is rather small, so you'd have to refill it several times to serve a group of people. The aeroccino makes enough frothed milk for about 2 cappuccinos, so you would have to run it repeatedly as well - although it only takes one minute to complete the job. For me, though, it's a match made in heaven.
