Nespresso C101 Essenza Automatic Espresso Maker

Nespresso has developed a unique extraction system specially adapted to capsules. It controls every vital setting when preparing a perfect espresso. Nespresso machines have been designed with renowned partners and designers, and bring out the taste and aromas of coffee by combining quality of design with ease of use. The Nespresso C101 Essenza Automatic Machine is part of our compact line, which features a modern, compact, and practical design. The machine deploys technology essential for preparing an outstanding espresso, and is exceptionally easy to use. Automatically control the amount of coffee in the cup. The high pressure pump extracts all the aromas and develops a smooth crema. The thermobloc heats water to between 187 degrees and 196 degrees during extraction and empties the remaining water after each use so that the water is fresh for each preparation. It uses a simple system which perforates the capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee. The functional handle system allows for easy coffee preparation. Automatic ejection of used capsule makes cleanup a snap. The water container is removable for easy filling.

Includes the Aeroccino Automatic Milk Frother. The Aeroccino is an automatic and simple way of creating a light, creamy milk froth. You just pour in cold or hot, fresh milk and press the button. The Aeroccino quietly and quickly produces milk froth, which you can enjoy in many different coffee recipes including lattes and cappuccinos.

Features
  • Thermoblock heating element
  • Easy insertion and ejection of capsules
  • Holds 12-14 used capsules
  • Removable water tank: 30 oz. capacity
  • Simple descaling mode
  • Lightweight, 6 pounds

I worked in an office that had one of these and I just loved the coffee it made. So, I bit the bullet after spending five years making French Pressed coffee and purchased one of these sweet little coffee/espresso makers for my home. I will still make the French Press every once in a while, but this is so great for every day that I don't miss the French Press at all.

To be helpful, the reasons I love this little machine are below:

1) The size is perfect for small counters. It takes up very little space and fits great in the corner where it's out of the way.

2) It comes assembled, so all you need to do is wash the water dispenser, run some plain water through the machine a couple of times and then add the coffee capsule

3) The milk frother is THE best thing ever! It's so simple to use. Add milk up to the minimum or maximum line, put on the lid and press the button and then let it do its thing. It makes the PERFECT milk for your espresso every single time!

4) Cleaning is a breeze - to dispose of the capsules, easily slide the front panel off the machine and remove them. They are aluminum so they can be recycled. Rinse the apparatus and then slide it back into place. It's so simple and takes no time at all. For the milk frother, just add a little drop of dish soap, clean with a soft brush, and rinse - don't immerse the container in water, just rinse it out, wipe it dry and put it back on its base - ready for the next use.

5) It makes a cup of espresso or coffee with steamed milk in under 4 minutes with virtually no mess.

6) The Nestle coffee pods are the best I have tasted and I've had plenty of them to compare to. Once you own your machine, you can go to Nestle's Nepresso website to order all of your pods. The pods cost between .20 and .60 each and they come in boxes of ten. I buy three or four different kinds - I prefer the ones with the highest intensity levels (7 or above) because I generally enjoy strong espresso. However, the natural flavors in this coffee, whether with hints of citrus, earth, rich cocoa, or spice, are all so subtle and incredibly sophisticated that any of their blends are lovely. I also appreciate their limited edition blends.

7) Regarding pricing of the pods - each sleeve of ten costs about $6.20 - I only use one pod a day for my first cup of coffee in the morning so I'm spending roughly 21.50 a month when including shipping fees and I am completely satisfied!

I hope this review has been helpful.

The coffee tastes really good. Don't let snobs and wannabes tell you that Nespresso is nowhere comparable to espresso brewed with a Rancilio or a Gaggia. Nespresso makes excellent espressos, and the capsule system is very convenient and clean. However, the Nespresso machines made by Nestle feel cheap. They are made of low-quality plastic all around. Nespresso could charge a bit more and offer the same Essenza models in metallic casing, instead of cheap plastic.

From Luxury to Necessity September 9, 2011

I bought the small machine with aerocino milk frother. I purchased the introductory coffee sampler via Nestle the same day. I received the coffee and machines on the same day, two days after ordering. What do I own a car for? I've had the machine for over a month, and it has replaced my coffee machine. I gave my old espresso machine away within a week. The espresso is incredibly good, and has a nice aromatic rich crema. I believe the machine puts out 19 bar of pressure. It can be calibrated to increase or decrease the volume of the shot or lungo (about 2.5 shots). Nespresso coffee does come with the machine. You get 16 coffee pods. I would highly recommend the introductory offer of 200 pods from Nespresso. You get a nice wooden box which holds about 40 pods with the "wheel" showing each coffee blend with its strength. You get a nice set of books describing the flavors of the blends and the regions they come from. The Lungo coffees have about 25% more grind. Of the decaf blends, I prefer the stronger. Indeed, I prefer the stronger Ristretto, Arpreggio and Roma blends. Of the regional blends, I find the stronger Indriya the more compelling.

The Aerocino frother is a beautifully made device. It has two "whips" for frothing. It is powered by an inductive coil, which the unit can be placed on. Thus, it can be removed as a pitcher. I find it froths best with any milk filled just above the level of the whip. The whips are held in place by magnetism, so you find no exposed moving parts within the device. It is teflon or non stick coated in the interior. One can whip and steam milk or whip cold milk. Holding the start button for a couple seconds changes the light color to green for cold milk. The thermostated heater is not engaged. The "cold frothing" whip can be used for hot milk, and it makes quite a stable micro foam. I find the blade for the hot frothing to be a bit weak for the job, and wish they would produce a blade or whip for an "in between" result.

My machine did drip. I called customer service, and was prompted to engage the machine in a pump priming sequence which forced hot water through the bottom of the machine rather than through the cannister holder. This seemed to increase the pressure at the diaphram, and reduced or eliminated the dripping. There is a one year warranty on the espresso unit, so if the problem persists, I'll swap one out.

There is NO WAY I would ever go without this machine or the Aerocino. The service behind the machine is excellent, and the coffee blends are superb. I can't get over the crema for the espresso shots. I find it hard to keep my habit below 3 shots a day. That is a real cost of $1.60 a day. I have read that the cost of a pound of coffee using this system is around $60 a pound. I find this cost to be worth it. I no longer brew a pot of coffee and waste beans doing so. I always have a consistent brew, and I find I don't crave another cup of coffee after having an espresso, cappuccino or latte.

Nespresso does recommend blends of their shots if you call the service number. Give them a try!

I would find myself buying 6 or 8 of their blends. I don't prefer the "weaker" more acidic blends, but I can appreciate their difference. Their patents are running out, and two competitors are beginning to introduce product in cups formulated for the nespresso machines. Nestle will push back, and I hope they'll push back with quality and service. That is what separates this machine and the brand from the bland and boring world of K-Cups.

I doubt anyone who buys this setup will be disappointed. It is amazing and gratifying.
