Everything you need to know about the Nespresso Essenza Mini espresso machine is here. This comprehensive review includes videos, photos, pros, cons, and much more!
Summary
The brand: Nespresso
The model: Essenza Min C30 / Essenza Min C30 (depending on the color & shape you will choose – the one I used in this video is called “Ruby Red”)
The pros
Compact measurements – the main justification for the existence of the Essenza Mini is that Nespresso will have a compact espresso machine, a la iPod mini. I can say that Nespresso did marvelous work in this specific aspect.
Built quality – though this machine is smaller than other espresso machines, it’s made from the same materials and gives the same sturdy feeling.
Price – Not sure why, but I was afraid that due to the compact measurements and hype around this machine, Nespresso would try to label the Essenza Mini as “less is more” and charge an extra payment for it. I was glad to learn that this isn’t the case, as this is currently one of the most affordable Nespresso machines.
Nespresso coffee standards – Like the rest of Nespresso coffee machines, the Essenza Mini manages to keep what I would describe as the “Nespresso Experience”, which includes the trendiness and coffee quality.
The cons
Maintenance – Due to its measurements, you will have to fill the water and empty the capsule container more often.
Using tall glasses – Even when I remove the drip tray, you will struggle to place tall glasses beneath the coffee outlet (you can sort it by placing the machine on a higher surface).

A: You can get this machine in different shapes and colors, but they are identical in every aspect.
The only thing that I can think of, is that the rectangle version of this machine might hold 1-2 more capsules due to its more practical shape, but once again – it depends on how the capsules fall into the container and
