Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine, Ruby Red Finish by Magimix

This Nespresso 11366 Essenza Mini Coffee Machine in Ruby Red is an absolute delight! Its sleek and compact design fits perfectly in my kitchen, adding a vibrant pop of colour. The machine heats up quickly and delivers rich, flavourful coffee with just the touch of a button (see the video). I love how easy it is to use and maintain, with a straightforward cleaning process. The espresso and lungo quality is exceptional, rivalling my favourite coffee shops. Overall, it's a fantastic investment for any coffee lover looking for convenience and quality in a stylish package. There's an infinite variety of nespresso compatible pods available in many shops and I often make matcha tea, too. I use it mulitiple times per day.

I’m impressed with this product. Being the cheaper one I was worried it wouldn’t be all that great, but I think the value for money is great. I got the red one, it’s nice and slim on the kitchen worktop, very smart. The water in the holder lasts for more coffees than I expected (I always have the larger espresso). There are two settings one for a large espress or a small one. Both sizes fit into a small coffee mug. My mum likes to add hot water to make it a longer drink (Americano). Comes with a good selection of starter capsules too. It is a little bit noisy when making a coffee, but it doesn’t last long as it’s very very quick- perfect for a quick one in the morning before work or in between socials at Xmas! Haha :)

I was looking for another Essenza model after my last one finally stopped working after a few years. This arrived on time - I think its originally from Europe as the main instructions were in German - though they were in English too. I was a little worried that it might have been re-conditioned (as others have mentioned) because the packaging had been opened and the free coffee capsules were pretty squashed. But it all appeared shiny brand new. Its so easy to use - just plug in, rinse through and go. I am familiar with the machine, so know that the coffee isn't piping hot. (Nor should it be!) Just a nice espresso with a lovely crema.

For anyone with small kitchen surface area, this coffee machine is ideal. It fits snuggly into gaps or at the end of a desk and has a wonderfully smooth design. However, with the design comes a smaller capsule bucket (needs emptying more often) and a smaller water holder. Whilst this isn't a particularly problem, it is of course worth pointing out. Overall it is wonderful and I use it several times a day. My only criticism is that the coffee doesn't come out hot (more like quite warm) compared to the larger models. If you perhaps wanted a hotter coffee you might want to add some recently boiled water or heat it up in a microwave.

After purchasing a Nespresso Essenza Mini (the grey one in the photo/video) earlier this year at the start of the lockdown, I was very impressed with the quality of the coffee I have been getting out of it and it’s become a brilliant addition to my kitchen. I decided that I’d get another Essenza mini to take on travels, and decided to get the other design, which is certainly a lot funkier than the other one. It’s more or less exactly the same machine, albeit a bit shorter: it doesn’t make a lot of noise, it makes a quality cup of Espresso or Lungo, and gives you full access to Nespresso’s wide range of coffee pods and excellent customer service. I’ve been very impressed since purchasing my first machine, but this time around, I was very impressed with the speedy delivery. For the price you pay here on Amazon, you really can’t go wrong with either of these Essenza Mini machines. They’re stylish, compact and allow you access to some brilliant coffee.
