I first used this exact machine in a hotel. It worked perfectly and was delightfully better to have a real coffee drink. Returning home, I ordered one immediately. It arrived with the sample pack. Another plus! I set the machine up in about 5 minutes. Tasted one of the blends that was new to me. Delicious. As I host dinner parties, this machine will get a workout as I give my guests the option of a coffee choice from the varieties I keep in stock, most of which are fantastic. I also like the aluminum pod better than plastic. Goes in my recycling with the cans. This is a great value machine. Looking forward to using it every single day.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Espresso Monolith
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017
TL;DR:

Solid machine at a great price with a clean design. Counter footprint so small it’s hard to believe. Starts fast. Operation feels secure and reliable. (Hello solid steel lever!) Altogether great update to the already winning Nespresso formula.

Espresso quality: 4.5
Aesthetics: 5
Ease of use: 4 (see cons)
Durability: 5?
Value: 5+

PROS:

-1-- QUALITY
This machine kicks out high quality shots and long pulls that hardly anyone will have any complaint for at all. The taste depends only on the choice of pod, using pure water (see below), and keeping your machine clean (as in past Nespresso models). The only thing I'd knock it for would be that the crema isn't *quite* as good (robust and foamy) as you'd get on a full Italian machine. Short of dropping $12-25k+ (seriously) for one of those beasts, this is the best you'll get at home and it's ~95% of the way there. (Just my opinion, but as a former barista, I have used multiple such machines.)

-2-- DESIGN
The design is what sold me on this one in particular. Past Nespresso models have had a variety of attractive looks, but nothing beats Bauhaus minimalism in my book. Sadly the sides of the machine are glossy and show fingerprinting (see photo), but not too badly. The stark white Breville logo looks glaringly out of place on front an otherwise so beautiful machine. Wouldn't be a problem if they had simply used a dark grey instead of white and/or placed the logo on the back. Far from a deal breaker though.

-3-- SPEED
Starts up very quickly; <30s from cold to ready. Espresso pulls at a normal speed; up to a minute for long shots. See video.

-4-- +
No skill necessary! And faster! And easier! And no clean up! Minimal maintenance!

-5-- ++
The price is right! (Personally, paid $75 on Black Friday. Check camelcamelcamel.com for price history.)

CONS:

-1-- EASE OF USE
The only real con here is refilling the water tank. You can kind of lift the lid a bit but really you have to remove the tank to fill it easily. The tank is at the back so there's a reach around every time. Plus who knows how much abuse the little rubber gasket at the mount will take before failing? I'd feel better if it could be filled without removing and if the tank could swivel around like the old Nespresso U machines. Altogether not a big deal though.

FYI:

> Water tank comfortably holds one full standard (16.9oz/0.5L) water bottle worth of water. (Always use filtered or purified water in ANY espresso machine! Nespresso included.) See picture. I use bottled water (and recycle the bottles).
> The two buttons come preset at 1.35 and 3.72 ounces, but can be easily reprogrammed, like most Nespresso machines. You can also hold the button after pulling a shot to add water to taste.
> The machine has an auto-off eco feature that is on by default but can be disabled. Startup is so fast I didn't find that necessary. Leaving your machine on constantly can encourage the growth of bacteria (due to the heat), so it's a helpful feature. Plus good for the environment and your utility bill.
> Descaling your machine regularly can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the espresso. To reduce the frequency that's needed and to improve shots in the mean-time, always use filtered or purified water. This is true of any espresso machine. To descale you run liquid descaler from Nestle through the machine. You can get instructions and materials from the Nespresso website.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

The pods are recyclable using postage-paid bags you can get for free with any Nespresso order. Each bag holds about 70-100 pods.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't expecting to love it
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023
I am not a connoisseur of coffee. I was used to drip coffee with a Moccamaster by Technivorm; I quit grinding my own beans and used folgers from Costco instead, further reducing my coffee credibility. Then I got a keurig and loved a cup of flavored coffee (two shots worth). THEN I got this Breville Essenza Mini and it is unexpectedly one of the best things to enter my kitchen. I LOVE hearing it brew--there's a magic to the depth of the sound that it makes, I liken it to a throaty car engine--you know, the kind that bypasses your ears and goes straight to your bones? I adore it. Anyway, I love a tall drink with fake sweetener-the sweetness permeates the foam and is delicious to slurp. This machine is the best. I want to order another one as a means to demonstrate my appreciation for the product. Did I mention I ADORE it's tiny countertop footprint? It's perfect. It might leak a bit, but I don't care. It's so fun to have around.

5.0 out of 5 stars No regrets. Don’t let it’s small size fool you. Essenza Mini (Breville) vs. Innisia (DeLonghi)
Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2018
We decided to get an Essenza Mini (Breville) because of its sleek modern look. We saw it on our last visit to the Nespresso boutique and for the months following I had been thinking it’s super-compact size would fit us better. We had-had an Innisia (DeLonghi) for years, the vibration from it was loud enough to wake the whole home. Of course the noise is to be expected from an espresso machine, but over time our Innisia became too loud for the morning calm.

Black Friday sales galore and the Essenza Mini came home with us. At almost half the size of the Innisia, the platform at which your cup sits on is surprisingly tall enough to fit a standard size mug for your frothy latte. This can be done without having to lift or remove any parts from the machine like in the Innisia.

It is much quieter and vibrates less and much easier to keep clean. Our Innisia had many books and crannies that got funky over time unless you gave it a good brush. The mechanism for the pod has a nice machine gun “clunk” to it, however it is missing the nice “pop” sound the Innisia makes when it punctures the coffee pod right before extraction. The coffee pods seem less prone to getting stuck compared to the Innisia. Oftentimes we are fishing for pods that didn’t drop in properly or got stuck dropping out. This has yet to happen with the Essenza Mini

Créma is good, almost better than other machines I’ve used and as long as you’re using Nespresso branded coffee pods the taste is always as good to be expected.

Overall it’s compact, no-nonsense and quality crafted as you would expect from both Nespresso and Breville.
