NespressoPixie Coffee Pod Machine by Krups, Compact Espresso Maker for Original Pods, 19-Bar High Pressure, Fast Heat-Up, Energy Saving, Auto Shut-Off, Recyclable Pods in Dark Green

I've been eyeing up espresso coffee machines for a while now, but wasn't sure whether to bite the bullet or not. Safe to say I'm glad I did - this Nespresso Pixie has really upped my coffee game!I love a morning coffee but didn't love the faff of making it. I've been using the Pixie for a week now and it's made my morning coffee routine SO simple! The machine is really simple to use, it heats up quickly, and within 2 minutes you have a gorgeous espresso ready-to-go. Not only is it simpler and less messy, but I’ve found the quality of the coffee to be a lot better than my old manual brewing ways. I feel like I’m getting a fancy coffee shop coffee every day, but without the price tag! I really am converted.The machine itself is compact and fits well in a small space. I like the dark green panelling on the sides which adds to the premium look of the machine whilst keeping it simple and sleek. The only thing I’d change about the design is having a removable drip tray instead of one that flips up - as someone who likes a big mug I’d prefer to just take the tray off completely. If you’re an espresso or small-coffee drinker though, you won’t notice this.The water tank is surprisingly big which is great as it means you’re not constantly re-filling it. I recommend using filtered water in there for the best coffee. I was a bit worried about how noisy it would be but it’s been completely fine. The first couple of seconds are a little louder, then it settles into a chilled hum. Cheers Nespresso for adding a little bit of luxury to my mornings, I couldn’t live without it now!

Pixie arrived in quite a substantial box, it gave the impression the unit would be quite big. Upon opening the box the Pixie was smaller than the box gives you for an impression, however it was incredibly well packaged to protect the unit from damage, it is the perfect size for any kitchen.The design of the Pixie is a classic, a lovely forest green panel on each side, I am a big fan of the colour now I have it.The pod mechanism and the cup shelf are metal, this gives the unit a feeling of being well built. The pod mechanism is smooth and is somewhat satisfying to use, and gives a gratifying clunk as it engages with the pod.Water reservoir is a respectable size, it can easily make 4 or 5 "lungo" or long coffees, I have found myself circulate towards the long coffees as part of breakfast. However the Pixie is also capable of making a very respectable espresso.The machine heats up quickly and before I know it I have coffee ready to go. When you are finished the pods drop into a internal container and the drip tray also runs off into its own container below the pods, the whole thing can be removed in one for cleaning with minimal mess.The Pixie is a joy to use, quick, simple, and easy.

First off, the design is sleek and modern, making it a stylish addition to any countertop. It doesn't take up too much space, which is a huge plus for those with limited space. The aluminum body not only looks great but also feels durable.The Pixie heats up fast—within 30 seconds. There are two programmable cup sizes available. Each cup turns out rich and flavorful, and the coffee quality is consistently impressive.Cleaning is a breeze as well. The detachable water tank and used capsule container make maintenance simple. I also love that the machine automatically shuts off after inactivity, which is a nice energy-saving feature.One thing to note is that it can be a bit loud but that’s expected when it comes to pressurising.I highly recommend this machine. It delivers a great coffee experience in a compact package!

Purchased as a replacement for my old Magimix machine that died on me. I was concerned it would not be up to the job but it is. It has taken me a week of using it everyday to get the perfect cup of coffee. I am not keen on the fact there isn't a separate on off button but again I have got used to it. The espresso button produces a very small amount of coffee, a lot less than previous machine. The large a lot more. You will have to practice to get it perfect for you. Good crema on the top every time. Doesn't leak any water anywhere ( seems to be standard in the old machines) Fits neatly on the kitchen top without taking up a stupid amount of space, looks ok. Cleaning seems fine. Pods don't get stuck very often. Warms up quickly, produces coffee quickly. Overall very happy with the purchase. I realise it isn't cheap but I feel it is worth the money if you are a coffee lover.

Alright, let's get real. The Nespresso Pixie Green is a nifty little machine, perfect for those of us who crave a decent espresso without the fuss. It's small, sleek, and doesn't take up much counter space - a major plus in my tiny London flat.What I Like: Speedy Brew: It's got a quick heat-up time, meaning I'm not waiting around for ages for my morning caffeine fix.Compact Design: Ideal for small kitchens or offices.Sleek Looks: The green finish is a nice touch, adding a bit of colour to my kitchen.What Could Be Better:Limited Water Tank: I often find myself refilling it, especially on busy mornings.Capsule Cost: Let's be honest, those Nespresso pods can add up.Overall:If you're a coffee lover who wants a simple, stylish machine that delivers a decent espresso, the Nespresso Pixie Green is worth considering. It's not going to blow your mind with barista-level coffee, but it's a reliable little machine that gets the job done.
