Pods on two separate units would not line up. Poor quality !!!' My previous Nespresso worked for twenty years. Now I’m searching elsewhere for a machine. Michael

The capsule receptacle is a bit smaller than Citiz, as is the water reservoir. Otherwise, works just like, and as well as, the Citiz. If you're just making a few espressos at a time, it's perfect. If you want to make a lot without refilling water or emptying capsules, go for something bigger. (Watched a youtube demo/evaluation for the three nespressos. Great place to help decide.)

Love this small, portable machine. I can take this anywhere that there is electricity and it fits in small spaces but makes as good of nespresso as the bigger original machines. Will never go back to a Keurig! good for iced coffees also. I had a Pixie and could not find it but the Essenza mini is the same as the Pixie. Hard to find black but I love my red one.

Not happy with it since you get very little foam on top and coffee seems more watered down and not at all strong. I had the Nespresso Pixie before and loved it so that is the size that I really wanted and it was not in stock and they are not making it anymore.......I wish I could upgrade to the next size up and I think it is very similar in size to the Pixie but it is called INISSIA... am I correct? I am so sad since I purchased over $100. worth of capsules but what a waste. Maybe that one gives a stronger better expresso with the foam as advertised...I think the photos on their brochure are retouched and send a false statement about the coffee you truly get. Too bad.

Works perfectly out of the box....just add water and insert capsule....FANTASTIC!
