The art of espresso by Nespresso
The art of espresso
More than 20 years ago, Nespresso developed and patented an exclusive system for mastering the preparation of the perfect espresso, from the selection of the finest green coffee beans through to the moment of tasting. The perfect espresso is a complex alchemy between coffee of exceptional quality and freshness, and water at high pressure. It is these elements which give the coffee body and intensity, and reveal all the subtleties of the aroma. Coffee, machine and the club are the inseparable components of the exclusive Nespresso experience, which allows you to prepare a perfect espresso, cup after cup, time after time, in the comfort of your own home.
The machine The Nespresso Citiz machine
All Nespresso machines are equipped with a patented extraction system that guarantees up to 19 bar pressure.
Each element - water pressure, temperature and extraction duration - has been calculated with great precision. This ensures the aromas from each Grand Cru coffee are expressed, giving the coffee body and creating an exceptionally thick and smooth crema.

The Krups Citiz Fire Engine Red allows automatic and programmable water sizing for espresso and long black and has an energy saving mode. It features auto eject and a capsule container for up to 12 capsules, while its stylish red design will complement any kitchen.

The coffee
The hermetically-sealed aluminium capsules provide the optimum conditions to preserve and prevent oxidation of the 900 extremely volatile and sensitive aromas found in freshly-ground coffee. Simple in appearance, the capsule is the subject of continual technical improvement to optimise the machine’s extraction of the coffee.

Nespresso offers 16 Grand Cru coffee varieties, some of the finest in the world. Products of Nespresso Coffee Experts’ experience and inspiration, they come from diverse origins and offer a variety of aromas.

To achieve the perfect espresso, Nespresso Coffee Experts travel the world searching for only the finest green coffee beans, which offer the most exciting aromatic profiles. Nespresso then creates a blend from each of the varieties of beans, and develops a specific roasting and grinding profile.
The club
There are 16 Grand Cru coffees available
When you buy a Nespre sso machine, you become a member of the exclusive Nespresso Club for connoisseurs, where you order your Grand Cru capsules. The club offers you numerous privileges, including personalised contacts with Nespresso and its Coffee Specialists, who understand and appreciate the secrets of coffee.

The club combines exclusive benefits and the expert knowledge and advice of the Specialists with practical services to assist you.

Whether you contact the Coffee Specialists by phone, or in one of Nespresso's boutiques, they can answer all of your questions.

The Assistance Service is exclusive to the Nespresso Club.

Each machine is covered by a three-year manufacturer’s warranty. if your machine requires repair during the period of its guarantee, Nespresso will provide you with a loan machine, subject to availability.

The Nespresso commitment to sustainability
Nespresso has a recycling initiative for its capsules as part of a program called Ecolaboration™. The Nespresso Ecolaboration™ program sets out the company's commitment to sustainable development and enables it to make improvements and create initiatives across all its activities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick, easy, high-quality espresso 26 May 2010
By edoze
Colour Name:Fire Engine Red
This is my first Nespresso machine, after being a Gaggia user for several years. It blows my previous machine away in terms of size (very neat footprint), convenience (the main reason for me changing), and most importantly, quality of coffee.

From a convenience point of view, it's a quick to make coffee as instant and there's virtually no maintenance apart from flushing once with water (i.e. you press a button) when you're done. The speed of the whole process, together with no need for washing up makes it possible for me to actually have a coffee made and drunk in the morning while feeding a 1 year old.

The quality of the coffee has surpassed my expectations, and I'm pretty picky. The variety of coffees available from Nespresso means you can find several you like (my wife and I each have our favourites, and can have our own choice every time) to match your mood.

It looks great too.

I didn't bother with the version with the milk frother, as I've found a manual Bodum frother works better, costs less than a tenner, and takes less space in the kitchen too.

The only drawback is the need to buy relatively expensive capsules from Nespresso (a touch over 30p a pop after postage), and wait for them to be delivered. Also, if you like a latte, you might need two shots in there, as one is a bit puny for me. They are very professional and quick though, and the convenience more than offsets the price for me.

All in all, I'm so delighted with this machine I've just ordered a second Nespresso machine for work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coffee machine! 25 April 2011
By Gazmos
Colour Name:Fire Engine Red|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was thinking of upgrading my Gaggia Cubika with another Gaggia Classic and changed my mind to get a Nespresso after I tasted the quality of the coffee.

The Nespresso machine has the advantage of:
- being small doesn't take up much space in the kitchen
- quick to heat up
- high quality coffee every time
- Nespresso supplies are delivered fast and well packed
- anyone can use it and you don't have to be an expert
- no messy coffee grounds
- quality made, solid

The only things to be aware of are:
- you are tied in to the Nespresso capsule system at 28p per cup
- you need to plan ahead before you run out of coffee
- ummm, that's all I can think of

Buy with confidence if you want great tasting coffee every time at reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wake up and smell the coffee 2 July 2011
Colour Name:Fire Engine Red
I've thought long and hard about buying one of these machines and almost been put off by the lack of coffee capsule pricing information readily available prior to becoming a Nespresso club member. I decided to take the plunge and am really glad that I did - this particular model was chosen as I like a long coffee and some of the smaller, cheaper Nespresso machines won't accomodate a normal size mug. All I have to do here is flip up the platform and my jumbo mug fits just fine. The variety of coffee blends is pretty good and when you purchase a new machine and register it, you can buy a mixed box (which comes complete with a Discovery Box to store two of each flavour in). The prices from Nespresso direct are reasonable for coffee of this quality, but it's never going to be as cheap as drinking instant coffee. You're looking at about 30p per cup (a little more with p&p added in), but my advice is not to bother to buy capsules off eBay as they are considerably more expensive this way. Just buy direct - the service is excellent and it's cheaper. If you can afford one of these machines, you're probably the kind of person that doesn't baulk at paying £2+ for a coffee in Costa and therefore 30p a cup in the grand scheme of things is very reasonable!

The machine itself is quite long and thin, but not overly cumbersome. The water temperature is ready in seconds. I follow their advice and warm the cup by running water through first as I like my coffee steaming hot. Whilst it has automatic dispensing for espresso and larger cups, you can set this to your own levels according to the size of cup you use. I preferred the handle on this to the bar on the Pixie to open/close the capsule chute as the handle feels more solid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nespresso CitiZ 19 Aug 2011
By wartime
Colour Name:Fire Engine Red
Great compact machine and an extremely good way to enjoy a cup of coffee, using the Nespresso capsules. Being a coffee connoisseur one might be forgiven for thinking that this is a compromise for grinding coffee beans and producing a refreshing cup in a cafetiere. Well, I still enjoy the latter but some of the Nespresso modules produce an exquisite cup of coffee and you'd be hard pushed to spot the difference. So 5 stars to this product and I would heartily recommend it.

=============
EDIT 1/2/2013. Just to say my Mum's new Citiz is going very well. It was used alot over Xmas.

2 more pieces of information:
(1) Is machine noisey? - I have a Citiz too and I never noticed this before. Maybe as I have the TV on in the background. I wonder are all Nespresso machines like this? The only difference would be that my Mum's Citiz is a newer model than mine, for e.g. I have an on/off switch - whereas on my Mum's machine to turn on/off you press the 'Expresso/Lungo buttons together'. (My Mum seems to think that if she put something like a 'table mat' under the machine that this might reduce the vibration off the worktop counter in the kitchen.)

(2) Different on/off button + timer - As mentioned, the newer Citiz model has a different on/off button: you have to press 'Expresso/Lungo buttons together'. Also one can setup a timer using these buttons such that if the machine hasn't been used it will automatically switch off, say after after 30 minutes. This is a nice feature. On my Nespresso I sometimes forget and the odd time I have left it on all night by mistake.

Overall the Citiz is a still a good, solid machine.
=============

I purchased this particular Citiz (Titanium) for my Mother's 80th birthday next month. I also have a Citiz(red) which I have been using for over 1 year. (I got my Citiz as a birthday present last year and it was purchased locally.)

When looking for a new Nespresso I compared online the Citiz v Pixie v 'U'.

'U'
===
Initially I placed an order for the 'U' with Amazon. They had a sale on the 'Pure Cream' coloured one so that is why I plunged for it. It was mainly a cost decision. The 'U' looks similar to the Citiz and has some nice new features.
