I. Our Top 12 Choices
1. Inissia Espresso Maker
The Inissia is a compact version for coffee lovers who don't want to wait to have a cup of coffee.
It takes less than a minute for the machine to heat up water to the ideal temperature and prepare a delicious cup of espresso or lungo.
It has a high-pressure pump, which is easy to use and can deliver up to 19 bars of pressure, allowing you to make barista-quality coffee every time.
In addition, the water tank holds enough water to let you make up to 9 cups.
It can accommodate tall cups since the drip tray folds. The device also has an "energy saving" feature and has a class "A" energy efficiency rating.
Pros
- More affordable than other Nespresso models
- Easy to operate with two programmable buttons
- Pre-heating time is just 25 seconds
- Auto power-off closes the inactive machine after nine minutes
- Used capsule container for convenient storing of used pods
Cons
- The design does not guarantee the pod will be in the right position, and some of them are crushed.
2. Pixie Espresso Maker
The Pixie is the ideal choice for apartment dwellers who don't have a lot of extra space, since it has a small footprint. However, it still has the same great features as larger models, with programmable buttons, allowing you to customize the volume of coffee you make.
It also alerts you when the tank is empty using red backlights. In addition, the used capsule container can store up to 11 used pods. The Pixie’s basic features are the same as those of other entry-level Nespresso models.
You can make Espresso and Lungo using pre-set buttons that you can also customize to produce larger cups. The pump produces 19 bars of pressure so that you can make coffee comparable to those produced by professional baristas.
Originalline Nespresso Machine Editor's Choice
To save energy, the device automatically shuts off after nine minutes of inactivity. As with all Nespresso models, it comes with a sixteen-pod "welcome kit" so that you can try out some of the most popular individual aromas.
Pros
- The Pixie is just 4.3 inches wide.
- You can preheat water in just 30 seconds.
- You can easily make espresso and lungo with pre-set buttons without having to choose settings.
Cons
- It has a smaller water reservoir than other Nespresso models.

3. DeLonghi Essenza Mini Espresso Machine
If you’re looking to recreate coffee shop drinks at home without a hulking machine cluttering up your countertop, the enduringly popular Essenza Mini from industry legend DeLonghi takes some beating.

Available in 3 colorways, you can opt for a black-on-black or a splash of vibrant color with lime green and fire hydrant red accents.
As with all the best single serve machines, top-notch coffee is only the push of a button and 30 seconds away. This is the ideal piece of kit if you have a hectic lifestyle but you’re not prepared to compromise on the quality of the coffee in your cup.
