Specifications

Same summary

The Krups Nespresso Essenza Mini XN1108 capsule machine takes up very little space and is suitable for smaller kitchens, student apartments or weekend homes due to its compact design. The capsule system allows for quick and easy preparation of one cup of coffee, which is appreciated by users who want coffee without complicated settings and cleaning. Due to the smaller water tank and the limitation to Nespresso capsules, the machine is less suitable for households where more coffee is prepared daily, or for users who expect a very low cost per cup in the long term. Ease of use is also an advantage, but it should be noted that more advanced drinks (e.g. with milk frothing) are not supported here.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is the Essenza Mini compatible with all Nespresso capsules?

The machine is designed to be used with original Nespresso capsules and most compatible capsules from other manufacturers, but we recommend using proven capsules for optimal taste and performance.

What is the capacity of the water tank and how many cups can I make?

The water tank has a capacity of up to 0.6 liters, which is usually enough for several espressos or 3-5 lungos, but regular refilling is recommended for frequent use.

Does the appliance need to be cleaned frequently and how is maintenance carried out?

Maintenance is easy as the machine has a removable tank and drip tray. It is recommended to rinse the machine after making a few coffees and to periodically perform a descaling procedure depending on the hardness of the water.

For whom does a capsule machine make the most sense in terms of costs and habits?

A capsule machine like the Essenza Mini is best suited for those who drink smaller amounts of coffee daily and value speed and ease of maintenance. If you drink more coffee or are interested in other options, our guide to cheap coffee machines can help.

Can the machine also prepare milk drinks such as cappuccino or latte?

The machine itself does not have a milk frothing function, so preparing a cappuccino or latte is only possible using an additional milk frother.
