Does anyone have it? The Essenza Mini. It's relatively cheap, so I'm just wondering if it's worth it. Please tell me your thoughts!

P.S. If it's relevant at all, I'm in Europe. And looking at the cheapest one because... student life

I have one of these and I absolutely love it. It only takes 25 seconds to get warm and it makes great cofee. The only potential downside is size - the water reservoir and drawer for used pods are a little small (which actually might be a plus for people with a small kitchen - the footprint of this thing is tiny compared to other machines).

Alsl bear in kind that capsules can be a little expensive, but there are many companies making compatible capsules for less and you can even buy a reusable calsule.

@[email protected] I also have one and it's great. Lots of people here say Nespresso is the worst, but I've had far worse coffee from superautos that cost much more and aren't nearly as convenient. Try Nespresso coffee first and see if you like it. If you do, it's consistent, and you'll get the same thing every time, even with the smallest machine. If you don't, not none of the machines is going to make it any better.
