I've been wanting an espresso machine for years but could never justify the purchase. One, I had a Keurig machine so I couldn't justify another kitchen appliance sitting on the countertop. Two, espresso machines are normally bulky and expensive. Enters Nespresso Essenza mini- it really is mini!! The size is 1/3 of the regular sized Keurig machine. The frother is great and so easy to clean, it truly makes my morning cup seem so much more lux. My husband wasn't too thrilled when I replaced the other machine but has now converted. The capsules prices are comparable and there are a huge variety of flavors. Now when guests come over, they want to test our our nespresso machine.
