Nespresso C100/T1 Essenza Automatic Machine, Titan Gray
Nespresso C100/T1 Essenza Automatic Machine, Titan Gray Hey Guys. Stop here and do not look any further. This is the ultimate machine to have a nice shot of espresso. Nespresso have by now 16 different capsules. Some strong like Rostretto and some mild like Coci. So compact and easy to use and easy to clean. The crema is fantastic. You can buy Aerolatte if you like Cappuccino. Avoid any other frothing machines as the Aerolatte is better and cheaper. The Francis X8 costs twice the price unless you get it on promo from Illy. I like the C100 much better, besides the Nespresso capsules are cheaper than Illy. Nespresso: C100/T1 Nespresso has developed a unique extraction system specially adapted to capsules. It controls every vital setting when preparing a perfect espresso. Nespresso machines have been designed with renowned partners and designers, and bring out the taste and aromas of coffee by combining quality of design with ease of use. The Nespresso C100 Essenza Automatic Machine is part of our compact line, which features a modern, compact, and practical design. The machine deploys technology essential for preparing an outstanding Espresso, and is exceptionally easy to use: Automatic control of the amount of coffee in the cup. A high pressure pump (19 bars) extracts all the aromas and develops a smooth crema in the cup. A thermobloc which heats water to 187°and 196° during extraction and empties the remaining water after each use so that the water is fresh for each preparation. A simple system which perforates the capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to optimally filter the coffee. A functional handle system, which allows for easy coffee preparation. Automatic ejection of used capsule. Removable water container (34 oz). Tray for used capsules. Back-lit control button Nespresso C100/T1 Essenza Automatic Machine, Titan Gray

Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Titan Grey
Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine, Titan Grey Easy to use but still a compromise – B. Geary –
Most of the positive reviews for this machine emphasize consistency, ease-of-use, speed, and fail safe approach to making espresso in the home. In those respects, I suspect Nespresso is superior to most alternatives, particularly other capsule and pod based machines.
Problem is, the espresso is just plain weak. You can warm your cup, purchase only the strongest capsules, and use espresso size cups. The output looks like a shot pulled from a cafe with a nice layer of faux crema, but it’s flavor is far less bold or rich. It’s similar to single serve coffee output from Keurig, which is fine, but it’s not espresso. I can’t imagine adding steamed milk to it.
So if you’re unaccustomed to consuming espresso pulled from commercial grade machines or are enamored with the aesthetics of Nespresso capsules or coffee’s visual presentation (that’s foam not crema), this is a great option.
If you’re really wanting espresso in the home, I recommend you continue to look at other options. If you think you’ll save money with fewer trips to the cafe, think again. A double shot from Nespresso is roughly .40 (2 capsules shipping). Most coffee houses sell a double shot for .50-.00.
-C100T vs. Citiz-
We deliberated over 2 machines: the C100T and the new Citiz. After doing some research, we found some interesting facts.
The initial advantages the Citiz had over the C100 were:
1) Slightly smaller counter top footprint
2) Flip-up tray for tall Latte glass option
3) Auto shut-off feature
4) Styling, (although only slightly less ugly)
However after a bit more investigation we found some not so obvious advantages the C100 has over the new Citiz.
Firstly the Citiz although priced the same as the C100, does not come bundled with the Aeroccino like C100 does.
Secondly, based on reading other reviewers, some have noted the Citiz have a tendency to jam. After further follow up, some said only when the pod basket is full, yet others have noted this not the case, it jammed even when the pod waste basket was empty. Further follow up showed the Citiz waste pod basket holds 8 used pods where the C100 as many as 12 or more before removal.
Additionally others have brought up the possible detrimental fact that its tall slim design can make the Citiz a bit tippy when loading the pod and not as stable to work with as the C100. After now using the machine I can see where that could be an issue as a bit of force is necessary to lock the lever down.
Yet another reviewer and owner of both machines said he purchased the new Citiz primarily for the optional tall glass feature then found the Citiz was more hassle to clean up because of its 2 or 3 additional parts; the C100 only has 3 parts to clean and clean up is a snap. As mentioned above we too consider the Citiz for its fold up tall glass Latte tray holder, however having now used the C100 with both short and tall glasses, it is really no big deal to hold the tall glass in place during the coffee extraction process.
With respect to counter top space, although only slightly wider in its stance to the Citiz, the C100 is not really large at all. Certainly much smaller than a stand alone drip machine and far smaller than a traditional espresso maker- about the size of a 2 slice toaster.
-The Aeroccino-
Personally I think this part of the system makes the entire coffee come together- for me without the Aeroccino, this is just a decent espresso machine.
First of all it is super easy to use, fill to the level, press the button and go. I noted during demos the Nespresso cafe folks would put the lid on downside up- at first perplexed later realize it is easier to clean up- clever. The other cool feature of the Aeroccino is if you do not want heated milk, hold the button for 3 seconds and the light will go blue instead of red- cold whipped milk for ice cafe- clever again!
Cooler yet Nespresso designed the little Latte whip and Cappuccino whisk to be held in place by magnets and there is a magnet in the lid to hold one tool when the other is in use- those Swiss are ingenious! In my opinion the Aeroccino does a better job than the integrated Latisima machine.
-Milk Types-
We were recommended to use higher protein milk as it will provide better results and based on some tests, the whole milk higher protein products do produce a really nice froth over slim milk. The machine produces Cappuccino froth amazingly fluffy while the Latte milk the Aeroccino produces is very rich and creamy. The C100 we have is made in Switzerland!
Highly recommended system!!
