![]() ![]() Here, coffee was dispensed at between 154-167oF/ 68-75oC, which is a good temperature and around what we’d expect. However, note that pod coffee lacks the deeper, rich fruity flavor that comes from freshly ground beans. As we’ve said above, there are plenty of different capsules to choose from, so you should be able to find the perfect flavor for you. The machine consistently produced espresso with a thick crema, with the resulting coffee tasting neither burnt nor overly bitter. This is great for those with time-poor morning routines. So no matter your coffee of choice, you’ll be able to prepare it in under a minute and a half, including the preheat time. An espresso takes just 15 seconds to pour and a lungo is marginally slower, taking around 30-40 seconds. We tried all the capsules and there wasn’t one that we disliked, although they’re noticeably different in strength.ĭuring our tests, the machine took an average of 25 – 30 seconds to preheat. Happily, the Pixie comes with a starter box of 14 different Nespresso capsules, so you get to try several from the range before committing to buying your favorites. The manual advises that you rinse the water tank and also dispense hot water without a capsule in place, which you do by hitting the lungo button three times. When the Nespresso Pixie by Krups is first removed from the box, there’s very little set-up required. Espresso dispenses a 1.4 fl.oz/ 40ml shot, while lungo dispenses a longer 3.9 fl.oz/ 110ml coffee. Then, to make a drink, you pull down the handle and select either espresso or lungo. When the large handle is pushed into the upright position, the spout moves forward to reveal the area in which you insert the capsule. Pressing the espresso button wakes up the coffee maker, and it will automatically switch off after nine minutes. ![]()
