The U 3 buttons are programmables. Just keep your finger on the chosen button, close the door and leave the button when you like the quantity of water. Check with your cups. And program the 3. I bought the U for vacation trip because it's smaller and Nespresso sell a travel bag.
Essenza is also available as an automatic model. Two brew buttons on the front both programable as well and rocker switch for power at the back. Everything else is the same as this one you have. it is a great little machine for smaller spaces and only around $30 more than the manual version.
Hey! I'd just like to say that i really do love your video's. I find them very impartial and informative. I recently bought the Nespresso U w/ the aeroccino plus. I cant tell you how much I love it!!!!! Thanks for your hard work!!
I've not used the D90, you don't see those so much anymore. I have a C101, which is different than the C91 currently available at Nespresso's website. The C101 works just like the Pixie and Citiz, you have two size buttons and they are programable and do stop themselves. I love the C101. I'm looking for a 2nd one for work but want the auto shut off so now I have to decide between the U and the Pixie. The Nespresso coffees are excellent though - get a brother with it!
The U can also be programmed to give you a longer draw of espresso if desired.
Indeed. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
Btw, the water level can be programmed with the U like the Pixie and Citiz. Reading manuals does help.
So, it does what the other ones do plus it's automatic as well. Pretty cool.
I have to say that of the many Nespresso video reviews I've seen you definitely have the edge. Informative, impartial, demonstrative. By the way, I'm English and have no problem with your use of the language! Keep up the great work, thank you.
Thanks for the very informative video. I must make an important correction to very misleading statement, however (probably an unintentional misspeak on your part). The Lungo buttons are not for a double shot! For that you need to run it twice with a second pod. The Lungo button is for a long shot, i.e. more water through the same pod, so weaker coffee as well. (Of course, you can select a more intense blend and use the Lungo to get more and strong espresso, unless you are already using the strongest on the Espresso setting, but explaining this will just confuse the newcomer.)
Really great review. Thanks for the information. I had the U but it wasn't reliable with mild rusting on the water container and leaking. Looking at the CitiZ now so your review is very useful.
Thanks Brian for this comparison!
I own an Essenza which I'm going to replace after 2 years of delivering my beloved Nespresso. This vid helped me a lot at my decision (for the U :D)
I don't know if I got something wrong, but I want to point out that you can even set the amount of coffee and program the U (don't know if there's a difference between the one you tested to today's (10/2013) by just pressing & then holding the button you want to program pressed while starting the brewing process.
I just got the U this week and after reading the manual found out that the three buttons are in fact all programmable.
Thank you for your very quick reply. One thing I have been searching for is comments on the Citiz with the milk frother next to it. I see them on amazon for sale but not listed on Nespresso site either. Any comments or reasons not to buy the combo? Is this a new release?
Have you notice any quality differences in flavor between these machines?
Very thorough review, thanks. I assume that you didn't comment on the taste because all 4 machines brew w/ the same results? How about timing of the brew for each? The U seems to be a bit slower than the Essenza/Pixie.
Maybe the Essenza stays a little bit in the back, but when it comes to the rest three I think there is no particular winner, It's just depend on a personal preference and which design You like the most.
Great review, the new Essenza has 2 buttons, one for lungo one for expresso.
Good point, thanks!
Just seen this video and thinking of a Citiz machine. The buttons are not single and double shots, they are expresso and lungo. A lungo is not a double shot espresso.
Hi Thank you for your videos they are very helpful. I have two questions. Where can I find the clearance measurements for a coffee cup? I want to use cups larger than espresso size. I understand the platform is adjustable on several but what about width? Which unit gets the coffee hottest? I have read review that some units do not get coffee very hot.
Hi. i bought the U. But i saw you test the Pixie and U . But how come the U has less coffee when press the centre button for espresso and the Pixie you press one short for espresso has More coffee ? don understand > ?? Thank You for the help .
Not sure if the Essenza machine on the video is newer or older than mine, I'm guessing newer? Mine has the two buttons on the front, one for small cup & one for large cup, both are also programmable ilke the Citiz & Pixie. it is no different than the Citiz or Pixie other than design. I also have a separate power button on the side near the bottom of the machine as well as a heavier duty silver metal handle at the top.
It looks like Essenza is discontinued by Nespresso. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
Yes it's correct. Just FYI Nespresso running $100 store credit right now. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
Hi Brian, I enjoy your Nespresso videos. I was hoping on this one you included the temperature of the coffee machines as you did with another video. Any chance of including it?
Inissia is just 75 euro's and its also somewhat automated with 2 buttons and programmable function... i think its the best one
at 10:05 that is a bit concerning that you had to hold to glass there or else it would vibrate off. what's up with that?
I just bought Essenza and paid 87 € in Finland. Have not received it yet. I want to determine myself how much water I want into my espresso and for that reason I chose Essenza. Sometimes ristretto, sometimes lungo..Now I still need to find out which Coffeeduck refillable pods are suitable for this machine as I want to determine also what kind of a coffee I will be using.)
Thank's a lot for this review, I can choose more easily my first Nespresso Machine, but I'm wondering ... which machine will be the best mate to the Aeroccino 3 ?
Is there really a difference between an espresso pod vs a lungo pod? I like more coffee that lungo pulls but i also like some flavors that are only available in espresso pods. I do run those espresso pods on lungo setting - is it ok, is it bad for the machine?
really well made.. thanks for making this!! helped me make my decision... do you have a video on descaling as well?
I wish he checked the temp of the water for each one, i heard the citiz is the hottest but it would be nice to confirm it before I buy one
i think build quality should also be added as one of the assessment!!.. otherwise nice comparison
Would love an updated video like this with the essenza mini!
I just checked it looks like it is not on their website. I got mine in Canada years ago.
Can you do a comparison between the pixie, citiz, and the new essenza mini? Thanks
Thank you, SUPER helpful in choosing one!!
Hi Bryan--great videos; thanks. I have had the Essenza for about 3 years and just got a second one on sale so that I can use the old one at work. I hadn't realized that the current Essenza model requires the user to determine how big of a shot to make; I'm just used to hitting the button and letting the machine determine that amount. I wish I had looked more carefully at your video before the purchase and gotten one of the automatic higher end ones as part of that sale. With that said, I guess it's trial and error in terms of learning how much of a shot to brew, right? Thanks again. Don
I like to draw a little more out of my capsules, because I like more coffee - but taste is subjective. Whatever works for you, works! Thanks for watching!
Noticed the cup had to be restrained throughout the brew with the Pixi. Was this solely because of the machine's vibration or the set-up of the brewing surface in the studio?
Thanks!
Nice overview !! but now the Essenza is also automatic (got 1)
Crazy how fast they change!
You actually can program the U to customise the pour.... I own one!!! (and it's the only one that doesn't vibrate so much it moves the cup as it's pouring lol!!!!
Citiz it's by far the best one when it comes to design. Slim and elegant design. About functions, I gues they are all pretty much almost the same.
Have you found any reusable capsules that work well in the citiz
There's really no reusable options, sadly.
I only need to say that the Nespresso U is also programmable.. Very nice machine and dilicious coffee :-D
I'm not sure if it available in US. Is it? Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
How hi is the pixie with the arm swung up measure to? Cheers enjoy your cup.
GREAT REVIEW....THANK YOU..
Very helpful overview! Thanks
I think it's no longer available some reason. If you decide to go with Nespresso frother we recommend you "Nespresso Aeroccino 3". But you don't have to stick with Nespresso. See our reviews for milk frothers. Breville is so far the best on our tests. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
But my main problems with nespresso are
1) Its takes a really long time to make a lungo.
2) you can only make 1 at a time
Thanks for your review, i've learned a lot and now i choose my favorite Nespresso machine
Love your review!! keep it up!
Thanks so much!
in 10:01+ Do all of the Pixie models vibrate like this? The glass is moving while brewing and is like it's going to fall down on the table. If its that way then it makes the Pixie pretty useless if You have to hold the glass to avoid its falling down.
We received the Essenza as a gift but unfortunately, it is powered for USA, not usable in Singapore. Tried looking for a power converter for it but it appears that all the applicable converters are immensely huge and takes up a lot of counter space.
Thought of using a travel adaptor but am terrified that it might just blow up the whole kitchen.
Would you be able to suggest anyway to fix this?
Many thanks Jeff and keep those videos coming!
Thanks. We did tested temp and it's very consistent with all of them. I highly recommend you to prime machine (just brew hot water without capsule) before each use. This will "warmup" machine and mug. You will best clearance with Citiz then Pixie and U. Hope this helps. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com.
How about the taste of coffee?
Great info thank you the best comparison video out there :)
Bravo! Many thanks, Brian. Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you so much!
U do a great job man. Much appreciated !
Thank you. Yes they all brew the same. Timing slightly different thought. I can't give you numbers because we need to measure it. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Pixie seems to be quite a bit louder than the U, right?
I have the chance to buy an Essenza D90 or an Essenza C101 at $100 usd each. The C101 includes 2 Nespresso cups. Which one is better? Thanks
We don't :). They use same capsules. Speed might be different thought. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Say "button" like you said "bottom" there at 7:20.
Good video though :)
great review!!! i just bought my essenza. Greetings from argetina
Which is the fastest?
do you have a review of nepresso essensa mini?
Really detailed review, I am deciding between U and Pixie, any idea why Pixie is more expensive despite being not automatic? Is Pixie of better built quality? Coffee Maker Reviews - Aromacup.com
thanks Brian - it was a lot helpfull
Nespresso has different machines in few Countries. It's confusing sometimes :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Cool vid. Thanks!
Mine is the citiz but older version
Great review!!!
Indeed. For a lot of people price is also a big factor thought. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Very informative. Thumbs up for the vid.
Thanks. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.
Power but-ton.
Tell you what, everytime you razz me for how I say button, you have to go watch another one of our videos. Deal? DEAL. THANKS
Scrolled down to the comments just to see comments about how he says "but-ton" hahaha.
Pathetic people that think they are perfect i guess.
Just ignorant people.
Brian have you noticed in the word ignorant begins with ignor.
IGNORE child like behavior.
I like all your vids, you are well spoken and easy to understand.
Keep up the great work, young man
Thank u man
Thanks. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com!
Why you dont make coffe
Thanks. We'll publish descale videos next month. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
This video was not as informative as it should be as each machine has a specific function that is not mentioned in the video. For example : I think that you do need help get your facts straight with the Nespresso U as it is the most user friendly, offering a fully automatic system which can be programmed easily to fit the needs of the user by simply holding the desired button until the level of coffee desired is reached. The user simply releases the button to stop the pouring process. The machine can also be turned on by simply pressing any of the three buttons. Upon start up it will automatically choose the cup size that was most frequently used over the course of the past 11cups. It also informs the user when the water tank is empty by the buttons flashing in an upward direction. If the buttons flash in a downward motion, this means that the capsule collection tray is full and needs to be emptied.
All of them will do :). Essenza has less clearance thought. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Video simplistic. Did not cover the capsules/pods. Did not cover the competitor pods and which ones the machines take OR do not take. Did not cover the sound (decibels) as the higher end machines are very very loud. Did not cover that the Essenza or Pixie tray does flip up however you cannot get a regular mug under the spout; the spouts are 'set back' from the front of the machine so the drip flows on the edge of a mug. The video did not cover...... I would not recommend this too simplistic video when making a choice on which machine to buy.
You are welcome! Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com

Wtf is a tumbler, don't u just call it a cup
nice mustache tat :)
Who taught you to say butt-ton?
It's hard to tell. But U actually very impressive machine I have to say :). Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com
Good review, however Brian needs to gain command of the English language. He uses between a lot when comparing the four machines. He should use "among" as between is used exclusively for comparing two. There is no way to be "between" any number higher than two. I know it's a detail, however for me the review was lost in the delivery.
I think my coffee tastes better now. Thank you
I speak how I speak, and I am what I am - I have quite a grasp of the english language, THANKS

Your inconsistent use of commas doesn't say much for your command of the English language.
Great. Enjoy your cup, Aromacup.com

***** Hey it's all in good fun. However i will mention that our machine started leaking in its second year, and is nearly completely useless now that it's three.
