Life can throw many surprises at us and coping with all these can sometimes be overwhelming. Everyone, therefore, has a different escape. For the coffee aficionados, it’s nothing but a quick and refreshing cup of coffee, and that’s where a good espresso machine comes in handy.

However, some espresso machines have complex functions that may be hard for a novice to understand initially. I remember that my first time using an espresso machine was nothing but a mess. But thankfully, products like the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De’Longhi can be a great tool for coffee novices.

Therefore, today I’m reviewing the Nespresso Inissia Espresso machine, one of the best espresso machines for beginners available in the market. Since you are here, I presume that something about it has drawn your attention. So, let’s see whether you should consider buying this espresso machine or not.

Features of the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De’Longhi

Design and Build

Build quality plays an essential role in the overall quality of an appliance. A more robust build ensures the machine’s durability. To be honest, the build quality of the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine didn’t quite satisfy me. It has an average-quality plastic exterior. But considering the price, you can’t ask for more.

What I loved about the espresso machine is its design. Its clever and modern design is very attractive. It has a lightweight, compact, and easily portable design. The espresso maker is available in various color variants, all of which perfectly complement your kitchen’s interior. It’s a good option for anyone wanting a basic and simple model without spending too much.

Ease of Use

Everyone remembers their first time using an espresso machine. Understanding the features of such devices is quite tricky. So, the next thing that attracted me to the machine is its user-friendliness. Unlike other espresso machines, the Nespresso Inissia has automatic control. It features only two buttons that do most of the job.

Your job is only to fill the 24oz water tank and put the coffee capsule in place. Then you just have to turn on the machine and wait for around 2-3 minutes till it brings you a cup of hot coffee. By using the buttons, you can control the amount of coffee dispensed. The machine is suitable for espresso and lungo preparations, giving you enough flexibility in size.

Energy-efficient

Aren’t we all just tired of paying hefty electricity bills every month? While the human race is dependent on electricity, we can’t avoid these payments for sure. Technology has brought us many efficient appliances to make our life easy. But they also increase the electricity bills, thereby increasing our stress.

Coffee, for sure, works as a stress reliever. But will it really help if you brew it in an electrical appliance? My answer could be a ‘NO’ if today’s topic was about any other espresso machine. But the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine’s most significant selling point is its energy-efficient performance.

It features an energy-saving mode that automatically shuts off the machine after 9 minutes of inactivity. So, even if you forget to switch the device off before leaving, it’ll turn itself off automatically and save electricity.

Cleaning

Cleaning is undoubtedly one of the most frustrating jobs on this planet. Thankfully, with a simple touch of cleverness, the De’Longhi Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine hardly requires any cleaning at all. It uses recyclable coffee pods that hardly create any mess.

Periodical cleaning is all that it requires. However, if you use frother milk, you might have to clean the tank. The espresso machine, although, doesn’t come with any milk frother. So, if you want creamy coffee, you have to arrange the frothing yourself.

Speed

You don’t always get the time to make your beverage with utmost dedication. Sometimes, all we need is a quick cup of coffee with the perfect flavor and scent. Well, if that is what you want, the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine should be able to meet your requirements.

The machine can brew you a fresh cup of latte or cappuccino within around 2-3 minutes with its simple function. So, during those study breaks or late night work, this espresso machine can be your best pal to keep you up.

FAQ

Does the Nespresso Inissia Espresso machine come with a milk frother?

The Nespresso Inissia Espresso is one of the best espresso makers in the semi-automatic espresso machine category. It has simple features, easily understandable by most people. However, it does not include a milk frother, which is undoubtedly one of the machine’s downsides.

How do I turn off my Nespresso Inissia?

You might have noticed that the Nespresso Inissia doesn’t have any separate on/off switch. You can turn this machine off by pressing both espresso and lungo buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. But if it is already in automatic turn-off mode after 9 minutes, press the lungo button for 3 seconds, and it’ll turn off.

What does Lungo mean?

‘Lungo’ is an Italian word that means “long” in English. Lungo coffee is a preparation of espresso that means a preparation of “long coffee.”

Conclusion

Small, compact and portable, the Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De’Longhi comes with almost all the necessary features required in a good espresso machine. But the build quality is still questionable. Moreover, it also excludes some essential features like milk frothing. So, what should you do?

You pay for what you get. I can’t deny that the Nespresso Inissia costs much lower than its counterparts, which totally justifies such exclusions. Therefore, I would recommend this espresso machine to novice coffee brewers. It is also suitable for people wanting a pocket-friendly and fast espresso machine.
