It’s compact enough to fit comfortably on my counter without taking up too much space, and the design is clean and simple—nothing flashy, but it looks sleek and modern. Setup was super easy, and it only takes a couple of minutes to heat up and brew.For something this size, the espresso comes out surprisingly smooth and rich. I’ve been using the Original line pods, and they consistently produce a strong, flavorful shot with a nice layer of crema on top. It’s perfect for mornings when I don’t have time for a full routine—just pop in a pod, hit the button, and the coffee is ready in under a minute.The water tank is small, but enough for several cups before needing a refill. I also really appreciate that it shuts off automatically after a little while—it’s a small thing, but it makes a difference for peace of mind when I’m rushing out the door.Even without photos, I wanted to leave a quick review based on my first impressions.For the price, I think it’s a great value. It does exactly what it’s supposed to, doesn’t take up much room, and makes really good espresso without any fuss. If you’re looking for a straightforward, compact machine that just works, this one is a solid choice.

Pros of the Inissia:-Clean appearance, looks and feels quality-Small size - fits well in small kitchens-Very cheap compared to a full size espresso machine-Machine warms up quickly-FAST. I love how quick this machine is. I used to make moka pot coffee, which is noisier (or the grinder is), faster, and not as tasty.-Cheaper pods - for me, since this is true espresso, this is a more cost effective way of enjoying my coffee. It is a fraction of the cost of a coffee shop, and since buying the Inissia I have almost ceased going to the coffee shop at all. The unit is cheap enough to outweigh the costs of buying the pods anyway.-The pods run around 70 cents a shot across the board. They're about the same price whether through Bolo or Nespresso's website, but Nespresso will usually give you a good "Starter discount" and a gift the first time you order, so using a combination of the two might be helpful.Cons of the Inissia:-Ordinary coffee from your grocery store cannot be used with this unit - only pods from Nespresso are recommended. This means you can't try out different coffees and their flavors using this machine. You can buy occasional new flavors through Nespresso though.-The drip tray must be removed if a taller mug is used to collect espresso.-"A little" noisy. Doesn't wake up sleeping kids in the next room though. Much quieter than a grinder.-Precious espresso sometimes sits in the chamber where the pod is - when it's done making espresso, the last half a teaspoon of espresso (or less) may sit there. If you've removed the drip tray / used pod box then you'll need to clean the bottom of the section of the unit where the used pod box would be. Not too bad, but it's an extra step.-The used pod collection drawer also collects this espresso mentioned above - and if not cleaned regularly can grow mold. This could just be very humid environments such as where I'm at, but I was surprised at how short a time it took. I clean and air dry mine regularly now.Overall?Fantastic little espresso machine! I've been looking at buying one of these for years. An office I used to work at had one, so knowing the taste was good I decided to take the plunge. I was nervous about the cheaper price of this unit at first, hoping that it wasn't cheap because of lack of quality. I researched a lot, bought this one, and haven't regretted it.I found I wanted a taste I could trust. This espresso is the real thing, with excellent tasty crema every time. I prefer the Arpeggio and Livanto espresso shots, but I do like the Envivo Lungo, to my surprise. The Inissia pulls espresso shots and also makes lungo shots, which simply remind me of my trusted moka pot in taste and are a "longer" shot than the standard. I don't really think of the lungo as an espresso, however.Uses original line nespresso pods; it isn't recommended to try anything else with it (including those that are reusable). You can recycle the used pods if you wish through a nespresso recycling location near you, and little recycling bags come with the unit.Includes directions on how to clean the machine; they don't look difficult. I haven't had to clean mine yet but the directions indicate when is best to clean. It doesn't look too hard, but you do have to buy a cleanser for this. It looks like just running the machine on lungo a few times with the cleaner and then a few times without; not a big deal.The difference between this machine, which uses original line pods, and the vertuo line nespresso units: This has to do with the way the coffee is made. Vertuo uses centrifugal force to achieve pressure - the original line it is said uses a special air compressor to achieve enough pressure. I can hear what sounds like this air compressor part working when I use the machine. I researched what others said about the difference in taste, and many lovers of classic espresso liked the original line best, so that's what I went with.All in all a very efficient espresso machine. I wish I'd bought it years ago, even if it was more expensive then...

5.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic No Fuss Nespresso by DeLonghi

The media could not be loaded. This is my second machine and it’s not because it broke. I have that in our RV now since it travels so easily and is wonderfully space saving. Some reviews state that it “didn’t work, no coffee or water came out”. Well it’s likely because they didn’t follow directions and run it a few times with warm water to flush line and prime it. Make sure to do that step first as I mention in the video review.After ordering a knock off to save $$ and see it fail, I decided to use what actually works.This machine isn’t meant for amazing espresso pulls, it’s meant for an ‘express-o’which it gives you just that, a taste of espresso FAST with easy cleaning, no mess, and great value. When I crave a true espresso pull then I go to my favorite barista and savor the roasted beans and creama.My only semi frustration is sometimes it’s just not hot enough, I do preheat my cup to help it. Also, some peeps might complain about their mug not fitting but if you just angle it the spout actually stabilizes it and you can get the coffee in and then add your steamed milk no problemo 😉☕️I do like how Nespresso gives you a coupon to order their coffee. I favor their most intense coffee and then I order other brands that are organic + have a stainless pod to add my own coffee (make sure it’s extra fine ground almost Turkish style if you use your own coffee or it will be too weak since temp isn’t hot enough). Hope my tidbits help you! 👍🏻

Excellent

Wow what a fabulous little machine! And the frother is fab too! Super easy to use, and clean, and takes up little space. I ordered this mainly for my airbnb travellers as I don't drink much coffee, however I now use it too. I just wish there was a good selection of teas available as a lot of travellers also drink tea. The reusable pods I ordered separately work very well too. The Inissia is a keeper. Order it!

Amazing machine

This is my second machine of the same model and the I've only stopped using the first one after I moved from Europe to Canada. I've been waiting for months for the price of this machine to drop and got it at last. I can prepare a lot of espresso recipes very easily. Once you get accustomed to drinking Nespresso in a routine you won't be able to drink any other coffee.

Great Nespresso coffee machine
