De'Longhi Nespresso Essenza Mini EN 85.L light green

The member of the De'Longhi Nespresso family is one of the most compact capsule coffee makers. The width of the body of the model is 11 cm, so finding a place for it on the kitchen or desktop is not difficult.

The Essenza Mini EN 85.L version is available in Lime. Also on the market there are coffee makers in red (EN 85.R) and black (EN 85.B) cases.

Powerful pump and two automatic programs

The water tank has a capacity of 600 mL, which makes the coffee maker the best choice for 1 to 2 people. Thanks to the 1150 W heater, you can start making coffee in 25 seconds after turning it on. The pump creates a pressure of 19 bar, which provides a rich and aromatic drink.

The cooking process in De'Longhi Essenza Mini EN 85 is fully automated. There are two programs: espresso and lungo. For them, by default, the volume of liquid is set — respectively 40 and 110 mL. However, these values can be changed by storing new user settings in the device's memory.

The model is supplemented with a container for used capsules (holds 6 pcs). After preparing one serving, the used element is automatically dumped into a special compartment at the bottom of the case. The user may not take out this capsule, but immediately place a new one to start the next cycle.

Wide range of black coffee flavors

The coffee maker is designed to use Nespresso portion capsules. They are distinguished by a higher price (from $0.5 per serving) against the background of competitive solutions from Tassimo and Dolce Gusto, but at the same time they have selected bean quality and a wide variety. The choice among more than 25 flavors of black coffee and various manufacturers (in addition to Nestle) will satisfy the needs of even demanding connoisseurs.

De'Longhi Essenza Mini EN 85 is one of the most affordable Nespresso coffee makers. It will delight you with the compactness and high quality of black coffee, but will not allow you to prepare milk drinks. Perhaps fans of cappuccino and latte should take a closer look at the modification of the model, which is equipped with a manual frother — De'Longhi Nespresso Essenza Mini EN 85.BAE.
