Nespresso Pixie Coffee Machine with Aeroccino, Carmine Red by Magimix

I love, love, love my new espresso machine. I've had it for a month now and my love has only deepened. It is so blindingly simple to use, even I can use it with my eyes closed. Which is how they usually are before I have my morning coffee. Its easy to clean, makes almost no mess and brings me my coffee hit in a gasp worthy 35 seconds (Lungo). The crema (or whatever its called, I'm no expert) is a thing of beauty. I have no scientific method of comparison, but I'm pretty sure it rivals if not betters that produced by the gigantic machines you see in coffee shops. Its so lovely and creamy I actually tend to just have a Lungo with a splash of milk whereas I thought I would be making latte's every day. Don't get me wrong, the Aeroccino is also a marvel, but somehow the added two minutes it would take to heat the milk feels like an eternity relative to 35 seconds. I haven't yet ordered any replacement capsules online or by phone but have rather gone into the store on Regent's street in London. There I have found the staff to be quite variable with two of the three I have dealt with so far being frankly snooty and unhelpful and one being so lovely and knowledgeable I almost forgave the other two.In short, I cannot find fault with the Pixie. Its easy to use, produces fantastic coffee and is also lovely to look at. The Aeroccino is also incredibly simple to use and produces impressive froth. I only use it less than expected because the coffee is so lovely I don't need to cut the bitterness with large amounts of milk. I would still buy it though, especially as part of this Amazon deal as its nice to have the option to have a longer, milkier drink if you fancy it. I would recommend these machines unreservedly to anyone who wants a better home coffee experience.

This is by far the best coffee machine I have had/used. Problem is I am drinking to much coffee. A great selection of coffee's to use, I am using them from another company, cannot tell the difference from Nespresso brand. Back to the machine a great little product, easily make coffee to your individual taste, The milk frother really does work a treat, Very frothy and gives a professional look when making drinks in a long tall glass. I also just heat a small amount of milk in the microwave to make a small Exspresso (Cant drink it black). Would recommend that you purchase the stronger coffee pods, more adaptions can be tried that way.Sum it up a great addition to any kitchen, small enough to leave on the worktop all of the time, Do thumbs down to this machine, Tried three other brands but this is by far my best choice, Make sure you purchase the model with the frother.Happy drinking, Oh and another thing I am VERY VERY reluctant to pay Costa prices when I am out because I can make a better cup of coffee at home n all that.Nuff said by thee sen one,

It has had good reviews from most quarters. That's reassuring when you taste your thimbleful of strong coffee and try to decide if this is a nice experience or not. Unfortunately a good aromatic coffee is an elusive experience and it isn't very logical to expect a tiny "capsule" to deliver the sort of coffee experience you'd expect from a barista in a coffee-house. I think the espresso is fine, but making a cappucino is a bit more tricky. It is, at least, very quick. You can produce a cappuccino in about 2 minutes. The coffee will be rather dilute and lacking in any aroma. The Aeroccino requires some practice - only put a small quantity of milk in because if you fill it even half full, you'll have milk all over your worktop. The light should be red for a cappucino froth - if it's blue it probably means you held down the button too long and you'll get cold frothed milk. On the minus side, the quantities of coffee this machine produces are too small but maybe you could consider using more than one capsule, one after the other. It's also a shame that so much waste is produced - I don't think you could call this method environmentally friendly. On the plus side, the Pixie is extremely compact, very quick and arguably needs no cleaning at all.Don't make the mistake I made and visit the supermarket and buy capsules that look the same but are bigger. I've just thrown some away that were Dolce Gusto. It is fortunately not true that you have to buy your capsules mail order. You have to make sure they are "nespresso compatible" and I found some in Waitrose and Tesco.

This machine is brilliant and makes a great tasting coffee. I'm pretty fussy in the searh for a good brew and think they've nailed it for this price point of the home market. Sure there's higher tier, more expensive models out there that will do a better job at freshly grinding a bag of beans for you and frothing the milk like a top Batista. I'm really keen on the Sage Oracle for £1500 buy can't justify it for a couple of cups on the weekend.With this machine anyone can create a great tasting coffee and capsules are about £0.30 each! We went for the red colour because it was the best deal around boxing day but I'm glad we did, nice to add a bit if colour to the kitchen compared to the more common black and silver options.

I bought this machine as a present for my father for Christmas and the whole family has been using it. There are 5 of us and we all love it. The coffee pack is a wonderful addition as we can taste the different strengths and flavours, I have already picked out a few we love and ordered more from Nespresso's website. It is very easy to use and even easier to clean up. The Aerocinno, Milk Frother, is a must if you want to make lattes or cappucinos. It is easy to use and clean (we have even used this to make hot chocolate, heating the milk in it.For anyone thinking of buying a coffee machine look no further the Pixie is great :)
