 Reasons to buy: Gives a great Espresso - Affordable - Compact size Reasons to avoid: No Milk frother (can purchase separately) - Small pod tray and water tank - Limited shot size options - Taller mugs may not fit under spout The Mini Essenza is going to give you the same great tasting espresso as any of its more expensive counterparts. Its compact size means it can easily fit in most kitchens. But being so compact means that it will fill up with pods quickly so you will need to empty it regularly depending on how often you use it. It also has a smaller water tank which will need to be filled up more often. 0 - D
