Krups Nespresso EA9010 Review

The Krups EA9010 is a super-automatic machine that can make stunning espresso shots and quality milk cafe drinks steamed at the touch of an button. The high cost and absence of manual controls may disappoint home barista enthusiasts.

Its speed and ease of use make it a perfect choice for those who value convenience in the mornings. It also has a compact footprint and is cost-effective.

1. Easy to use

There are a variety of options when you're looking for a coffee machine that is user-friendly. One of our favorites is the Krups Nespresso Inissia. This compact machine is ideal for singles or Nespresso novices because it's easy to set up and operate. It also produces a dense crema that can fill large mugs. It's also compatible with L'OR's Nespresso Barista XXL pods, which hold more than twice the amount of coffee as the smaller capsules.

The Inissia has a tiny tank that can produce four to six espressos and luongos, without needing to be replenished. It is also easy to clean and has a handy place for capsules that are no longer needed. You can also stop the brewing process, which is ideal if you need to grab a quick cup before work or school. However, you should note that if you skip this step, your coffee could be a little weaker than it would have been when you waited for the brew cycle to end.

Krups Nespresso Essenza Mini EA81 is a smaller machine that produces delicious coffee. It's the smallest model within the OriginalLine range and comes with two drink sizes - espresso and lungo. It's simple to use and has an elegant design that looks stunning on your counter. It has a removable drip tray cake container and a water tank. It also has a steam nozzle for making cappuccinos.

The Essenza Mini's water tank is on the small side, so you might have to refill it regularly. It also has a lower capacity for brewing hot water than other models in the same price range. It does come with a built-in conical grinder which is an excellent option for anyone looking to avoid the expense of buying an additional coffee grinder. It is also simple to clean and maintain, and can be easily descaled using an exclusive powder. This model comes in a variety of colors and will add style to any kitchen.

2. Easy to clean

A clean Nespresso machine is a vital element to enjoying the most delicious cup of coffee that you can. Sludge build-up can significantly impact the quality and flow of your coffee. Regular cleaning with a Caffeine & Tea Cleaning Capsule will help to prevent this and ensures that your coffee machine is running smoothly. Use capsules each month or every 30 cups to ensure that you get the perfect cup, and keep your Nespresso machine in top shape.

Basic Nespresso machines, such as the Mini and Essenza are easy to clean as they only move water or coffee through their digestive tracts. However the Lattissima range invites milk into the equation, which can lead to an abundance of residue and froth that requires cleaning. Luckily, the EA9010 is among the few machines to make this process fast and simple. A door on the front of the machine opens to reveal a massive bucket that holds the spent espresso grounds, known as "pucks". It is easy to open and throw it away, and a second drawer is home to bottles of a special cleaner produced by Krups.

These cleaners are dissolved into water and then pumped through the machine prior to cleaning. The tank and other parts of the machine can be rinsed off using fresh water. Once the water tank is empty, a descaler should be added, as instructed by the manual for your machine. Descaling eliminates mineral deposits from the thermoblock and heating element, which is a major cause of low performance.

After you have descaled your machine, you can now make fresh coffee. Clean the machine after each use to prevent the buildup of coffee grounds or oil. If you own an individual milk container or steam wand, empty the containers and clean them after every use. It is recommended to run a cleaning cycle at least once or twice per week to ensure your machine is running efficiently and avoid the buildup of scale. If you do not follow this the machine will notify you to run a clean cycle. The process does not need to be completed immediately following the warning, but it should be completed within a short period of time.

3. Easy to maintain

This is a great choice when you're seeking a model that is easy to maintain. It's among the few models we've tested that automatically cleanses and drains the machine after each use, which helps reduce the build-up of minerals and provides fresh, clean taste. It has a variety of drink settings, and it is compatible with Nespresso's L'OR XXL pods, which have more coffee. However, it does have some drawbacks, such as its pricey purchase and inconsistent foaming performance.

The Pixie is the tiniest and cheapest Nespresso model that is available which makes it a great option for anyone looking for an easy single-serve coffee maker. Its small design and low-profile water tank, as well as its internal drink library make it ideal for small spaces. You can also access the majority of popular cafe drinks like lattes and capspuccinos with the press of a button. Its only downside is that it doesn't come with an automatic frother. This can be a problem for baristas at home.

This machine isn't easy to maintain, but it's still a great option for anyone who wants a quick and delicious cup of coffee. It has a small footprint, and its internal capsule container can hold up 19 capsules. This makes it simple to refill and the machine is compatible with Nespresso's recycling program. It's compatible with L'OR Barista XXL capsules that offer more coffee than regular Nespresso pods.

After each use, you can keep your Krups Magimix Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee Maker With Frother machine clean by wiping the removable parts down with hot water and mild detergent. It is also recommended to empty the drip tray and capsule bin regularly. You'll have to descale the machine periodically. The user manual should include a free water-hardness test that will tell you the time to do this.

Descale your capsules after approximately 1000 capsules. You may need to descale your machine more frequently when you live in a region with hard water. The machine's automatic alert lets you know when it's time for descalers and the process is quick and relatively easy.

4. Easy to store

It is recommended that the machine is descaled at least every 1,000 capsules. You can find a descaling agent at all retailers that sell Nespresso products or you can purchase it from the manufacturer directly.

This Nespresso capsule machine is simple to clean due to the removable capsule container and the absence of an ice-making brush. Its small size makes it a great alternative for smaller spaces, and it's compatible with Nespresso Original Capsules. It is not as powerful as some other models but can still create a delicious espresso or coffee.

Like the majority of Nespresso coffee makers, this one is extremely simple to use. The minimalist design and one button at the top control everything, from turning it on to making coffee. It's also one of the cheapest and smallest machines available. However, it's only compatible with Nespresso-branded capsules and can only make black coffee. It's not the best for people who like cappuccino, latte, or macchiato.

The Krups Vertuo Plus machine is a great option if you want a Nespresso machine that is simple, yet elegantly constructed. It's compatible with Nespresso Barista XXL capsules. They are bigger than regular capsules and can be used to make larger mugs. It's also simple to install and use, making it an ideal choice for beginner Nespresso users.

The machine can serve a wide variety of drinks that include popular choices like espresso, americano or cappuccino. You can even ask it to brew "Red Eye" which is a standard coffee boosted with two additional espresso shots. The used capsules have a sour smell that you can get rid of by placing them in a water bowl. The machine also comes with an eco-friendly bag which can be left at Nespresso boutiques and other participating stores such as Williams Sonoma for free.
