Essenza Manual Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Plus Milk Frother Bundle Option: Black/Aero+Bundle Review

When I first got into the single serve espresso at home game I wasn't sure which way to go. Despite the reviews I decided on the Versimo Starbucks machine. It was a mistake. Like others my main complaint was the cream pods but even the espresso seemed to have an empty flavor. So I decided to dive into the world of Nespresso. SO GLAD I DID!

Part one: What's in the box
The machine and frother came in a a single "Package deal" box and were labeled "not for individual sale" upon opening. So this is a starter package in essence as it also includes a sample of the 16 main flavors available. There's a leather bound looking guide to the different flavor and a serial # card for registration/warranty. There is also paperwork (Directions, how to order pods and various Usage info)

Part Two: Initial setup
Couldn't be easier, I washed the components and placed them on my counter. There are basically 3 parts. Nespresso Machine, Drip tray with used pod collector and water tank. Took about :20 seconds to assemble (The hardest part is pulling off the blue protective skin they cover the stainless drip tray with) The Frother is 3 parts, Base (great so you don't have to unplug the unit to clean or pour, just lift it off the powered base) Main frother unit, and the lid. After cleaning this was assembled in 5 seconds.

Part three: First Use
So following directions, fill the water tank, turn the power on by pressing the left button, wait for the green start button on the right to go solid and then press the green button to run a short or two of hot water through. Simple enough. Here's where I hit my first and only little issue. upon pressing the button, I could hear the sound of the machine working but alas no water was going through. I gave it 1 min as instructed but still no water. This is when I went to the troubleshooting section. It stated that on first use or after a long time of no use (can't ever see this happening now lol) you should open the pod insert level while the button is pushed and this will "Vent" the pump. Sure enough after doing this everything worked like a charm and the issue has never since reappeared. BE AWARE this is a manual machine! You place a pod in the top and position your Espresso shot glass on the tray. Press the Espresso button on the right side of the machine to start dispensing and press it again to stop. Each shot takes around :10 seconds to fill and total time from a cold start to a steamed cup is 1 min :10 seconds. Every following shot has no prep time. you can get 2 shots out of each pod and if making an iced drink or americana you can even drop a 3rd or 4th. After use simply flip up the pod latch and the spent pod falls into the drip tray collector bin inside the machine. To clean up run 1 or two shows of hot water only through the machine and hold the second shot over the nozzle. All done.

Part 4: The ESPRESSO!
Wow. We have a local beanery where I live that roasts grinds and brews espresso using state of the art equipment and fresh beans sent directly from the source. I haven't been back since getting this machine. It is some of the smoothest freshest tasting espresso. My Latte's are amazing Iced or Hot. There is such a wide range of flavors from mild to bitter, Every persons espresso preference has a representative. I've found "Roma" flavor to be the closest to starbucks although a tad bit nuttier. Vistretto and Arpeggio are a couple other favorites in my house. There are also a couple new "Designer pods" with Vanilla, Caramel and dark chocolate infused. They are pretty good as well. I couldn't be happier with the flavor I get from this machine!

Part 5: The Frother
The Frother is awesome. 1 Button. Simply fill to the cold or hot level indicated by lines inside the frother. If frothing cold, press and hold the button for 2-3 seconds. If you want hot just press the button (make sure the lid is on) Hot or cold the milk is prepped perfect. My wife uses almond milk and that is frothed to perfection as well. Easy to use and perfect results every time. When done, simply lift the frother from the base and rinse under hot water for a second or two. Cleanup finished.

Wrap-up
Amazing Value! This machine alone retails for $129 and the frother for $99 getting both for the price of just the machine is impossible to pass on if you are in the market. I am blown away by the quality and ease of use/cleanup! 5 stars and 6 if there was an option.
