Krups Nespresso EA9010 Review

The Krups EA9010 super-automatic machine creates high-quality espresso shots and steamed drinks at the touch of one button. Its high-end price and lack of manual controls are likely to disappoint home barista hobbyists though.

Its speed and simplicity make it an ideal choice for those looking to to quickly get up in the morning. It also has a compact footprint and is priced reasonably.

1. Simple to use

If you're looking for a coffee maker that is user-friendly there are a lot of options to choose from. Krups Nespresso Inissia is one of our favorites. This compact machine is ideal for singles or Nespresso novices as it is easy to set up and use. It can also produce a thick crema, and also fill large mugs. Another benefit is that it's compatible with L'OR Nespresso Barista XXL capsules that can hold up to two times the amount of coffee as the smaller capsules.

The Inissia has a small tank which can make four to six espressos and luongos without needing to be replenished. It is also easy to clean and has a handy location for the used capsules. You can also pause the process of brewing, which can be useful if you want to grab a quick cup before going to work or school. But, it is important to note that if you do not take this step, your coffee could be a bit weaker than it would be in the event that you been patient and waited for the brewing process to finish.

Krups Nespresso Essenza Mini EA81 is a smaller machine that makes delicious coffee. It's the smallest model from the OriginalLine range and offers two sizes of drinks including lungo and espresso. It's easy to use and has an elegant style that looks great on your counter. It comes with an adjustable drip tray, cake container and water tank. The machine also features a steam nozzle for making cappuccinos.

The tank for water in the Essenza Mini is small, so you may have to refill it regularly. It also has a lower capacity to brew warm water than other models in the same price range. It comes with a built-in conical grinder, which is a great option for those who don't want to buy a separate grinder. It is also simple to clean and maintain, and can be easily removed of its scale using the use of a special powder. This model is available 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 affect the flow and quality of your coffee. Regular cleaning with a Caffeine & Tea Cleaning Capsule helps prevent this and ensures that your coffee machine is running smoothly. Making use of these capsules each 30 cups or every month will ensure you enjoy the perfect cup of coffee and keep your Nespresso machine clean and healthy.

Basic Nespresso machines, such as the Mini and Essenza are easy to clean, as they only pass water or coffee through their intestines. The Lattissima line allows milk to be included in the equation. This can result in lots of froth which must be cleaned. Luckily the EA9010 is one of the few machines that make this process swift and simple. A door on the front of the machine opens to reveal a massive bucket that is used to store the grounds from espresso, referred to as "pucks". The drawer is simple to take out and dispose of as another drawer houses Krups' special cleaner.

These cleaners are dissolved in water and then pumped through the machine prior to cleaning. After that, the tank as well as other parts of the machine can be washed off with fresh water. Once the water tank is empty, a descaler should be added, as instructed by the manual for your machine. Descaling removes mineral deposit from the thermoblock and heating element, which is a major reason of low performance.

Once you have descaled the machine you can make fresh coffee. It's important to rinse the machine after each use to prevent a build-up coffee grounds and oil. If you have a separate milk container or steam wand, empty them and clean them after every use. It's also a good idea to run a cleaning cycle once or twice a month to keep your machine running smoothly and avoid the build-up of scale. If you don't follow this the machine will notify you to run a clean cycle. The process does not need to be run immediately after the warning, but it must be completed within a short time.

3. Easy to maintain

If you're looking to maintain a low-maintenance machine this is a great option. It's one of the few models we tested that automatically cleans and drains after each use, which helps reduce mineral build-up and ensures a clean, fresh taste. It also comes with a selection of drink settings and is compatible with Nespresso's latest L'OR BaristaXXL capsules which contain more coffee than the standard Nespresso pods. However, it does have several drawbacks, like its pricey pricing and erratic the frothing quality.

The Pixie is the tiniest and cheapest Nespresso model that is available and is a great option for those looking for a simple single-serve coffee maker. Its sleek design and low-profile water tank make it an ideal option for spaces that are tight, and Nespresso capsule machine its internal drink library places many cafe standards like lattes and cappuccinos at your fingertips at the push of one button.
