Krups Nespresso EA9010 Review

The super-automatic Krups EA9010 creates excellent shots of espresso and top quality steamed milk cafe drinks with the press of an button. Its rock-star price tag and absence of manual controls could disappoint home barista hobbyists though.

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

1. Easy to use

There are plenty of options when you're looking for a coffee maker that is simple to use. One of our favorite is the Krups Nespresso Inissia. This compact machine is perfect for those who are single or Nespresso beginners as it is easy to set up and use. It also produces an extremely thick crema, and fill large mugs. Another advantage is that it's compatible with L'OR Barista XXL capsules. These can hold up to two times the amount of coffee as the smaller capsules.

The Inissia has a small tank that can make up to six espressos or luongos prior to having to be filled. It's also easy to clean, and has a handy place to store capsules that are no longer being used. You can also stop the process to make your coffee in a snap prior to going to work or school. But, it is important to note that if you don't do this step, your coffee could be a bit less strong than it would have been when you been patient and waited for the brewing process to complete.

Krups Nespresso Essenza Mini EA81 is a smaller machine that produces delicious coffee. It's the smallest machine in the OriginalLine range and comes with two sizes of coffee that include lungo and espresso. It's user-friendly and features an elegant modern design that's sure to look nice on your countertop. It includes a detachable cake container and drip tray as well as an adjustable water tank and capsule container. The machine also comes with a steam nozzle for making cappuccinos.

The water tank of the Essenza Mini is small, which means you'll need to refill it regularly. It also has a lower capacity for brewing hot water than other models with the same price. It is equipped with a conical grinder, which is ideal for those who don't want to buy a separate grinder. It's also easy to clean and maintain, and is able to be easily descaled using a special descaling powder. This model comes in many colors and adds style to any kitchen.

2. Easy to clean

Cleaning your Nespresso machine will ensure you get the highest quality espresso. A build-up can affect the quality and flow of your coffee. Caffeine & Tea cleaning capsules aid in preventing this and ensure that the coffee maker is running smoothly. Use these capsules once a month or every 30 cups to ensure that you enjoy the perfect cup, and keep your Nespresso machine in top shape.

Nespresso machines that rely on coffee or water, such as the Mini or Essenza, are easy to clean. The Lattissima line allows milk to be added to the equation. This can result in an abundance of froth which requires cleaning. Luckily, the EA9010 is among the few machines to make this process quick and easy. A door on the front of the machine opens to reveal a massive bucket that is used to store the grounds of espresso, also known as "pucks". The drawer is simple to take out and dispose of, while another drawer contains Krups' special cleaner.

The cleaners are then dissolved in water and then pumped through the machine before the cleaning process. After that, the tank and other components of the machine can be washed off with fresh water. According to the directions in the manual for your machine you can also add a descaler to your water tank after it has become empty. Descaling removes mineral deposit from the thermoblock and heating element, which is the primary cause of poor performance.

After you've descaled your machine, you can start making fresh coffee. Clean the machine after each use to prevent the buildup of coffee grounds or oil. If you have an individual milk container or steam wand, empty them and clean them after every use. It is recommended to run a clean-up cycle at least every two weeks to ensure that your machine is operating efficiently and avoid the buildup of scale. If you do not follow this, your machine will alert you to run a clean cycle. You don't have to begin the cycle right away when the warning appears but you should complete it within a short period of time.

3. Easy to maintain

If you're looking for an easy-to-maintain machine, this is a great option. It's also one of the few machines we tested that drains and rinses automatically after each use. This reduces the accumulation of minerals and gives fresh, clean tasting. It also offers a selection of drink settings and is compatible with Nespresso's newest L'OR Barista XXL capsules, which contain more coffee than the standard Nespresso pods. However, it does have some drawbacks, such as its pricey purchase and erratic frothing performance.

The Pixie is among the smallest and cheapest Nespresso models available. It's a great option to anyone who is looking for a single-serve espresso machine. Its compact design and low-profile water tank make it a great fit for tight spaces, and its internal drink library puts a variety of café staples such as cappuccinos and lattes at your fingertips with just the push of the button. Its only significant downside is that it doesn't include an milk frother, which can be a hassle for home baristas.

This machine isn't easy to maintain but it's an excellent choice for anyone looking for an instant and delicious cup of coffee. It has a small footprint and the capsule container can hold up 19 capsules. This makes it simple to get a refill and it is compatible with Nespresso's recycling program. It's compatible with L'OR Barista XXL capsules, which offer more coffee than regular Nespresso Pods.

After each use, keep your Krups nespresso machine clean by wiping the removable parts down with hot water and mild detergent. It is also recommended to empty the capsule bin and drip tray regularly. You'll also need to periodically descale the machine and the user manual should include an easy water hardness test strip so that you know when it's time.

Generally, you'll want to descale after around 1000 capsules. You may need to descale your machine more frequently when you live in a area with hard water. The machine's automated alert lets you know it's time for a descaling cycle and the process is fast and simple.

4. Easy to store

This Krups Nespresso is compact and small, making it easy to store. It also requires minimal maintenance, like emptying the capsule bin and washing the drip tray every now and then. It's a great choice for those who share a home with others and don't want have to worry about maintaining separate machines. It is powered by capsules from nespresso coffee pod machines and provides a limited selection of beverages, including espresso and black coffee. It is recommended that the machine be descaled at least every 1,000 capsules. You can find a descaling solution at most retailers that sell Nespresso products or purchase it directly from the manufacturer.

This Nespresso capsule coffee maker is among the easiest to clean, due to its reusable capsule container and absence of a frothing wand. Its small size makes it an ideal alternative for smaller spaces, and it's compatible with Nespresso Original Capsules. It is not as powerful as other models but can still create a delicious espresso or coffee.

This model is extremely simple to use, just like most other Nespresso models. Its minimalist design and one top-facing button control everything from turning on to brewing your beverage. It's also among the most affordable and compact machines available. It's only compatible with Nespresso-branded capsules, and it can only make black coffee. It's not the best choice for people who like cappuccino, latte or macchiato.

If you're looking to buy a simple yet elegantly designed Nespresso machine, the Krups Vertuo Plus is an excellent choice. It is compatible with Nespresso Ninja Barista System: Single-Serve And Nespresso Compatible XXL Capsules. These are larger than regular capsules and can be used to create larger mugs. It's simple to use and set up, making it a good option for those who are new to the world of coffee.

The machine can serve a wide variety of drinks that include popular choices such as an espresso, americano or cappuccino. You can even ask it to make "Red Eye", which is regular coffee enhanced with two extra espresso shots. It's important to remember that the capsules used have a slight odor that can be eliminated by leaving them in the water bowl. The machine also has an eco-friendly bag that can be dropped off at Nespresso capsule coffee machine boutiques and participating stores like Williams Sonoma for free.
