Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nespresso CitiZ C120 Automatic and programmable Espresso and Lungo Machine w/Frother, Fire-engine red
Customer Review: Very satisfied--highly recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me first say that I did a lot of research before buying the Nespresso CitiZ with Aeroccino. In this price range, everything I read pointed me to this machine. I have been using the machine for one month now.
My reactions after one month:
(1) Very solid, well-made machine. There is not one part of this machine that feels or looks cheap.
(2) The espresso shots and longer shots the CitiZ pulls and pours are delicious. Beautiful crema, full enticing bouquet (if I may be so lame to use that word).
(3) Experiment with a wide variety of Nespresso capsules. My favorite is the Ristretto (10--strongest), but I also like the 9 and eight. The machine comes with a full sampler. Pay close attention to which ones you really like and which ones are merely meh.
(4) Espresso capsules for this machine can be purchased only via the Nespresso Club online. Capsules are 55 cents each and you have to order at least 50 at a time. 2-day shipping is the cheapest they offer and it's $6.95. Their shipping is FAST. You don't want to run out of capsules, but if you do, you won't be shaking for too long. :)
(5) Rinse out the machine regularly. It's a painless process that is explained in the user manual. I have some descaling powder on its way to me in the mail as I type this, so I can't give any feedback yet about the descaling process.
(6) I recommend changing the water in the reservoir each day. The fresher the water, the better the shot.
(7) When using the Aeroccino, be absolutely certain that you fill it with milk NO HIGHER than the lines indicated on the inside wall of the Aeroccino. And if you change from the minimum foam thingie to the maximum foam thingie inside the Aeroccino, be sure you fill to the lower line. Trust me on this one. If you overfill the Aeroccino, you will have a mess on your hands.
(8) If you ignore what I said in #7, it is likely milk got under the black plate that runs down the right side of the unit (with the ring at the end of it that goes around the Aeroccino's base. If you do not clean under that black plate, milk will curdle under there and start stinking to high heaven. I found this one out the hard way. Pretty nasty, but it was my fault, mostly because I didn't realize the milk would seep under there if I overfilled the Aeroccino.
(9) I figure it will take me half a year of use to cover the money I spent to buy this machine. From there, it's mostly gravy except for the cost of capsules and milk. My days of paying $2-4 per espresso drink are done.
I highly recommend the CitiZ. And I'm not an easy person to impress. I think you will love it, too.
