I love coffee but don't have a lot of room in my kitchen for a huge espresso machine, so when I saw the Nespresso c100t Essenza I was excited. I wanted to see if it would fit what I was looking for. I needed the Nespresso c100t Essenza to fit my space and be able to make a good espresso whenever I needed one.

It seems that more and more people are buying their own espresso machines, as the cost of a café coffee beverage continues to go up in price. I too wanted to become my own barista, which was why I was interested in the Nespresso c100t Essenza. This espresso machine was created for small areas, as its sleek and small design can be put on a small counter, an office, or even a dorm room. This is nice for those people who like professional quality but need something created for the space conscious.

The Nespresso c100t Essenza makes a café- quality espresso in a short amount of time. It uses pods (which are sealed coffee capsules) to make the espresso.I was a little put off when I first realized that the machine needed to use specific pods, but the fact that the espresso is in a pod is the whole reason why this is such a clean machine . You don't even see grounds. The only thing you have to worry about is whether the reservoir has water in it, and every few days you have to empty the pod receptacle. It's incredibly easy to use.

It also has a ThermaBlock heating component, which has been created to heat everything up very quickly. You don't have to wait so many minutes for the machine itself to warm up, and you know the water you're using is always going to be the correct temperature. Pretty much every morning, the first thing I do is turn the machine on. I'm amazed that even after 6 months I'm still using this thing daily. Not only does it produce good espresso, but it's also faster and easier than making a pot of coffee. Plus, the ThermaBlock automatically takes away the leftover water and refills it with fresh after every use.

Some say the Nespresso c100t Essenza can be too noisy, and having to purchase the coffee capsules from the company is expensive. However, for my humble needs, this espresso machine is ideal.
