Simplicity and speed. That is what Nespresso is known for. The Nespresso brand was founded by the Nestlé company in 1976 and has never looked back. You know how when you wake up in the morning and hit the snooze button on your alarm four times? Yeah, the Pixie was made for you. It is built with a snap, shut, and brew method that allows you to create quality espresso in only 25 seconds. That is not all it has to offer though. Check out our Nespresso Pixie Espresso Maker Chrome Review.

What Makes it Different?

The Pixie was made for the ‘must be quick’ and ‘on the go’ individual. So basically, it was made for everyone. We all have times when we are in a hurry. Sometimes we are just too polite to tell our chatterbox co-worker that you need a coffee and they need to take a breath or you might just go insane. You know the type.

This machine will look like gold sitting on your countertop or in your office. The best part, no one will ever think you got it for under $200. Let’s look at some more that the Pixie Espresso Maker Chrome wants to offer you.

Who knows how the machine works better than the makers? No one. So we definitely trust them to bring us the quality grounds.

What Other Espresso Dreamers Are Saying

Amazon Rating: The Pixie Espresso Maker Chrome is a beacon of all quality. It maintains a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and has received ZERO 3, 2, or even 1 star reviews. Espresso dreamers like you and us agree, this machine is something to write about. Here is what is being said.

 

Excellent when using the capsules especially for the Pixie. I also have (had given to my daughter) a plain Nespresso least expensive and had no problem with other makers of capsules. The best part of the newer Pixie is the automatic shut off and there are two “buttons” where you can select either the regular size or the Lungo size.”

 

“Bought two of these for our restaurant, they are little workhorses and take up much less room than a traditional coffee machine – with none of the maintenance.”

 

“Superior construction and quality beverage. I bought one for my office and had to get another for my house. The Pixie is made in Switzerland, unlike most. The quality is superb and I love how tiny it is and how quickly it dispenses.” Nespresso is not like other single serve coffee brands that make subpar versions of coffee beverages. The espresso tastes great and has perfect crema. While this makes espresso and lungo, you can get the style that makes American coffee.

 

It is perfect for home and office! If you have been searching for a new machine for a while, you know that ratings like this are hard to come by. We love it! Just like reviewers we recommend using the Nespresso Grand Cru coffee capsules because they will also create an incredibly rich crema.
