DeLonghi Nespresso Pixie

Leaks water and not filling cup – We have our coffee machine few years but now when you go to make coffee the water fills up the caps rubbish holder instead of the cup I rang for advice and they just told me to buy new one Show details

Barely used and now leaking! – It is good machine when it works, ( no wonder my husband refused to use it, he has his own Italian machine for his ' real ground coffee'!) However, after just over 2 years ( I am the only one who uses it in my family) it is now leaking! I rang Nespresso today and they told me to pay $75 to get it fixed or they have offered me a second option to… Read more

buy a new one at 40% off? I wonder why would I want to buy ANOTHER NESPRESSO machine When the one I have had now barely used and is already LEAKED water out of the water container????? Obviously it shows Nespresso machine is not built to last and conveniently broken down just after 2 years warranty? I am not sure what to do, should I throw the machine away and forget about the Nespresso coffee for good?! ( well I have 2 weeks to decide before Nespresso GENREOUS offer is expired! I do not feel Nespresso company are helping their customers/ consumers in resolving their issues by ' suggesting' me to buy new machine after 2 years, is it meant I will have to buy another new one after every 2 years since their Nespresso machines are not reliable and lasting???? I am not happy with their solutions and stuck with neither of the options that I am HAPPY with!

Pretty good – Makes a great cup of coffee with great crema, looks stylish and takes up very little room in our small kitchen. It does have some minor problems but the quality of the coffee it produces surpasses all the imitators and the build quality seems much more robust so we're very satisfied with it. We had a problem where it failed to pour the entire… Read more

shot through a couple of capsules but Nespresso provided us with a complimentary pack to make up for it and reminded us that we still had over a year left on the warranty in case it happened again so their service felt pretty good in that respect.

The big negative is that the first shot when it's powered up each time is nowhere near hot enough. I find that I need to run two long shots with no capsule to warm it up before pouring a shot with the capsule and by the time you do two long warm up shots then make two coffees the water level is running a bit low. Pours a great shot of coffee, Compact size, Looks great, Feels robust First shot after powering up isn't hot enough, Tank capacity is small

Small, stylish and great tasting coffee! – I always enjoyed having cafe style quality coffee but without the hassle of grinding beans and frothing milk as I have nerver owned or operated a coffee machine before. I didn't want to spend a fortune on one or spend so much time making it plus I didn't have much bench space in my small kitchen. I bought one for my husband as a birthday gift… Read more ·  1

and it is the gift that keeps on giving! I absolutely love the included aerocino frother that makes perfectly frothed milk for a cappucino or just change the attachment to make a flat white. It's so easy to use that my 5 year old daughter can make me coffee and froth the milk herself at the touch of a button.

The kids love having babycinos and warm frothy milo's in the morning, and often fight over who gets to press the button.

We liked it so much that when there was a Delonghi Factory Sale, we bought 2 more as gifts for $220 each.So now I can enjoy cafe quality coffee everytime I visit my mum.

I've had the machine for 18 months now and still works well but just a little noisier when operating compared to mum's one which is 4 months old.

Nespresso flavour coffees taste great and have a fairly big range, but can only buy online or from their speciality boutiques. Woolworths sell Piazza Doro Coffee capsules specially made for Nespresso which is convenient and tastes reasonably ok compared to Nespresso but a whole lot better than instant Nescafe Cafe Menu satchels or instant. Compact and sytlish, easy to use and comes with frother. Can't put your own choice of coffee. Can only froth milk for one cup of coffee at a time.

Love this machine! – Cant start my mornings without this machine! Ive had this machine for 8+ years and still works perfectly! So easy to clean and use! Love it so much and would recommend this machine to everyone! Show details

Super Easy, consistent performer! – I wanted a quick and easy coffee experience at home and bought this machine after a Taste Test in-store at a Good Guys. I purchased this machine as the frother was independent of the main unit and had been advised by friends that frothers could sometimes fail - but mine hasn't missed a beat! Both the main pod unit and frother are very compact… Read more

which is great in a small kitchen like mine. I have tried many pods but pretty much stick to Nespresso Capriccio as my go to pod. Coffee taste from this machine is incredibly consistent and the process is so easy, i'd be hard pressed to ever want to move to a larger, manual machine.

Nespresso pod - My experience – Background:- We have had many coffee machines over the years. At the moment we have three. One is a barista machine and get used each the morning. Another one only expresses coffee but is not used. Things changed when we tried a pod machine while Show details

Good enough for a quick coffee too start your day – Easy to use, as I mentioned before it is a coffee machine that can make quick coffees. It is very easy to use and clean, it comes with Milk forther which I use on a regular basics to make babycino for my three years old. Generally it's good machine and we loves its  Show details

Good quality for a limited time – Very easy to use, good range of coffee flavours, neat and tidy little machine . I found the milk burns easily in the bottom of the frother though which is hard to clean afterwards . Seems to have lost the pressure it originally used to run the water through each capsule.  Show details

Coffee Machine – I bought the machine awhile back and it is ok I would not go ape over it but as said it is ok. I like a coffee in the morning and the price of the pods are not worth it in my opinion. Most times I just make my coffee the old fashioned way.  Show details

Standing the test of time – Purchased the Nespresso Pixie in 2015, it was the first appliance I purchased for my new property and it was a great decision. The machine has not had any issues and continuously produces beautiful coffees. The machine is also very user friendly, it has 3 buttons only! However, the accompanying aeroccino milk frother could be improved. The milk… Read more

frother often overflows even when the milk poured is well below the max line. I’ve found that you can prevent this from occurring if you simply do not use the milk frother lid at all. Otherwise, the appliance is great.

Better still, customer service at my local Nespresso is awesome. Staff are so helpful and happily provide samples to ensure that I purchase capsules knowing that when I take them home, I know what I’m in for as I’ve already samples it in store.

This is the perfect machine! Love it – This is the perfect machine! Love it. Easy to use, great selections of pod flavours. It made the perfect cup every time. Even my husband using it! Does not take up much bench space too. Great value for money. Show details

Can’t live without it – Very easy product to clean and use. I love how I can make a coffee in the morning and only push 2 buttons. I can’t live without this thing! We have had it for 4 years now and it is still working as brand new Show details

Definitely worth the money – I've been using my trusty old Pixie for over 7 years now and whilst the milk frother is on it's way out (red light keeps flashing) it has done some solid service. I remember thinking it was a bit pricey when I bought it, but to be fair it has been worth every cent, especially if you grab the cheaper pods! I drink latte's and with a Nespresso… Read more

you can make a coffee that's just as nice as it would be from the local cafe so would definitely recommend.

Love this small, compact and easy to use machine – Absolutely love our delonghi machine. It's a great, small size, and basic/easy to use. I know its possibly at the bottom of the scale when it comes to delonghi machines, but it does the job, everyone can work it easily enough, and last but not least, it's survived 6-7 years now without a hitch!. Amazing. We are so happy with it.  Show details

Functional and practical – Bought this for 3 years now, it’s small & practical bcos I have a small bench to put this on in the kitchen which doesn’t take up a lot of space. Also I’m glad that it’s lasted this long as it was good value. Only issue I had was that the machine could no longer puncture the coffee capsules but this was easily fixed by cleaning the machine parts which was part of wear & tear from long term use.  Show details

Great little cofee maker – I like this more the longer I have it. When I got it for christmas I was a bit underwhelmed (was not a pod coffee fan) but little by little it has won me over and I see its place in the scheme of things. It's just so fast to make a coffee and tastes a lot better than instant so I use it for an intermediate fix. Really quick and clean to use.  Show details

Use this constantly – I have been using this machine a few times every day since 2015. It is faultless to operate. Perfect coffee every time! Very easy to use and I have not had any maintenance issues to date. This is just the right amount of utility and very simple to program. It it the first thing that I go for every single morning in the kitchen!  Show details

Great coffee, easy to use – Love the flavour it gives to each coffee, very compact and easy to use. To clean it’s quite easy, definitely rescale it yearly as it makes a big difference to the coffee quality. Aerocino can be hard to clean and the pixie can sometimes leak water if overfilled. Good way to start with Nespresso  Show details

Good little machine – I found this to be a good little machine. The coffee tastes pretty good although it tends to need milk as it doesn't taste that great just black. The frothing device that you can purchase with it is also good although you have to be careful as milk can stick to the bottom of it as it warms and it can be difficult to clean off.  Show details

Great coffee machine – I bought two of this coffee machine. One for myself and one for my dad. It is very easy to use and easy to clean. The machine is quick to heat and easy to set the water level. Part can be pull apart to clean often. I have had this machine for 5 years and still very happy with it!  Show details

Very good – Although the pods are pricey the machine is good for a good fast coffee and in the early morning. Has not given me any issues except when cleaning where the coffee liquid seems to go outside the pod catcher. looks good and its modern design, works well in in the kitchen not just as a functional device but also as an aesthetic device.  Show details

Great, practical machine – The nespresso coffee capsules variety are endless. It may not be as great as the traditional coffee machine but it is very practical & easy to use. We just have to put in the capsule & it will be ready in a minute. As long as you ensure the cleanliness after use, you don’t need to do any special cleaning.  Show details

Stylish Coffee Maker – Bought one after our previous Nespresso machine gave up on us and have loved using it. Easy to use and clean, and the Nespresso ecosystem is great in terms of pod availability and range - however they can be a bit on the pricier side. Have yet to try non-Nespresso pods with this although I have heard they work. The pixie clips are a great… Read more

addition, allowing you to add a bit of flair and colour if you want to, and are easy to swap out. The Aeroccino is great too if you like frothed milk. Machine has worked perfectly so far!

Gift that keeps giving on a daily basis – Although the pods a little dearer (always research this before jumping in) it was a little bit of luxury that was worth it every early morning. Has not given me any issues and the aeroccino froths the milk great. Very stylish and modern design, fits into the kitchen not just as a functional device but also as an aesthetic device.  Show details

It does the job – I received this machine as a gift and think it’s a pretty good I love the taste of the Nespresso pods (particularly the rosabaya ones) and I find the machine is pretty simple to operate. It doesn’t take up too much space on the bench and isn’t ugly to look at.  Show details

Good product for the price, tasty coffee – This machine is extremely simple to operate, and the coffee produced is to a high standard. Although not the best coffee capsule machine on the market, for the price point at which this is available, it is unbeatable. Cleaning is extremely easy, with all parts removable and can be washed in the dishwasher. The aerochino attachment is useful and works well.  Show details

Good machine – I rarely drink coffee but this was a gift. This is a great value for capsules coffee. It has all functions you need and very simple to do the coffee. I would recommend the authentic coffee capsules from Nespresso as I do feel they have the best pods available compared to some cheaper ones  Show details

Best purchase ever! – The coffee pods direct from Nespresso are by far better than cafe quality. Making my own coffee each day is all the more satisfying and is consistently spot on. Great for value for money, can be easily taken to the workplace if necessary ( the guys on the job site are always happy with a latte at smoko) and perfect for a cuppa in the evening.  Show details

Pretty good now there are more pod options – This one has a good compact form factor so it does look obtrusive on the counter. The coffee extraction is good and now there are more pod options at the supermarket it’s good to try different brands. Cleaning is easy just put the tray in the dishwasher. Milk frothed could be better.  Show details

Best coffee machine ever – It is so easy to use, pop a pod in and press the relevant button (whether its an espresso of cap etc). Cleaning the milk part is a bit hard but worth it. The coffee tastes amazing as long as it is descaled very few months!! Highly recommend, I purchased it with an $80 cash back which made it more amazing.  Show details

Great machine – Can't be without a Nespresso. We had a challenge with out existing machine (4 years old) and were given this machine as a gift while we worked out what to do with our other machine. The Pixie is super simple and just works. No gimick's just consistently good coffee all the time. On another note Nespresso fixed our machine other machine as well. We have such a good run with Nespresso, great coffee and great service. Can't ask for more really.  Show details

save your money! – Why pay $5 once or twice a day when you can buy this bewt little machine and the capsules from Nespresso taste just as good if not better, and are so reasonably priced. If your looking for a cawfee machine this is your one. Other capsules that fit can be bought from local supermarkets too which is a bonus.  Show details

Great compact coffee pod machine – This has been a very reliable, compact machine. The coffee tastes as good as I've bought at the cafe. Non genuine pods don't seem to work as well as the genuine ones the flow is slower. Easy to keep clean, easy to use- just press one button and voila! Great coffee at home  Show details

Original and Functional – We got the original pixie machine as a house warming gift, which worked well but started to leak even though maintained, so Nespresso replaced the machine later last year. It still leaks now and then but doesn't alter the coffee taste:) so we didn't do anything further about it, and keep using. We are aware there are new and updated models, but find the standard Pixie does the job and is a good value for money .  Show details
