Breville Nespresso Pixie BEC400

Great compact coffee machine – Coffee taste is comparable to the taste testers you would get served in store. It is very easy to use and easy to clean with the descaling kit. I use it for one coffee per week and haven't had any issues with it so far. Compact and easy to store, ongoing cost of maintenance is low.  Show details

Nice – It's really easy to use and i learnt to use it really fast. Its also really easy to clean. It makes making coffee much easier and it's delicious. It's a bot expensive and the pods also cost a lot, but it is worth it for fulfilling my coffee addiction everyday.  Show details

Great coffee machine – I am very happy with how it makes coffee from capsules, the taste is very good. It's very simple and easy to use. It is also very easy to clean. Overall I highly recommend this coffee machine. It looks nice on the counter top and creates great coffee. Good purchase  Show details

Good with milk – We had one of these in the office. All it can do is to get you a cappuccino and not much variety. It works great with the milk. Milk foam tastes good. Generally quite easy to clean. Easy to use. Coffee tastes ok. Still prefer getting coffee at a local cafe tho. An OK choice for busy people...  Show details

Slightly disappointed – Taste was not best at first try it got better when id had a few, I guess it needed to be worn in, then it was nice. Definitely was an easier to use coffee machine. I've hated most other machines due to cleaning them, but This one was better, yum  Show details

I like it & think it's good value for money! lol – Like I stated previously above & earlier on in my review I like it & think its good valvue for money! lol :p In saying that thou i also think there are alot better value for money coffee machines other then this one out there lol Anywho's that's just my opinion but each to there own. lol  Show details

I love my Nespresso machine so much!!! – I purchased the Breville Pixie in Electric Red for my birthday this year. Waking up to fresh espresso each morning in my own kitchen is excellent! It is easy to use and quick as a flash! The nespresso pods are delicious and i have found many flavours i like. The machine is also easy to assemble and clean and it doesn't take up much of my bench space. Highly recommend  Show details

Waking up is great – To wake up in the morning to know you can have some fantastic coffee. It is easy to use, doesn't need much cleaning. Coffee has got the correct temperature and very tasty. No need to buy expensive coffee at the coffeeshop Only drawback, machine is somewhat noisy, but that's the only thing to mention  Show details

Can't live without my morning coffee! – Great little machine, we order the capsules online they almost literally come the next day! The range of flavours is excellent. We like a strong espresso one. I would say 1 out of 20 sometimes is a little bitter. Mostly consistent. Convenient and easy to easy to use. So quick!!  Show details ·  1

Compact – It makes coffee which it good because that’s it’s job basically, it’s nice and compact and stylish so it’s not a burden to have around the house, it fits in nicely and does it’s job. Pretty easy to use nothing too complicated about it, anyone could figure out how to use it really.  Show details

Great for me, easy to use and affordable – Was looking for a good coffee machine that does not break the bank. I came upon this unit which has metal body and sleek enough. The coffee pod came in various flavour and satisfied my caffeine craving. Usage is very simple, there are like only 3 buttons there. There are the power button, and 2 coffee size buttons. Bear in mind im not a coffee mania, but in my opinion this still better than the instant coffee.  Show details

Great machine – This is a great machine that delivers coffee that is hot and tastes as it should. It is very easy to use and clean. The only criticism is the drip tray is magnetically attached and therefore can be separated from the machine base, but this is minor. Overall, very happy.  Show details

Happy – I am completely satisfied with this machine, it is easy to use, makes beautiful creamy, frothy great tasting coffee. Love the look of the machine and it is easy to store. I would highly recommend this machine.Also the pods are very easy to order and there is very good variety of flavours. Also I really like their 24 hour service.  Show details

Great coffee – The coffee is made well (especially with Brasilia pods!!!). So creamy. The frother is so great too. Only bummer is it requires two plugs for both machine and frother, thought it was going to be connected (all in one machine). However, it's easy to clean. Have has for 7 months with no problems  Show details

Perfect Machine and cant live without it – We have been more than happy with the Nespresso Pixie. Simple to use and great tasting coffee. Great after service for any problems. The machine is easily cleaned and pods are easy to order. Nespresso have a first class 24 hour service. The variety of coffee pods is outstanding. Highly recommended  Show details

GOOD QUALITY ,COMPACT AND NICE LOOK – Happy with the taste of the coffee from this machine and also very easy to use. Machine is very compact and perfectly fits in a corner of my kitchen. Its also very easy to clean and maintain. But not happy with the frother as the milk is not hot enough to drink and using microwave to get the desired temperature.  Show details

Excellent and Easy – This model is very small and compact but still with enough room to use a large mug by lifting the drip tray. Very happy with the tastes of the coffee. Easy to set the function buttons to save your favourite coffee style (short, long, in between etc). Milk frother works great as well and is easy to clean.  Show details

Great coffee choices – I upgraded to the nespresso from the Aldi Expressi mainly due to the wide variety of coffee pods available for nespresso branded machines. The machine has a very small footprint and very easy to clean and dispose used coffee pods. My only complaint is that in my opinion the shots are not hot enough.  Show details

Great machine – Easy to use an nice and compact. Only issue is that it only has 2 size buttons - default set to small and lungo. These can be reprogrammed to your own volume (if you want middle shot). I have been too lazy to try this and just opt for using small twice and stopping slightly early. Great as the pod doesnt auto eject. Great temperature and milk frother is separate which suits me  Show details

Compact and quick – Produces great coffee, heat the water very quickly and easy to use with just two buttons (espresso and double espresso). It can squeeze in almost everywhere. It will warn you when the water level is too low as well, which I find very useful. I wish it had a bigger water and capsule containers. Water is about 0.7L and capsule container is full after around 6 usages.  Show details

This is the coffee machine you need – It is extremely easy to use, all you need to do is buying delicious nespresso capsule and turn on the machine. It also makes excellent milk. The foam is so smooth and the temperature is perfectly controlled. The machine looks good in my kitchen and matches with other appliances very well.  Show details

suits my needs – The machine does the job without fail. I have to choose the right flavour though as at times capsules at purchased for me Do not wish to replace or upgrade at presaent as I do not think there is one around that would be better for my needs Great machine great coffee  Show details

Indulge yourself anytime – Easy to use and clean.Gave as a gift to my son and he is able to treat both himself and myself to different flavoured coffees when ever he feels like a change from his jar coffee.The Coffee is rich and aromatic.I prefer weaker coffee,so I just add extra milk.My son uses it almost daily. Cleaning is easy, just rinse out.  Show details

Good machine! – Very happy with this nespresso machine I purchased from Myer, the machine makes really good coffee. Price reasonable, only issue is it makes a little noise when in use. Easy to refill and clean. With the milk frother, it is very easy to make Latte. Highly recommend this coffee machine!!  Show details

Really poorly made product – I will never recommend this product to anyone. I bought the machine 2 years ago and I noticed it started to leak a few days ago. Unfortunately for me the machine is no longer under warranty. The warranty expired 2 months ago. The machine isn't exactly cheap and therefore I would never have expected it to fail on me after 2 years. Definitely a fail… Read more

and would never buy again. Plus nespresso wants to charge me to get it fixed and I was a ongoing customer. Not acceptable.

Need the coffee, will never buy a Breville again – The 1 star is for the convenience. The coffee taste great when you have microwaved the milk for 120secs, as the milk frother/aerator/heater burns on the bottom and builds up burnt milk stains. Neither milk frother lasted more than an month of regular use before this burned milk stain build up appeared and I found it easier to microwave the milk… Read more

in the cup as this warms the cup also.

It is sooo much easier to use and clean when the microwave is involved in the making of the coffee.

Due to the water that leaks into the drip tray (from the second cup ever) at a rate of 5%-95% of water flow this machine has become a roulette wheel to use. The clean up could take longer than it takes to drink the coffee if your not careful and monitor the leakage into the drip tray. The drip tray frequently needs to be emptied after every second cup of coffee made. This is totally annoying and the main reason why I will never buy ANOTHER Breville coffee machine EVER.

Absolutely love it – Every morning I enjoy a wonderful cuppocinno with my machine and milk frother which I bought with it - easy to clean little maintenance its tge best thing I ever bought

Great coffee machine – I started with a woolworths machine, used an expressi aldi one then decided on a nespresso breville pixie. The pixie is a superior machine in terms of producing a great espresso with a genuine crema. As a result, I bought one for work too. I know the nespresso pods are quite expensive, but they are a great coffee and this machine does a great job extracting a nice espresso or lungo from each pod.

Not at all bad – This will never replace a coffee made by a serious coffee café but, it's definitely a step up from instant coffee. I like my coffee strong, so the most intense capsule 10 is only JUST strong enough. Nespresso is currently selling Cubania Limited Edition with an intensity of 13 and that is much better. I haven't had a problem with the frother… Read more

burning the milk, or the sound level, but I warm my cups in the microwave first to ensure a hot cup. My Pixie is just back from a holiday on Kangaroo Island (packed in the boot) and it was a life-saver as cafés were few and far between and the coffee was pretty bad. Money well spent as far as I am concerned.

Great little coffee maker – I'm really enjoying my Pixie which I bought only a week ago to replace an Aldi Expressi (no longer heating water, not worth fixing). I've only tried 2 types of coffee pods so far & liked both as both lovely smooth taste, as described, not too strong & no bitter taste. Aerochino milk frother works really well & I've had no problems cleaning it. I… Read more

was told to rinse with water before using to create a film to stop milk burn on the bottom. I've even made hot chocolate milk by adding chocolate Quick into the frother!! At max level the frother creates just enough froth for two people. I was limited in how much I could afford for a new coffee maker so am pleased with my purchase. $60 cash back offer was a good selling point too. Fairly quiet, quick, easy to use, good froth, great small size if you are limited for bench space. Pods not easy to get quickly. Limited outlets or buy online which incurs a postage charge. Nespresso please make pods available in supermarkets!!

Good for a solo coffee drinker with a busy schedule! – My husband bought me this machine for mother's day. I never thought I would buy a capsule machine. But guess what-I love it! As a full time working mother of two I needed something that didn't make a mess, was quick, and and made a decent cup. And it does! I have no problems with milk burning either-if anything the milk could be a tad hotter. But… Read more

you know what? when you have to be out the door this is perfect.

Also I have used Podista and Lavazza capsule with no problems at all. Mess free, quick, decent

Don't do it! – Look, I'm not a coffee snob - obviously, since I bought an automatic coffee machine - and I didn't have particularly high expectations of this coffee machine, but it's failed on every level. The coffee is extremely weak in caffeine and flavour - I've long been refilling the pods with coffee I actually like and using four capsules per cup. The drip… Read more

tray quickly overflows. The aerochino milk frother is difficult to clean and burns milk easily - it's a daily annoyance. And it's loud! Really loud. Espresso machine loud. So it's a pretty high maintenance coffee machine, and makes a weak, expensive and 'loud' cup of coffee. I'm drinking more instant coffee these days because I can't be bothered with cleaning it.

Now I don't know whether to go back to my old faithful (coffee plunger), or try the Technivorm - any suggestions?

If you still think this is a good option for you, please email me, or look out for a pixie and aerochino with five years' extended warranty on Sydney Gumtree. But don't do it to yourself. Save your money, and buy... absolutely anything else.

Weak, tasteless coffee. Loud. Difficult to clean milk frother. And expensive capsules.

Great machine - horrible Aerochinno – Got my Nespresso pixie with Aerocchino 3 for Christmas. The actual coffee machine is great - works a dream and is so easy to clean. The Aerocchino, however, is a nightmare. I followed all the tips online to clean it yet it still burnt milk and overheated. I've just had to organise a replacement through Nespresso. Easy to operate, easy to clean Aerocchino is a horrible

Waste of money bad service – Coffee machine tripped circuit breaker after only 3 weeks has now been away for service for 4 weeks very disappointed!
