Fantastic Machine – These are the advantages: 1) compact & does not take much bench space. 2) fantastic value for money at $99 for both the frother & pod machine. 3) fantastic & reliable frother that heats the milk well & makes great Crema. 4) the Nespresso pods are fantastic value for money. For example 50 Nespresso pods from eBay will set you back $7.90c. That's… Read more
15c a pod.
5) makes a great cuppa. 6) do not buy the Espressotoria machine because it's not compatible with the Nespresso pods.
6) avoid all the ALDI Expressi frothers because they're Not reliable.
Has design problem – This machine eats at least 1 in 8 pods. They don't always locate properly. When it works, it makes a decent coffee. The milk frother heats the milk really hot and makers lots of froth, so no complaints with that. It's no noisier than an espresso machine. I bought this machine on sale and I wish I'd bought a different one. Show details
EN80.BAE is a Hit and Miss coffee maker – I bought one of these on eBay on 30 September 2023 and unfortunately gave my feedback too soon. As one of the other reviewers has said, it's hard to get the coffee pod to sit accurately into its slot and if it's misaligned and the lever is pulled even slightly the pod becomes damaged and unusable. The coffee is fine when it works--hot and consistent--but I have wasted perhaps 20 pods since purchasing this machine and am about to give up on it. Show details

Ok but nothing special – Purchased this a Christmas present. It came with 14 sample pods, which had unfortunately passed their best before date! Even when inserting the pods as per the instructions I managed to 'lose' 3 pods on the first night as the machine simply refused to 'accept' them. Once the pods are slightly damaged they become redundant. Having said all of that… Read more
it does make 'ok' coffee. It came with a $40 coffee credit which has also met some hurdles, but after a live chat session with an agent, (which i could not fault) I have been promised the issue will be addressed....

A great addition to my kitchen – I received this as a birthday present and am obsessed! I never buy myself cafe coffees, I have always just had instant, so the fact that I can make nice frothy coffees at home is such a luxury. I use the Pod&Parcel coffee pods (they are biodegradable and taste incredible - I highly recommend them!), and this machine has never crushed any as some… Read more
other reviews have said. There are 2 settings, Espresso and Lungo, and you can reprogram them to change the amount of water that comes out in each setting by holding down the button instead of pressing it (I made the Lungo setting a bit shorter to get a slightly stronger coffee). The Aeroccino is amazing too, I use it on the frothy setting every time I make a coffee or hot chocolate and it is such a treat.
There are a couple of negatives to the machine though. While the tray flips up to accommodate larger mugs, it doesn't allow you to put the mug flush against the machine so unless you hold it on an angle, the coffee just spills down the side. Thankfully most of mine are small enough to fit with the tray down, but my travel mug doesn't quite slot in so I have to tilt it under the stream of coffee (only a minor inconvenience, really). It also doesn't quite make my drinks hot enough. The Aeroccino does warm the milk but not quite enough, and it doesn't work if you pre-heat the milk (the machine doesn't like being too hot so will just flash if you put hot milk in). As someone who likes my drinks HOT, it is not ideal, but it just means I drink the coffee a little quicker than usual instead of sipping away at it. Overall, I love the machine and am really glad I now own one.
Compact and good results – Great coffee, easy to use and clean. The unit is very compact and I like the lever action loading system for pods. It operates best on Nespresso pod and makes a great coffee. I've tried a number of cheaper pod brands with varying success. They all spout being Nespresso compatible and have in most cases produced reasonable coffees but the… Read more · 1
difference in the pod shapes from the real Nespresso pods can cause leakages around the pods and into the drip tray under the operating system.
I'm not a fan of all things Nespresso as I had a previous unit some years ago which touted Nespresso being wonderful but the ancillary equipment i.e.. frothers, also an integrated tray on which the Nespresso unit and frother stood with poor electrical coupling, etc were quickly replaced by an after market separate Aldi frother which lasted for years.
We purchased the current unit a few months ago as my wife and other family members liked the fact that it didn't clutter up our kitchen bench space and produced reasonable coffee. Value for money-yes..coffee tastes good-yes,
Pod selection availability- great. Do we use it on cheaper pods from the various supermarkets- yes BUT we regularly check to empty the spill tank when doing so.
All in all a great little machine.
Best purchase of my life! – I've always been a lover of coffee. I have very high standards and find nothing worse than a coffee that is burnt, bitter, weak, warm, too strong etc etc! Once I find a coffee I love I can easily buy at least 1 a day from there. I found the Aldi coffee machine to be good but I always found myself going to the shops to buy one anyway. I don't think… Read more
they are very strong as I was always having several to get my "hit" or buying one out. My husband purchased this for me as a "baby" gift. He knew I would be at home alot with my newborn and toddler and wanted me to still enjoy my cup of coffee! I'm so in love with the machine, on weekends he still offers to buy us a coffee but I insist on using my Nespresso as I will never be disappointed. We've tried several of the pods and there hasn't been one I don't like! It's a reliable machine, doesn't take up too much counter space and is super easy to clean. I'm so glad hubby purchased this for me and I would hate to think how much I used to spend on coffee per week. The customer service at Nespresso Miranda is fabulous too! They are a great group of people. So so happy with my purchase! You won't regret yours :-)

Value for money convenient quick – Now over 4 years old, average 2 coffees/ Cuppuchinos a day. Tip for the fussy, If you drink is not hot enough with milk heater frother, try this Step 1. Microwave heat 2/3 a cup of milk ( or as desired) to near boiling ( will froth up to the top ) Step 2. Place cup under Innisia coffee machine Step 3. Load capsule and crush … Read more
Step 4. Turn on the machine. press the button and wait for the flashing button lights to show permanently on ( This could be step one to save time while microwave/heat milk which will froth up near the boiling point Step 2 . Add Expresso ( 40ml) (left-hand button) or Lungo (110ml) ( right-hand buton) Bingo - heated to you desire
Note : ( 40 and 110mls are factory settings which can be extended by holding a finger on the respective button - that time will remain in memory for next time but can be put back to factory setting quite easily ( see instruction manual
Love my morning coffee with this machine – So easy to use, clean and looks great sitting on my kitchen bench. My only gripe is that the new style doesn’t allow for bigger mugs, if you flip the try up some mugs fit but depending on the shape some won’t fit under the spout so that’s a little awkward. Apart from that small design flaw I love my machine. Great tasting coffee made st home with ease... it’s a winner Show details
great little machine – So popular in our household im considering buying a second one so that i dont have to wait for everyone else!! Super easy to use, makes a pretty decent coffee - its no artisan barista coffee - but thats not why we buy it ...is it? For the price im not sure why you would use anything else. Show details
Negative reviews
This is garbage – It destroys every second pod because it's too hard too just drop it in and close it. Water runs for 2 seconda and stops. Save your money, I gave it one star because I couldn't give it zero! Show details
It’s OK! – I purchased online due to Covid lockdown, normally i like to see an appliance before purchasing. The POD alignment is critical, it destroyed 50% of my pods in the first few days! The Good Guys were very helpful, but currently you can’t go to the store to exchange (lockdown) so looks like I’ll just put up with this model. Show details
Eats capsules – Had to return machine for a refund as it kept bending capsules so they were unusable. The hole where you drop in the capsules is too big and if you don't get it perfectly positioned the above happens. Also a really fiddly and badly designed machine. Show details

Prefer other models – Coffee quality is ok. Makes two different size coffees, Espresso and Lungo. My previous Nespresso machine had the choice of three sizes and I prefer this option. Temperature of coffee produced I suspect is too hot because of the bitterness of the end product. I never had this problem with the previous models I have used. They both made very good… Read more
coffee. My model number is EN80BAE. It is the base model apparently but I don't think it delivers a quality coffee. I recommend purchasing one of the higher end models. Try before you buy.
So Disappointed – I love Nespresso Coffee & had a pixie machine for over 6 years however it slowly started playing up so decided to buy a new machine. I went to Myer & was told the Inissia was excatly the same but this is not the case. It is heaps louder, doesn't have a light change colour when the water is low, breaks capsules & always has heating issues. I've… Read more
called Nespresso so many times & have always had assistance in fixing the errors but it has been extreamly inconvenient & frustrating as my last machine was awesome.
Works great – Coffee machine works well makes delicious coffee and is a good little machine especially for the price! It is pretty easy to clean, easy to use and also doesn’t take up to much room in my kitchen definitely recommend this machine the coffee never disappoints me always great coffee 8/10 Show details
Awesome Pod Machine – We love this little baby pod machine. It gets used multiple time s a day and we always have lots of flavors ready to go. Its compact in size and very simple to operate. Just fill up the water tank, wait for it to heat up, bandg a pod i and you'll have a steaming cup of coffee a minute later. Ours have worked flawlessly and we would get the same model again. Show details
Most Used Thing In The Kitchen! – There is a que for this in the morning at our place! We have keep cups so everyone makes their coffee to go. It is a brilliant and compact little machine. Very simple and pleasing to use - easy to clean too. There is a big variety of pods to choose and you can even get self reloadable ones. Good results from a very popular machine! Show details
Love This Little Coffee Machine – I am very happy with this machine. I originally told the wife I didn't care either way if we got it but now I am converted. It really does make a delicious cup of coffee and its extremely easy to use. You just make sure there's enough water in the tank, choose a pod and hit the buttons. That's it, job done. There are tonnes of flavours available too. A good little unit. Show details
Can't live without this machine – This machine is compact, attractive, and gets the job done with minimal hassle. Every morning I can use it with ease and clean it just as easily. It doesn't have any finicky parts and is very straightforward and reliable. In fact, sometimes it is so simple and has so few buttons that I get a bit confused - more buttons or display areas would probably help. Show details
Great little machine – It makes coffee that tastes great. I can buy pods from other brands at woolies for aobut 35c a coffee, which is cheaper than official nespresso pods. The machine is super simple to use and clean, and cleverly designed - the front flap flips up which lets you make coffee into a bigger cup if you need. It's a great little machine, even if it does make some very strange sounds when making a coffee. Show details
I love this machine – It’s a little loud for the morning, but I couldn’t love this machine any more than I already do. It’s consistent and i have not had any dramas with it. Don’t know what I would do with out it haha. I use the machine religiously everyday and it extracts the perfect amount of coffee from the pods. So it’s a huge thumbs up! Show details

Great Coffee Machine – This machine is great value for the price. It creates great coffee in both the long and short shots. The milk frother on the side is quick, easy and efficient and very easy to clean. Occasionally the first coffee of the day tastes slightly burnt. Overall the coffee produced has been really good. The manual pod drawer seems like a better idea than the previous machine with an automatic pod drawer which has been problematic on other machines. Show details
Great easy simple machine – Great little machine. Makes a great espresso and lungo. I enjoy this machine so much since i got it. Fair price for this type of product. Only the coffee capsule it s a bit of a rip off , but it s not only for this machine! Taste is nearly as good as my local little coffee shop . I ve tried only 2 differents coffee so far but not dissapointed, i will buy a different capsules next time. Always enjoy , quick and easy to use. Show details
Good basic no nonsense machine, great price – I like the simplicity of this machine, with the manual handle for clamping the pods having the advantage of reliability over other Nespresso machines (the last one we owned, the motorised clamping/puncturing mechanism gave up, after a fair workout though). It's a bit on the noisy side, and a bit plasticky, but at the price i can put up with that. Show details
Simple Coffee Machine – I got this as a christmas present and It makes cheap high quality coffee. Compared to instant coffee this hands down is much better and was a lifesaver in terms of cost. I find the pods good value for money and the size of the coffee machine doesn't take up much space in the kitchen which is a massive bonus. Show details
Instant Coffee That's Actually Good – My Inissia is the perfect countertop coffee machine, especially when paired with the high-quality of Nespresso pods. I use Kazaar pods for a rich, intense coffee experience and have nothing but good words to say about my Inissia. Ease of use is second to none, simply insert your pod, push a button and voila, amazing coffee in an instant. Clean-up… Read more
is just as easy, simply empty the used pod container once its full. I love this machine and haven't touched instant coffee since!
Good value for money – It is a very good machine for these reasons, Making a high quality coffee. Cheap price, it is a good value for money . Small size, so it can fit anywhere in the kitchen . Easy to operate and use, very quick to prepare your favourite cup of coffee. Easy to clean. Show details
Great machine, too small for office use – Great Purchase, very easy to use, shared in office, possibly should have purchased a larger machine as it sees a lot of use everyday (Maybe 10 cups a day), and need to refill water container fairly often. Coffee taste great (When you use the proper pods), Very easy to use, and clean. Show details
Does its job and does it well – Everything about the machine is great - easy to clean, works quickly, simple to use. The coffee can be hit and miss, but that's easily changeable by buying different pods. I've had super noisy machines in the past - this one doesn't have that problem. An easy, simple and convenient way to get my caffeine fix each morning Show details
Decent pod coffee machine – I’ve had this coffee machine for a while now. It makes a decent cup of coffee. It’s ok without being fantastic. It’s reasonably quick and taste is good. It is easy to clean. It’s a half step above the coffee taste from the cheap pod machines. The Nespresso milk frother that is commonly sold with it as a package burns milk and isn’t non stick so try find the coffee machine on its own without the milk frother. Show details
Quick and easy! – I got this as gift from my parents as I don't always have time to grind coffee and pop it on my usual stove top coffee maker. It's so easy to use and makes a decent cup of coffee in no time! Can't fault the machine itself but pods will never be as good as the real thing. For convenience I would definitely repurchase. Show details
Compact coffee machine – Nespresso capsules required. You can also use many compatible competitor brands out there. Minimalist design means it will go with any kitchen decor or layout. Super fast and has very easy maintenance. Saves a lot of money over coffee bought in a cafe possibly with inferior taste. Happy with purchase Show details
Super hot... super coffee – Wow what a taste of coffee, such a hit. This will be hot coffee considering this machine like others, but this beats your local coffee shop for sure, the vaieties and different milk you can add in the comfort of your home. Such a simple machine to use, get your guest making there own coffee they will think its too simple. Cleaning methods are easy as a you tube video. Show details
Great & compact – I won the Nespresso Inissia as a prize a few months ago. Its a great little coffee machine as it is so compact. Have tried it with both Nespresso and non Nespresso pods and it had worked fine both times. Water can sometimes leak but doesn't cause too much of a mess. Show details
