Nespresso Pixie

- Food
Original Line machine about 11 cm wide with metal side panels, a 0.7 L tank, 19-bar pump and about 25-second heat-up. Brews 40 ml espresso or 110 ml lungo; works with third-party Original capsules.
Original Line with a 0.7 L tank (vs 0.6 L on the Essenza Mini), the same 25-second heat-up and two cup sizes, and metal side panels. A step up if tank size or looks matter.
The Pixie sits between the Essenza Mini and the Lattissima One — a 0.7 L tank, the same roughly 25-second heat-up, and metal side panels on a compact body about 11 cm wide. Espresso is the same as the Essenza Mini, since both use 19-bar pump brewing with the same two cup sizes. Choose the Pixie if looks and the slightly bigger tank matter; skip it if you just want the cheapest Original machine.
Pros
- Larger tank than Essenza Mini (0.7 L vs 0.6 L) means fewer refills
- Same 25-second heat-up as Essenza Mini
- Metal side panels on a compact body
Cons
- Same espresso output as the cheaper Essenza Mini — the premium is for design and tank size
