- Uses convenient pods or ground coffee with the patented dual function filter holder.
- Patented "Cappuccino System" frother which mixes steam and milk to create a rich, creamy froth for perfect drinks every time
- Always brew espresso or at the perfect temperature with two separate thermostats - water and steam pressure is controlled separately
- High-quality stainless steel boiler and 15 bar pump pressure
- Excellent clearance between the bottom of the filter holder and the base. I have a nice size cappuccino mug (in addition to standard espresso cups) and it fits perfectly. Apparently this is a problem with some other machines.
- Two size filters - one for single shot and one for double shot espressos.
- Filters also use the ESE pod system if you're into that. I don't use pods.
- Large, easily removable and cleanable water holder.
- It looks great. All silver, mostly metal. Doesn't have any of that cheap looking black plastic.

- Single-serve automatic espresso maker for use with coffee-filled capsules
- Integrated Aeroccino for creating milk-based coffee drinks at the touch of a button
- Espresso and lungo buttons; 19-bar pump; energy-saving mode; 1-liter removable water tank
- Used-capsule container; removable drip tray; folding cup support
- Measures 14-3/5 by 9-2/7 by 11 inches
- Very solid, well-made machine. There is not one part of this machine that feels or looks cheap.
- The espresso shots and longer shots the CitiZ pulls and pours are delicious. Beautiful crema, full enticing bouquet (if I may be so lame to use that word).
- Experiment with a wide variety of Nespresso capsules. My favorite is the Ristretto (10 is the strongest), but I also like the 9 and eight. The machine comes with a full sampler.
- I recommend changing the water in the reservoir each day. The fresher the water, the better the shot.
