Capsule systems · review
Two programmable buttons for espresso and lungo, with a drip tray that folds down for larger cups.
Where we land on it Two programmable buttons and a folding drip tray, at the top of this shelf by price with the shortest specification on it. You are paying for the Nespresso Original system, not for anything this listing publishes.
Four facts, one of which is about a tray. This is the shortest listing on the shelf and the highest price on it.
Not a pump figure — no Nespresso here publishes one, while the two cheapest machines on the shelf publish 19 and 20 bar. Not a heat-up time, which two Vertuo machines do give. Not a tank advantage: six machines publish one and four hold more than this.
You are buying the Original capsule range and a machine small enough to disappear. That is a real reason, and it is the only one this listing supports.
Read on the day this page was built: $190 at the American Amazon shop.
Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.
At $190, it is the 8 cheapest of the 8 models in this category published here.

Nothing in the listing explains it. Three Vertuo machines on this shelf were read between 159 and 161 dollars and publish six cup sizes, a tank figure and a heat-up time each. This one publishes two cup sizes and a tank. The price difference is not a specification difference.
You set the volume each button pours and it repeats it. The Pixie on this shelf has the same two selections without the word programmable in its listing, which is the one published difference between the two Original machines here.
The listing says the folding drip tray accommodates larger single-serve cup sizes and recipes, and drops down automatically when you remove your mug. No height is given. One machine on this shelf does publish a maximum cup height, and it is the cheapest one.
These coffee machines share the category and the price bracket. Only what each one states is shown; an incomplete column would mislead.
