Nespresso CitiZ machines have 2 more variants of the machine. You can buy the Nespresso CitiZ & Milk which has a built in included Aeroccino – Nespresso automatic milk frothing device. You can also get the Nespresso CitiZ & Co which is basically a double head machine with two separate coffee brewing units, combined with elegance. With Nespresso it’s all about design and in my opinion they are big winners once again.

After 4 capsules, the Nespresso Citiz with Milk overflows all over your work surface. It is supposed to cope with 10 capsules before you need to empty it. This is a serious design fault. My machine has been returned twice but is no better. A shame because the coffee is good

Overall a good machine and the coffee capsules are good products which (so far) have provided a consistent quality.
The machine looks good, produces coffee very quickly (even from start up), is very easy to use and the instruction manual is one of the better ones (yes I actually read it). To date (I have only had the machine for a month), my only complaints are with the design of the machines water tank lid and the used capsule container – drip tray assembly.
I have discovered the shape of the water tank and its lid and the absence of a lid handle means the lid can readily fall into the water tank. Not a huge problem but a pain if the tank has just been filled (especially if you have water quality issues and use bottled water).
As for the used capsule container – drip tray assembly. I think the manner in which they are connected/stacked (the capsule container simply sits on top of drip tray) means the capsule container will eventually fall when the capsule – drip tray assembly is being removed or replaced. I suspect a fall from an expected handling height to the floor will likely damage the capsule container.
These points aside, as stated I am happy with the machines look, build quality and ease of use.
I would recommend it.

I have received a Nespresso ES 50 coffee machine as a present. Which type of capsule does it use. Thank you for your prompt reply.

Hi Stephen,
All Nespresso coffee machines use the same capsule system developed by Nespresso.
Read more in this post.
Enjoy!

what is the difference between the Nespresso CitiZ by Krups and the same by Magimix, all i can see is the cosmetic difference of the nozzle, is there any other difference?
help.
August 15th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
As far as I know that is the difference. Same technical specification.
In the US for example, there is just one type of machine and it is branded Nespresso and not Krups or Magimix.
Enjoy!

Have just purchased a Magimix M190
Would like to know of any comments regarding ( and I know we all have different tastes ) as to readers preference of Nescaffe pods to use for a cappuchino. Also are there chocolate pods available ?
Thanks in advance

The coffee is generally good however; the store (boutique) service is terrible. I joined there club last year, what a waste of time.
I have two machines and get lots of literature on new coffees which is good, each letter they send you tell you to go and try it in one of the shops.
Even though I’m a regular purchaser of their products they have always refused to let me try any of the new coffees in store, explaining that this is only done if you are intending to purchase another machine.
I have today asked their customer services why they send their clients, like me, literature to the contrary. Their reaction, well we’ll take you off the mailing list? They have the worst customer services anywhere in the world for selling what is described as a luxury product.
Come on Nespresso, treat your loyal customers with some respect, don’t attempt to get use to buy more machines (I already have two!) by lying about your stores willingness to try a new product.

I am thinking about buying a CitiZ but my daughter is a hot chocolate lover. Cn I use hot chocolate capsules in this machine?
October 4th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
No hot chocolate capsules for Nespresso!
If you buy the CitiZ & Milk, you can use the built in Aeroccino milk forther to make so hot milk and use it with an instant hot chocolate.
Or try a different system – Maybe Nescafe Dolce Gusto is better for you (It has hot chocolate capsules in their range).
Check out the Dolce Gusto Cilcolo review on the blog.

For the Citiz & Milk, does it include an Aeroccino PLUS or is it just the old Aeroccino?
Thanks.

Have just purchased a Magimix Citiz M190 and discovered it is made in China (label underneath). However the exact same model on display in the shop was made in Switzerland. Does anyone know what the deal is with this?
January 4th, 2011 at 4:36 am
@Bonnie:it actually includes the Aeroccino 3.
I don’t know how it compares to the original or the plus.
Personally, I would buy them separately (if I liked milk in my coffee) since the combo machine has a huge footprint, defeating the purpose of the Citiz’ slim profile.
