I have owned the coffee machine for a year and purchased it from Nespresso. With the purchase, I placed an order for coffee and received a gift and a discount on the price from the company. Having one year of experience and purchasing over 800 genuine capsules, I have to say that it makes excellent coffee.
The cost of descaling is really low, and many times it is also offered at a discount by the company when placing orders. It really makes sense to choose the genuine descaling accessory and not use water and vinegar mixtures.
Additionally, go online and search for ways in which you can adjust the water quantity for each coffee selection button yourself. For example, I prefer a little more water for the lungo, and I have adjusted it. I consider it a great advantage.
It works the same with compatible capsules, but the taste of the coffee is different.
It is a good purchase and worth the money in any case.
In case you go on vacation, do not leave it with water. It will need descaling in order to be sanitized.

He made 20-25 coffee capsules in 2 months and then stopped working. From the service, they told me that the circuit board burned out and the repair, which is not covered by the warranty, costs 60 euros, obviously without any guarantee that it will not happen again. Since nothing else has burned in the house I have been living in for over 10 years, I consider its construction to be problematic and the lack of coverage by the warranty unacceptable, so I did not proceed with the repair and lost its value of 130 euros. Obviously, I will not buy anything from Nespresso or Krups again and I do not recommend it for any reason.

Purchased in early May, we haven't bought coffee from outside again. Excellent quality coffee every time, a huge difference (for the better) from a mid-range cost (around 250 euros) machine for ground coffee for home use. A very strong choice for those who do not want to go through the process of spending a huge amount on a very high-quality machine + grinder for ground coffee, comparable to good shops, or/and who do not have the time to sit and do the workflow every time. It works perfectly with third-party capsules, although those from the company itself remain the best in my opinion, regarding taste.

For the period that we have been using it, it works quite well and the coffee it makes is of good quality. So far, we have been using capsules from the company, however, it seems to work well with other brands as well.

Excellent coffee maker for its price. The build quality is top-notch, it heats up very quickly and makes quite good coffee. The only negative (not so significant) is the noise.

The BEST thing I have bought for a home coffee appliance!! Another positive is the wide variety of capsules available in supermarkets! And not just Nespresso's!

Quite a good coffee machine for Nespresso capsules. Most third-party capsules work just fine with the machine (e.g. Lor, Costa). The only thing I don't like is the way the water tank attaches to the coffee machine, it has two small plastic pieces like hooks that make it difficult to remove the tank. Also, in my case, I bought the coffee machine through skroutz from a store in Romania, and as a result, I couldn't redeem the free capsules.

I have had the Pixie for 4-5 months now and I use it on a daily basis. This machine makes really good coffee. I mainly drink Freddo Espresso all year round and I have bought and used about 400 Nespresso capsules.
Compared to most coffees you can find out there, this machine produces better coffee. 8 out of 10 times, I prefer the Pixie's espresso over the ones from the market. The only area where it falls short is in providing a truly good variety of freshly ground coffee with extraction at the same bars as a much more expensive professional machine, which is very normal and expected.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the purchase.

Beautiful machine that makes good coffee. Quite noisy. It broke down after descaling and now it needs 60€ for repair. (Fixed price, regardless of the damage). I don't know if it's worth fixing it...

This review is about the title colour (english): Red
I have this machine for some years now, i did a lot of research before buying it. What people don't know, is that PIXIE is the only Nespresso machine that is made in Switzerland, hence the build quality and the higher price compared to other models.

Well.. 7 years in the coffee industry. Very curious about coffee and I have to say the following.. it's the first time I have such a coffee machine and I can say that it's worth every euro. It's not the same coffee you drink outside but it's not bad at all. The same coffee you drink outside (like illy for example) is a bit lighter in these machines. The machine makes some noise at the beginning but then it settles down. So I can't say it's noisy but it's not quiet either. Just right. Easy to clean, fast coffee and takes up very little space.
Tips:
1. For freddo, it requires 2 capsules for regular coffee and 1 for light. For sweet, it requires 2 tablespoons and for medium, 1. If it's one capsule, half the amount.
2. When the machine is turned on, the lights flash, indicating that the water is heating up. After a few seconds, the lights stay steady and that's when you press the right button once and it will finish on its own. If you want Lungo, then you hold it down as long as you want.
3. Only use bottled water, never tap water as it will get clogged with minerals.
I hope I helped and whoever wants good and fast coffee at a cheap price, it's worth spending the money. With 2€-5€, you get 10 capsules. When you go to work, spend 2€ every day and you'll see that it's worth it.

I bought it because I liked the design of this particular model. It has high build quality and takes up little space. The coffee it makes is satisfactory, like in all Nespresso machines. It makes a little noise, but it's not too bothersome.
Update 12/03/2023:
After 1 year of continuous operation, I am very satisfied. It works perfectly, the coffee is just right, I haven't had any problems at all

I have had it in my possession for about a month, excellent coffee for amateur use (office, home, etc.) and with capsules from another company, do not expect to achieve the coffee that coffee shops make, especially the Frappé. Their machines cost thousands of euros, 5,8,10,15 thousand euros, but it is fine and if you achieve the taste you want depending on the coffee company you want, you will have a perfect result.

I have had it for a month now...
Offer from a chain with a free aeroccino 3 (had to purchase 40 capsules)...
I have only tried the genuine capsules and ones from coffee island...both have good coffee, but the genuine ones are much better for my taste...
Now, about the machine:
First of all, it is very practical because it makes a good espresso quickly and without any effort...
From what I have researched, the differences between machines are negligible in terms of the final result (the coffee you drink), so whatever you buy is purely a matter of design and some conveniences that each one provides...
This particular one is small in size and very easy to use...
I chose it purely for the design.
I don't have an opinion on its durability, but if anything comes up, I will update my review!
In conclusion, if you want an espresso that you can easily and quickly drink, I highly recommend it!
If you are demanding when it comes to coffee, there is another way...

Bought for 99.00 euros on 15/07/20 with a gift of 30.00 capsules from Nespresso. Makes very nice coffee quickly and with a wide variety of flavors. I am very satisfied with my machine. Durability over time... remains to be seen.

Today I bought this coffee maker! A very good espresso machine for home use. It does make a bit of noise, to be honest, but it's not something annoying at least for me. I was used to another one I had with regular coffee that indeed made a lot of noise. Now, about the machine... I got this particular one on sale for 79 euros along with 30 euros worth of coffee as a gift if you order from Nespresso's official website. I believe this machine is value for money. It does what I want simply and quickly. It also has a LED light (turns red) that notifies you of low water level.

It is truly a tiny "professional" machine with a sturdy construction that offers you a tasty experience with genuine Nespresso capsules... it really is worth its money according to what this residential machine offers in design, quality, and taste
Excellent device. I have had it for about two years and I use it quite often. The pressure it produces creates a very high-quality coffee. It uses metal capsules due to the high pressure it generates compared to other household coffee machines. It makes a little noise when used but it is tolerable. The coffee it produces is very good. The varieties from the company are also very good. I highly recommend it.
Since I got the machine, both my wife (cappuccino) and I (freddo espresso) have been enjoying proper coffee at home. The taste is incredible, the machine has been in use for 3 months and hasn't had any issues, and in combination with the Nespresso Aeroccino+, it is the best thing a home that requires proper Freddo Espresso/Cappuccino and Cappuccino (hot) can have. It produces a very nice foam and gives you all the aroma that a flavorful coffee needs. It has buttons for espresso (40ml) and lungo (110). It is set to stop the extraction on its own, but with the instructions, anyone can adjust it to the desired quantity. The design is amazing and very modern. The price of Nespresso capsules is around 41-45 cents for an espresso and 82-90 cents for a freddo espresso (Everyone has their own opinion on the price, but personally, I think the quality-price ratio is very good, so it's value for money). Enjoy!
Almost a month since I have it, I am very satisfied with the quality of the coffee, the crema of the simple espresso is particularly rich and fortunately there is a wide variety of capsules available in the market for experiments. However, the negative point is that Nespresso does not offer its own capsules in retail stores, only through online ordering or access to the expensive Kolonaki central store for Athenians - and it has some very good flavors. It does make some noise, but it doesn't bother much since other similar espresso machines in the same category make the same or even more noise. A very fair proposal at 69 euros that quickly pays off the money spent compared to the ready-made monotonous-tasting coffees outside.
I have had it for about a year. It hasn't presented any problems. On the positive side, I should add that the "bathtub" lifts up and accommodates a large glass for making freddo. It is indeed noisy, but it's not too bothersome. Ideal for small professional spaces. The variety of coffees is now huge. Besides Nespresso, there are other companies with compatible capsules (e.g., Lor, Illy, Lavazza, etc.) that you can find in supermarkets. The cost of the capsules ranges from €0.30 to €0.50. Every year during the Christmas season, the company puts it on sale and the price drops to around €70, which is a very good offer for purchasing such coffee machines.
UPDATE DECEMBER 2018
So far, everything is good; it hasn't presented any problems.
UPDATE DECEMBER 2021
The hinge on the water tank lid broke, and now it doesn't have a lid, but otherwise, it continues to operate without issues.
UPDATE DECEMBER 2024
It has been over 10 years now, and it continues to operate without issues.

I bought it a month ago!
Easy to use, small and with a nice design. The coffee is very good, it may make a little noise but the coffee is made quickly so it doesn't bother much.
The package included various coffee samples from which I ended up choosing one, however, I would also buy the capsule that I fill myself with any coffee I want for economy.
In this type of product, I believe it is the best choice
I have had the machine for 3 months now and I am very satisfied with the purchase.
It is easy to use, fast in making coffee, and the quality of Nespresso coffee is very good with many flavors (price per capsule 0.40 - 0.50 euros)
The machine is adorable. The variety of coffees is complete. It is made in Switzerland. (You feel like you bought an expensive watch)
The portions are a bit small, but they produce coffee with cream and not watery. It makes a little noise, but it compensates with good coffee. Highly recommended!
