Krups Nespresso EA9010 Review
The Krups EA9010 is a super-automatic machine that makes excellent espresso shots and steamed drinks at the touch of a single button. Its high-end price and lack of manual controls are likely to be a disappointment to home baristas who are interested in making their own drinks.
Its simplicity and speed make it the ideal choice for those looking to to quickly get up in the morning. It also has a compact footprint and is priced reasonably.
1. Simple to use
There are plenty of options when you’re looking for an espresso machine that is easy-to-use. One of our favorite is the Krups Nespresso Inissia. This compact machine is perfect for singles or Nespresso beginners because it’s simple to set up and use. It also produces a dense crema that can fill large mugs. Another benefit is that it’s compatible with L’OR Barista XXL capsules, which can hold up to two times more coffee than the smaller capsules.
The Inissia has a small tank that could make four to six espressos or luongos without needing to be filled. It’s also easy to clean and it comes with a convenient place to store used capsules. You can also stop the process of brewing, which can be useful if you want to grab a cup of coffee before work or school. However, you should note that if you don’t do this step, your coffee may be slightly less strong than it would be when you waiting for the brewing cycle to complete.
Krups Nespresso Essenza Mini EA81 is a different compact machine that makes delicious coffee. It is the smallest machine in the OriginalLine range and comes with two sizes of drinks including lungo and espresso. It is easy to use and has a sleek style that looks great on your counter. It comes with a removable drip tray, cake container and water tank. It also has a steam nozzle for making cappuccinos.
The Essenza Mini’s water tank is on the small side, so you might have to refill it regularly. It also has a smaller capacity for brewing warm water than other models within the same price range. It is equipped with a conical grinder, which is great for those who don’t want to buy a separate one. It is easy to clean and maintain, and it is able to be easily descaled using the use of a special descaling powder. The model is available in several colors and is a fashionable addition to any kitchen.
2. Easy to clean
Cleaning your Nespresso machine will ensure you get the best espresso. A build-up could cause a drastic impact on the flow and quality of your coffee machine nespresso. Caffeine & Tea cleaning capsules aid in preventing this and help keep the coffee machine running smoothly. Use one of capsules each month or every 30 cups to ensure you get a perfect cup and keep your Nespresso machine healthy.
Nespresso machines that only use coffee or water like the Mini or Essenza are simple to clean. However the Lattissima range introduces milk into the equation, and this could result in lots of foam and residue that requires cleaning. Luckily the EA9010 is among the few machines to make this process quick and simple. The front door opens up to reveal a large, oversized bucket which holds the unused espresso grounds (also called “pucks”). It is easy to open and throw it away, and a second drawer houses bottles of a special cleaner manufactured by Krups.
These cleaners can be dissolving in water and then run through the machine prior to a cleaning cycle. After that, the tank and other components of the machine can be washed off using fresh water. After the water tank has become empty, a descaler can be added, as instructed by the instruction manual of your machine. Descaling eliminates mineral deposits from the thermoblock and heating element, which is a major reason of the poor performance of your machine.
Once you’ve descaled your machine, it’s time to start making fresh coffee. Rinse the machine after every use to prevent the buildup of coffee grounds or oil. If you’re using steam wands or a milk container, clean them after every use. It is recommended to run a clean-up cycle at least once or twice per week to ensure that your machine is operating efficiently and to prevent the build-up of scale. If you don’t follow this, your machine will alert you to run a clean cycle. You don’t need to begin the cycle right away when the warning appears but you should complete it within a short period of time.
3. Easy to maintain
If you’re looking to maintain a low-maintenance machine it’s an excellent choice. It’s also among the few machines that we tested that drains and rinses automatically after each use. This helps to reduce mineral accumulation and ensures a fresh, clean taste. It has a variety of drink settings, and is compatible with Nespresso’s L’OR XXL pods which contain more coffee. However, it has some drawbacks including its high cost and inconsistent foaming.
The Pixie is the smallest and least expensive Nespresso model available and is a great option for those looking for an easy single-serve coffee maker. Its small design, low-profile water tank and internal drink library make it ideal for smaller space. It also lets you access many of the most popular coffee drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes with a single button press. The only drawback is that it doesn’t come with a frother. This can be a problem for some home baristas.
This machine isn’t simple to maintain but it’s an excellent option for anyone who wants an easy and delicious cup of coffee. It’s small in size, and its internal capsule container can hold up 19 capsules. The machine is compatible with Nespresso’s recycling program and can be refilled easily. It’s compatible with L’OR Barista capsules that offer more coffee than regular Nespresso pods.
The most efficient way to keep your Krups nespresso coffee machine clean is to wipe down the removable parts with hot water and a mild detergent after each use. You should also empty the capsule bin and drip tray regularly. It is also necessary to periodically descale the machine and the user manual should include a free water hardness testing strip to let you know when it’s time.
Descale your capsules following about 1000 capsules. You may have to descale your machine more frequently when you live in a zone with hard water. The machine’s automated alarm will notify you when it’s time to begin the descaling cycle. It’s fast and relatively easy.
4. Easy to store
This Krups Nespresso is compact and small, making it easy to store. It requires only minimal maintenance. This includes emptying the capsule container and occasionally rinsing out the drip tray. It’s ideal for people who live together and don’t want to think about maintaining separate machines. It’s made with Nespresso capsules, and offers a limited selection of beverage options, including black coffee and espresso. It is recommended to descale the machine every 1,000 capsules. You can find a descaling agent at all retailers that sell Nespresso products or Krups nespresso coffee machine purchase it from the manufacturer directly.
This Nespresso capsule coffee maker is among the easiest to clean because of its removable capsule container and the absence of frothing wand. Its small size makes it a great choice for small spaces and it’s compatible with Nespresso Original Capsules. It’s not as powerful as some other models, but it will create a delicious espresso or coffee.
The model is easy to use, much like the majority of Nespresso models. Its minimalist design and one top-facing button controls everything from turning on to brewing your coffee. It’s also one of the smallest and least expensive machines available. It’s only compatible with Nespresso capsules and will only make black espresso. It’s not the best choice for Krups nespresso coffee machine people who prefer cappuccino, latte or macchiato.
The Krups Vertuo Plus machine is an excellent option if want an Nespresso machine that is simple yet elegantly constructed. It’s compatible with Nespresso Barista XXL capsules. These are larger than regular capsules, and can be used for making larger mugs. It’s also simple to set up and use, making it a great option for new Nespresso users.
The machine can serve a wide range of drinks, including popular options like americano, espresso, or cappuccino. You can even instruct it to brew a “Red Eye” (regular coffee amped up by two additional espresso shots). The used capsules have a sour smell that you can eliminate by placing them in a water bowl. The machine comes with a free recycling bag that can be dropped at participating stores such as Williams Sonoma and Nespresso boutiques.
