Nespresso Citiz Espresso Machine – White

Nespresso Citiz Espresso Machine – White

The Nespresso Citiz is the machine that defined the compact capsule espresso format: a slim, city-sized unit with a 19-bar pump, a one-litre removable water tank and the two cup sizes that cover most coffee drinking — a 40 ml Espresso and a 110 ml Lungo. In white, it suits bright kitchens and office pantries where a full-sized machine would overwhelm the counter.

Key features

• 19-bar high-pressure pump for proper espresso extraction
• Two programmable cup sizes: Espresso (40 ml) and Lungo (110 ml)
• 1-litre removable water tank
• Used capsule container holding around 10 capsules
• Folding cup support for taller glasses and latte macchiato recipes
• Energy-saving mode with automatic switch-off
• Fast heat-up of around 25 seconds

Espresso the capsule way

The 19-bar pump pushes water through the Nespresso capsule at the pressure espresso extraction requires, producing the dense crema and concentrated flavour that define the drink. Because the coffee is sealed in the capsule until the moment of brewing, every cup tastes like the first — no grinding, dosing or stale beans to manage, and no technique to learn.

Designed for small counters

The Citiz’s narrow footprint was the point of the design: it takes the width of a paperback book on the counter while still carrying a full litre of water. The tank removes for filling at the tap, the capsule container slides out for emptying, and the folding cup tray flips up when you want a tall glass under the spout.

Daily running

Heat-up takes about 25 seconds, the machine drops into energy-saving mode after a few idle minutes and switches off automatically, and descaling is a guided cycle rather than a service visit. For homes and small offices making a handful of coffees a day, it is close to maintenance-free.

The capsule ecosystem

Owning a Nespresso machine is mostly about the range behind it: dozens of Original-line coffees from single-origin espresso to decaffeinated lungo, including limited editions through the year, all in the same capsule format the Citiz brews. Milk drinks need a separate step — an Aeroccino frother or a jug and steam wand elsewhere — since the Citiz is an espresso and lungo machine by design. Used capsules can go back through Nespresso’s recycling programme. For most households the pattern settles quickly: espresso in the morning, lungo through the day, and a machine that asks for nothing but water, capsules and an occasional descale.

It is also a machine that respects the morning routine: quiet pump for its class, a cup warmer’s worth of simplicity in the controls, and a white finish that wipes clean — espresso with the ceremony removed and the substance kept.

Choose the Nespresso Citiz if you want real espresso at home or work with capsule convenience — 19-bar extraction, two cup sizes and a footprint that fits the kitchens it was named for.
