Really good product
Very nice and sleek design, stands fine on the benchtop. We think it is a good price as well. Most importantly, works really well and makes a good coffee so quite happy with the purchase.

At a glance
The Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo is a compact capsule coffee machine built for quick, simple espresso and lungo at home. It suits apartments, small kitchens and buyers who mainly drink black coffee. Key strengths are its slim footprint, 25-second heat-up and easy single-serve operation. The main limitation is its small 0.6 L water tank and Solo setup, which does not include milk frothing.
What it’s great for
- Quick morning coffee
- Black coffee at home
- Small-space kitchens
- Simple single-serve brewing
Where it works best
- Apartment kitchens
- Small benchtops
- Studio apartments
- Home kitchens
Who it’s for
- Apartment dwellers
- Black coffee drinkers
- Busy households
- First-time capsule machine buyers
Things to consider
This Solo model is best for espresso and lungo without built-in milk preparation, so buyers wanting frequent milk-based drinks may prefer a machine with integrated milk functionality or a larger water tank.
Quick coffee suitability
9/10 - Fast 25-second heat-up and one-touch capsule brewing make it well suited to quick daily coffee.
Variety of capsule compatibility
Original Nespresso Capsules
Ease of use score
9/10 - Simple capsule system, two cup sizes and automatic shut off keep operation straightforward.
Cleaning convenience
8/10 - The removable drip tray and used capsule container help keep cleaning simple for everyday use.
Compact kitchen fit
10/10 - With an approximately 11 cm-wide footprint, it is an excellent choice for tight benchtops and small kitchens.
Key benefits
- Ultra compact design: The slim body fits neatly on benchtops with limited space and is easy to place in apartments or smaller kitchens.
- 25-second heat-up: The thermoblock system gets the machine ready quickly, helping you make coffee faster during busy mornings.
- 19 bar pump: Delivers the pressure needed for rich flavour and a fuller crema in espresso-style coffee.
- Two programmable cup sizes: Choose 40 mL espresso or 110 mL lungo for simple everyday brewing flexibility.
- 0.6 L water tank: Well suited to single-serve routines without taking up much space.
- Used pod container for 6 capsules: Holds several spent capsules before emptying, making day-to-day use tidier.
- Auto shut off after 9 minutes: Adds convenience and reduces unnecessary power use when the machine is left idle.
- Removable drip tray: Makes it easier to clean and helps accommodate different cup sizes.
Q: Does the Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo Grey use Original or Vertuo capsules?
A: It uses Nespresso Original capsules, not Vertuo pods. That means it is designed for espresso and lungo style coffee with the smaller Original capsule format, so Vertuo capsules will not fit or brew in this machine.
Q: Can the Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo Grey make milk coffee like a flat white or cappuccino?
A: Yes, but only if milk is frothed separately because the Solo version does not include a milk frother or steam wand. It suits buyers who mainly want black coffee, or who already have a separate frother for milk drinks.
Q: What is the difference between the Essenza Mini Solo and the Essenza Mini with milk frother?
A: The main difference is that the Solo machine is coffee only, while the other version includes a separate Aeroccino milk frother. Brewing is similar, but the Solo is the simpler choice if milk texturing is not part of your routine.
Q: Is the Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo Grey a good option for small kitchens or apartments?
A: Yes, this is one of the smallest Nespresso Original machines, at about 11 cm wide with a compact footprint. It suits benchtops with limited space, but the smaller water tank means more frequent refills than larger capsule machines.
Q: Can you change the coffee size on the Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo Grey?
A: Yes, it has preset espresso and lungo buttons, and those volumes can be reprogrammed to suit your preferred pour. It is best for short black coffee styles rather than large mugs, because it uses the Original capsule system.
Q: How quickly does the Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo Grey heat up and brew?
A: It heats up in about 25 seconds, so it is suited to quick single-serve coffee during busy mornings. Brew time then depends on the volume selected, with espresso and lungo pours designed to start soon after the machine is ready.
