This extraction system uses ready-to-use coffee capsules made of hermetically sealed aluminum. Each capsule contains exactly the right amount of finely ground, non freeze-dried coffee and guarantees the coffee's freshness, preserving its aroma for up to 9 months. A capsule holder or jaw perforates the capsule and soaks all the ground coffee to deliver the perfect espresso.

Modern, compact and practical in design, the Nespresso Compact Line offers the perfect countertop addition to any kitchen. These espresso machines use a new, easy-to-use capsule loader on the top. With the handle system, Nespresso coffee capsules can be easily inserted and removed. Upon lifting the handle, the used capsule is automatically ejected into a collection container, making room for a fresh capsule.

The Essenza C100 offers easy espresso preparation with its programmable automatic volume control. Two back-lit controls allow you to set the desired volume of coffee in the cup. A thermoblock heating element heats water to 187°F and 196°F, while a high-pressure (19 BAR) pump extracts all the aromas and creates a perfect crema in the cup. This espresso machine features a durable ABS housing in Piano Black.
