After that, shot-after-shot came out at exactly the same level, regardless of the capsule I used. I’m assuming this is because the pump has to be primed first with water. The very first shot of espresso to come out of the CitiZ was slightly under the 40ml default. Heating up in just 25 seconds, the Nespresso CitiZ is ready for action quickly, so you can go from nothing to a shot of espresso in less than a minute. Despite the tray being hinged for this purpose, any drips on the outside of the cup will end up on your kitchen surface with the CitiZ, the drip tray is always available. The Pixie is only able to take a larger mug by flipping up the hinged drip tray. It’s a neat design that can take quite tall mugs for lattes, too.

Every capsule that goes back to Nespresso is fully recycled, so you should use the free recycling service. This container pulls out of the front of the machine, so you can empty the capsules into a Nespresso recycling bag. You also get a slightly larger used capsule container, which holds 11 capsules to the 10 on the Pixie. There are advantages to that design, including a larger 1-litre water tank (the Pixie has a 0.7-litre tank) that slots in at the back, so you can make more coffees before you have to refill it.
