De’Longhi Inissia EN 80.B: what works, what doesn't?
What works well
- Ready quickly: ready to use in around 25 seconds, hardly any wait for the first cup
- 19 bar pump: produces the pressure typical of the Nespresso system for crema from the capsule
- Removable tank: the 0.7 l water tank can be removed completely for filling and cleaning
- Two fill volumes: espresso and lungo can be selected at the touch of a button and set individually
- Energy-saving: automatic switch-off after 9 minutes saves electricity and increases safety
Points of criticism
- Capsule lock-in: runs only with Nespresso-compatible capsules, ongoing costs and system dependency
- Small tank: 0.7 l means more frequent refilling when making several cups in a row
- Only two drinks: espresso and lungo as standard, milk foam or the like only with an extra device
