It's exactly the same as all the other though.

It'll be a nice cup of coffee and it's convenient.

Can't beat the smell of freshly ground coffee though and it's not difficult to stick in a cafetiere.


Try it sometime. Its better than all the other pod/capsule machine by a mile.

Agree about the smell etc.

IMO you can get ALOT better than a DeLonghi if you want a trad espresso machine.

For £200? Show me.


I misunderstood. I thought you meant a £200 DeLonghi is as good as anything else, not that the limit was £200.

Forgiven.

I'd love a traditional hand pump espresso machine

Or one of these bad boys. Not bad for £7000+

Ben, does your pixie have enough room to fit a mug under the nozzle? Doesn't look like there's a height adjust on the website..

I've got a Citiz not a Pixie and the little shelf that holds an espresso cup folds up on that to allow a bigger mug/cup. I'm pretty sure the Pixie will do similar.

Best ask Marc tbh.

Looks half decent bit of kit for the money that. Will be interesting if Whittie gets fed up of cleaning the group/steam arm etc everytime.

I'd have got a Gaggia classic for that money tbh.

Steam arm is the worst bit to clean, rest of it doesn't need much cleaning.

I end up having a normal coffee most of the time so steam arm not used often.

I never use the steam arm, only if I want an Americano or bit of extra hot water in the espresso.

Mind you, the hot water on my De'Longhi spurts out, so ends up splashing coffee everywhere. Handing for extra warming of the cups though.

Latte?

I can make awesome latte's in the tall glasses where it layers up. Looks cool. Guests used to love it.
