The Nespresso Pixie and the Nespresso Citiz are both compact coffee machines that deliver delicious espresso using the Nespresso range of gourmet coffee pods. They are pretty similar in price, with only a $20 difference, so how do you know which one to go for?
We have compiled a list of some of the key features of both the Nespresso Pixie and the Nespresso Citiz to see which one we think is the better of the two.
Style
The Nespresso Pixie and the Nespresso Citiz are two super stylish espresso machines that come in a choice of colors so you can match your machine to your kitchen decor. The Pixie is the lighter of the two models weighing at 6.6 lbs compared to the Citiz that weighs 7.5 lbs.
The Pixie is the smaller of the two models, measuring at 4.4 inches wide, by 12.8 inches in depth and 9.3 inches in height, giving you more space on your countertops than the Citiz, which measures 5.1 inches by 10.9 inches by 14.6. Despite the extra height on the Citiz it looks a little more chic than the Pixie.
Functions
Both the Pixie and the Citiz feature eco-friendly engineering and can heat up espresso in only 25 seconds. The Citiz has won the Red Dot Design Award for its sleek, innovative design and also has a larger 34 ounce water tank compared to the 24 ounce tank on the Pixie..
Both models feature a folding drip tray so you can use a taller glass as well as an espresso glass. The Pixie benefits from technology that alerts you when the water level in the tank is almost empty; a feature that the Citiz doesn’t have.
Cleaning
Both the Nespresso Pixie and the Nespresso Citiz can be cleaned in the same way and it’s very simple. The coffee outlet can be cleaned with a damp cloth and you use Nespresso’s descaling liquid in the water tank to be put through a cycle before running it again with fresh water.
Each of the models has a built in container that can store 11 used capsules at a time, meaning you don’t have to empty either of the machines as often as some other models.
Ease of Use
Both the Nespresso Pixie and the Nespresso Citiz create high quality espresso without you needing to be a skilled barista. Because both the models use pods the hard work is done for you by the machine, meaning the quality is kept consistent.
The size and weight of the Pixie make it handy for taking away on trips, meaning you can have your delicious espresso made for you wherever you travel.
