What we don't like about Nespresso Inissia EN80.B

Verdict

The Nespresso Inissia EN80.B by De'Longhi is a compact and lightweight capsule coffee machine featuring a 19-bar high-pressure pump, a 1260-watt heating system, and a 0.7-litre removable water tank. Key performance specifications include a rapid 25-second thermoblock heat-up time, two programmable buttons for automated Espresso (40 ml) and Lungo (110 ml) volumes, an eco-mode that activates an automatic shut-off after 9 minutes of inactivity, and an internal container that stores up to 11 used capsules. Main advantages include its budget-friendly price point, space-saving dimensions (32.1 x 12 x 23 cm) ideal for small counters, consistently rich crema extraction, and a folding drip tray designed to accommodate taller mugs. However, notable drawbacks include its loud operating noise during brewing, a plastic-heavy build, and occasional post-brew spigot dripping.
