Nespresso CitiZ

Overview

The Nespresso CitiZ is the design-forward model in the Original Line, featuring an angular, urban-inspired aesthetic with clean lines and a slim profile that evokes modern architectural design. The CitiZ uses the traditional Nespresso Original capsule system — a high-pressure pump at 19 bars forces water through the punctured aluminum capsule for a quick, consistent extraction. Two programmable buttons deliver espresso (40ml) and lungo (110ml), and the volumes are adjustable to personal preference. The CitiZ heats up in approximately 25 seconds thanks to its efficient thermoblock system, and the folding drip tray accommodates taller glasses for lungo drinks or recipes over ice. The retractable cup support adds to the machine's versatile design. A 1-liter water reservoir provides ample capacity for daily use, and the used capsule container holds up to 11 pods. The CitiZ is often bundled with the Aeroccino milk frother as the "CitiZ & Milk" package for those who want cappuccinos and lattes. Available in chrome, black, and white finishes, the CitiZ is the Nespresso machine for the style-conscious urbanite who wants their coffee maker to be as carefully designed as the rest of their living space.

It features a thermoblock boiler system. The vibratory pump delivers 19.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Original Capsule group head.

Priced at $230, the Nespresso CitiZ is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a pod/capsule machine, it prioritizes convenience and consistency, delivering quality espresso with minimal effort.

In terms of build quality, the Nespresso CitiZ is a substantial machine, weighing in at 3.4 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, drawing 1260W of power. With dimensions of 120 x 372 x 231 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1000 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
