Nespresso Pixie

Overview

The Nespresso Pixie is the compact powerhouse of the Original Line, packing full 19-bar extraction capability into one of the smallest espresso machines ever produced. At just 111mm wide, the Pixie fits in spaces where no other machine would — a narrow counter gap, a bookshelf, a home office corner. Despite the tiny footprint, the Pixie produces the same quality espresso as larger Nespresso models, using the Original capsule format with two programmable buttons for espresso and lungo. The machine features distinctive brushed aluminum side panels that come in a variety of metallic colors — Electric Titan, Electric Red, Electric Indigo, Electric Aluminum — adding a premium, industrial-design aesthetic. The backlit water level indicator glows red when the 700ml reservoir is low, and the used capsule container holds about 11 pods. The Pixie heats up in approximately 25 seconds and features an energy-saving auto-off after 9 minutes of inactivity. The folding drip tray accommodates taller glasses. For those who love the Nespresso Original capsule ecosystem but have minimal counter space, the Pixie proves that exceptional things come in small packages — it is the Swiss army knife of capsule machines.

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 Pixie 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 Pixie is a substantial machine, weighing in at 2.8 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, drawing 1260W of power. With dimensions of 111 x 326 x 235 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 700 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
