The Nespresso CitiZ heats up really quickly, taking just 25 seconds, according to the manufacturer. So if you're someone who wants to get your morning espresso without much delay, that's pretty convenient.
However, some folks have noticed that while the machine gets ready fast, the espresso it brews can end up on the lukewarm side. Our research shows that several people feel the coffee isn't quite as hot as they'd like. The machine is designed to maintain a standard brewing temperature, but some have found it doesn’t match their preferences for heat.
If you're worried about the espresso not being hot enough, there are a couple of things you can try. Pre-heating your cups before brewing can help the coffee stay warmer. Plus, keeping the machine well-maintained by descaling it regularly can prevent any issues that might affect coffee temperature. Regular check-ups on the machine can help keep it working at its best.
But if having a really hot espresso is a top priority for you and the CitiZ doesn’t quite meet your needs despite adjustments, it might be worth checking out other models or accessories that focus more on temperature control.
In short, the CitiZ is great for a quick start to your coffee-making. Although there are mixed feelings about the coffee’s temperature, trying some of these simple tips might just get your espresso to the warmth you prefer.
