CitiZ: who it is for
The classic mid-size Original machine: Espresso and Lungo, a roomy tank and no built-in milk. It suits a household that makes several espresso-style cups a day. It uses Original capsules only and offers Espresso, Lungo; the water tank holds 34 fl oz (1 L).
Strengths
- Milk drinks on the machine (built-in milk system, one-touch recipes)
Trade-offs
- Cups top out at Lungo size; for mug-size coffee look at Vertuo
- Original capsules only; Vertuo pods do not fit
Keeping it running
Descale every three months or 300 capsules, whichever comes first (Nespresso US guidance), with Nespresso's own descaling kit. Descaling steps for the CitiZ.
