We recently field tested (or should that be kitchen tested?) the great new Nespresso Pixie coffee machine from DeLonghi.
The first thing that hit us was just how attractive this little coffee machine this is. If you or your wife fancy yourselves as having a sense of style, then this will be sure to suit your kitchen.
The second thing is how easy the Pixie Nespresso is to use. By day two, even the 8 year old could make mummy her cup of coffee in the morning, with no fear of scalding or mess. It's also quick - The PIXIE heats up in less than 30 seconds and according to the manufacturer, uses 40 per cent less energy than other coffee machines!
You do need to be aware that the Nespresso range use patented coffee capsules or pods, which do cost about $1 each, so factor that in before you give this gift that keeps on giving! If you have your coffee with milk, you'll also want to heat your milk, either in the microwave or the handy coffee heating accessory.
The new Nespresso PIXIE range is available in in electric steel blue, lime, aluminium, indigo, red and titan and would be perfect for Mother's Day this year.
