Christmas
morning usually starts a little frazzled as we fight our eyeballs open when the
kids wake us up before the crack of dawn so they can see what Santa has popped
under the tree for them.
So
this Mumma and Daddy usually head for the kitchen first and make a hot cup of
coffee to kick start the morning and wake our tired selves up after a long
night of wrapping and helping the elves out.
The Dinosaur like kettle with the new addition
This
year thankfully it won't be to click the kettle on, it will be fresh from a
coffee machine as we now own our very first machine!
Nespresso Breville
CitiZ&milk Chrome RRP $399
•
Two programmable cup size options: Expresso and Lungo
•
Integrated Aeroccino3 milk frother
•
Power save mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.
You
also get a bonus 16 pods, in every flavour or blend as some may call them. I
thought this is a great way to find the ones you love, to be able to buy more
of.
Now
I can't exactly say this is better then any I have tried as it is the ONLY
coffee machine I've tried. But Nespresso
is a brand I know and love, so it was fantastic to be given the opportunity to
try out their new machine!
Christmas
is less then 2 weeks away (9 day, gahhhh single digits) and I know this house
is in a mad dash for those last minute gifts as we always leave it far to late
and end up having no idea what to get anyway.
I
know for a fact I'm not the only parent to kick start Christmas morning with a
coffee to wake the system up, so what better gift to get Mum or Dad then their
very own Coffee machine.
I
missed a delivery so picked up the machine from my post office while on my way
to my Nonna’s, so I thought what way to really test this machine out then on my
Nonna as European’s know a good quality coffee when they have one! So Nonna
said to me “Ohhh wow this is beautiful” in her strong European accent :-) She
then went on to hint to me it would be perfect for Christmas for somebody… I
wonder by somebody if she meant herself?
The
Nespresso CitiZ is so easy to use even Nonna could do it and she doesn't own
one piece of technology! All you do is put water in the back water compartment,
turn the machine on and let heat up. You will know when it is ready to go as
the lights will stop blinking, then you press whether you want a small or large
coffee. Then while all this is happening you can heat and froth your milk in
the milk part of the coffee machine, which I can confirm makes pefect fluffy
froth each and every time.
First
time use you have to press the small cup a few times to get the water flowing
The
Nespresso CitiZ is also super duper easy to clean!
Just
rinse and wipe. Take pod out by lifting lever and it falls into compartment
below- slide our and throw out. Milk froth part actually comes out for an easy
cleaning solution. You can also just let the hot water come out the spout to
rinse and clean the system, it is also suggested that if you haven’t used the
unit for a while then you should rinse out a few times before hand. All comes
apart so no piece is left unclean, perfect for my germaphobe self.
I
don’t care what anybody says, this would be a great present for almost any age
and either sexes! If you are stuck for a gift idea this Christmas I am sure
your loved one will not be disappointed – I would be more then happy to open
one of these this Christmas.
