At a glance

The De'Longhi-made Nespresso CitiZ EN167.B is a slim, retro-styled capsule machine for Nespresso Original pods. It makes espresso and lungo at the touch of two programmable buttons, has a 1 litre tank and heats up in about 25 seconds. Owners praise how simple it is to use and clean, the coffee quality and the way it fits narrow worktops, and many are buying it again to replace an older CitiZ. The trade-offs: it has no milk frother or hot-water function and only two cup sizes. Recent owners often call it noisy and prone to vibration, some find the coffee not hot enough, and a few report early pump faults. It suits people who want quick black coffee from Nespresso Original pods in a compact, good-looking machine. Milk drinkers should look at the CitiZ & Milk instead. No independent long-term reliability data was found.

Strengths

  • Very simple to use and keep clean, with two programmable buttons and automatic flow stop.
  • Slim 130 mm-wide body that suits small kitchens and looks smart.
  • Well-regarded coffee quality, with a 1 litre tank, 19 bar pump and 25-second heat-up claim.
Show all (4)
  • Many owners report earlier CitiZ machines lasting for years, and a 2-year guarantee is included.

Things to consider

  • No milk frother, hot-water outlet or display, and only Espresso and Lungo sizes.
  • Several recent owners find it loud and say it vibrates, so cups can move on the tray.
  • Some find the coffee not hot enough, particularly with milk added.
Show all (5)
  • Isolated reports of pump faults within weeks or months of purchase.
  • Only accepts Nespresso Original-format capsules.
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • Espresso and lungo drinkers who want a fast, low-effort capsule machine.
  • Kitchens with limited worktop width.
  • Owners of an older CitiZ looking for a like-for-like replacement.

May not suit

  • Anyone wanting lattes or cappuccinos without buying a separate frother.
  • People sensitive to machine noise or who want very hot coffee.

Go to the original reviews

UK owners mostly describe the CitiZ as a simple, dependable everyday espresso and lungo maker. They like how easy it is to use and clean, its slim and stylish look, and the coffee quality and choice of pods. Many are repeat buyers replacing an earlier CitiZ that lasted years. The most common complaint is noise and vibration while brewing: some say the cup can shuffle on the metal tray and that the newer unit is louder than older ones. A smaller group find the coffee not hot enough, especially with milk. A handful report the pump failing within weeks or months, usually resolved by refund or repair. Several think it is good value, while one independent review felt it was pricey for a basic two-button machine.

  1. R*** 5/5 9 October 2026 John Lewis

    I got one of these last year, and it's still working perfectly! It's robustly built and has a good, slim design which will neatly fit into narrower spaces. Pulls a nice coffee with a bit of crema too.

  2. R*** 5/5 8 October 2026 John Lewis

    I bought this to replace the exact same model that I bought about 13 years ago. These coffee machines are brilliant. So straight forward to use.…

  3. S*** 5/5 9 May 2026 John Lewis

    This is our 3rd Citiz machine. The other two lasted more than 6 years each with daily multiple uses, have been on holiday with us and been really reliable. The only downside is that, over time, it becomes harder and harder to keep it fully clean (plastic parts degrade with regular use) hence needing replacement eventually as water no longer runs clear.…

  4. C*** 3/5 17 June 2026 John Lewis

    This is my third machine, over the years and it's mostly lovely but so much vibration, have to hold cup or it would fall off. Sounds like a road drill and shakes like one.

  5. J*** 3/5 8 June 2026 John Lewis

    Unfortunately this machine has gone wrong after only six months use !…

  6. A*** 1/5 15 June 2026 John Lewis

    My machine will not deliver a full lungo cup using the Allpress decaf . Has anyone else this experience or is my new machine a weak motor ?

  7. B*** 1/5 16 February 2026 John Lewis

    It was fine for 28 days and then suddenly wouldn't pump water through the (original nespresso) pods. Water ran fine without a pod. A few dribbles with a pod before the machine stopped.…

  8. M*** 4/5 24 January 2026 John Lewis

    …It's so noisy and clunky to use and the coffee temp isn't as hot as I like it.

  9. O*** 2/5 21 January 2026 John Lewis

    Bought this to replace the same product that had failed after just over 2 years. Previous product while failing after a short life and when just out of warranty operated quietly and made good coffee this unit as a replacement while still making good coffee is extremely noisy in operation exceeding 75 decibels when in use, and operation of the mechanisms is not as smooth.…

  10. m*** 5/5 3 January 2026 John Lewis Syndicated from Nespresso UK

    …it has a design flaw in the metal plate that the cup sits on. When the coffee brewing dispenses, the machine vibrates and your cup moves…

  11. S*** 5/5 29 June 2026 Amazon Citiz Black

    Excellent coffee. Not a upmarket machine but for every day use for espresso/lungo using capsules it’s just fine. Very good value for money. Very compact which is useful in a smaller kitchen where surfaces are at a premium. Easy to keep clean.

  12. M*** K*** J*** R*** 5/5 6 May 2026 Amazon White

    …The temp of the coffee isn’t as hot as you may like so might need to heat up the milk more if you take it with milk.…

  13. T*** 5/5 24 October 2025 Amazon

    I’ve seen some comments saying that the machine leaks. When you turn it on and it’s heating up it will occasionally drip a few drops into the drip tray.…

  14. B*** O*** 5/5 27 November 2017 Amazon Citiz Black

    We were aware of some comments that the serving was not hot enough, but it seems fine to us (who wants to burn their mouth on a scalding drink?).…

  15. B*** 5/5 21 October 2026 Amazon White

    Very pleased, holds more water than my last nespresso

  16. B*** 5/5 15 August 2026 Argos

    Well made. Smart. Easy to use. Just like all those ones in hotels

  17. C*** Q*** 5/5 4 May 2026 Argos

    Fabulous machine. Sturdy, looks great and makes excellent coffee. Well worth the money

  18. J*** 5/5 5 April 2026 Argos

    Great coffee machine better than Costa

  19. Customer 5/5 4 June 2026 Currys EN167.B Black

    Bought as a replacement. Compact and easy to use

  20. C*** 2/5 8 February 2026 Currys EN167.W White

    Worked well for 2 months then my coffee wouldn’t pour properly… still waiting for mine to be fixed as they had to send it in for repair.

Review - Nespresso CitiZ by De'Longhi Coffee & Espresso Machine 2026

The Nespresso CitiZ by De'Longhi is a fast and user-friendly capsule machine that uses Nespresso Original pods, featuring a quick 25-second heat-up time and reliable 19-bar extraction. It offers a larger 1-litre water tank and container capacity than smaller pod models, though its shallow drip tray and rear-positioned water reservoir can be somewhat inconvenient. It is an ideal option for anyone seeking quick, consistent espresso and lungo drinks with minimal fuss.
