I purchased one yesterday and, unsurprisingly, the instruction manual was sub standard. I went looking and found yours. A truly excellent resource and so beautifully done. I think Nespresso should appoint your video as their official one and pay you handsomely for it! Thank you.
Left button facing the machine is for an espresso the right button is for a lungo. Check out their manual for more details: www.nespresso.com/shared_res/manuals/citiz/2016/www_CitiZ&Milk_C122_BREVILLE(EN).pdf
Thank you for your comment. The machine is working great. No regrets so far. Using it almost everyday and no cons. One thing I noticed that, it uses small capsule so good for small serving. I will try to make the follow up video. Thank you for the suggestion 😊
@@AnnsHomeCuisine Hi so does this mean we have to use 2 pods to make a decent long black coffee ? And what if we want to run water through the machine after each coffee to flush it out and clean it ? Should we ?
Hi, not sure why, I saw on a web possible it is overheating. Here is some possibility. " If it is not fully cooled down, the frother will overheat, indicated by the blinking red light, and will not run for the correct length of time." I would suggest to contact the Nespresso customer support.
I have not tried the Genio so not sure if it is the same. I think Nespresso one tasted good to me. If it is a different brand than Nespresso, the taste may be different. I think at the end of the day, it will be personal preferences. 🥰
Does your machine make hissing sound when it’s on at all? I just got mine and it’s so loud. Looked up online and everyone that had this issue had the same chrome color.
@@AnnsHomeCuisine yes, the one I got is quite loud. My friend has the white one and it’s quiet you won’t even notice that it’s on unless you look at the button lights. I took a video below. twitter.com/aummaiteng/status/1329583293109596161?s=21
Sorry for the late response. Thank yo for sharing the link. Mine does not hiss like that. Like I mentioned, there small hissing sound but not as loud like that. Hope you can get to exchange it or return it.
It says on the nespresso citiz & milk website that non dairy alternatives like almond ,& soy can be frothed but the results can be thin? Also that a good quality Soy will get better results, Can anyone recommend a suitable Soy milk for frothing ? Any other soy tips would be welcomed.
Thank you for watching! 😊 milk frother is attached to the machine. They have a different model such as Vertuo next that comes with frother detached to the machine.
Hi +sherazade, thank you for your comment. Below is from the manual: Aeroccino has two options. For a hot preparation, briefly press button to start. Button lights up Red. Take approx. 70-80 sec. For cold milk froth, keep button pressed for approx. 2 seconds. Button lights up Blue. Takes approx. 60 sec. For the coffee, it will come out hot. I enjoy using my Citiz&Milk. Let me know if you want to know more about this machine😀
I just bought a citiz. when i put in a capsule on top, it seems to be sitting at a slight angle, not 90°. it still works though but i seem to be doing it wrong.
I guess 3 years is about the lifespan , as on the nespresso citiz & milk order page it offers an optional 3 year guarantee. .on the bright side you can get a nice new machine..:-)
I haven't tried other pods but I do see Starbucks pods for Nespresso. You might want to check with Nespresso or Starbucks if it is compatible with Citiz and Milk machine.
As long as they say for Nespresso machines and does NOT say for Vertuo. I found some Starbucks pods for Nespresso at Honegoods and they were like 6 bucks for a pack and work great.
I'm new to coffee. I don't drink it and my husband likes it. I want to buy him a coffee machine but can someone please help me - the coffee pods, do they contain milk or do I need to add milk to it when it's made? Not into milk froth so this may not be useful but he takes milk in his coffee. Thank you for your help x
That’s for the video it looked really cool!! I just have a dumb question. After you put the milk and it’s done and all, do I remove the rest and wash it with water or is it ok to keep it for later use?
I purchased one yesterday and, unsurprisingly, the instruction manual was sub standard. I went looking and found yours. A truly excellent resource and so beautifully done. I think Nespresso should appoint your video as their official one and pay you handsomely for it! Thank you.
Did yours vibrate,
After spending £££ a month at coffee shops, really looking forward to doing it all from home. Thank you for the lovely instructions
A great video.
Thank you! 🙏
Does the machine vibrate
does the button on the right do the same thing?
Left button facing the machine is for an espresso the right button is for a lungo.
Check out their manual for more details: www.nespresso.com/shared_res/manuals/citiz/2016/www_CitiZ&Milk_C122_BREVILLE(EN).pdf
Does the frother also heat the milk?
Yes, it will heat up the milk.
How has your machine held up with use? Do you have any regrets with this model? Pros and cons? Please do a follow-up video!

Hi so I try to heat the milk for a few seconds but then it stops and it starts blinking, what does this mean?

will the coffee taste better with this rather than the cheaper Genio models? Or am I just paying for the sleeker design and milk frother?
I have not tried the Genio so not sure if it is the same. I think Nespresso one tasted good to me. If it is a different brand than Nespresso, the taste may be different. I think at the end of the day, it will be personal preferences. 🥰
@@AnnsHomeCuisine I ordered this one and will try it out!
@Ann’s Home Cuisine,
is it possible to use own’s ground coffee with this machine?
As far as I know, you have to use the Nespresso Capsule.
@@AnnsHomeCuisine Got it, thanks for your reply.
Does your machine make hissing sound when it’s on at all? I just got mine and it’s so loud. Looked up online and everyone that had this issue had the same chrome color.
Do you mean when it is not in use but just turned on? I can notice a small hissing sound but not to the level it bothers me.
@@AnnsHomeCuisine yes, the one I got is quite loud. My friend has the white one and it’s quiet you won’t even notice that it’s on unless you look at the button lights. I took a video below.

@@AnnsHomeCuisine No worries! I reached out to customer service and they're sending a replacement. Fingers crossed this time. Thank you though! :)
@@AumMaiteng did you receive the chrome one and is it still buzzing?
Thanks

Same here I need this question answered also xxxx
I use oat milk and it works great. Earth’s own oat milk
@@Itzzara4 oat milk by Cali the Barista blend froths up great!!
@@ceecee8757 thankyou for your reply 😊
Thank you
Thanks for the video! Was just gifted one of these after being a granules drinker for years. What's the song name?
Thank you. It is called George Street Shuffle - Kevin MacLeod (ua-cam.com/video/ux0FNWlaQRs/v-deo.html)
Great video and thank you for this! One question: Is it possible to unclip the bottom (the holder) of the milk frother from the coffee machine?
Thank you for watching! 😊 milk frother is attached to the machine. They have a different model such as Vertuo next that comes with frother detached to the machine.
Why does this machine not have an option for a ristretto?
It does, you need to short press espresso button :)
Is the milk hot? Or more lukewarm? And how about the coffee is it hot? I had the latissima pro very disappointed, my lattes were lukewarm
Hi +sherazade, thank you for your comment.
Below is from the manual:
Aeroccino has two options. For a hot preparation, briefly press button to start. Button lights up Red. Take approx. 70-80 sec. For cold milk froth, keep button pressed for approx. 2 seconds. Button lights up Blue. Takes approx.

Let me know if you want to know more about this machine😀
it also helps it your mug is warm if it's cold you lose a lot of heat through the mug
I just bought a citiz. when i put in a capsule on top, it seems to be sitting at a slight angle, not 90°. it still works though but i seem to be doing it wrong.
Thank you for stopping by. Hope it went well.
Andy i have the same maybe its normal machine works great
What kind of milk did you use for the foam? It looks amazing!
Thank you for watching! I used whole milk.
I use local gold top cream milk and oh my does it make a huge difference if you love creamy milky coffee ☕
How to turn off the citiz?
Press and hold the two buttons on both sides. You might want to check their website for more details.
That looks yummy! Where did you buy your coffee mugs??? Thanks for this video
It's a Nespresso cup. You can get it from their website. Thanks!
I’m so upset my citiz machine died and it’s only been 2 years and 10 month. ! Was hoping it would last a bit longer . How long have you had yours ?
That's a bummer! Mine is about 1+ year. Hope it lasts longer.
I guess 3 years is about the lifespan , as on the nespresso citiz & milk order page it offers an optional 3 year guarantee. .on the bright side you can get a nice new machine..:-)
Hello ,so I wanted to buy this machine and I wanted to know if It can use any pods in the machine like starbucks
I haven't tried other pods but I do see Starbucks pods for Nespresso. You might want to check with Nespresso or Starbucks if it is compatible with Citiz and Milk machine.

U need to add milk,. It will only get espresso
Did you actually watch the video????
How much is the machine plz???
Please check their website. It says $209.30 (www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/machines/original/nespresso-citizandmilk-c122-chrome-refresh)
That’s for the video it looked really cool!! I just have a dumb question. After you put the milk and it’s done and all, do I remove the rest and wash it with water or is it ok to keep it for later use?
Thank you for watching! I do remove and wash after each use.
Damn lady you are such a cool cat 😻that I had to sub immediately, nice work
Thank you!
Chrome color is cheap looking, get the white or black. I have the chrome speaking from experience
I like the chrome. It's pretty and goes with any kitchen decor.
zoom out more
Next time I will reshoot it better 😅
These machines turn out lukewarm coffee. I like my coffee hot.
You need to warm your machine up first, which usually helps with the temp.
HI
😀
For the price it should make all the job only pressing one button. Not doing it yourself!
Surely you can't be that lazy! There's another model of the Nespresso that does it all in one button.
