Very compact, water tank is lightweight, you can refill it by adding water (optional) or take it out: easy fit. (PIC: I also used water, so it’s not all the way filled here). The tray for espresso cups may be removed permanently, so the machine is even less space utilizing, + your normal cappuccino/latte cup can prevail always ready to go in its spot to receive your coffee/espresso!! (Original Nespresso that tray flaps up, but stays). (I don’t add a pic with the tray). The coffee / espresso making IS EXTREMELY FAST: I’m super amazed!! It heats up in seconds by the touch of one (!) single button. Another touch + your espresso or Lungo is made in no time + it’s DELICIOUS!!!!! What a treat!! 3-sec touch of both bottoms puts the machine in stand by, if you don’t want to have it shut on its own after 25 min. Naturally, there are many settings you optionally may access for programming to change the TEMPERATURE and also the WATER QUANTITY!! MINE is mega HOT exactly as I love it!! The process of inserting the pods and its semi - automatic extraction - when you just clean - or fully automatic if you’d make another coffee is like the NESPRESSO Original: I ❤️ it!! You can make one espresso after another in a row, since it doesn’t take time to reheat: always ready to go!! >>> THIS ESPRESSO/COFFEE MAKER IS EXTREMELY QUIET!! <<< The pod compartment looks precisely as the original NESPRESSO machine, it fits 6 - 8 (‘!) pods. The only thing I haven’t figured is WHY is water in the pod disposal? Is that factory setting or is my machine - used purchase - DEFECTIVE? Read more
Incredible mini machine. Have had several of these for travel in the past, they were all pretty good, but this one is outstanding. Makes great espresso and is very light and easy to use and maintain. Definitely five stars! Read more
The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using the Rinkos espresso maker for a couple of weeks now, and wow—I'm seriously impressed. First off, it looks sleek and takes up almost no space on my counter. But the real game-changer? The espresso. It comes out rich, smooth, and with a beautiful crema thanks to the 20-bar pressure. It heats up super fast (like 30 seconds!) and has two cup sizes, which is great for my morning espresso and afternoon lungo. Cleaning is a breeze with the removable water tank and drip tray. Honestly, it feels like I’m getting café-quality espresso at home—for a fraction of the price. 10/10 recommend if you love espresso but don’t want to break the bank (or clutter your kitchen!)

My initial evaluation, shortly after easily assembling and having our first cup! A sensational little economic winner, for those who ca'nt shop at Tiffanys! (and/or, have limited kitchen space. I hope this little resourceful company, ALSO considers designing a milk warmer/frother soon, as well! Read more
Works well. Water reservoir could be bigger. Read more
Got this for our upstairs coffee bar, it’s nice not having to go downstairs to make a cup then back upstairs when having to get ready early mornings. So far it’s working very nicely. Read more
Good machine Read more
The media could not be loaded. This compact espresso machine from Rinkos works with Nespresso-compatible coffee capsules and has a sleek design that looks nice sitting on out the countertop. In my video, I tested the machine with a Starbucks-branded capsule, but there are of course many others available for use. Operation of the machine is very straightforward, especially if you’ve used one of these machines before at a hotel or business. Once it comes up to temperature, you just inert a capsule and close the top sliding door, put a cup under the spout, and press the Small-size or Large-size button on top. Note that the sliding door doesn’t have the interlock function that some of these units have, so you do have to make sure it is completely shut to avoid having hot water escape. Adjusting the water volume for the Small size and Large size cups is straightforward and it is also possible to adjust the water temperature to make the resulting coffee hotter if desired. I found that the default water volume was too large for the white cup I used in the video, so I adjusted the water volume downward somewhat; however, I didn’t feel that I needed to adjust the default water temperature.
