What's different between Nespresso Pixie and CitiZ?

Mostly just style, size, and portability. I got the pixie because I didn't want it to take up as much room and so I could take it with me when travelling. I like the frother separate. They both brew all of the options, the pixie has a flip up shelf for a larger cup or glass to fit under. I did my research on Nespresso.com and purchased on http://amazon.com. The coffee was cheaper on Nespresso.Com and when you register your new machine there use to be a discount for ordering coffee.

I am sorry that I cannot help you because I am not familiar with the CitiZ.

sorry, i have no clue what CitiZ is? Nespresso Pixie is the name of the coffee machine we purchased.

The Pixie capsules are specifically for pixie. The new capsules designed for the nespresso Vertuoline isn't compatible with pixie. I bought my pixie in 2012 and the original capsules are all compatible as I just bought the new flavors.

I don't know as this purchase was a request for someone overseas. I do not have a Nespresso Machine. Too expensive for me. I'm sorry I am no help.

I have a Nespresso (Citiz?). I'm sure they only make one size coffee pod, so it should fit in your machine.

No the pods are different. The pods for the Tassimo come in a silver bag latte cappuccino's all of that will have a milk pod and then the espresso pod. A tip that I found that works well when your Plus sign light comes on tap it to completely empty the milk pod. 10 times better then Keurig

Unfortunately these are very tampermental, subpar cups, I had trouble with them getting stuck in my citiz, and even when it was good and I tamped pretty strongly, it still came out very weak. I guess you could compare nespresso to apple in the sense that it works great with their own products, but 3rd party products just don't work well with it. (It'seems likely intended this way). Sorry, but I can only suggest you do not buy it again

I have a Nespresso Citi, but it would probably work. All pods sold by Nespresso pods are the same size. So I am assuming it would work. However, these refillables are difficult to handle. The lids for these pods are difficult to peel off from the sheet, and cumbersome to place on the pod. But if you want to use your own coffee, it's worthwhile.

it works in my Pixie....I do have some difficulties in having the machine release the capsule after being used. About 30% I have to removed the spend capsule by manipulating it with my fingers, which results is the spurt of hot water on my hands....and frequently I have difficulty in placement of the thin foil. I do like that I can use different coffee options - and that is far less expensive than the capsules from Nespresso.

You have to use the Nespresso's coffee pods! I have to tell you that this is Fabulous machine! I watch for the specials that they have & free shipping from time to time. That's when I stock up. The Nespresso machine & coffee are a real treat for me now that I've found my favorite flavors. I hope this helps! It is also so much easier to clean than older styles of espresso makers! I know some people may be thinking of the Keurig capsules which you can use your own coffee for that machine & they say they would rather buy them already filled.

The Starbucks Pods DO NOT work in the Nespresso machine. I just found out the hard way. I was excited to see Starbucks coffee pods for $11.99 (a dollar each) so I bought two boxes thinking I would use them at work this morning. WRONG, they are too big, save yourself the headache.

No. Illy actually makes 2 different things, ESE pods and iperEspresso capsules. ESE pods are standard, they are made by numerous manufacturers, and fit different espresso machines. IperEspresso are proprietary Illy technology and IMO they are so far the closest thing to a traditional Italian espresso. In Europe they even have large professional iperEspresso machines in some hotels and restaurants.

Works ok with my Pixie so it probably should. They still aren't as good as the Nespresso pods...lids broke off after just a few weeks of use. I can still use them, but it's a hassle.

Ok, I am happy to help. First, the Nespresso coffee is the best and so is this little Pixie machine: easy to use, easy to clean (of course you have to use the Nespresso cleanser). If you take care of it, it will last for years.I am French, and I know what I am taking about, believe me. Happy coffee time. Katherine

They both are strong and good for espresso, but they have different taste. You may try which one you better like.

The pods are the same size as the Nespresso pods and fit my CITIZ without problems. Since the Nespresso machines only use one size pod, I assume they will work the same in the U. These pods make single espresso well. Haven't found a coffee brand that makes a Lungo strength drink, but that's not a problem with the pod. You have to put them in correctly, otherwise they get stuck when you go to release them. But they are easy to extract by hand if that happens. They are easy to clean. When I'm lazy, I just put them in the dishwasher silverware tray. Nice option to buying the Nespresso pods.
