But there is even more than you see to Pixie. Pixie contains the very best of Nespresso condensed but without compromise: the unique Nespresso System inside. Brilliant in its simplicity, the Nespresso System – the interaction between the machine and the original Nespresso capsule—enables Nespresso to control every variable to produce the perfect in-cup result, time and again. The System’s extraction and brewing unit with its 19-bar pressure pump—manages the interplay of all factors – such as pressure, water temperature and quantity—needed to achieve a consistent result, creating the perfect coffee every time.
