Nivona is more than just a bean-to-cup coffee machine manufacturer. It combines premium quality with affordable prices, and provides you with reliable, intuitively operated brewing appliances. This was our goal right from the start.” That’s how Nivona—one of the few companies in the world focusing exclusively on the production of bean-to-cup coffee machines—introduces itself.
The story of Nivona began in Germany, when the company’s founders—Peter Wildner, Thomas Meier and Hans Errmann, who all worked for a famous Nuremberg household appliance manufacturer at the time—noticed a lack of universally affordable high-quality bean-to-cup coffee machines on the market. Driven by their passion for coffee and a wish to share their knowledge with the rest of the world, the three friends established a company called Nivona in 2005. This name is now known and loved by thousands of coffee connoisseurs worldwide.
What sets Nivona coffee machines apart from the rest are innovative brewing technologies, simple operation, attractive design, easy maintenance and excellent value for money. There’s a wide selection of models available, so you’re bound to find something that’s suited perfectly to your needs and wants. Coffee Friend’s range of products includes every Nivona model out there. To find out more about each of them, scroll down to the last section of this post.
When working on further improving its appliances, Nivona focuses on two key aspects: these are exceptional coffee taste and ease of use. It’s all reflected in the unique features of these coffee machines too:
This technology is like your personal barista! There are around 800 different aromas hidden in every coffee bean, and each of them can be modified using various brewing methods. Aroma Balance System lets you decide for yourself what kind of flavours you’d like to highlight in the resulting cuppa.
Coffee beans are crammed with hundreds of aromatic substances, lipids, bitter compounds, acids and minerals, all of which are unveiled in the drink using water and pressure. By changing up the way you brew your coffee, you can get these substances to distribute differently and hence create unexpected flavours. This is exactly what the three flavour profiles created by Nivona engineers are based on. Choose between the Dynamic, Constant and Intense options to have your coffee brewed using different pressures, throughput speeds and time periods allowed for the circulation of hot water within freshly ground beans.
The Dynamic option will endow your drink with some light acidity, fruitiness and a particularly balanced taste. The Constant profile will result in bittersweet, piquant, rich flavours. If you prefer your coffee particularly rich, vivid and pleasantly bitter, the Intense mode will work best for you.
All Nivona models are capable of whipping up some dense, yummy milk foam. They do that with the help of one of these milk frothing systems:
If none of the built-in recipes sound particularly appealing at the moment, you can go ahead and create your own using the innovative My Coffee feature. The exact number of individual recipes you can create depends on the chosen model.
In addition to boasting convenient displays of different types (graphic, colour TFT or touch-sensitive colour TFT), most Nivona models can be operated straight from a smart device. Simply download the dedicated Nivona smart app and connect your phone or tablet to the coffee machine via Bluetooth.
The maintenance of these machines is fully automated: they’re equipped with automatic programs for descaling, cleaning the brew unit and rinsing the milk system. All you have to do is select the desired program, then follow the steps displayed on the screen. When running these programs, use special Nivona maintenance products or Coffee Friend’s universal maintenance products designed for all kinds of coffee machines. The simplicity with which Nivona milk systems are rinsed deserves a separate mention, of course. Just put the milk tube in the drip tray, select the rinsing program, then watch the machine use hot steam and water to rinse the milk system all by itself.
To make using your appliance even simpler, take advantage of Nivona coffee machine accessories. A Nivona milk container, for example, will help you use the milk system with ease. You’ll also be able to store the container in a fridge or even wash it in a dishwasher. If you’re looking for maximum convenience, consider purchasing a Nivona milk cooler too. It’s designed to hold a single 1-litre milk carton and will keep your milk perfectly cool.
