The Nivona NICR 690 is the entry model of series 6 in matte black with chrome details. What sets it apart from the basic series 5 is what matters: the Aroma Balance System, which affects flavor right during brewing, and a milk frother built into the coffee outlet. We recommend it for a household that drinks mainly espresso and coffee and froths milk only occasionally – cappuccino here is made in two steps, without the tube and automation of the higher lines.

Technology in every cup

What makes coffee from this machine exceptional.

Aroma Balance System

5 flavors from the same beans — no need to switch coffee

Built on top of the Aromatica system: the machine adjusts brewing time and water flow rate in real time — one of the few on the market to do so (ordinary bean-to-cup machines, including Jura's P.E.P., work with a fixed or pulsed flow). Pick an aroma profile and the same beans give you a different cup: Dynamic highlights fruity notes and gentle acidity (ideal for 100% arabica), Constant is the balanced everyday classic, and Intense delivers a strong chocolatey taste for espresso and milk drinks. The NICR and CUBE lines offer 3 profiles, the new NIVO 8000/9000 generation up to 5 (adding Harmonic — a soft, rounded taste with no bitterness, and Quick — a fresh, light coffee).

SPUMATORE / SPUMATORE DUOplus

Silky milk foam at a touch

The SPUMATORE frother prepares fine, dense milk foam straight into the cup for a cappuccino or latte macchiato. The DUOplus version can froth milk for two cups at once, and the system rinses itself after every drink. The result is café-style creamy foam with zero effort.

Quiet conical grinder

Freshly ground beans, almost in silence

The hardened-steel conical grinder mills the beans gently and evenly, so they keep their full aroma. Thanks to thorough soundproofing it is among the quietest on the market — you can make your morning coffee without waking the whole household.

One-Touch preparation

Cappuccino at the press of a button

Just connect the milk and press a single button — the machine prepares a cappuccino or latte macchiato in the right order and ratio by itself. No moving the cup around, no manual frothing. Your favorite drink is ready in seconds.

Perfect crema

Golden foam on every espresso

Crema is the fine, golden foam of micro-bubbles, oils and carbon dioxide that only forms under high pressure during extraction. A pump delivering up to 15 bar, together with freshly ground beans, creates it reliably in every cup. It is the mark of a properly made espresso and carries most of its aroma.

My Coffee

Your recipes at a single touch

The “My Coffee” function lets you save your favorite drinks with your own strength, volume and temperature settings — 5 to 18 recipes depending on the model. Every member of the household gets exactly the coffee they like. Just name the recipe, and next time it's ready with a single tap.

Nivona App and Bluetooth

Control straight from your phone

Pair the machine over Bluetooth with the free NIVONA App for iOS and Android. Start brewing from your phone, adjust recipes or track consumption statistics. Your coffee can be waiting for you by the time you reach the kitchen.

CLARIS water filter

Clean water, no limescale

The CLARIS filter removes limescale and impurities from the water before it even enters the machine. It protects the inside of the machine from scale build-up and extends its life, while the coffee tastes cleaner. The machine itself tells you when it is time to replace the filter.

ECO mode

Saves energy — and your bills

In the energy-saving ECO mode the machine cuts its consumption, and on standby it draws almost no power. You save money and the environment without giving up quick preparation. Once switched on, the machine is ready again in a moment.

Pre-heating system

The right temperature from the first drop

The pre-heating system warms up the brewing circuit before preparation, so the coffee flows into the cup at the ideal temperature right from the start. The aroma develops fully and the drink is never lukewarm. You can count on hot coffee even with the very first cup.

Clear color display

Big icons, simple operation

The color display with Big Picture Mode shows the drinks as large, clear icons. Pick your favorite coffee with the rotary dial in seconds. The controls are intuitive for the whole family — no manual required.

Nivona NICR 695

The Nivona NICR 695 is series 6 in a titanium finish with chrome.
