Oh my very days😮 I did not know you could add a second shot while the milk was heating! I adore my Creatista Pro and it was down to you both that I did get one. Thanks so much for that cannot wait to try it! Hope all well with you both 😀
Yeah we’re still using our Creatista Pro now and love it 🙂👍🏼 Think they were the Starbucks Espresso Roast Decaf pods. My wife likes a decaf in the afternoon ☕️
Just tried making a cafe latte for the first time. It makes the coffee first and then once complete starts steaming the milk. Do you know if there's a setting that allows both to happen at the same time? I've seen other videos of people experiencing the same thing. Maybe a US model setting? EDIT: After more Google searching it appears it's due to the lower current draw in the US.
The U.S. models are 110/120 volts /1500 watts, and do not have the Thermo jet technology. The European model , the "Sage Creatista Plus " is 220/240 volts and 2,300 watts, with Thermo jet technology, which is what I have, and can do both at same time,AWESOME ! Bought it off of ebay UK, and i use a step up voltage transformer to run it .
Considering getting this machine. Can you confirm if the supplied jug is stainless steel or aluminium. One reviewer stated aluminium. BTW love all you bring us on your channel, very informative & honest. Thank you. 😀
Hi! I been for a while at this channel and I have a question for you, because I’m thinking to go for a Creatista version… I like my Nespresso coffees but if I expend >500 euro in a Nespresso machine seems like I’m wasting my money, so I was thinking going instead for a super automatic or semi automatic machine BUT, do you think that these kind of machines makes always better coffee thank your Nespresso?? Because I tasted these other machines in offices, hotels and bars, and most of the time I feel like my pods at home are much better… Even at a friends house they tried to prepare his best Espresso but in the end he failed. Also ALWAYS at internet people say that these are configuration problems…. What do you think?
I have no personal experience with semi automatic, using Nespresso at home. And at work, it's full automatic for simplicity sake. Same at friends and family to be fair. In terms of taste, full automatic can be better than Nespresso, but not when you combine a 1000 Eur machine with the cheapest beans on the market. Yet many people tend to go cheap on the beans. Working with quality beans, the taste of full automatic can be better than Nespresso, but rare to come across. An argument against Nespresso often heard is that the coffee is a bit on the watery side, the coffee to volume ratio being low. With a Nespresso espresso being 5g coming down to 40 mL. Personally speaking, what I often do is a double ristretto-like (2x 20 mL) coffee instead of a single espresso. Essentially using 10g of coffee out of 2 pods to make a single espresso volume drink with a Nespresso. This brings more of a sweeter, concentrated flavor with less bitterness. And if I want more of a double espresso experience, I often do 2x ristretto, 1x espresso. Sure, this uses more pods, but it greatly enhances the flavor if you ask me. And with that, the difference in flavor with good beans, to me, is also not that great anymore to warrant the difference in time required of cleaning these devices. My Nespresso machines just work, require very little maintenance and are reliable. The various Jura, Siemens and similar full automatics I've come across not so much. They are in need of so much more attention to keep functioning well. I just don't feel like that at home. So I just stick to Nespresso for at home, and if I'd want a really good espresso instead, I'll just take one at a decent coffee shop.
Hi there. If you mean a bean to cup machine then I did buy one about 18 months ago as wanted to start reviewing a few of those machines but have to say I gave up on it, as found it quite difficult to get a consistently good espresso. That being said, I wish I'd persevered as with the right beans and if you can master the art of pouring a good espresso then the coffee really did taste good and fresh. Think it just comes down to whether you value the convenience and the fact that Nespresso pods do still taste nice or whether you don't mind the time it takes - and sometimes the mess it makes - with a bean to cup machine and if you have the time to learn the process properly. Hope this helps.
@@docfornix Thanks for the answer! I never tried to use two pods with less volume because I thought it will release a stronger coffee in all terms and finally discusting.... . I will try for sure!!
@@A2BProductions I will try to move to no milk coffee first and then I to test better coffee outside. Although for now I will stick with Nespresso and my old Citiz.... Do you notice a better espresso (or milk preparations) with Creatista models vs Normal+Aeroccino ones?
i just have a question about the creatista: if i want to make Cappuccino, can i froth the milk at first before making the espresso/coffee? I have seen everywhere that with the creatista, the milks gets ready AFTER the espresso shot is already in the cup. So you end up getting coffee flat white
Hi there 👋 I just filled it to the max line on the jug with water and it was 250ml though I have gone beyond that and managed to pour 3 cappuccinos / flat whites before 🙂 A little nerve wracking when it froths near to the top of the jug 😅
So there is no difference in making a hot vs iced latte, other than pouring the coffee over ice. Then why have two options on the machine for hot and iced latte?

Thanks for the tip , I didn’t know you can brew a second shot of coffee while you are still steaming the milk 👍🏻
Really glad it helped 👍 Not sure you can in all countries but you definitely can on the UK model of the Creatista Pro machine.

Really glad we were able to tip you off on that one! Anything to get a quicker coffee has to be a good thing doesn't it ☕️😁
I have the pro, best nespresso machine ive had..
Im interested in which pod you just used mate? Great crema

Thanks 😁 Glad you like the videos 👍🏼 I always understood it was stainless steel and the Nespresso website also confirms this. Hope that helps.
@@A2BProductions that’s great, thanks for clarifying. I should be taking delivery of my Pro tomorrow.

I do prefer the milk texture from the steam wand on the Creatista vs aeroccino but don't notice much difference with the espresso myself.

Thanks for the support 😁
What’s the max milk you can pour into the jug?
Hi there 👋 I just filled it to the max line on the jug with water and it was 250ml though I have gone beyond that and managed to pour 3 cappuccinos / flat whites before 🙂 A little nerve wracking when it froths near to the top of the jug 😅
Is the water hotter than the vertuo next?
Yes it is
Sir how much milk in ml did u add?
