- A review of the Sage Creatista Plus. We take a look to see if this machine that is 4 times the price of the base machines has 4 times the performance. We also compare it to our favourite machine. The Nespresso Vertuo.

You don’t have to muck around with settings each time, I programmed in my perfect cappuccino, flat white, lungo etc the one time and that’s it...so all you have to do is turn the knob to what coffee you are having and press go, settings already in there 🤷🏻♀️ not rocket science....looooove my machine 👍🏻
What an AMAZING video. I love the considerations you provided. This review helped me with the decision for my purchase!!!
Great review - thank you. I was torn which machine to get but after watching your video I have ordered the creatista 😊
I've never been this excited listening to someone talk about coffee. And I love coffee. Lol. Love your reviews. Thank you.
Taylor we’re doing a review next week comparing a £800 bean to cup machine to a £79 nespresso machine. A blind test/taste.
@@TruthReviews that sounds interesting. I can't wait to see who wins. 😄
@@TruthReviews hey! Did you ever end up doing the comparing video?
When you clean a milk wand in any machine you traditionally put a damp cloth under it to prevent all that splashing around you experienced.
The Creatista, like other traditional Nespresso machines, is designed for volumes approx 25-150ml. Ristretto, Espresso up to Lungo. It brews with a traditional pump. The Vertuo is designed to make drinks up to 400ml, and brews using a centrifuge system. If you like larger drinks, go for the Vertuo. If you prefer smaller drinks, the Creatista probably extracts better flavour.
What the Creatista really does better than other machines is foam milk. The point is not to produce enough foam to fill a room. The point is that, among automated home/consumer machines, it can produce by far the best microfoam - something Sage (the UK brand of the Australian company Breville) has really perfected.
Does the Vertuo produce hot enough drinks?
@@delmartinis Never heard any complaints along those lines.
For me yes. I need to usually let it cook a bit before I drink my coffee.
Yes i agree the foam it produces is great but the foaming action of the machine does not last long at all before it just blows cold, large bubbles...
Thanks for this video! I LIKE that it has all the settings, but does it have presets or anything to speed up the process if you have a favorite set of settings?
Thanks for the video very informative, my son found one of these in perfect condition on a rubbish pick up so I can't complain about the price 😊
I’ve never been able to get milk to the correct flat white consistency using my standard (one-button) Aeroccino, it always turns out frothy on the top only and effectively results in a cappuccino. The steaming capability here has me considering this as an upgrade, is the steamer that good?
If make choices first time
Is there any way to save it so you don’t need to re set again all the options
My frother doesn't work this well - never has. Have you noticed consistency issues or have heard of others having issues with the frother?
Is the texture of the milk ideal for latte art?
May I ask where you got the video you cut in at 4:17? It look's very Nestle Corporate. Thanks. Great review. This put me over the top.
All my friends that escaped from working at Starbucks but actually miss the process of making the coffee have this machine and all my friends that are boujie and just want fantastic fast coffee at home have one of the Vertuo machines with all the Vertuo glass accessories lol
Surely the problem with the Aerocc is that it spins the milk, it doesn't steam it. Saying that, it does an amazing job. But our new Creatista is a league ahead and beautifully made. I find the minute or so it takes to make a coffee is fun. I certainly agree with most of your points.
bought one after trying the tassimno machines which franbkly taste nothing like coffee and seem to be for making long drinks with uht whipped milk ! great coffee. black of course and creat frother for what ever you want to use it for , one downside the lcd screen is in a stupid place and you cant read if if daylight is on it so i have to hold my hand over it to shade it as my machine has a window behind it , thanks for the review
Love the counters. Soapstone?
What is the difference between a long ristreto and a normal expresso? Are the two drinks made at a different temperature?
Hi! How do you adjust water temperature on your Creatista? All I can do on mine is adjust how hot the milk is going to be 🤔 It would be useful when I make a lungo and add cold milk from the fridge...
You can't
Thanks for your helpful review, BUT something is wrong. You can‘t change the temperature of the water for coffee. You „only“ can change the temperature of the milkfroth and the quantity of the coffee. Thats a difference!
Hello after 3 years is still going? Or like many it was a faulty machine?
5.45 Milk: The Creatista 'steams' the milk while the Aeroccino 'whisks' it......so yes, the froth/texture/final result will be diff...completely different. Wand steaming will ALWAYS give better results.
Indeed, the consistency of the froth is seems to be different. I dont think i prefer the bubbly looks of the aeroccini milk. Think im gonna go with steam frother instead. P/s: Still deciding which to get 😅
I just bought this machine and when I first turn the knob for menu choices, the knob seems flimsy like it's been used for months. Is that how it's supposed to be?
Not sure what you mean. But if you’re worried it’s used I would get it replaced. The knob didn’t feel flimsy on mine.
I’m coming from a Barista Express which has just packed in after 5 years, so should be straightforward (he says 😂).
Apart from the technical aspects, it looks like a machine tailored for those who enjoy cleaning and have time to clean kitchen utensils frequently.
Just curious as to your view of the Creatista after a few months of ownership? I’m tempted to get the plus but there are a lot of negative reviews online and issues with the steam wand putting me off...
I want to know too!
Do you mainly drink espresso? If you mainly drink coffee (8oz) such as long black or Americano I would easily go with a vertuo machine and a separate aeroccino frother, will be cheaper and MUCH easier to clean. I did try replacing the unit in this review and had the same issues. I recently purchased the Lattissima one (review coming soon) and had the same issues. The milk would go everywhere and the cleaning involved either putting it in the dishwasher after EVERY USE or soaking it for 30 minutes in dishwasher liquid after every single use. If you have a separate aerroccino it literally takes 20 seconds to wash.
I am super happy with my vertuo but that may be because I never have espresso’s. I mainly have latte’s. If I wanted an espresso machine I would not get this machine. You can get the same quality coffee out of machines half the price.
@@TruthReviews I mainly have lattes and cappuccinos. So do you think it's a good choice?
@@Melissa001 I would go with a Vertuo Machine and a separate milk frother. Will be less than half the price and in my opinion a much better choice. If you for whatever reason do not like the Vertuo machines then try the citiz machine with milk frother attached. Again, half the price and just as good and also a lot easier to clean and maintain. Make sure you get it during one of their many many promos throughout the year where you get £60 worth of free coffee. If unsure you can buy from somewhere like Amazon who will take it back if you are not happy.
@@TruthReviews Hotness is a BIG issue with the 'other' cheaper machines!
what camera did you use to shoot this?
Mixture of cameras. Mainly the BMPCC4K
@@TruthReviews cool, very nice quality
The vertuo can't match this machine when it comes to milk based coffees. It's also a lot more fun to use imo.
I have now had 2 of these machines... They both worked fantastically for a month and then both suffered faults with the frother... I am now looking for a new machine and defo not a sage product..
Excellent review.
Is the creatista plus good for making large cup americanos ?
It would be just fine. But if you’re not using the milk frother, why not get something without the added cost of one?
@@TruthReviews thank you. I’ll tell you why -I did some research;) the creatista plus uses the original Nespresso capsules which are available everywhere (third party ones) and you can get around 100 capsules for £10 on Amazon. The virtuo which is designed for americanos may be cheaper but in the long run you pay more for the capsules as they are the new style which currently only Nespresso offer. I do occasionally make lattes and cappuccinos :)
Am I able to make an Americano in this?
The Pro (vs this plus version) can make an Americano.
It’s an auto frother not manual. You could probably do manual but it’s an auto frother
Wait for the prime day sale, price significantly drops
You are actually wrong in what you are saying you only have to set the milk froth, mike heat and how much coffee goes in your mug once as it keeps its settings
199 now on website for chicory colour version
i think people only get this for the looks
There is no temperature control over the coffee….only the milk. That’s too bad because the coffee from this machine isn’t hot enough
Had mine 3 weeks. Worked great for 2 weeks now it wont froth or heat milk at all. Cleaned the hell out of everything makes no difference. Absolute waste of money... Load of shite.
Four hundred euros for a capsule machine? I don't think so.
Thanks on the honest review I think I will just stick to my old school basic nespresso machine and buy a cheap foam maker from baba.
If it doesn’t hack it I will then buy a new machine 👌
What an AMAZING video. I love the considerations you provided. This review helped me with the decision for my purchase!!!
Thank you for the lovely comment.
