they did a horrible job. The double is how much espresso you want. Typically a small 12 oz at a coffee shop will have a single shot of espresso. anything larger such as a 16 oz will use a double shot. The cappuccino has more foam than a latte.
Hi, my aero into milk frothier is now not working properly. The red light turns on for about 5 seconds and turns off! No Froth or hot milk now, are you able to help? Thanks
I don't own this machine, nor would I want it... but I went back and noticed something else about the espresso shots... not the "EXPRESSO" shots being spoken in the video is that their single shot only took 9-11 seconds and for a double shot only 15-18 second... that's way too fast for a correct pull. a 2 ounce shot should take around 25 seconds from star to finish with proper grind and pressure... 19bars of pressure really means nothing as you only need around 9bars on a perfect pull... You can also tell the shot is watered down in flavor with very little true creme because the stream is nearly all water at the end and the perceived creme looks like simple air bubbles because the pull is so fast. I am also confused with these pod espresso machines as the pods have the same amount of coffee in each. How does that allow for a properly pulled single to double shot espresso using a universal pod? A single shot usually has around 9 grams and a double shot at around 18 grams.
Great points. Although I prefer the taste of nespresso to kurig, when it comes down to it, neither produce a truly high grade coffee / expresso product.
I'm not an expert, but nespresso doesn't make double shots. it makes single shots or lungo's which they call a longer pull. its a less potent but larger drink. if you want a double shot in this machine you would use two pods which is what i do every morning. you can also set the timer to make your single shot shorter which they call a ristretto. they tell you which pods work best for your presence of strength.
Scotty D I'm not an engineer for Espresso but as far as I know Nestlé actually puts different amounts of coffee into pods that serve different purposes. It is even made clear on the Dolce Gusto pods. If that's the case with Nespresso, then every capsule for a cappuccino has more coffee in it than ones for espresso, that's why they define the pods as lungo or espresso beside the flavour.
Lattissima Pro has a Ristretto-function, + more buttons, automatic pour from milk to coffee-cup and also a display with many functions. //Former Nespresso employee
Leo M the Lattissima makes the milk foam automatically, which doesn't require human interaction. If you want a milky coffee fast and no fuss, go for it. But it takes away your freedom over the milk steaming process, so if you want your hands in it, go for the Citiz.
Hi Marisa, They don't have specific mocha or hot chocolate capsules that I'm aware of. But you could add chocolate to frothed and heated milk for very nice hot chocolate or same to espresso and milk for mocha.
Acheté Cafetière Nespresso Citiz'milk il y a 3 ans. Bon café mais l'émulsionneur de lait n'a jamais fonctionné correctement. Le prix de la cafetière ne correspond pas à la qualité de la machine. Trop cher ! Méfiance !!
Had mine for years still works perfect!
Hi TRJ, Thanks for the comment!
Tony Ray Jones same
Well explained! Thank you guys! Now I know how to operate mine.
Hi IV, You are welcome and thank you for the comment!
Thanks for the walk-through: nice and straight-forward. Well done.
Hi s, You are welcome and thank you for the comment!
Can I actually program it to fill a normal (guess 200ml..?) cup or would it be too mild?
Thanks Zac and Randy. That was a top notch review. Bloody loving your work.
***** Thanks!
So for either a latte or a cappuccino we press the double shot button?

It's espresso not expresso ..

Hi KB, Best bet is contacting Nespresso: www.nespresso.com/us/en/service-customer-care
Does he really keep saying "EXPRESSO"?
Unfortunately. Yes.

Scotty D you can program the shots to however long you want.
Yes but the amount of coffee for a single shot and a double shot is different. So you cannot have a universal single pod that brews both amounts.

Great review. I bet you are Randy too.
thanks gentls
so, i lost the magnetic spring piece, how do i find a replacement?
+Ayyash Ayyash Assuming you are referring to the frothing attachment? The part should be available from the Nespresso Club: www.nespresso.com
Look for it at the bottom of your dishwasher.
Children pick Nespresso coffee beans in Guatamala.
Bummer
