- Finally a Nespresso Machine that works as it should... almost. This is a great looking, good performing machine that makes excellent micro-foam. Far superior to the Frother on the Gran Lattissima which has serious issues.

I measured the temperature of a lungo right after it was made and my Thermapen MK4 gave a reading of 163F.
Very nice nd detailed review.. 👍🏻I infact pressed the thumbs up button 3 mins into the video .. I have just ordered creatista plus yesterday and expecting delivery today .. cant wait to try out, so been watching the videos on youtube. I'm not even big coffee drinker , mostly have lattes and machiatos .. do you have any suggestions for the pods .. thanks
Also very good tip for descaling the machine, I actually use vinegar to descale my kettle, washing machine and sometimes dishwasher.. but never thought of using this method on coffee machine.. thanks for the great tip

Really enjoyed the review, very well made! We were actually deliberating whether to get this or the Gran Lattissima (also saw the review of the guy complaining the Creatista Plus trays are flimsy and made me doubt if worth it). Thanks for helping with the decision!
I purchased this machine following your recommendation from your other review video.
.....I LOVE IT!! I find that I skip dessert/coffee in restaurants now because my coffee at home is much better!!
Great video, and thanks again! 😁
Hayley Mcardle so glad you're happy with it. I think it's pretty sweet too.
Greetings from Australia. Thank you very much for posting this video. I love the review.
Thanks for leaving a positive comment. I have a friend who lives in Brisbane. Love Australia.
Probably the best review I’ve seen on this machine. Well done!
Thank you. I appreciate it.
I agree. Just got the machine yesterday and this was such a great review and explainer!
Thanks for the video. Convinced me to go out and buy one of these. Just made my first Latte and pretty impressed. I downgraded from my Bezzera machine to save on space which is a step backwards but surprisingly not to bad at all.
Clearly it's not the ultimate espresso machine but it is so darn convenient, looks cool and works well.
Thanks for the straight forward review. Very helpful.
Very nice review. Clear, succinct, and to the point. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Yes, you’re right
Helpful and thorough review! Thanks
such an awesome tutorial and review, thank you!
Just watched this. You convinced me to buy it. Well presented..Thank you
I don 't think you'll regret your decision. One e you get it, let me know how you like it.
You sold me on this. Great review, thanks!
Did you get it? How do you like it?
Great review!
Great simple clear instructions. Thanks. Just one thing...how can I make say a 200ml liquid coffee??
I have this same machine and it has been amazing. I've always cleaned the steam wand when requested, I have de-scaled it with Nespresso de-scaler and I have used Nespresso pods. In the past couple of months, it says "attach steam tip". I have replaced the steam tip with a brand new one and the problem still persists. I have also reset the machine, de-scaled it again (despite it not being due) and still nothing. Has anyone else encountered this issue? TIA
Your tutorial is brilliant. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Very good detailed review helps a lot in deciding 👌
Did you get one?
@michaelerb oh yes, and we're loving it! Thanks to your review!
Hi there, What size are your cups & what is the largest size glass you could use please??
Very helpful, thank you 🙏🏻
I was kind of hesitant to purchase this espresso machine due to the price though, i think i need to buy this. It looks so functional and well made. Even i may not need to go Starbucks for over 5 dollars latte each time haha. Thanks a lot for this tutorial and clear instruction :)
I do not think you’d regret the purchase. As you said, those $5+ lattes add up. You’ll pay off the machine in no time.
@@michaelerbreviews Thank you Micheal. Excited to make my home made Latte :). Very liking ur video🌷
I wish I’d found you two weeks ago! Just sent my Lattissima Pro back yesterday in a rage. Every day it had milk issues until finally yesterday, it couldn’t suck up the milk into the heating element and the element burned the inside of the machine. The smell of burned plastic filled my kitchen and the machine turned itself off. Thank god that piece of junk is gone.
Wow, And I thought mine was bad.
Awesome demonstration!!!
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
Nice review, thanks! Just wondering: could the ristretto pour going over 1 oz. be due to the fact that the water did not flow thru coffee grinds - or is the grind so fine that it wouldn't make a difference?
You know, I was wondering about that myself. The grounds certainly retain a bit of water but I'm not sure if it's that much. In the end I don't think it makes much difference, it was just something I noticed.
I purchased this machine, it's beautiful and works great. I just want coffe at home.
Glad you like the machine. We love it too.
Great vid! Thanks
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
So helpful! I was so set on the gran latissima, happy I didn't impulse buy. Thank you!
Don't do it. If you're set on a nespresso machine, this is the one to get if you want milk-based coffee drinks
Nespresso are throwing free coffee pods at me because they know that people are getting pods from supermarkets and I have been with nespresso for 14 years. Great review thanks. People need to preheat the cups first .
Never increase water through pods as it will drag out the Burnt bitter flavors and ruin your drinks.
Oh wow! What kinds of offers are they sending you?
Good review. How do you find keeping the stainless steel clean, fingerprints etc? Would you with steel again or a different finish? Thank you!
I find it pretty easy to keep it clean. I use basic window cleaner sprayed on a microfiber cloth. Simple as that. I also will use a spray-on stainless steel cleaner, but not too often since that one is oil based. But it helps reduce fingerprints. I have no regrets with the stainless steel finish and would order it again if for no other reason than iIt matches the rest of our appliances.
Thank you for this awesome review on this machine! Where did you buy your mugs?
They were purchased in Amazon. Double wall insulated espresso cups.
Here’s a link to similar cups. amzn.to/3egp3ME
Super Review
Great Video,thank you!
You're welcome. Glad you liked it.
Good clear review. I plan to purchase this machine to replace my Pixie machine which stopped working after 7.5 years. Would like to be able to set things up yourself. This machine also gets many good reviews on various sites.
T. Dommel I am very happy with the machine. I’m also convinced that the steam wand can produce suitable micro-foam fit latte art. I’ve been consuming TH-cam videos on how to do latte art for the last two days. Ha ha. I still haven’t progressed much beyond a white blob but I’m working on it.
Love your review. I love my milk hot can you froth the milk longer? We’re did you get your cups from? Thanjs
The temperature of the milk can be adjusted from 133 to 169°F. I got my cups on Amazon. Here is a link to similar cups. amzn.to/3pGYMLq
Good explanation!
Glad you think so!
Great video,thank you
Thank you too!
Great video you convinced me.
Glad to hear it! Did you get it and do you love it?
Nice video. How do I increase the froth ? Thank you!
Go into the menu and adjust it there
Is that black circle thing inside the water tank supposed to be moving like loose?
Yes. It's a magnetic sensor that floats with water level. When level is low, machine alerts you to low water level.
Just a quick question, let’s say if I want to make a latte, should I use the expresso or the lungo capsules? I know the lungo is a long shot of expresso but I was just wondering which would be better.
The machine has a settings panel for each drink you want to make. In the case of Cafe Latte, you can adjust the volume of espresso in 5 levels. You can use either an espresso capsule or a Lungo capsule. If you choose a Lungo capsule, you can then adjust the volume being made to a higher amount to make your Latte stronger. If you just use the default volume, then you can use either capsule but it would not suffer if you just used an espresso capsule since it will be using 1.3oz of water which is just about right.
Great job thank you
Thanks for your comment.
hello sir i bought the plus too but my expresso is not hot. its a brand new machine. pl guide
It might be defective. I would take it back from where you bought it and get it replaced.
Is having water in pod collector after making any drink is common thing?
It is not unusual for there to be some water collecting. After you eject the pod there’s still a little bit of water remaining that will drip into the tray.
Is the espresso in the first shot being mixed with water? It looked light brown
At 10:25? Yes, that was a Lungo
Great review. I just got one of these as it makes froth much the same as the coffee shops. Earlier machines did not seem to work as well, nor did my separate milk frother.
Just wondering: Do you use the lungo capsules when making a lungo or just the normal espresso-size capsules? Do you know what the difference is? Is there more coffee in the lungo?
Thanks so much!
Totally agree. The frothing wand on this machine is far superior to the method used in the Gran Lattissima which is my prior Nespresso machine and is more like the "real deal" of a professional espresso machine.
Regarding the differentiation of the capsules, the amount of coffee in each capsule (ristretto, espresso, lungo) is the same... about 5 g. It's the type of coffee inside that is the main difference. If you tried to make a lungo sized drink from a ristretto or espresso capsule it would probably be weaker since more water is being used to make a lungo. Conversely, if you used a lungo capsule to make a ristretto or espresso, you'd not be realizing the full taste spectrum of the capsule since you are only putting a fraction of the amount of water through it.
@@michaelerbreviews OK. Thanks for that explanation.
Does the coffee come out hot? Also can you make the milk foam first then the espresso?
It is hot in my opinion, 163F. You can make froth first then an espresso or lungo if you go full manual but the preset drinks do what they do in the order they want.
@@michaelerbreviews thank you so much for responding!
Never knew about the small lmplement to poke out the small holes in the frother
I've only had to use it once but yeah, it's kind of hidden away.
I really dig the novelty and convenience of nespresso machines but I feel the coffee and faux foam they crank out is just terrible compared to what is possible and feel appalled when these pods and machines toss around the "espresso" word. I hope to one day see a pod based machine produce a true steam pressurized 9 bar extraction. Great review and good looking machine
I would not say that Nespresso Espresso is just terrible. It's not barista level by any means but it is certainly a palatable espresso requiring a push of a button to make and enjoy. As far as faux crema, crema is produced by the heat and pressure of water moving through the ground coffee thus releasing CO2 causing the formation of "crema." How is this faux crema in the original line Nespresso pods? I feel that the freshness of the coffee is the main detraction to any pod or capsule based machine. You just don't really know how fresh the coffee is. Having said all that, I'd recommend someone look at an Automatic Espresso Machine for a better espresso. You control the freshness of the beans and you still have one-button convenience without any wasteful pods or capsules.
@@michaelerbreviews Nespresso machines and those expensive bean to cup "espresso" machines use air pumps to inject microbubbles into the brewing water in nespresso's case the nitrogen charge also helps but this is producing nothing more than a standard cup of coffee with a layer of air froth aka faux crema. You could dump a cup of coffee into a blender and get the same result as James Hoffman has shown in his Vertuo review video. In order to get that true golden orangish yellow oily co2 based crema to come out you need to apply 195 degrees and 15 bars (218 psi) of pressure through a compressed puck of very fine coffee grounds and all under 30 seconds hence the name espresso (express press). I cant help but get irritated when these gimmicky coffee machines toss the word espresso around at the end of the day it is false advertising that adds confusion to the consumer coffee world.
@@fivestar2227 I've seen Hoffman's Vertuo video but the Vertuo is a different beast than the original line method. And since I am not aware of air pumps injecting air into the brewing water, please provide a link to an authoritative source because if that is true, I"d love to know more about it. As we both know true Espresso as a method of brewing coffee that is defined by a process of forcing hot water under pressure through coffee grounds and if method doesn't adhere to the defined process then it isn't true Espresso. People will differ on what defines a true Espresso but it's a bit easier to spot something that is not true Espresso such as using a Moka pot. A Moka pot does not make Espresso, it makes very strong coffee. In any case please provide some links that explain how Nespresso original line machines inject micro bubbles into the brewing water. I'm very curious.
Hi do u have the manual mode
No
Is it possible to steam the milk with the steamer pointed outwards? Or do you HAVE to put it down and let it stay. I've worked as a barista and prefer to hold and tilt it as I want
It is not intended to be used in that way. There is a temperature sensor that would prevent it from working that way anyway.
had the exact same issue, got a gran latissima, frother was so unreliable, took it back, got one of these instead. much better
I'm with you. The Creatista is far superior.
I like his way of explaining everything, smooth and descriptive. However, that was not crema, it's just bubbles/air into your coffee. If you pour your regular coffee in a blender, you'll get the same results and even more foam but not crema.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. Nespresso crema is not as good as a crema developed from a dedicated espresso machine. No arguing that. But crema is the result of hot water being forced through freshly ground coffee which releases oils, fats and carbon dioxide creating this wonderful looking, thick, creamy stuff which rises to the top of the espresso as it is being pulled. Freshly ground coffee, the type of bean, the quality of the grind also influences this. Old beans have lost most of their CO2 so crema won't be developed nearly as much if at all, even in a good espresso machine.
Now normally a double espresso will be made with roughly 18g of freshly ground coffee. A typical Original Nespresso pod has 1/4 to 1/3 that amount of coffee in it. Additionally that coffee is not freshly ground. We don't really even know how fresh it is other than a Best Buy date which really isn't too helpful. So the resulting Nespresso crema is not as rich and creamy. I'ts lighter in color, not as thick, etc. It is crema, it's just not great crema.
After 11 month of use, what can you tell me about that?
And I'm very confused, in the previous video about "Gran Lattissima" you sey that you have a problem in the milk (you get water instead milk) and a lot people say me that is a great machine, And on this "CREATISTA PLUS" you sey that is very good, when a lot people complain on low quality machine, and not doing a geat frothed milk..
So I'm very confuse...
The problem you was have on the Gran Lattissima it was because you not clean the machine after each use? Or happen in any case even if you clean each time use?
The Creatista Plus is the best Nespresso machine I have owned. It makes excellent froth. The Gran Lattissima is terrible and if you go to the Nespresso website, you will see many reviews echoing what I have said, My previous review of it shows the results. Avoid the Gran Lattissima. The Creatista Plus is the machine to get. After nearly a year of using it every day, several times a day, I can not complain about a single thing. It is a great machine.
@@michaelerbreviews Thank you
Have a Good Shabess
Can you program settings like the pro?
Each drink can be customized as to volume of espresso, amount of froth and milk temperature. It does not have a touch screen.
@@michaelerbreviews but does it safe the settings once you changed it or will they be reseted to default when machine is turned off?
@@dertelefonmann6667 it saves the settings
@@michaelerbreviews well that was a quick response - thanks alot! You helped me deciding to buy this one and not the pricier Pro version, because the only reason to spend that extra money I thought was beeing able to costumize the drinks, but you can do it with this machine as well. Thanks alot and greetings from Germany :)
@@dertelefonmann6667 I think you'll be quite happy with this machine. I love it.
Just one minor;
Running the machine without a capsule is a "no go" for the pump. He can't build pressure. That is never good.
Thanks for the nice review. 👍🏻
Thanks for your comment. I doubt there will be any issues running the pump without a capsule. Descaling the machine requires the pump to run with no capsule and also when you prepare the machine for long-term storage you must also run the pump without a capsule to empty the system.
the real deal
I'm loving it.
can you just make a cup of copy
coffee?
@@bobbibryant1977 This machine makes an espresso that you can then use to make other drinks. Adding more water to an espresso makes a Lungo. Making a couple Lungos using a couple pods will make what we Americans would call a cup of coffee. A cup of coffee is usually thought of as 8oz. So no, this machine does not make an 8oz cup of coffee, but it will make Lungo.
my expresso was cold
Mine comes out at 155-165 degrees. The second one is always higher temp than the first which makes sense since everything inside is warmed up by the first one.
Just show me how to turn it on
9:26
Sounds annoyingly loud!
It’s typical of machines of this type and not as loud as most. To what are you basing the "annoyingly loud" comment of this?
Compared to a Drip coffee maker, French Press or Pourover, yes this is louder than that, Compared to an Espresso Machine, Keurig or other Nespresso machine, this is on par or not as loud depending on what you are comparing it to.
You can buy an actual espresso machine for the price of this wannabe.
Right. And many people want a simple, convenient way to make espresso.
yes, even cheaper, but this one has a mess free quick way of making espresso and automatic milk frothing, which is perfect for many people
