What an amazing review. I REALLY appreciate all of the considerations you included, the camera work, the chapter presets you make, and the level of detail you provide! I just subscribed! Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words and really happy the video helped! Welcome as a subscriber too ☕️😁👍🏼
Top review. You guys keep it real. Good and honest. Really appreciate the time and effort in making these excellent reviews!
Thanks for that, much appreciated 👍
Love your videos! Had the Creatista Plus which I loved and decided to upgrade to the pro after watching your videos. It’s a great machine and do agree that the froth is a little less frothy, but really like the separate hot water feature & Americana option. Also, that you can save your own drink creations. It does give you the option to create a name under the milk froth, but it will change when someone else uses the milk froth in your saved creation or visa versa. So I will have to remember to check the settings just when using the froth alone. Doesn’t do that with the other saved creations. Still a wonderful machine & thank you again for taking the time to familiarize us with these items with your videos. 👍🏼
Really glad the videos have helped and you've found a machine you're happy with! Cheers for pointing that out too as I've never saved a drink under just the milk option before so hadn't noticed that, great for others to know 👍
Excellent review !!! thank you . Very detailed
Thanks, glad you found it helpful 👍🏼
Brilliant Review! Thank you for the time and great effort. It's been a great help to make my decision - size and cost 😊
Great to hear! Thanks and glad it helped 🙂👍
Amazing review. If I knew this, I would definitely buy one of these.
Great channel.
Bought after a few weeks since comment the Plus, and it's fantastic.
thanks for the great video. Time for a new machine and was doubting between the plus and pro. Not made a decision yet, price is still a thingy but this definitely helped!
Glad it was useful. You’ll have to let us know which you go for 👍🏼
New subscriber alert !!! Thank you very much for all your videos. I think you helped me decide which machine to go for and that's the Pro.
By the way, I am loving your accent.
Great to hear you subscribed and can understand the accent 😂 Really glad the videos have helped too, so many machines to choose from nowadays!
Just to say a big thanks🙂 having looked at both have gone for the plus. Having a in problem I find the knob and button press more controllable for me, than a touch screen. The milk texture is lovely and the steam wand is less messy. Idea for 2 people. Am mega happy thanks, wish I'd your reviews sooner😊🙂
Great to hear, thanks. We’ve been using the pro for years now but do feel the milk texture on the plus was a little better. Hope you’re still enjoying your coffee ☕️🙂👍🏼
Great video review! So thorough. My caffeine of choice is a flat white, which to me should have more full-bodied coffee taste and also denser foam. Any thoughts on which machine would be better suited? Thanks!
Good choice! I personally felt the froth from the Creatista Plus was a little less airy so might work for your needs, though some have mentioned the steam wand has broken after time, so might be worth checking long term reviews on that. I also like the Barista recipe maker for flat white milk so might be worth watching a few of our videos of that machine. Think we made a video of a flat white with that machine. Hope this helps and thanks! 👍🏼
Parabéns pelos seus vídeos.
Estou namorando uma creatista pro mas aqui no Brasil quase não tem vídeos sobre ela .vale a pena mesmo o investimento?
Nice video, thank you.
Glad it helped 🙂👍🏼
Im excited for mine now its my mothers day gift ❤❤❤
Sure you’ll love it 👍🏼 Your family have done well choosing a gift 😁
Nice comparison.... 👍 seems that the cup tray for espresso and cappuccino/lungo seems to be a lot wider on the pro. Like that more than the shallow one on the plus
Thanks. Yeah it's noticeably wider and we agree, makes it much easier to use 👍🏼
When I make instant coffee I have my Bosch kettle set at 70c I don’t have milk it’s a perfect temperature I don’t have asbestos lips and tongue
I bought the smallest nespresso machine after seeing on your channel. I find the dualit pods great the are 100% arabica coffee
I have a milk throffer jug thingy temted upgraded to steam wand machine
I do really like the steam wand but it is quite a big jump in price isn't it. Haven't tried those Dualit pods yet so will try and pick some up, thanks for the tip 👍
Thank you for your informative review! Do you have the option to make more than one customized drink on the pro, or can you only make one?
Hi 👋 Yes you can! You can add several customised drink recipes.
I was wondering which one do you think makes a better Latte Macchiato? The Creatista machines or the Barista Maker? Thanks and keep up with the great work, love your videos!
Hi. Couldn’t resist making them again just then actually and I’d say definitely the creatista as you can put as much milk as you like in the jug to fill your glass (with the barista it might overflow if you try to put more than the recommended in which makes a pretty small drink) you can control the froth level if you do want more or less froth but it’s good on the standard setting, and you also don’t need to buy a separate Nespresso machine to brew the coffee. If you want to see both being made you can check out our creatista plus unboxing and the barista vs aeroccino 3 vs aeroccino 4 videos we did as made them on those vids. Hope this helps and thanks, glad you like them 😁
Can’t wait for your review of Atelier. And to compare it with Barista, how both of them make an hot chocolate. ✌🏻and general compare with other machines as I I’d like to understand it’ll be a winner or not. Couse I’m itching to buy a coffee machine but really wait for your review of atelier 😅
Yeah I'll certainly be doing a few videos with the Atelier machine soon. It does look like an interesting machine doesn't it! Hope the mocha drinks are as good as the Barista!
Nice video as usual, however here’s a thought, does coffee from an Essenza mini taste any different than from one of these machines? Like to know what you think if possible.
You'd think the coffee would taste the same with them all being 19 bar pressure machines. Might do a little taste test later to find out though!
@@A2BProductions Have you made a taste test?
I haven't attempted that one yet I'm afraid. Will try and do it if I end up unboxing all my machines again and setting them up in future.
Can the pro makea regular cup of coffee? Or just special drinks?
Brilliant video 😌👍🏼 but for me has to be the pro 🤣 love it!!
Yeah we're with you on that, feel it's a better overall machine if you're willing to pay the money 👍🏼
Longer time to make 2 cappuccino in the US might be due to the lower voltage of their mains (110V opposed to 240V UK) which means the water takes longer to heat.
Cheers for that. Yeah I don’t think it pours the coffee and steams the milk simultaneously on the US model from what I’ve heard.
Buy yourself a jam sample jar (30g).
When you've completed your milk froth, place the jar under the milk froth wand, and let it purge. Before it completes, raise the wand, empty the jar and put it back, every time you interrupt the purge cycle it will continue to run when you put the jar underneath. Do that as many times as you need to to see that the water being purged runs clear (normally about three times). job done.👍😎
Hi first time commenting on one of your videos been following you for a few weeks. I have only ever drank Coffee drinks, can’t stand cold drinks or Tea. Since watching your videos we have purchased the Vertuo Plus my partners machine and a Lattissima Touch which I think is a lovely little starter machine for us milky coffee lovers. Within a week of this machine we have splurged an treated ourselves to the Nespresso Creastia Plus and we are in love lol.
My only wish is they now bring out a Creastia style machine that takes the Vertuo pods as I do feel the styling of these machine is lacking to say the least. Even better they bring out a machine that can take both style of pods in a Creastia style machine.
Thanks so much for commenting, always love hearing subscribers thoughts on the machines. Yeah the Vertuo machines do look a bit bulky and plasticky don’t they and would be great to have a Vertuo machine with a steam wand. Totally agree too that a machine which takes both types of pods would be the dream but I’d imagine it would be quite expensive to have pump pressure and centrifusion going on in one machine. Be interesting to see what Nespresso release next machine wise 😅 Glad you like your Creatista Plus 👍🏼
@@A2BProductions We are already wanting to upgrade to the Pro but are awaiting to see on the off chance if Nespresso bring out another machine.
Do they normally release a new machine each year or is it pretty random ?.
@@coffeepassionpotion5491 Same here, wondering if they'll bring out a new machine as I am contemplating the plus or pro at this point.
is there a difference in coffee temperature between the two (without milk)? thank you
Hello, my question is how much better is the milk/foam from the steam wand compared to the aeroccino 4?
That's a good question as I've never tried them side by side, especially using the Aeroccino4 latte setting. I really do think the steam wand froth is a lot nicer to drink but maybe a video comparing them would be a good idea. Just need to get hold of another Aero4 now as I gifted mine to a friend 😅
We have a Creatista plus at work, and when I make a cappuccino it asks mes to run the coffee, then the milk, then it asks me to run the coffee again so it uses the same pod twice. Is it faulty or is this normal? Does it do this if you have the coffee set above the dotted line?
If you had filled up the capsule containers and put them back in the machines you would have needed to take at least 3 capsules out of each for it to fit. Plus they make take perhaps even one less than that to ensure the capsule lever can be depressed. Anyway, great reviews and now have difficulty in deciding between the Creatista Pro and the Barista as my next purchase. Have been a Nespresso member since 23/12/98. One way of getting cheaper machines every year is to cancel your subscription after one year then sign up for another subscription. This is something I would never do but a Nespresso Boutique staff member suggested it!
Yeah good point, they don’t always fall like a Tetris game do they 😅 You had me intrigued so just checked and managed to get 14 in tho plus and 17 in the pro (just) but in reality with the way they fall and as you say the lever, it will be less. Cheers for bringing that up. Wow you are a long time member, are you at ambassador level then? Think the machine subscription is 24 months now so something to watch out for.
@@A2BProductions Yes Ambassador level and my contract is for 12 months.
Yeah just mentioning it for those reading the comments and looking at getting a subscription machine for the first time. The 25% off a new machine each year could also work well for Expert and Ambassador members, depending on what deals are available from other retailers at the time.
Hey! I had a question - if you wanted to do 2 shots on the creatista pro, would you have to do the second shot after the milk is done frothing? (I am in the US, so milk & coffee doesn’t happen simultaneously) so I was wondering how doing 2 shots would work. Really hope you reply if possible :) thanks in advance!
Yeah or you could also pour an espresso before so that the milk isn’t left sitting for too long after steaming, losing some of the froth.
Great video. Ordered a pro last night 👍 Made my mind up watching your review, so if it's no good I'm blaming you, and unsubscribing! 😂😂
Sleepless night for me tonight then 😅😅 Hope you like it 👍🏼
Does the sensor under the wand only detect that there is something there or does it also measure temperature? trying to understand how the machine knows the temperature of the milk. Should it matter whether I use the milk jug that came with the machine or if I use a mug? Thanks in advance!
As I understand it the sensor measures the temperature yes. Guess this means you could use a different metal jug but the one that comes with it is good. (Just saw the end of your comment, really not sure about using a mug 🤔)
Great reviews, thanks!! 👏 🙂 I have opted for a Creatista Pro. Do you know where I can get compatible tall and short view mugs from, pref matching the one that comes with it but whatever I can get at this point as it is a gift for Christmas! Also, I notice nespresso capsules can be different shapes with some more rounded. Do they all work or should I be ordering something specific to this machine? Many thanks for your help 🤞😊🎄
Hi 👋 I bought all my view glasses direct from Nespresso but think some Amazon sellers also sell them along with other brands. With the pods.. the big dome shaped pods are Vertuo capsules and won’t work in these machines, only OriginalLine pods will. We have a video on the channel explaining the difference. Hope this helps.
Hi there! Very nice video, 2 years ago. Are the Creatista's still going strong? And a second question: is there a difference in espresso quality (intensity, texture, temperature of the coffee without milk) between the Plus and the Pro? I have read a review which claims there is (the pro would be better...) Thanks!
Yes and yes! We have had the Pro for years now and use it every day (several times!) and still going strong. I do feel the Plus makes the hotter and possibly more full bodied espresso though, just a personal opinion. Can't comment on longevity of that machine though. Hope this helps.
Don’t forget the menu button , I love the pro clean with microfibre cloth
Yeah I have a few microfibres lying around so will use those in future, cheers 👍🏼
Annette Singleton there also some oil based sprays for stainless steel surfaces (not the cleaning ones... I mean the care-sprays. They make them a bit shiny and spots of fingerprints and sprinkles of steam and water are diasappearing
I want to buy it too, but I like my coffee very hot and it tastes like cream and I can't decide which one is more suitable, can you help me?
It’s the Pro every time for me. Those coffees look delicious, thanks very much and look forward to hearing from you soon. Which one will you keep😄
Cheers. Yeah we'll be keeping the pro! Touchscreen, more room on the machine and nice personalised options.
Bought the Atelier but didn’t like it at all. So complicated. After seeing your video/review on the Creatista Pro we changed to this one. It’s amazing and so easy. The coffee is perfect. Thank you so much. Had we not watched your videos, we wouldn’t have had a clue. 😊
Great to hear, thanks 🙂👍🏼
great reviews, my question is the milk quality on the Creatista pro when you make cappuccino (or flat white which I prefer) better than the Creatista plus? I had a Creatista plus and sold it in the past I was happy with.. thinking to get it again or going for the pro.. my main priority before choosing is the quality of milk between the two .. thanks in advance
Thanks for that. I personally found the milk quality to be better and more silky on the Creatista Plus. I kept the Pro as wanted the other features it offers but if it had been a choice on milk quality alone, I'd have kept the Plus.
@@A2BProductions I am glad you said that because I just repurchased the plus after I sold it a while ago.. thanks a lot your reviews are ace I am sure people love it
I may have to do the same as want to compare it to the Uno 😅 Knew I shouldn’t have sold my plus.
@@A2BProductions I had the uno too no comparison with the plus as I always play with the milk settings to get that little better .. nice one :)
How do you get the froth so lovely and creamy on the Plus. I just got the Pro two days ago and not impressed with the milk froth almost hot milk with bubbles on top
Hi 👋 I always did find the milk more silky on the Creatista Plus. Not sure if the steam wand is slightly thinner on it or something 🤔 I personally stuck with the Pro due to it's other features though.
Thanks for review.Can i use milk frother twice to heat milk better or can not because of temperature sensor?Because the temperature is very important for me.And second important thing is the quality of milk froth,are they same?
Hi there. I've never tried to heat it twice as have honestly never needed to, the milk gets so hot. (What you say about the temperature sensor is correct though, it will stop frothing once the desired temperature is reached) When I had both machines I felt the milk froth quality on the Creatista Plus was slightly better and subscribers have also mentioned the same in comments. A little bit more silky on the Plus but the Pro is a great machine too.
@@A2BProductions The machines have just arrived in Turkey and your comments are very important for me.I'll choose the plus one ı think.Thank you so much.
No worries, hope you like it 👍🏼
Hello again mate....my order failed from both illy for there ese espresso machine, and then same thing again from lavazza when i went to purchase there modo desea machine! Unbelievable, like neither of these italian companies seem to want to take my money 😃👊...
Now I have had my eye on the Nespresso Creatista Plus for a while now, and after watching your videos on both this and the pro version decided I want one.
But after reading numerous reviews, I have seen a recuring problem with the steam wand failing on these expenssive machines...
May I ask how long you have been using your ones for and if you have had the same problems, or any other probs occur? A longer term review I cannot find anywhere, all reviews are awesome online, but they are all out of the box reviews. I want to hear a longer term review.
Many thanks sir for your stirling work reviewing machines btw, and a very merry xmas to you and the family 😃👊👌
Sorry for the late reply on this mate 🤦♂️ I've had my Creatista Pro for around 18 months now and haven't had a problem with the steam wand. Come to think of it, though, I was sent a replacement machine during that time for a different reason, so hoping no problems come up with it. I'll take a look and work out when that was, as might be time to do a 1 year on video for the Creatista 👍
@@A2BProductions thank you sir...I went for the Miele fully automatic machine the silence model. I shall let you know how I get on with it when that Miele van arrives 😃👌
Hello, could you please tell me, which one is the newest model?
Hi, Creatista Pro 👍
Plus / pro which is exacly better??? I will buy
Solve your cappuccino problem by tapping and swirling the jug first. Then pour out of side of jug to get froth out. Also on froth setting 5 you can go under the minimum line, not too far just a little. I bought 8oz cups for this machine as that is perfect size - 6oz a little small.
Brilliant advice, I actually know what you mean now I've played around with them more 😃 Cheers bud 👍🏼
@@A2BProductions Do you think you could do a video of the cappuccino again following this advice so we can see the difference it makes?
Will see what I can do mate. Might do a video where I make all the drinks on both Creatistas, so will include it on that if I do 👍
What's the minimum amount of milk that you can put in the frother? I'm thinking about the case in which you may want to get just a cup of a coffee that doesn't require too much milk, like a macchiato.
Not sure on the absolute minimum. We did make a cappuccino recently where we used less than the minimum and worked fine, but you have me wondering how little you can use 🤔
@@A2BProductions That'd be a pretty interesting experiment to make!
Hi🙂, I appreciate your informative videos. can you fill a cup with hot water to make tea? I am hoping to get rid of my kettle and replace it with a creatista so as to avoid a cluttered worktop space.
Also can you use the steam wand without having to activate the coffee extractor first? as I like to drink heated milk with honey.
Hi there, the answer is yes to both but should probably give some extra info. The milk is not a problem at all, as both the Creatista Plus and Pro have a hot milk only setting. For making tea, the pro has a dedicated hot water button on the touch screen display but you can get hot water from the Creatista Plus too by just leaving the pod out (be sure to close the pod lever though). What I would say is the water won’t be anywhere near as hot as your kettle but - from when I’ve tested in the past - I actually found that the Creatista Plus is hotter than the Creatista Pro. The water from my kettle comes out at around 90 degrees centigrade vs about 70 on average from a Creatista. Pro a little less than 70, Plus can get a little hotter. Hope this helps a bit.
@@A2BProductions thank you 💚
Love the comparisons. I'm a Barista and was cringing at the milk being put under the wand and not being heated immediately. Cappuccino milk needs to be poured from the side of the jug not the spout. That way you get the foam/froth that defines a cappuccino against a latte. Its the only coffee to be poured this way. Think I'm going to go with the Plus as I'm the only big coffee drinker in the house
Thanks, glad you've enjoyed the videos. Yeah we've certainly learned a few tips and tricks since making the video, like your cappuccino tip 👍 Usually tap the jug, swirl it and pour out of the side these days. Hope you enjoy the plus! Feel that machine makes the silkier milk out of the two.
Any recommendations on where to buy the Pro in the US?
Hi there. We did a video recently about whether the Pro is worth the money and sure a couple of US subscribers mentioned Williams Sonoma (they had a 50% or 25% off deal on at the time) and think the Breville site sell it too. Hope this helps a bit.
Is the touch screen really a nice feature or does it get tiresome to scroll up and down? I like that my cheaper machine has buttons for each coffee type.
I still really enjoy using the touchscreen as it's pretty slick but it's definitely more of a luxury than an essential feature. Glad you're happy with your machine 👍
Which one to get --- easy, if you drink Long blacks then you need the Pro version as the PLus can not do it!
Hi there, yeah it's definitely easier with the Pro as there's no set button for it on the Creatista Plus. It can be done by just pouring the espresso and hot water separately (we have a video on the channel where we made one on the Creatista Pro and one on the Essenza Mini) but definitely nicer to have the preset coffee option on the Pro.
The double boiler makes no difference here in Canada or the USA so I’d probably get the plus model but when comparing the fidgety dial and little screen on the plus to that big beautiful touchscreen on the pro I guess I will have to spend an extra $500 CAD just for the screen. Bit of a shame that the plus doesn’t have the same screen as the pro
Yeah I know what you mean, I’m sure they could fit a touchscreen on the Creatista plus but then I guess it’s how much extra they’d charge for it. Hope you’re happy with whatever you decide to go for in the end 😊
I’ve had a few machines over the years from Nespresso. I got a Creatista Pro end December 2020 on their subscription plan which is extremely good value. Unfortunately the machine failed and stuck half way through descaling. It was 31 days old so it was replaced. We weren’t very happy with the actual machine though. Coffee’s were good but you had to continually take the milk steamer nozzle apart and go through the on screen cleaning process. You could do that then leave the machine, make coffee an hour later and you had to clean the nozzle again before making the coffee. This happened frequently. We have to descale I less than 15 days from new (water hardness set correctly) Nespresso told me to run it through descaling with just water as it shouldn’t be asking to do that so soon. At the end of its life (31 days!!) the steamer nozzle wouldn’t work properly. I thought I’d run it through the descale and that’s when it permanently stuck on descale! Nespresso collected it and sent out another brand new one. This one lasted a week!!! It asked me to clean the nozzle one evening after making a coffee. Clean complete , switched it off and went to bed. Wife hit up and tried to make a coffee. She had to clean the nozzle again! Then it half made a coffee and said clean the nozzle. Basically it wouldn’t move past the “clean nozzle” instructions and wouldn’t clean the nozzle either. I’ve cancelled my subscription now and am actually waiting for someone to contact me and collect the machine. Shame really but I couldn’t trust the machines anymore, I think I was lucky they went wrong whilst Nespresso were willing to replace them otherwise I would have been stuck with a faulty machine. Would be interested to know how long you’ve had your Creatista Pro and whether yours has been reliable or temperamental etc??
Hi there, we've had it since the unboxing we did in July (off the top of my head). Had no issues with descaling or the nozzle so sounds like you may have been quite unfortunate to have problems with 2 machines. We are actually on our second machine now though as we had an issue with the casing and tiny spots of rust beginning to show up. Nespresso took it away but due to the part being out of stock they sent a new one out and happy with it so far. If they do end up sending another one out then I hope you have a better experience.
Couple more questions . . . 1) Are you able to program drinks with multiple shots of espresso or will you have to run a separate "espresso" for that 2nd shot? 2) If you are just doing hot milk with no (or little) froth, can you go above the "max" line in the jug for more volume of milk? Thanks, in advance! Great channel! I've learned so much!
Thanks, glad the videos have helped! As far as I'm aware you can't program extra shots of espresso into a drink as it stops automatically each time to allow you to put a new pod in for the second shot. With the second question, I'll try it the next time I make a coffee and either come back to you here or include it in a video as planning a Cretaista Pro one soon 👍
@@A2BProductions guess what arrived at my front door today? thanks for your help!
Hope you like it Mark 👍 I got an easy 3 coffees out of the jug today on the latte setting today by the way - 180 ml cappuccino cups - and think I could have got more to be honest.
How the milk 🥛 it’s hot? I have Nespresso Delonghi Pro, but the milk it’s not hot than I expected so I’m planning to upgrade
Hi 👋 If it’s a lattissima machine you have then I personally have found the creatista to be much hotter with the steam wand and I like a hot milky coffee 😅 Hope this helps.
@@A2BProductions thank you so much 😊 I’m thinking getting one on my birthday 😘
is the black part of the creatista plus made of plastic?
Yeah it’s plastic.
This is going to be a very dumb question.. I just started looking into switching from a keurig to a Nespresso machine.. is this machine strictly for espresso/cappuccino or can I make regular coffee drinks too?
There are ways to make longer coffees with these machines and the Creatista Pro actually has a long black setting. If you search long black and Americano ☕️ on our channel page then we have videos showing how to make those. They don’t always taste as you would expect them to in a coffee shop though. The Nespresso Vertuo machines are more designed for bigger mug sized coffees but also have espresso capsules available. Hope this helps. 🙂
@@A2BProductions thank you so much for the explanation!
I think it’s best to buy it under a subscription - as the money you spend on the subscription (eg £55 or £70) you get to spend that amount on coffee - so basically the machine is free. I spend around £55/mth on coffee - but I’m going to get the pro at £70/mth. I’ll then still spend £55 a month on coffee and keep the remaining £15/mth in my account. After the 2year subscription I’ll have £360 in my acc - so will just start spending that. So I think if you can afford a £70 - it seems like the better value.
Great video btw! :)
Yeah if you don't mind committing for the 24 months then sounds like you have a great plan 👍 Hope you like the machine and thanks for doing the maths for us all!
Think I'm gonna get the pro at 70 a month its basically brilliant value because ultimately look at all the stuff you can get with the money £1680 over 2 years to get a high end machine for £1 and then stock up on glasses, coffees, equipment etc. Well worth the commitment when a £4 coffee a day in costa would set you back £120 a month without getting the machine. Oh and great video helped me make my decision I love a good touchscreen 👍
We were out and about the other week and visited a Starbucks drive through for the first time in years. Could believe the cost! Spent around £16 on 3 coffees and one hot chocolate. Made me really appreciate my machine and the travel mugs too as they really make a difference.
@@A2BProductions Totally! I’d have around 3 coffees a day when working from the office! What was I thinking?! And my wife was doing the same! It definitely pays for itself very quickly! So might as well get the best model as you’ll still be ahead! :)
The stainless steel one in the in the plus has more options hear in Australia. Also the new one has water function . It’s good for heating cups up .
Yeah I thought afterward I'd forgotten the heating of the cups, thanks for mentioning it. What extra settings did the plus have over there then?
A2B Productions I can’t remember, it cost more too. Mines in the cupboard now lol as I use the pro all the the me , I have 3 coffee machines I use them all , vertuo a barista one which is manual forth your own milk ect and of course the pro I’ve become professional almost lol
This sounds an awful lot like my kitchen 😂
A2B Productions I know it’s terrible 🤣😂
How hot is the drink when prepared using the hottest milk selection as I find my current nespresso machine doesn't make the hottest of drinks. Thanks
Think I took a temperature measurement on the video where we compared the Creatista Plus to the Gran Lattissima if I remember right - here's the link to that video - th-cam.com/video/7MkP7EdRhwQ/w-d-xo.html
It is really hot though, being honest I can barely hold the recipe glass when it's been on the hottest milk setting it's that hot. Hope this helps.
I am about to pull the trigger and purchase was about to buy the citiz £224 but now the creatista plus is on sale for £300 is it worth the extra?
Thanks for great vids.#coffeelovers
No worries mate, glad they helped. I love the citiz but for that price difference I'd personally go for the Creatista Plus with the steam wand 🙂👍 It's quick and easy to use and the milk texture is really nice. Heard some people have had issues with the steam wand but I didn't experience that and my Creatista Pro is still going strong all these years on.
@@A2BProductions really tempted but there seems to be a lot of mixed reviews on the creatista whether breaking down or not performing fully.
The citiz seems to have solid reviews and have just ordered one.
Your channel has been a great discovery , was wondering do you use syrups/sauces? if so could be a good idea for a future video(s).
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah of all the machines other than the Creatistas (if you want to risk it 😅) the Citiz would be the machine I’d buy. I gave my second one to a friend and it is still going strong for them years on. I have used syrups but definitely need to explore that more in a few videos and same for iced coffee ☕️🧊 Really glad you’re enjoying the videos and thanks for sharing your experience with us 😁
The brochure shows the plus at 12.2” ( 30.9 cm ) and the pro at 16.5” ( 41.8cm ) ....seems way off
Hi just a question regarding half price offer, if you have a subscription already and cancel it would i still be entitled to the offer? If so which one would you recommend because i would not pay the full price for the Pro if i couldn't get the the offer. Thank you
Hey mate. I just cancelled my subscription (it wasn't one where you are tied in because of a £1 machine) and then restarted it with the offer. It let me do it, hopefully they haven't changed anything.
A2B Productions thank you no it wasn’t just a normal subscription
Hi just thought that you would like to know I managed to get the Pro for half price and also got my 25% off with a new subscription.
That's fantastic, guessing you're an expert or ambassador member then? What a result 👍
A2B Productions I’m expert as long as I can keep it up!!
Wicked i won 1 of theses pros
Think that makes you the envy of many Nespresso lovers!
Why is the Creatista Plus 16 watts & the Pro only 15 watts if it’s a bigger machine?
I wish I knew the answer to that but sadly not. Hope someone else can chip in and help you out.
Too bad the North American version of Pro does not support dual boiler. I picked the plus instead.
Yeah that really is a shame, plus is still a great machine though.
That's dumb! I don't get it. :\
That seems ridiculous that you can’t make a single cap without pouring away the milk that hasn’t foamed? You left the foam in the jug!
Yeah a few people mentioned that as an issue, so we made a video recently where we tried using less milk than the minimum line to see how well it worked in case that helps.
with the money needed for that machines (whatever machine you buy from the cheapest to the more expensive models all they gone make the same coffe !!!! and the reason for that is the pods and how machine brew witch is the same to all machines !!!! ) you can buy a real good espreso machine and you gone drink a real espresso and not something like espresso (the coffe/drink you make with those machines it is call espresso blend and not espresso
we need arabic translation plzzzzz
Hi, just thought I'd let you know that I've edited the English subtitles, hope the TH-cam auto-translate feature will work for you now.
