Nespresso Lattissima Coffee Maker Review

The Lattissima is the next step in Nespresso's one-touch brewing. It can make espressos and lungo coffee in a minute or less and can be used with the wide range of capsules.

The machine can be programmed to produce the exact size of drink you desire. This is a fantastic feature for busy families.

Easy to use

The basic black Nespresso machine is simple to operate and maintain. It is minimalist in its straightforward design and just one button on the top that controls powering, rinsing brewing and more. Open the lid, insert a capsule in and Nespresso coffee Maker click to start the brewing. It heats quickly and offers many drink options such as double-shot espresso, a 5-, 8 or 18-ounce cup of coffee. It even comes with a steaming wand, perfect for adding a cafe-style milk texture to your drinks. We love the small design and easy-to-use interface, however, we noticed that the machine wasn't the same quality of espresso or coffee as some of the more expensive models. It's also not as easy to recycle capsules like other machines we tested. This is why nespresso krups machine coffee maker (a cool way to improve) isn't the best choice for our side-byside test.

Quick to make a cup of tea

The Nespresso machine can brew an espresso cup in 15 minutes. The hot water from a reservoir is pumped through a pump that pierces the small holes that are on the top of the pod. The water is then mixed with the ground coffee and drips into the cup. We tested the machine with Jones Brothers and Bestpresso capsules, and it produced an intense and delicious espresso with a slight nutty taste. We tried whole, almond and 2% milks, and all performed well.

Easy to clean

Cleaning of a Nespresso machine is important both inside and out. This ensures that it's operating properly and ensures it's safe to use. This can also enhance the taste of your coffee. There are a variety of cleaning products to clean your Nespresso, including vinegar. It is best to make use of a descaling agent instead of vinegar, since it could damage your machine.

To clean your Nespresso, begin by removing all the pods and cleaning the drip tray and capsule container. Fill the sink with warm water, and add a few drops of dish soap. Let the drip tray and capsule container soak in the soapy water for a few minutes to loosen gunk and stains. Rinse the drip tray and capsule container using hot water. Then, use a nonabrasive cloth or sponge to scrub off any stains or residues. After scrubbing, wash the drip tray and capsule container again and let them dry completely before returning them to the machine.

After your machine has been cleaned, it is time to descale. You can follow the directions in your user manual to follow a specific procedure. Otherwise, you can create an DIY descaling solution using citric acid or white vinegar. However, if you're using vinegar, be sure to use white vinegar, not balsamic or apple vinegar, because they're too abrasive for this purpose.
