Nespresso Creatista Plus Automatic Pod Coffee Machine with Milk Frother Wand for Espresso, Cappuccino and Flat White by Sage in Brushed Stainless Steel

Product Information

In the Nespresso Creatista Plus, you control the screen by a knob and a button. This screen is where you select your coffee levels, milk temperature, milk froth, and other coffee customizing features. The Creatista Pro model has a larger screen and uses a touchscreen LCD panel. It looks a lot brighter and clearer as well. You just simply swipe and select your favorite coffee in coffee-house style. The user-interface for the LCD screen of the Creatista Pro is much easier and simpler. You get a brushed stainless steel body on the Creatista Pro and a regular stainless steel finish on the plus model. You can choose between 11 temperature levels ranging from 133 to 169 degrees Fahrenheit, and there are eight texture levels. That’s a lot of control to give you just the steamed milk you prefer. It also gives you room to perfect your latte art. You can’t make a full swan, but you can make a leaf or heart with this wand. However, we think that the Creatista Plus justifies its more expensive price tag simply because you get extra functionality. These allow you to squeeze even more potential from the coffee maker. Aside from the performance, both machines are also nicely designed, with little touches that make all the difference, like the little pop-out shelf for small Espresso coffee cups. This comparison takes a look at what you can expect from the Creatista range so you can choose the best Nespresso machine for you. Key Similarities Milk Frother

The Creatista Plus comes with a 480 ml stainless steel jug, as well as a complimentary welcome set of 16 different Nespresso coffee capsules with varying flavor and aromatic profiles.

WINTER OFFERS

Overall, I liked the milk quality. I had to tap the milk jug on the counter to break up large bubbles, but I was left with a velvety smooth milk foam. You can run the milk frothing after the machine is done brewing the espresso, so it takes about two minutes to have a milk-based drink.

The Uno offers a 1.5 litre water tank, the same as the Nespresso Creatista Plus. This is still a generous size that can make a few coffees before needing a refill. Diving into a bit more detail, on the left side of the machine is the coffee dispenser. Beneath it, there is a pop-out drip tray for smaller drinks such as ristrettos, espressos, and lungos. This is to minimize the vertical distance coffee must travel between the dispenser and your cup. It is a thoughtful addition since this will help keep your coffee hot. The Creatista Pro has a digital touchscreen that offers slightly more choice with ristretto, espresso, lungo, americano, cappuccino, cafe latte, latte macchiato and flat white pre-sets. It also has a hot water outlet and lets you adjust the settings of the coffee volume, milk temperature and milk texture to suit your preferences. The Nespresso Creatista range is ideal for anyone who wants to make high-quality capsule coffee with cafe-quality microfoam milk. There are 3 models in the Creatista range (all by Breville), with each offering different features to suit a range of coffee lovers.

Release Your Inner Creativity

The coffee dispenser is on the left side of the espresso machine. There’s a pop-out tray for smaller drinks (espresso, ristretto, and lungo) beneath it. I loved that this design minimizes the distance the coffee travels between the dispenser and the cup, which keeps the coffee hotter and prevents splashes.

At this price point, you might expect some form of automation when loading a Nespresso capsule but in fact it’s just a flip-up lever like that fitted to pretty much every other Nespresso machine on the market. To use, simply drop in a capsule, pull down the lever and it’s ready to go. When you lift the lever, the used pod is ejected into the admittedly smallish catchment drawer below. A large removable two-litre water tank sits at the rear. The Pro offers the same milk temperature and froth settings but also lets you choose between 7 coffee volume settings and 7 hot water volumes too. Construction Materials However, buying re-usable also decreases your environmental impact and can decrease the overall cost of your coffee consumption - coffee capsules can be expensive in the long run. The milk configuration is also impressive — the temperature ranges from 133 to 169 degrees, and the milk froth from 0.08 to 1.2 in. The customization options are on par with other high-end automatic espresso machines and make it easy to make the drink according to your preferences. The milk frothing feature does have a bit of a learning curve, so you will probably have to fiddle around with the settings a few times before you get it where you want it to be.Those who love coffee will find that the Nespresso Creatista can create authentic and top-quality latte art coffees in the comfort of your home. Nespresso offers you the convenience of creating great tasting coffee in your home. The Creatista looks very good on any kitchen countertop and makes an excellent addition to your appliances.
