Fabulous design and easy to use and clean. It makes perfect flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes. One of the best features is that you can set the milk temperature and level of froth. Although the Latissima Touch that I had previously was great this machine is so much better. Purchased on a prime discount day and well worth the money.
I have bought many coffee machines in the past. Most sent back & broke within a couple of months. This machine is without doubt the best I have had. It makes all the coffees with the milk wand all temperature controlled which you can set manually. The pods are cheap & it self cleans after each coffee. There are just 2 negatives. 1 the ideal temperature set isn’t hot enough so needs setting higher which does save so not a problem really & 2 no basic Americano but again for me not a problem as I always use the milk steam wand for latte, Cappuccino flat white etc. so a must buy imo
I love this coffee machine. I have had a few nespresso coffee machine and this one is the best I have ever had.
Easy to use and coffee is super creamy with non original capsules too.
The shiny part is a bit annoying because it shows every mark but it looks beautiful and classy when clean.
Great purchase. 5 stars
This little machine does it all makes coffee froths milk etc. you can make any coffee you would buy in the cafe. The advantage of a nespresso is you can use any coffee pods so don’t have to stick to originals. Aldi coffee pods taste great and they are very cheap. Would definitely recommend.
Upgraded to this machine from a 8 year old Latissima+ (which was still going strong) and haven’t looked back since!
Nespresso is amazing quality coffee and a great selection.
Various volume / heat & froth settings on this machine help you to tailor cups that are just right for you.
Milk jug and spout – super easy to use/clean (Normally a faff with the old machine.) And the temperature sensor makes it all super easy! You can even warm milk on it own (without heating coffee) – great for a hot chocolate.
Was apprehensive about the chrome/stainless steel for fingers prints etc, but my other kitchen appliance match so wouldn’t deviate. Non the less, wipes down easily and the drip tray is simple to remove and clean.
Water tank easy to remove and refill – much larger than previous and a handy carry loop supports the process.
The LCD screen is clear and a great feature. The only (very small) issue I have is the control dial. It’s short, thin and “slippy” and does require some force to move. Looks great – but in reality some grip for traction would be nice. But don’t let that put you off.
Overall – LOVE this machine. Amazing quality / look and performance from Sage coupled with great quality coffee as always from Nespresso
Love love love this!
The frother works fantastically and has altered my coffee tastes as I love a black coffee, but enjoyed the flat white so much it’s now my preferred option.
I have yet to clean/descale yet but my husband and I are using bottled water to help preserve the pipes a little more (London has very hard water).
We are so impressed with the machine and opted for pods over the bean due to friends reciting how much they have to clean the bean version.
Great investment as we now come home for coffee instead of constantly going out for i
Excellent quality, makes fantastic coffee and different types with easy control settings
Best Nespresso coffee pod machine I have purchased
You can even change temperature settings along with froth and cup size settings
Best money I have spent in a while
Worth paying extra
We already have a Tassimo but wanted to make better espressos. After reading reviews, we settled on this range. The model was on offer, so managed to get a better product than first planned. It was very important that pods could be easily recycled, and the price of pods aren’t too bad. The milk frother is really good and presets according to the pod.
Good machine. It is tricky to review as my experience is on this one only an old Krups or a similarly old tassimo.
I don’t have the knowledge of other similar nespresso classic pod machines to be able to say this is way better or worse.
However it has a vast range of options and coffee types , the settings are configurable in terms of quantity and heat, which is a really nice feature.
It is very easy to use , very easy to keep clean and the water doesn’t have to be filled every coffee.
I chose this as it was a good price (Black Friday) and meant I had a choice over the coffee; I was looking at bean to cup machines but I felt they didn’t offer the flexibility in terms of choice. Bean to cup you would have a hopper full of beans which you would need to empty if you fancied a Columbian roast for your first coffee and then a different bean for later.
I know this means it’s not as cost effective but that flexibility is what I wanted.
Too early to tell if the unit is reliable but there are not many moving parts and it does tell you when it needs a descale.
We like coffee but cannot be bothered doing the bartisa bit. This was the perfect solution. It’s very easy to use. No faffing, pop the capsule in, choose how you want it, press start and the magic happens. You have to press start for the milk and the sound always makes me smile. A very happy customer.
We’re still trying different capsules sine you can get them most place. Starbucks is my favourite so far.
Seems to work well and delivers coffee as good as you are going to get from a capsule. I previously used a Citiz and this is much better – it’s quicker and having the milk heated through a steam wand is more effective than the Citiz separate frother. Not sure that the taste is much different. It seems to cope with different brands of capsule which the other one didn’t, so you aren’t stuck with buying expensive Nespresso capsules. Cleaning the steam wand is a bit of a pain but otherwise it’s easy to live with. Don’t understand why its so expensive though.
This is an amazing coffee maker. I have stopped buying coffees from outside since buying. However, this is my second coffee maker of the same type. The previous one packed up in 2 years. I am hopeful that was down to my lack of care and this doesn’t break down so soon. My bean to cup lasted 5 years so would expect a decent life span at this price point.
So worth the money. Very easy to use and makes a ranges of fantastic coffees.
I have loved this machine. It’s a defo upgrade from our lattissma touch we’ve had for a few years. It’s so great to be able to choose the heat of the coffee.
On the odd occasion the coffee has failed to be consistent, but overall I’ve been pleased and even improved my coffee art.
I read a few reviews about the milk frother playing up. So far we have only had one maintenance alert flash up to clean the end and I tend to clean the end regularly anyway. It’s not a massive hardship. I’m so glad I took the plunge to purchase.
This is a very simple but quite reliable machine. You can control the thickness of the milk foam and temperature. Also the volume of the shot you make each time can be adjusted. Capsules are everywhere available to put in your grocery basket. So far I have tried Nespresso originals, Starbucks and Costa’s and all are greatly done in this machine. You can actually make greater coffee than some you buy from popular cafes outside. Very happy with this machine.
This the third design of Nespresso machine having given up grinding my own beans when I spent more time cleaning the machines than drinking the coffee. This is by far the best and least effort. Steam wand self purges and just needs a wipe with different temp settings and even alternates with coffee stream for flat whites. Would totally recommend. Don’t waste money on whisk frothers or complicated milk feeds that need to go in the dishwasher. Bit pricier but worth it.
Best Nespresso machine ever purchased. Well worth the money. Makes great coffee and the Lattes and Flat Whites are as good as in any coffee shop.
Excellent machine that is easy to use. I’m not a coffee connoisseur but it makes a great cup of coffee, just as good as shop brought beverages. Not cheap but good value.
I’ve been using this coffeemaker for over a year, having had a variety of Nespresso machines over the years, most recently an Expert. This one tops the lot. It is robust and well-constructed (the Expert felt cheap by comparison) and simple to use (the Expert was complicated and prone to problems). It has a full range of programmes and produces good quality coffee. Above all, it is Fast! The warm up time is just 3 secs – less than a third of any machine I’ve had before. We live in a very hard water area, and I like the automatic reminders to descale (every few months) and the fact that the instructions to do so come up on the screen, rather than having to dig out the instruction book.
Overall, a well thought out and well made machine that is head and shoulders above the rest.
Amazing coffee, I don’t need to say anymore than that! Happy customer!
Have used several Nespresso machines over the years and after much consideration switched back to Nespresso after my bean to cup machine gave out. This machine makes great milk drinks with an excellent steam wand that really does do a good job of making a nice textured foam. The coffee is good, nice body and texture on the Lungo and Expresso settings, but needed to put the temperature up to max as otherwise a bit cool for my taste. Warmup time is just a few seconds as advertised, really quick. The downsides are fairly minor, the first is the drip tray is TINY. So given the machine rinses it’s steam wand each time you use it, you end up emptying the tray a few times a day if you make lots of milky drinks. The second downside is if you dispense a little hot water to top off your long black, the temperature is really low, seems the machine can’t heat just water fast enough. I don’t really drink those, so not a problem for me, but if you want something that can dispense instant hot water, look elsewhere.
I don’t know how to live without it and I’m not even a big coffee drinker! Worth every penny.
Produces excellent coffee and has controls to customise temperature and size of all types of coffee drinks, very impressed!
Great buy
Works exactly as described, super easy to use and delivers great quality of coffee/milk every time!
Very easy to clean
Can adjust all the settings including volume for all types of coffees
Great milk frother adjustable for temperature and froth levels
No waiting for great coffees
Extremely happy . Does what it says, makes a good cup of your choice coffee . Also giving the option of different choices, you can also choose your own personal bespoke settings for your choice coffee. Very pleased.
It is expensive but you do get what you pay for, cleaning does take a bit but it tells you how to do it on the screen, the actual making of coffee is top notch and you do save money rather than buying a costa/Starbucks all the time
Great machine, superb design, makes fantastic barista quality coffee, very pleased with the purchase. Would thoroughly recommend.
A great machine, easy to use (once you’ve read the manual, not usually my strong point) and makes great coffee.
Really pleased with this coffee machine. It tastes just like coffee from coffee shops.
Easy to use & clean. Would definitely recommend.
Makes excellent coffee and the milk wand makes the coffee as near to a real barista taste as your gonna get. Excellent product, better than my old de longhi bean to cup machine.
My best lockdown buy. Was missing coffee shop coffee and i can get a pretty good version at home now with this machine. Looks nice too.
We bought this during lockdown as we were missing having a nice coffee when we were out. It makes a lovely flat white, brilliant frothy milk for hot chocolate and the usual array of coffees from espresso to latte. We use it every day. I’ve descaled it once in seven months. It takes a little bit of experimenting to find the perfect froth and the choice of coffee to go with it. But it’s worth it. Once you get it right I think it’s on a par with all but the best barista prepared coffee. There are lots of pods to choose from the shops and from Nespresso. All in all, it’s been great. I would definitely buy another one.
Bought this machine to replace another Nespresso machine that we have been using for about 6 years. Appears to be very well made and makes excellent coffee. It is important to really clean the steam wand after each use.
Waited a few weeks before doing this review, wanted to try EVERY type of coffee and setting. Summary, it’s a brilliant machine. The fact you can select, and set, your settings for coffee volume, milk temperature (v hot is indeed very hot) and amount milk of milk froth is excellent. Been a big fan of Nespresso for years but this machine take its to the next level… my favourite feature…. when the milk is heating up and frothing … it sounds like you’re in a an expensive coffee shop, but you’re in your kitchen drinking superb coffee
for a fraction of the price !
Worth every penny.
We love it … Our kitchen never smelled so good – proper coffee every morning – Why Not We Deserve It ( and as for the hot chocolate ) yum
Product is amazing! It’s like having coffee shop coffee at home. After a few weeks of not going to coffee shops you make your money back. Highly recommend!
Had this since xmas; makes excellent coffee using nespresso or compatible pods. Also use it for heating milk for hot chocolate. Menu is simple to use. We like coffee to be a little hotter than the default temperature but it was easy to change & it keeps the setting.
Love this coffee machine, although expensive definitely worth the money as we use it daily, especially now popping out for a coffee is not an option. Steam spout gets clogged quite often but easy to clean.
Very good coffee machine, easy to clean but could do with milk warmer but not a problem as just warm it twice.
I have tried lots of different coffee capsules , the Starbucks Espresso Roast is best. The machine looks great & the coffee very tasty
I bought this for a 70 year old who loves Latte’s, its quick and easy to use with 1 button operation, it makes great coffee and Latte’s, it is very easy to clean and to top up with wate
My previous Nespresso machine a De’Longhi Lattissima Pro which I bought just over two years ago, although almost as expensive as this machine was awful, the milk was almost cold and there was no temperature control so I rarely used the machine. This machine has a temperature control for the milk so the coffee is always as hot as I want it. I am sure this machine will serve me for many years to come! Well made too very sturdy.
This coffee machine has lots of options for coffee pods, it makes a variety of coffee style drinks and is really easy to use and clean. Absolutely a great purchase for anyone who likes coffee.
IF you are looking for a machine that gives you almost coffee shop quality coffee then this machine is for you. I have been using this machine everyday for over a year and have not experienced any problems. I have only needed to descale the machine 4 times but I do ensure that I always fill the machine with filtered water. I always buy my capsules from the Nespresso online shop. The capsules are around 35 – 45p each which compared to tassimo capsules are a steal, considering the quality you are getting. Another bonus with using Nespresso capsules is that they are recyclable which is important to me. If you are looking for a decent coffee machine then look no further.
Brought this for my partner for Christmas and he loves his new machine, he found the instructions easy to follow, he has tried several flavour pods and has enjoyed them all, no gunk left in bottom of cup so mixed up well when done
I’d been researching what pod machine to buy for months. I knew I wanted one with an integrated milk frother as well as something that looked great in my kitchen.
I’ve now been using the Creatista Plus for around 3 months and I can tell you it produces coffee shop level coffee every time – the built in settings do everything you need to get the milk frothed for the perfect latte or cappuccino (and you can even tweak the presets if you want frothier or hotter milk). I just have to figure out how to do the fancy latte art now.
The price may seem high in comparison to others, but the stainless steel and build quality just shout ‘luxury’ to me. I just wish I’d bought it sooner!
What a great coffee maker. Incredibly easy to use and makes a very good range of coffees. The milk frothing element is brilliant with 11 different temperatures for the milk. Takes cups from espresso size to mugs and latte glasses. Pop the pod in, put your drinking cup in place, put the milk in the steel jug in place on the plate and press start – all done. Wipe clean the frothing nozzle as soon as it’s self cleaned itself, easy cleaning of spill tray. A great product. I was impressed when I saw it at a friend’s home so it was a no brainer when I looked for one.
There was one of these in a cottage we rented over the summer and we were really taken with it. When the same model came as part of a Prime Day offer we couldn’t resist. Wondered if the investment would be worth it. It was, you will never go back to instant again. Its just the best coffee, so easy to use. Nespresso will recycle aluminium pods too so guilt free. For a treat we have discovered that you can forth Baileys as 50% of the milk, yum.
I am super impressed with this coffee machine i held off a few months before making a review so I could used it and see how well it worked since purchasing it I have descaled it once after 4 months and it works fabulous after it just amazing definitely worth the money the taste os incredible
Excellent upgrade to my old Nespresso machine. This machine has so many more options and looks very stylish in the kitchen.
I like milk with my coffee so milk frothing option is fantastic, coffee tastes great. Only dislike is that my coffee intake has gone up
This was our first coffee machine and we cannot be anymore happy and satisfied with this machine. We have used variety of pods right from premium Nespresso to Starbucks to supermarket brands. Milk frothing function is great too and makes Cafe quality lattes. We just love this machine!
We’ve had several Nespresso machines over the years, but this pod coffee maker is the best yet. Expensive, yes. Pods pricey, yes. But it’s well made, works perfectly, looks superb in the kitchen and makes bloody good coffee and frothed milk. What’s not to like? Well, price actually – but your worth it!
a little bit more than i wanted to pay but i am so glad i did a fantastic easy to use machine highly reccomended
Purchased this when it was on offer and I am very happy with it. It is a good machine with a variety of coffee options. I’m not sure I’d want to pay full price for it though
I have been debating on buying this machine or something similar for a while. Ive had a Nespresso machine for about 10 years but have been looking at ground coffee machines vs the larger Nespresso pod machines for a while. Having brought this, i am really glad i went with it. The coffee options are well expanded from the standard short and long of my old machine and the milk frothing is pretty good for what the machine is. The options to run longer or shorter coffee shots / to go back and add a double shot and to heat the milk at different temperatures is great. big water supply tank so i am not filling up too regularly.
I would say it will take some practice to get the perfect coffee and milk designs but overall I think the machine is brilliant.
Cleaning seems ok so far and the milk purge function seems to do exactly what it needs to. I did buy the machine on offer and wonder if it is a slightly too higher price point vs the market but knowing what i do now i would have paid more for the same machine.
its a great middle ground between POD and ground coffee machines – and probably less mess and phaff than a ground machine. Definitely recommend the product and Nespresso.
Does two things very well. 3 second start up time for the silver model. Microfrothing of milk to enjoy high quality flat white coffee at home. If you have the money go for this unit. Recommended
Love it love it love it! It’s not quite as good as the Pro version but it does everything it says it does.
Stylish with a very contemporary look but also makes great luxurious styles of coffee. A real bonus is the milk steamer/frother which really compliments the coffees you make and wows your friends. I’ve waited years to buy a coffee machine but why? when I’ve missed so much by not having the Sage machine.
This is our 3rd Nespresso machine in 15 years. Our first was great – the replacement for it we bought last year was a huge disappointment (well known brand) and so on Prime Day we too the decision to spend a little more and risk this Sage machine. What a revelation. It is way better than the 100 or so more than the previous machine that it cost – the look and feel of the machine is quality – the controls are easy to use on both standard and customised settings and most importantly – you can get great quality milk from the steamer. It’s not quite barista standard, but for a home machine at this price it’s a blooming close try. Loving it.
I wanted a Nespresso machine over the Dolce Gusto as our son had a Lattissima One which was so good. This was a good price and great reviews so decided to get something similar. Easy to setup. Instructions are simple and the results are simply amazing. What a great decision it was to not only buy Nespesso coffee but to get this machine also…Never looking back, yours the amateur and extremely happy barista !
What I love in this particular coffee machine is that you can personalise my very own coffee which I can find 7 selections choices and a brilliant and professional steam want that offers many milk temperatures. Foam wise is great and you can choose between 8 texture levels.
The machine comes with an intuitive digital display where we can find multiple coffee recipes. My favourite is cappuccino.
The steam wand has an assisted cleaning system what makes our life much easier.
Definitely a low maintenance machine with a beautiful design.
I’ve had this in my wish list for a long while now, but could never justify spending that sort of money on a nespresso machine. Now that i’m working from home I saw this getting regular use, so I snapped one up in the Prime Day sale.
Love it! Now I can have all the flat whites and lattes that I want. So fast to start up, very intuitive to use, highly customisable, and makes some delicious coffee drinks. It also looks great on my kitchen counter – bit of a fingerprint magnet though!
Absolutely fantastic! So glad I upgraded our Citiz and Milk to this machine. Very easy to set up and makes loads of great coffees. Great value for money on sale.
Love my new Nespresso machine. I had one of the cheaper ones with a seperate milk frother but after seeing the great discount for this on prime day I decided to treat myself and I’m glad I did. There’s just no comparison with being able to make coffee with the wand steamer rather than the aerocino jug.
I’ve been making mocha’s all week and they are just as nice as my favorite coffee shop.
The design is sleek and looks great in the kitchen.
Really happy with my purchase
I work as a service engineer on professional coffee machines. For a long time have been searching for a way of enjoying the quality of coffee on the high street in my home. have previously tried domestic espresso machines but struggled to get decent quality without constantly adjusting the coffee grind and dose. I had considered a home bean to cup machine but was not convinced I could get the required level of control within my budget. I have therefore settled on this Nespresso machine I have to say, I couldn’t be happier.
Firstly I would say, don’t be put off the cost of the Nespresso pods. Unlike some other pod systems, Nespresso compatible pods are widely available from many suppliers, including well known brands such as Starbucks and Costa as well as some budget supermarkets. There is no need to pay Nespresso prices for pods unless you want to. It is easy to find a compatible coffee pod to fit you budget
Moving on to the machine itself. It is very stylish and appears well made. It is also very compact so ideal if space is short in your kitchen. Making a professional looking coffee couldn’t be simpler, just select your desired drink then follow the on screen instructions. The default settings will work fine. some reviewers have found the milk not quite hot enough. If you would like the milk a little hotter, or perhaps slightly more or less foam then it is a simple adjustment which is then saved for all subsequent drinks. Once you have tweaked the settings to suit your particular taste you can forget about them and just enjoy you coffee
As someone who deals with coffee machines in my job I would say the quality of the drinks is very good. Espresso shots are very smooth with a good crema. Milk foam is smooth with plenty of volume. It also very quick. From turning on cold you can have a professional looking and tasting coffee pouring within about 3 seconds
Maintenance is also very simple. The steam wand auto purges after every use but it is also suggested that you periodically carry out a cleaning sequence. This gives you a sequence of on screen instructions to remove and clean the steam nozzle using the included tool. However once you know the sequence you can clean the nozzle as needed without actually running the onscreen instructions. One thing to be aware of is that if the machine detects that the nozzle is even partially blocked it will abort the drink preparation. You can avoid this by cleaning and/or purging the wand after period of non use.
To summarise, i would say that this a very stylish machine cable of producing professional looking coffee simply and quickly. Even if your barista quills are non-existent you will be impressed with the results I now just need to practice my latte a
The best home coffee machine I’ve owned… and I’ve had a few! So many variations for your coffee… even down to the temp of the milk. Makes superb latte & cappuccino…. and loads of nespresso pods available… I use the Starbucks ones. Really good.
Expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Looks great, although takes up more space than alternatives, it’s still quite small.
Brews great coffee, and the steam arm is the great bonus.
Plenty of options to customise your brew.
If you like a hot coffee you need to heat the milk for each cup individually.
I’ve had this machine for about 6 months now. It’s fantastic. I won’t repeat what other people have said except to emphasise how classy it looks. Nowadays most decent coffee machines make good coffee so your choice will come down to other factors — such as the looks. Nothing in this price range comes close to how beautiful this machine looks. And it cleans up great. Recommended without reservation.
A quality piece of kit. Well worth the extra in my opinion. Big water tank and used capsule compartment, easy to follow display instructions and all the work taken out of frothing the milk as it does it all for you
This machine so far is well worth the investment. It looks really smart – arrived with no scratches or marks, and is very easy to clean. Only had it for a week but so far absolutely loving it and drinking more coffee than we probably should! My favourite thing is the automatic milk heating and frothing – there are several levels of froth available and it really does a brilliant job. No need to do anything except put milk in the jug and put it under the wand. It is easily wiped clean with a damp cloth and self cleans. I was hesitant about spending so much money on a coffee machine but could not be happier. Did lots of research and the best thing about this machine is the coffee/milk choice available and the small number of items to remove and clean. I hope this machine doesn’t break down because we can no longer start the day with it.
