Well worth the money
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.
Brilliant coffee machine
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
Love love love
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
Coffee making machine.
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.
Excellent machine
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
Quality machine, easy to use.
We had this machine on our wish list for a while but waited until it was down to 280 in the Black Friday sale. We have had the machine for 3 months and thinks it’s brilliant. It’s really easy to use and clean and gives prompts when it needs a descale (only one prompt so far). It makes lovely coffee, our favourite is the Nespresso Starbucks’s range so far). It looks lovely in the kitchen and doesn’t take unnecessary room.
The only con I can think of is the material used for the coffee tray and pod holder isn’t as good quality as the rest of the machine. The machine is stainless steel but the parts mentioned above seem more flimsy and scratch easier, it is probably because these parts detach from the machine so they can be washed. It doesn’t affect anything other than slight aesthetics, but that’s me being picky.
Would 100% recommend and I would buy another of it broke (a good few years down the line hopefully!)
Honestly, it’s a fabulous machine
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 coffee machine
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
Rated “Best Christmas Present EVER!” by my husband
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 consistent coffee
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.
I LOVE i
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.
Good Machine
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.
Awesome coffees
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.
Fantastic machine!
So worth the money. Very easy to use and makes a ranges of fantastic coffees.
So far so good
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.
Gorgeous
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.
Best I have had
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.
Makes a great cup of coffee
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.
Superb machine!
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.
Best Nespresso Machine - by far!
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!
Amazing coffee, I don’t need to say anymore than that! Happy customer!
Best Nespresso Machine So Fa
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.

Incredible machine
I don’t know how to live without it and I’m not even a big coffee drinker! Worth every penny.
Excellent Stylish machine
Produces excellent coffee and has controls to customise temperature and size of all types of coffee drinks, very impressed!
Does everything you need a coffee machine to do at a very high standard.
Great buy
Love this coffee machine!
Works exactly as described, super easy to use and delivers great quality of coffee/milk every time!
Great Coffee machine for Nespresso compatible capsules
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
Best purchase
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.
Worth it really
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
Makes fantastic coffee
Great machine, superb design, makes fantastic barista quality coffee, very pleased with the purchase. Would thoroughly recommend.
Elegant Cool Machine
A great machine, easy to use (once you’ve read the manual, not usually my strong point) and makes great coffee.
As good as going to a coffee shop.
Really pleased with this coffee machine. It tastes just like coffee from coffee shops.
Easy to use & clean. Would definitely recommend.
Brilliant milk wand
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.
Good 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.
In the absence of a really good coffee shop this is perfec
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.
Excellent Nespresso machine
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.
Costa Coffee now open in my kitche
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.
Throw out the jar of insta
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
Great machine!
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!
Good all in one pod coffee machine
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.
Great Coffee Machine
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
Very good coffee machine, easy to clean but could do with milk warmer but not a problem as just warm it twice.
Well worth the money
I have tried lots of different coffee capsules , the Starbucks Espresso Roast is best. The machine looks great & the coffee very tasty
simple to use with 1 button operatio
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
All I ever wanted in a coffee machine.
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.
Just the coffee machine we wanted
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.
For coffee lovers
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.
Coffee machine
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
Brilliant machine, worth the price
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!
The best coffee making machine using pods on the marke
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.
Best investment eve
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.
Highly recommended amazing machine
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
Great machine and coffee is best i have tasted.
I was initially sceptical about pod machines but i liked the look of this one with it having the milk steamer spout and also being polished stainless steel it looks great. Some machines with seperate stand alone milk frothers had reviews which indicated milk wasn’t hot enough but you can have this as hot as you like. This is more like the traditional style coffee machines with the milk steamer spout which is why i took a chance and opted for this machine. I decided on nespresso as they have such a wide range of coffee’s and also ‘compatible’ pods fit this machine. This machine also has a bigger water container than many other machines. I always use skimmed milk but this machine makes it so creamy. The taste of the coffee combined with how creamy the steamer heats and froths the milk makes it one of the best i have tasted. Its really easy to wipe clean too. I bought the stand with the drawers seperately on Amazon and it sits great on there. I know its a pricey machine but after only having it for a couple of weeks, i wouldnt swap it for any of the others. As a side note it also makes the kitchen smell great.
Excellent upgrade to existing Nespresso machine
Excellent upgrade to my old Nespresso machine. This machine has so many more options and looks very stylish in the kitchen.
Brilliant coffee machine
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
Great coffee machine with amazing milk frothing function!
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!
Expensive but worth i
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!
fantastic
a little bit more than i wanted to pay but i am so glad i did a fantastic easy to use machine highly reccomended
Its a brilliant upgrade from the coffee only machines
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.
Great machine
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
Fantastic
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
What’s not to like?
Love it love it love it! It’s not quite as good as the Pro version but it does everything it says it does.
Sage contemporary and stylish machine.
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.
A massive step up from previous Nespresso machines
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.
Oh my, what a machine!
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 !
Brilliant coffee!
We had a citiz and milk nespresso machine for about 10 years and have been happy with it, but over last few months, started leaking. Looking at issues over the Internet, decided it was likely to be a common fault with an o-ring and that it would be a mare to replace. So bit the bullet and started researching a new one.
This machine did everything the old one did and more, the added bonus, you could change the heat levels on the milk. Ok it didn’t do cold milk, but hey we probably only did this half a dozen times with the old machine. The beauty of this machine is you can make the milk hotter than suggested, which in total makes your coffee hotter, which for me (who drinks a hot cup of tea rather swiftly whilst still boiling), it’s fantastic news. No more warm coffee!
This machine is easy to clean and use and best of all, looks stylish.
It’s at a price that we wouldn’t have ideally spent on a coffee machine but actually we’re really happy with it!
My advice, if you like the features and can’t quite decide because it’s expensive, then just buy it, you won’t be disappointed 🙂
Brilliant and professional coffee machine
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.
Fabulous Uni
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!
Delighted with my upgrade
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
Great machine
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.
I did wonder if this machine would be worth the hefty price, I was already familiar with Nespresso having had their lower end coffee machine for years, but with my new found love of Flat Whites that I struggled to recreate at home I looked to upgrade to the Creatista plus machine. So glad I made the purchase the Creatista Plus makes great coffee with the ease of a touch button, and is up and ready in a staggering 3 seconds. Love the 1.5 litre capacity so when you have friends over you can make multiple coffees with ease, which taste as good as a coffee shop, just need a bit more work on my coffee art skills ! If you like fine coffee with ease and milk options for Flat White and Cappuccino then this is the machine for you. So pleased with the coffee and the machine.
Easy to use, Excellent Coffee
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
Best coffee machine!!
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.
Great to wake up to
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.
Coffee machine with milk frother in one unit.
Just a wee update to keep this review factual. At around a year use the milk frother failed, was making loud whines and not heating milk properly.
I contacted Amazon support and they replaced the entire unit without issue.
This is why I buy big value items from Amazon as the support I’ve had you don’t get in local shops sadly.
**original review**
This machine is excellent. We have owned it for just shy of a year and use it multiple times a day.
Never had any issues with it.
It has accepted pods from the cheapest to the dearest and worked with them all.
The best feature is it has the milk frother and coffee machine in one unit.
Coffee is brewed quickly, the water comes out almost right away boiling hot and the milk frother is also very quick.
The machine has a built in screen with preset coffee types and milk frothing settings to adjust to your personal preferences.
You can also use the machine without pods to make tea and the milk frother to make hot chocolate, it’s quite versatile, we never use the kettle anymore.
It’s also very easy to keep clean, the pods drop into a removable drawer and any excess liquid is collected in the base at front which is also removable.
Excellent machine, will buy again when this one gives up.
Definitely recommended to coffee lovers.
Nice smooth coffee
If you like a hot coffee you need to heat the milk for each cup individually.
I'll add to the chorus of praise
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.
Stylish and perfect for the job
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
Amazing machine for milk coffee lovers, incredible level of froth
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.
Awesome
Been using it for the past 6 months. It does it all. Name it you have it. Plenty of options to really tailor and customise your coffee the way you want i
Much better coffee than the old Nespresso machines
I’ve previously owned another early model Nespresso machine and fallen out of love with it. It didn’t really make coffee that tasted great so I was sceptical about buying this one and was considering a bean to cup machine. However I have to say that I’m very impressed and it has exceeded my expectations both in terms of taste and function and the milk steamer really helps make a difference if you like trying your hand at coffee art! It’s super convenient especially if you drink both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee and has been easy to clean when needed.
Sage Nespresso coffee machine is fantastic. Shame about the pods!
I deliberated whether to buy this (because of the pods) or the Sage espresso manual machine. I’m sure both equally good but this really does make great coffee quickly and easily. So easy to clean. Really happy with it.
Best Machine
I left it a few months to make comment. I’d say this is the best coffee machine I’ve ever purchased!
The design is beautiful and functional. I always disliked the milk containers of previous machines, having to fill to a minimum and then store the excess in the fridge etc. With the wand and jug you can simply make and froth only the amount of milk you need at any one time. Then simply rinse the small jug for next use.
The amount of settings allows you to have the perfect coffee – blend, temperature and milk combo/froth – every time and is extremely easy to set or override.
It needs minimal daily cleaning, both tray and wand takes less than a minute to clean. Descaling is very simple and there is a step by step guide on the machines display to assist.
Beautiful to look at and easy to use
Have had previous Nespresso machines but this is tops. So easy to use and the integrated milk frothier that self cleans is fantastic. Absolutely love this machine. It is pricey but there are usually offers to be had so keep an eye out.
Amazing machine, obviously a bit pricey but does everything you need!! the milk frother has a self cleaning function after every use which is good. You can choose how much coffee you want from the shot (my old machine only gave you a dribble). This machine lets you choose the temperature of your coffee and milk, which gives you a warmer drink for longer, my current machine coffee goes cold quickly after pouring.
Overall 10/10 machine, money well spent.
If you’re looking for a coffee machine that makes great coffee that you can replicate every time then look no further.
I am a coffee lover but have struggled for years trying to get the perfect coffee at home, trying to be a home barista with an espresso machine is a nightmare – coffee everywhere, inconsistent milk frothing, inconsistent pulling of shots and lots of mess to clean up afterwards. In the end I reverted back to the kettle and my espresso machine has sat dormant for time.
After reading revies after review of different coffee machines I decided to go with the Nespresso Creatista – never used nespresso pods before but from reading reviews they seemed great. I wasn’t dissapointed. Firstly the machine is beautiful and top quality. Finished in stainless steel it oozes style and class and looks great on the kitchen worktop.
Out of the box it was simple to set up and one switched on heats up in only 3 seconds! There’s so many nespresso pods on the market you’ve got loads to choose from, I’m still working my way through the many different types – at the moment I particularly like the L’Or Onyx pods which are a 12 strength and a very nice blend.
This machine produces coffee shop quality coffee at home – the milk is amazing, I used to drink lattes but after getting this machine now drink a flat white. The milk is dense and amazing. You can choose the heat of the milk, the amount of milk you want and how you want it frothed – you put the milk in the jug and let the machine do its work. No wobbling a jug about trying to warm the milk and get the right consistency – the machine does all the work you just watch in amazement as it produces quality milk time after time.
Espressos are simple and easy to make, once you’ve finished the pods go into a little bin and takes approx 15 pods to fill it before it needs emptying. The milk wand purges itself after every use so the only thing you need to do is wipe it down and remove the milk before it does that. The drip tray is easy to remove and easy to clean as is the water tank.
The display on the unit is easy to read and navigate using the turn dial and setting up your drink preferences is simple to do.
All in all couldn’t recommend a better machine. It’s simple and easy to use, makes fantastic coffee, has the ability to customise your drinks and has basically zero maintenance. If you’re wondering whether to buy this I’d say yes don’t hesitate. It’s helped me fall in love with coffee once more and everyday I’m excited to try a different coffee type and see what this machine is capable of.

Amazing
Have had this nespresso machine for a few days and I love it.
Was unsure if I wanted a pod machine or a “bean to cup”. Readung through hundreds of reviews everywhere I looked, I am so pleased I got this one as I can make any coffee I fancy and without having too much to clean after. And the best thing is that you get great tasting coffee every time.
Subscribing to nespresso is easy and I love the fact that they will fully recycle the pods. Simply add the free recycling bags to your order and when they deliver your next batch of coffee pods they will take the bag for recycling .
I could go on and on, but if you are looking for a great coffee machine with little or no hassle this Sage coffee machine is a must.
Highly recommend it.
Looks lovely
It certainly looks lovely in the kitchen. It replaced a Lavazza machine that made amazing coffee. Haven’t got there with this yet but will try the different types to see if I can.
Best machine we've had
We have been through about 4 previous espresso coffee machines over the last 12 years or so, including Gaggia (regular espresso, and a bean-to-cup machine) and AEG/Lavazza (two generations of the Fantasia), and this is easily the best of them.
The big advantages are:
– Most importantly, it makes the best coffee we’ve had out of a home machine
– Solid build – it looks and feels really well built, and the stainless steel finish looks great
– User interface – I thought the screen would be a gimmick but it’s actually very useful having a display telling you what the machine is doing and what needs doing next. This is really useful for maintenance activities like descaling and cleaning the steam wand
– Milk steaming – we drink mostly cafe lattes and our daughter likes babyccinos (frothed milk) so this is important to us. I’ve previously had machines with traditional steam wands (Gaggia), as well as the AEG Lavazza which had a contraption for whizzing milk in a special jug while pumping steam into it. Neither of these matched the quality of the steamed milk that the Sage machine produces automatically. Firstly, it gets the temperature spot on every time due to a cleverly located thermometer that makes contact with the metal milk jig – no more “burnt” milk (which smells and tastes disgusting). Secondly, the settings allow the ratio of steam and air to be changed, from flat white (silky microfoam texture, very few air bubbles) to maximum froth which results in the volume increasing by about x4 and makes an amazing babyccino.
– Some other nice design features, like the steam wand multi-tool hidden underneath the water container that can be used to clean the holes in the tool wand as well as unscrew the cap for cleaning the inside, the ring handle at the top the water container that makes it easy to pull out and carry, the push-to-open shelf for placing short cups closer to the coffee spout, and the way it waits for the steam wand to return after removing the milk jug before steam purging to keep the inside of the wand clean.
One thing that I would have liked is to buy another one of the stainless steel milk jugs that came with it, as these constantly need cleaning. I couldn’t find an original one, however I found another that works just as well, except it doesn’t have the min/max level markings but these could be added with a permanent marker: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L2ZMS11/
The one annoyance I’ve noticed so far is that when descaling, if you leave it doing its “thing” for too long it tends to go to sleep and then when it wakes up you have to start the whole cycle again. It will actually lock you out of making any more coffee until the descale cycle makes it all the way to the end of the cycle.
I would also add that the used capsule container only stores about a dozen capsules, and the drip tray fills up quite quickly, so both of these need emptying quite frequently.
Stunning Machine
This is a brilliant Machine, I have had 5 Nespresso machines and this is by far the best. Loe the personalisation of strength, water, milk, temp etc. The coffee is hot as well as is the milk frother.
I use at least 10 times a day, quick, easy to clean and comes with a little stainless steel jug and some capsules.
Love i
Incredible! - Pleasantly surprised!
I’m a bit of a coffee snob, and I used to have a proper espresso machine and a professional quality grinder. The pump blew so it’s been out of action for a while.
So when my other half asked for a Nespresso machine for her birthday, I was initially resistant and saying that I’d fix the proper machine etc, but eventually gave in and said I’d get one.
I had a look and wanted one that would also steam milk and found this one.
I was fully expecting it to be not very good and thought the milk probably won’t work properly.
I was totally wrong. On my proper espresso machine, I used to have to warm it up for 30 minutes before, and since it was single boiler, I had to raise the boiler temp in order to do milk.
With this machine you just turn it on and it’s ready to go. There’s no warm up time, it’s literally on and it’s ready, and the results are great. To do the milk you don’t have to wait for the boiler to get up to temperature, it’s instant steam. I’ve got no idea how it works, but it’s fantastic.
It’s so quick and easy, and the results are brilliant. I’m really surprised, I was not expecting it at all. I just made another great coffee with it and was compelled to come and write this review!
I’ve had the Sage Creatista Plus for three months now and loving it. I’ve tried a range of the Nespresso original coffees as well as those from other providers and not been disappointed with any but I think I’m more impressed with the Nespresso original and L’Or coffees. Out of the box the machine looks great and makes great coffee. It’s quick and simple to use and very easy to adjust the coffee to you preference in terms of volume and temperature, both of which I’ve turned up a bit to match my preference. It is very quick to heat up and provide a great range of drinks. The milk heating and frothing is spot on and so simple to use I found the out of the box setting OK if you wanted to drink your coffee right away but it left me wanting another in terms of volume. I’ve been a coffee pod user for a good number of years now, I have the Dolce Gusto both at home and in the office at work and that’s great still for a drink and filling my travel mug. But for enjoying a good cappuccino or nice lungo at home it’s got to be the Creatista, so much so that the Dolce Gusto is now only used for the travel mug and the kettle is now a redundant piece of kitchen equipment. The build quality of the machine is very good, as I’ve found with the other Sage products I own. It’s not had light use over the three months, it’s processed neary 300 pods since I’ve had it and there are no signs that it will have any problems carrying on. It’s not a silent machine, the pump and steam wand do make a noise but nothing excessive considering it’s a pump sat on a wooden surface. On the whole, a great piece of kit and worth every penny.

Next level Nespresso Pod Coffee
I ordered this as a replacement for my Latissima Touch which served me for 5 years. Despite replacing a few easy parts it wasn’t the same. This be machine is lovely and shiny. If you are a bit OCD like me you will be wiping it down every now and then. But that’s the price you pay for nice things!
The milk frother has different settings that you can customise, heat, froth etc. It has two measure lines for min and max milk. However if you want a smaller cup you can go half way between the bottom and the min line. Otherwise the cappuccino cups from Nespresso won’t hold all the milk. My latte art is like something my parents would have stuck on the fridge when I was 3, so a bit of getting used to! I also use the milk frother for hot chocolates. Once you use the milk frother you have to clean the wand and then it automatically purges when reset.
Nespresso coffee pods are great and it brews just fine. It has all the options one requires from a short to a long coffee, milk is frothed according to what type you want (flat white, latte etc).
I like how it doesn’t let the water tank run dry so hopefully no more air locks.
There is a newer version of this machine but the only differences I can see is that it breed coffee and milk at the same time, and a few customisation options which can be saved. As this is cheaper I’d say the differences are not worth the extra cost.
Very happy with this.
I like i
Before I owned The profitec 500 It was excellent but takes a lot of time to get a cup of coffee
But with this machine I can make my coffee within two minutes of steaming the milk in a professional way like profitec
P.S The taste of the capsules is completely different from the fresh coffee beans, but it is acceptable
Best Tasting, Best Looking Machine you can ge
The most beautiful Nespresso machine out there, with the ability to create your own Latte Art as the Micky steamer is fully customisable. So far I haven’t reproduced the heart or ferns leaves you get in a coffee shop but can consistently make a slodge shape.
Love the machine, Love the coffee (buy good capsules) and in time in pays for its self as it Works out at 90% less than your average coffee price.
Nespresso Creatista
Only a one star for blending and versatility because it doesn’t blend and can only be used with nespresso capsules so not really relevant.
On the plus side – Quick warm up. Froths milk really well and you can control the frothiness and temperature. The controls are easy to understand and it takes you through the cleaning process step by step. No need to have manual on standby.
Love it and wished I’d bought it sooner. Only regret is now available through nespresso subscription, machine for a 1
This machine is amazing. It has a load of modes and makes just about every type of coffee which will suit a variety of coffee lovers tastes.
A key feature I love is the self clean milk froth nozzle, which jets water through the pipe to remove traces of milk rotting inside.
The only one niggle I have with it, is the twister toggle to select coffee seems to swipe in the opposite direction to what you’d expect. It takes a bit of getting used to.
