Would recommend for regular coffee drinkers
Bought this for my boyfriend as I don’t drink coffee. He loves the versatility however tells me that it is difficult to get a full mug of coffee. Machine tends to produce around half a cup – unless it’s just that we haven’t got the hang of it yet! He does however use this every day so definitely getting money’s worth
FAILURE MACHINE NESPRESSO
MY MACHINE NO LONGER WORKS WATER NO LONGER RUNS AND THE CAPSULES ARE NOT PERFORATED.
I HAVE IT TARTAR SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT RESULTS.
HOW CAN I GET IT FIXED IG IT IS NOT POSSIBLE? I WOULD LIKE AN EXCHANGE BECAUSE MY MACHINE IN GARANTIE

Barrista quality coffee at home
After a couple of months of solid use, I have to say that this is very impressive.
I have had nespresso machines in the past, mostly Kitchen Aid machines, but after faulty buttons and leaks over the worktop, I decided to take the plunge and spend a little more this time.
Firstly, the machine looks incredible, and it feels like a solidly made piece of equipment with a comforting weight to it.
As far a making coffee goes, it heRs up very quickly, around 3 seconds, and a good quality pod will be poured with a good crema.
Using the settings on the screen provides the correct amount of coffee through the pod and the programmes for the types of coffee allow you to match the right milk setting needed depending on whether you want a Flat White, Latte, Latte Machiato or Cappuccino.
Secondly, the milk produced is the best I managed at home. The steam wand works incredibly well providing the right amount of heat in the milk, and the right amount of foam. I’m no Barrista, but there are plenty of videos on line showing how you can produce Latte art on your coffee at home using this machine.
Its is brushed stainless steel, so it will show finger marks and splashes, but I clean the machine each evening so it looks as good as new wack morning and it does not take long.
It will tell you when it is time to clean the steam wand which will depend on how much you use it, but making about 5 or 6 cups a day, it works out to be every week that I need to clean it. It walks you through the process and it is easy to do. To get the milk foam right, you do need to do this, but it’s really worth it.
Overall, I wish I bought this machine before. There is a new version available with a colour touch screen. But the difference in price is not worth it.
If you love coffee, this makes coffee at home to a similar standard you would get at a coffee shop, si it’s worth the treat at home.
Make sure you get the cups etc that make every homemade coffee feel like you’re having a treat!!
Easy and delicious
Can’t tell you how much I love this machine.
I haven’t visited a well known coffee shop since I have had it.
It is quick, easy and delicious.
I have had numerous coffee machines including 4 Nespresso’s and yes this the more
Expensive but worth every penny.
Costa coffee at home
Never leave reviews, have had various entry level pod machines in the past, after them breaking with a year or so decided to splash out on this machine, had 2 months now and it really is ana amazing machine. Closest you’ll get to a Costa !! Decent coffee with multiple options on temp, frothy milk, strength. Used by all the family daily and had no issues
Great bit of kitchen ki
Great bit of kitchen kit for coffee lovers that want a machine that makes achieving great coffee easy. Makes great coffee just like you can buy from the chains and with the pod recycling system it’s ticks the green box too. The automatic cleaning settings are easy to follow and it’s easy to clean the drip trays.
My Coffee Machine of Dreams!
I love this machine!
Its curbed my take out coffee addiction and since using this machine i have not needed sugar in my coffee as this brews and creates a smoother coffee.
I understand this is a considered purchase but I have even converted my hubby to using it, and we are saving money even though we had an initial outlay.
Recommend anyone to buy this.
Excellent Produc
I have had the Sage coffee maker for about four weeks and am very pleased with the quality of the coffee produced, the variety of options, as well as the ease of use and cleaning. My one niggle is that the minimum milk requirement is more than I need for a single cup. No adjustment is possible because the jug must keep contact with the sensor and the depth of milk in the jug must accommodate the length of the wand. Apart from that, it’s an excellent product.
Super coffee make
I found it a little fiddly at first and had to keep referring to the user manual to make the coffee as it has a lot of options, but after a few tries I knew what to do. It’s very versatile, the coffee and milk temperature is always perfect and it’s a great looking machine. Really easy to clean which is an absolute must for me. I love this coffee maker.
Perfec
Great product, top quality and great range of hot drinks. Other reviews regarding the heat setting seem strange, the higher settings are extremely hot. We also purchased 3 months before the onset of the pandemic (Dec-19) for GBP249, bargain compared to what it is now given elevated demand.
Easy To Use
A very easy to use coffee machine, it takes you through each step and makes a fantastic Latte! I have the brushed stainless steel version and it looks incredibly smart in my kitchen.
Fantastic machine!! and you can recycle pods with nespresso!
The best kitchen purchase I have ever made! I love this machine and get so many compliments on it! Works perfectly well, easy to us and clean! I recommend the nu cleaning pods and also a descaler to keep it in tip top condition! Looks classy and is a real feature in the kitchen. Arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. Highly recommend!
Excellent machine
Got this to replace a Tassimo machine – always felt the coffee had a funny taste (probably due to the milk pods) so I wanted a machine that would heat fresh milk. Decided on the Nespresso Creatista Plus by Sage and I have not been disappointed – easy to use and the coffee tastes great (as good as in a coffee shop). You can vary the milk temperature and amount of foam. Still experimenting with the pods. The machine came with a selection pack and I also got 100 more free as part of a promotion. Machine is easy to clean and doesn’t take up too much room on the worktop.
Great coffee maker that shines for convenience
So far it’s the best Nespresso machine by far (and I’ve owned some expensive ones) – although there is a lot of tech so we’ll have to see how reliable it turns out to be.
Coffee control is very good (albeit typical Nespresso) and you can choose between ristretto, espresso and lungo measures – plus you can adjust the volume to suit your taste.
However, it’s the milk steam wand that really shines, with settings for every milky drink imaginable. It automatically textures your milk perfectly – just pour milk into the supplied jug, put it under the wand and press a button. Seconds later you’re presented with steamed and textured milk ready to complete the beverage of your choice. Awesome!
In summary, I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase.
Quality Coffee Maker!
Great Coffee machine. I’m very new to coffee and tend to order milky coffee drinks when out and about. Having looked across the range only this machine seemed to give me the options I wanted.
It is an expensive machine but it does produce good drinks repeatedly.
The machine is easy to set up but only supply’s one strip. Once the initial set up and clean is complete I was marking great coffee straight away.
Nespresso produce a wide range of pods and supply a sample in the box, mix this with the other brands of compatible pods and there are drinks for everyone.
So far I’m really impressed with the machine and it gets used regularly.
Pros: Great coffee, easy to operate/maintain, good selection, Fast.
Cons: it’s quite expensive, if you want a specific colour although the silver is usually cheaper (still expensive though)
I owned a little Dolce Gusto Jovia for a couple of years and was really happy with it. Cheap and cheerful and pretty decent coffee. I decided though it was time to upgrade and started to look at bean to cup machines. So many to choose from ranging from reasonably cheap to very expensive. Read review after review but couldn’t decide. Then realised that bean to cup machines are a bit more time consuming and messy. So had a rethink about what exactly I needed. I came to the conclusion that I like milky frothy coffee only. Coffee taste wasn’t a main priority for me. I can’t really tell the difference in a lot of coffees. So I needed a machine that delivered hot frothy milk coffee. Was pointed in the direction of this Sage machine. Lots of good reviews and the machine is able to do Flat Whites, Lattes and capuchinos. So I bought it and can only say that it’s an absolutely brilliant little machine. Plenty of settings to get the blend that suits you. You can adjust amounts of coffee, milk texture and froth. I absolutely love the flat white. Self cleans the milk wand after every use. This is the machine you need to buy. It’s brillia
Great milk frothing!
We love our cappuccinos and lattes, and were very pleased with our Lattissima Touch – a great Nespresso machine with a very convenient milk carafe system. The most important thing for us is ease of cleaning, and that machine was easy to use and clean. For Christmas, we decided to take advantage of a Daily Deal and buy the Sage Creatista Plus at a great price. The reason was that the Sage had great reviews for its milk frothing abilities, and it was also supposed to be easy to clean. Well, we can confirm that the Sage produces slightly better tasting coffee, and a lot nicer milk. For lattes and flat whites, the foam structure is tight and creamy, while cappuccinos have more froth, and macchiatos the most. Finally, the final result is hotter. There are loads of options to customise milk temperature, froth level and coffee volume, all displayed on an easy to use LCD display. We love it!

Found it at last!
Having been in search of a coffee machine that makes a latte comparable to one from a coffee shop, I have (at long last) found it! This is the fifth machine I have bought, the last one being the Nespresso latissima by Delonghi which was ok but still not what I was looking for. My first impression of the Creatista plus was that it looked the part- very polished and well made. Using it is a breeze, with easy to follow instructions and an intuitive design. The various settings for coffee, milk temperature and froth ensure that you should be able to find the combination that best suits your taste. Without doubt, this is the best coffee I have been able to make myself and is, in my opinion, as good as a coffee bought from a coffee shop (and better than some I have had, too). I wholeheartedly recommend the Creatista plus. A great coffee machine at a great price. Absolutely love it!
Love i
This may be the very best thing I have bought in ages. It’s so easy to use and clean in fact it pretty much does that itself. There are instructions in the display panel and adjusting froth and coffee level a child could do. Had a couple of different machines in the past but this is my favourite. I love the chrome design and it is a bit slimmer than others so takes less room on worktop. If you are thinking about getting one just do it.
Simply Excelle
Easily the best thing I’ve bought in years. Fantastic build quality and so easy to use. We’re using Nespresso recyclable pods which we send back for free to Nespresso and the coffee is simply amazing. I would recommend this machine to anyone.
Great coffee every time!
After years of enduring filter,instant or other versions of coffee I wanted, in my retirement, to have a source of coffee that I could enjoy. The Nespresso family does the job through the.wonderful Creatista Plus and I am now my own barista.
I wasn't a coffee fan before...
But now I sort of take at least one a day. The machine is easy to use, easy to maintain.
The only thing is the nozzle keeps blocking with milk and the needle the machine asks me to use, wasn’t supplied. So I’ve taken off 1 sta
LOVE IT!!
a must for coffee lovers. i use amazons own pods because they are cheaper and the machine works great. can also steam milk without running coffee which is great for hot chocolate.
pretty easy to clean, although i haven’t had to descale ye
Brilliant machine, great coffee
Fantastic machine, makes a great cup of quality coffee in no time at all. It is really easy to clean and maintain and has quite a small footprint. I would recommend the nespresso capsules to use as for me they pack more flavour than the likes of the Starbucks capsules.
Totally Wowed!
I have always said that I wouldn’t want a pod machine, not trusting that I could have the same amount of choice as a bean to cup machine.
After listening to my brother wax lyrical about this machine I decided to give myself a pre-Christmas treat and am delighted that I did!
I already have a built-in AEG bean to cup machine which does generally produce good coffee, but without the versatility of the sage and with more messing and cleaning.
I had a house full of family guests staying over the Christmas period and this machine was a God-send. I showed everyone how to use it (very simple) so they could all help themselves. Even my son-in-law who doesn’t drink coffee (strange, I agree!), but does love a gadget was producing coffee shop standard flat whites complete with heart decorations! On a regular basis.
I have positioned mine between the sink and the fridge. It takes up a pleasingly small amount of worktop space, leaving plenty of room for a bottle of Jamesons so a nice Irish coffee is a doddle!
My brother also recommended the fine coffee company pods, which I have found to be excellent and great value.
I haven’t bought Sage products before but would certainly check them out if looking for other kitchen equipment.
Beautiful barista quality look and feel plus very reliable and pleasure to use
Is a joy to use. Is easy to use and modify. Great quality of finish and style. Looks and feels robust
Really like the milk heating and frothing capability. Even has auto temp sensor under the jug
I have only used for one day and 10 coffees. As we are in a hard water area I am hoping it’s auto clean / descale capability is as good as everything else
So fat a joy to use.
3 months later. Still a joy to use! Very easy to keep clean, have been through a recommended clean cycle and digital screen takes you through it, very cool. Still looks classy and attractive in kitchen as well as working perfectly.
We nearly bought an all singing and dancing product from sage that did the grinding etc, but after having a demo it occurred to us how much of a pain they are and how hard it is to get the exact flavour you want, things like grind size how fresh the beans are etc all make a big difference. Much easier, and cleaner to leave it to Nespresso and with the choice they have today you’re not missing anything, oh and this machine is really clean and reliable, and ultimately, the coffee is grea
Great machine
Takes a bit of getting used to the features and can be confusing when it puts coffee in then you press for milk then it shows the coffee button again when actually it’s complete, odd logic. Well built and looks great, I’m sure I’ll get used to i
I bought this machine Black Friday 2019 for 250. I Managed to sell my old Nespresso Citiz machine to offset the cost. Even better bargain coming with x10 sleeves of coffee and 25 towards their subscription service. The 25 subscription signs you up to monthly coffee but the first month is free (25) as well as the 6th month (25). I did however simply order 25 of free coffee and immediately cancel so I ended up with around x20 sleeves of coffee with the purchase of the machine or 200 capsules. A good start.
The machine in a stainless steel finish looks great in the kitchen. Whilst not touch screen it does have a digital screen display which is easy to navigate. All the major coffees (including flat white) are available to choose with preset recommendations of coffee size, temperature, frothiness of the milk. These can be adjusted and it does save you amendments.
I bought this as it is much easier to make multiple coffees without the Aerochino. The way the machine auto-froths the milk is much more akin to a store bought coffee. Quite a bit more expensive for that sake but well worth the money.
I would definitely recommend the machine.

Amazing
I own 2 Gaggia coffee machines, 1 x barista style and 1x pod.
After many years the pod machine needs replacing
Have held off nespreso system. After reading reviews decided to go with the Sage machine.
A bit like going from vinyl to an iPhone.
So easy to use and adjust every area of coffee making. How hot and foamy the milk, how strong the espresso. All in a very simple menu which can be easily adjusted as and when you like. Warms up in 3 seconds. Easy to keep clean and doesn’t take up to much work space.
Never posted a review before but this is such a great machine
Milky coffee drinker? Get your wallet ready.
OK. So this is an expensive coffee machine – there’s just no arguing it. By my gosh if it isn’t the easiest coffee machine I’ve ever used, and the quality of it is absolutely superb. Designed to accept Nespresso capsules (and of course the absolute myriad of compatible capsules that are out there), this machine really helps make coffee shop quality at home without any of the hassle. Fill the jug with milk, and put the wand in. Pop your mug on the rack, choose the type of coffee you want, and pretty much just hit go. The coffee quality is wonderful, and the milk is steamed to perfection, with all of the froth you’d want on your latte. And goodness only knows how many different combinations you could put together. I am absolutely in love with this machine, and cannot recommend it enough if you enjoy Latte’s, Cappucino’s and the like. If, however, you really just want the Espresso – there are MUCH cheaper machines out there that will do just as good a job for you.
Amazing machine
Upgraded to this from a basic machine and oh wow, it’s SO much better. To be fair it’s probably just the milk that makes the biggest difference but this is way better than the aeroccino at ‘frothing’ and heating the milk, also easier to clean a jug than the aero. You can increase the heat and volume of the coffee too which is amazing. I thought my little Krups machine was good until I had this. Full marks, really taste like barista coffees, love i
The Bees Knees.....
This machine is the bees knees….. Every coffee is exactly the same as the last (providing you use the same pods). In other words, one Latte is the same as the next. One cappuccino is the same as the next, etc. etc…… The consistency of each of the same coffee is exactly the same as the last (providing you want the same , that is) Ok, this machine may seem a little pricey, but I can tell you..it’s worth every penny. You will NOT be disappointed. You will, as I do… Love it. You will NOT look back. And the only machine you’ll ever need to make weak, strong, medium, black, white, frothy…. etc. coffee to a top resturant’s standard. Plus the fact that it’s pure gorgeous and simple to operate. Enjoy
Quality!
Nespresso is a great brand and this machine enhances it. It is stylish, quality, robust plus incredibly quick in heating and dispensing giving a great crema. I had been looking at spending the money on this for for the past 9 months, now I’m wondering why I delayed…the price is justified
I’ve become my own barista and I love it!
You definitely get what you’ve paid for. The milk frother elevates this product as the machine produces a variety of drinks that match if not better the quality of the big coffee shops. It’s the perfect machine to wake up to in the morning and come home to after a long day at work. I’ve become my on barista and I love it!
Just love my new machine it replaced the one that had a milk container that you put in a fridge, but i found i forgot it and it went off wasting milk. but this new one with a jug to use fresh milk it brilliant. and the froth and blend it as good as the shop coffee . would have like a larger cup when using it as an americana but as someone suggested put two pods in, never thought of that. going to experiment with steamed milk and chocolate.
So pleased I decided to treat myself!
This is a beautiful-looking machine and makes me happy every time I go into the kitchen – I am so pleased I decided to treat myself. The coffee is consistently delicious and the machine works brilliantly, the milk steamer is a great bonus. I had a much smaller Nespresso machine previously, without a a milk steamer, and it was a bit glitchy-y. This machine lets you know if there isn’t enough water and even when it needs a clean. It is a luxurious bit of kit and I have saved a fortune because I just don’t need to buy coffees on the High Street.
I love everything about this coffee machine and my husband says it is one of the most well thought out products he has ever used.
Pros
It has a larger than most tank for the water.
Easy to read display.
Temperature guage for the milk.
Drip tray used pod tray and water tank easy to remove, clean and repalce.
Pin to use when steam wand gets blocked.
Coffe produced from the pods is excellent.
Cons
When the steam wand gets blocked (our son wasn’t cleaning it after use) we struggled to clean it because it was saying purge (clean) but when we used the steam purge off the menu is still told us it need cleaning it wasn’t untill we realised that we need to press the silver knob on the maintenace screen that we managed to clean it properly so therefore it wasmainly user error. Since then we haven’t had to go through that process againand the machine is used at least a dozen times a day.
Delivered on time, packaged well and as described.

Top line machine especially for Latte drinkers
Had my eye on one for a while but was waiting for my old Nespresso Maestro machine to fail but as it such a brilliant machine I never thought I would buy the sage. Amazons deal of the day changed that and with such a good deal I bought one. This is a slick machine, l personally love a latte so I use it for this, but my kids love hot chocolate and with the milk function you can soon make those too, in fact it’s great for a range of drinks, with or without coffee. As a Nespresso Ambassador, with over 15 years of different machines, if you haven’t tried Nespresso coffee then you don’t know what your missing, it’s simply wonderful with a wide range of coffee flavours and strengths to taste. This machine is well built, blends tech with form and function and I hope I get a good few years service from it. It heats up within 3 seconds!! My only initial comments (not negatives as such) would be that the capsule holder isn’t all that big so every other day emptying of you drink 3/4 a day would be in order and the drop tray isn’t that large either and as the milk wand cleans itself after each use means that it will soon be full after 2/3 days of use. How reliable it will be remains to be seen, but two weeks in it’s working brilliantly. 4 months in and the machine has performed brilliantly. The only issue is the milk wand which does need to be prodded with the special tool that you get (tucked under the water tank) which unblocks the steam jets which sometimes block up. Slightly annoying but simply fixed by using the tool to unblock the 4 holes which the steam comes out of. Still a great machine and would recommend highly
Wonderful taste and froth, beautiful, after learning it, super easy to use.
I own 3 Nespresso machines, this one is the latest one (also own a U – my old main one, and assenza mini – my travel one) this machine ropes them both, coffee comes out amazing, the frothy milk made to perfection, much better then the airochinos (I own 3+4) and it is VERY easy to use after you adjust it to your taste and learn it a bit, for technophobes it might take some time.
Also, the coffee at the first few days tasted a tad bland.. it take some time for the machine to start brewing well or maybe it’s just the adjustments I made with the programs.. either way, after the first few days coffee is better then in an artisan coffee shop.
Gr.eat tasting coffee when you want i
Easy to use so long as you keep it clean, easy step by step on screen instructions, follow the correct strength setting for best results.
Oh my god, this is fantastic. I was lucky to buy this when it was the deal of the day.
It makes the best coffee with so many wonderful different ways, so you can fine tune it to just the way you like your coffee.
I used to have a tassimo coffee machine, this is a good 90% better, and the pods can be returned and recycled by Nespresso.
This machine replaced my 7 year old Delonghi esam4200 which served me well but it was time for a change. I had always dismissed “pod machines” as I believed that they couldn’t possibly match the taste of bean to cup. One day I was passing the Glasgow Nespresso boutique and was offered a demonstration of this machine. I was blown away with it’s ease of use and with the quality of the coffee. Yes, the machine is expensive, even if bought from Amazon, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. Consistent quality coffee in a fraction of the time. Just be prepared for the ongoing cost as you work your way through the range of pods as you find your favourites. I have tried most 3rd party ones and, with the exception of Cafe Nero I have not been impressed. Having tried most official pods my current fav’s are Arpeggio, Dharkan and Envivo Lungo though I haven’t had any I don’t like, except Ciocattino which is not to my taste.
Love this machine, it’s incredibly easy to use with step by step directions on the control panel. I can’t drink dairy so use soya milk or coconut milk and this steams the milk perfectly. It is expensive but this is the cheapest I could find it anywhere. I had one of the cheaper machines and this is streets ahead. It looks great on the countertop too and is very easy to clean. I looked at many other machines and this was one of the few with a steam wand as I didn’t want to have to be constantly cleaning any milk containers. This also heats up in a couple of seconds which is great when you’re in a rush. The only downside is that some of the removable parts can’t go in the dishwasher, which isn’t a big deal.
Lovely coffee, trying to fix issues with nespresso not easies
Makes amazing coffee however feel a bit let down with the sellers help with issues. Had it a couple weeks and the milk frothier (even though cleaned daily) seems to clog quite easily. We have to soak the end in hot water or it doesn’t make the milk properly. I contacted Amazon but they directed my straight to nepresso, trying to get through to them was extremely difficult.
UPDATE- Amazon sent a replacement, had it for 3 years, works amazing
Hands down the best nespresso machine out there. Everything about this machine is superior. The coffee. The milk. The build.
The design of the machine is retro modern with stainless steel finish. It looks expensive and is easy to wipe down. It’s small and compact perfect for any size kitchen and I love keeping it out and showing it off
The machine is easy to use. Designed for minimal mess but doesn’t sacrifice on quality or control.
Nespresso pods have some many options can can be recycled with bag from Starbucks or you can buy your own reusable pod for your own Coffee and blends
If your thinking about getting this. Stop thinking. Just get it !!!!!
Can often get it on deals and prime day so look out for those.
Great Coffee Machine!!!!
Very stylish, very easy to use and great tasting coffee which uses compatible pods so you don’t have to buy the more expensive ones. Also you can change the volumes, temperature of both milk and coffee . This machine is a no brainer if you like coffee. Buy it , you will not regret it!!!!
Excellent coffee machine, no regrets.
I read every review that I saw about this coffee machine before I got one, I haven’t regretted getting one for a single moment, it is very easy to use and I get a perfect cup of coffee every time I use it.
It’s so simple to clean and it steam purges every time you use it. It lets you know when you need to add the cleaning fluid that descales the machine and clean it through throughly. It’s not every 10 cups that I have seen questions about. I make a point of cleaning it every week, it only takes 5 minutes.
This is my third Nespresso machine, the first bought in 2000. My first machine became ‘not repairable’ after 12 years – I got a discount off the second machine which is still going but I decided I wanted an upgrade plus the Le Cube was a bit too wide for the space available. I love my Nespresso Creatista Plus by Sage, Brushed Stainless Steel machine. I bought this in December 2018, so have enough experience to write a review. The machine produces great coffee, just as good as the previous machines. The steamer funtion produces better foam than the Aeroccino did. There two main areas that make this machine standout. The preprogrammed settings for coffee drink types and the housekeeping functions built in. The water doesn’t run out – you are told to refill before the tank runs dry. The steamer wand self-cleans after each use and tells you when to manually clean the tip of the wand. And the machine tells you when it needs descalling. So, the machine ensures that it is always in tip-top condition. Love it.

Incredible coffee machine!
This was a bit of a random purchase for me but so glad I did it. I checked out the reviews before I did but am really surprised just how good it is. It is so so easy to use, and the automatic milk frother is a masterpiece!! First time I’ve seen a coffee machine being able to do a flat white at the touch of a button or two. The coffee is superior to most coffee shops. Definitely get the stainless steel version – it is quicker than the other colours and has more features for some
reason. My partner now has coffee machine envy!!
Great versatile machine
We bought this to replace a smaller nespresso coffee machine. It is an excellent machine, easy to use and with a good size water container. You can change the heat if you like your coffee really hot. It makes a variety of different coffees with the built in milk frother, which has a nifty auto clean function. We love our new coffee machine!
My best Nespresso machine so fa
This is my third Nespresso machine (1st was a Citiz, 2nd a Lattissima Pro) and I’m fortunate that each one has been better than its predecessor. I’m not going to argue that the flavour coming out of a pod is going to vary across the Nespresso machine range, but the features offered by each machine vary enormously.
The Creatista’s positives are:
o Is very easy to adjust coffee volume
o Is very easy to adjust milk froth type
o Is the best Nespresso milk frother I’ve used to date (far better than the Aeroccino and Lattissima Pro’s)
o The colour display screen is small, but large enough, even for someone with poor eyesight
Three final thoughts:
o The Stainless Steel version has a 3-second start time, the other colours seem to have a 10-second start for some reason???
o The rotary control knob used to select coffee types (Ristretto, Espresso etc) works backwards, at least to me. So you rotate right and the options displayed on the selection screen shift left; the reverse is true. Certainly far from a deal breaker, but it doesn’t seem naturally intuitive to me.
o The only option I miss from the Lattissima Pro is the individual button for each coffee type (Ristretto, Espresso, Lungo, Latte, Cappuccino). I.e you just make your choice. Press. Done. On the Creatista you have to use the rotary knob to scroll through them in turn and then click to select. To be fair I was fully aware of this prior to purchase, and again it’s not a deal breaker, but worth noting if you constantly change coffee type.
Great value
Really well made machine and feels solid; it’s definitely going to last. As expected of Nespresso, the coffee is great with a superb range of coffee for all tastes. Really like the milk steam wand, as well as adding the different milky recipes, it’s great for creamy hot chocolate.
Well worth the money
Sage Creatista Plus Nespresso Coffee Machine.
I have been waiting to get this machine for a while now, oh I am so glad I have it now! A truly wonderful and easy to use piece of kit. Can’t wait to delve further into what it can do.
Ultra fast delivery and very well packaged to keep it safe.
So much coffee to drink now…
After purchasing a Sage machine previously and not being able to froth the milk I was very dubious about purchasing this. I asked a question which a number of people very kindly answered and decided to go ahead. I am definitely not disappointed. It does what it says on the tin and is really easy to use. As strong or as weak as you want your coffee and as flat or as frothy as you like and as hot as you like which was a must for me and the reason I sold my last Nespresso machine. It gives ideal settings but you can alter them. So much easier than my last Sage machine and so much better than my last nespresso machine. I can feel a LOT of coffees coming on 🙂 🙂
Makes amazing coffee, to your specification. The steam wand makes it easy to make perfect foamy milk at the right temperature, which I enjoy in my coffee as well as use for hot chocolate!
My tap water is very hard so it needs descaling quicker than if it was softer or if I filtered it, but the machine walks you through descaling step by step!
I use whole (Lactofree) milk and find I am fairly often having to unblock the wand tip with the provided tool, but even that is really easy and it happens less if you ensure you let the wand expell water once you’ve removed it from the milk, then wipe it with a wet jay cloth then manually tell it to rinse the steam wand again.
All in all I love it!
What a machine!
Can’t rate this machine enough. It’s amazing! Great for making your favourite drink in the morning and saving me a lot as I don’t have the urge to grab a well known branded coffee in the morning! If you live in a hard water area I’d recommend using filtered water. We didn’t to start with and after some time the steam wand would get clogged up often. Descaled it and started using filtered water and it’s like a whole different machine.
Amazing
The price may put some off, but if you enjoy your coffee this is a worthy addition. Substantially better than ‘instant’ alternatives and equivalent to the better coffee shops (sans the experience). Iincludes a variety of drink types (latte, flat white etc…) with easy to follow on-screen instructions. Looks good and adds a nice ‘feature’ to the kitchen. Easy to clean and maintain.
Amazing product and well worth the money.
Expensive but worth i
This is not a cheap machine, infact it’s fair to say it’s an expensive machine! BUT… It really is very good. A considered purchase yes but based upon my own experience, I don’t think you’d have any buyers regret.
A lot obviously depends on the capsules you use for taste etc, but I’ve found the Nespresso ones to be very good. The stronger flavoured ones especially make great flat whites, lattes etc.
The led display is clear and easy to use there are lots of settings to alter the milk froth and coffee amount.
Overkill if you want an espresso in the mornings but if you like milky coffee, bar star bucks or cafe Nero or a 1000 bean to cup maxhine, this is a serious good option.
Creatista by Nespresso
Great product. My only gripe would be the plastic stainless steel look on the front. For the price I would expect actual stainless steel like the body of the machine.
Makes excellent coffee though!
I bought this as it was recommended on the Which website as the most recommended Nespresso machine (although the one with less functionality was) – I bought the one with the most functionality Creatista Plus and I’m glad I did as it was on offer, very expensive piece of equipment but it looks so lovely in your kitchen! I feel like a barista 🙂 I can make coffee just how I like it 🙂 FYI – I paid 269 on Amazon just before Christmas and on the Nespresso website it sells for 399!! I wouldn’t pay that for it, however lovely it is!!
Note of warning if you are a Starbucks lover like me ….it doesn’t work very well with the Starbucks Nespresso pods, you have to scrape the top of them with your nail to make the film thinner before inserting 🙁 [I never force the lid closed – I make it work gently!] 🙂 will have to email Starbucks to get them to make their tops of a thinner material – I’ve had no trouble with any other brands, eg, Taylors of Harrogate, L’Or
Happy Coffee Making 🙂

So glad with this machine save me a lot money now .
Amazing coffee, great looks and so easy to use!
I’ve tried several machines from bean-to-cup (to complex to use and clean), other brands of pod coffee (didnt taste good and quality was not good).
We are very pleased with this purchase. We got in the sale so a bargain and it also had an offer from Nespresso with free 150pods. The machine itself looks amazing and everyone comments when they see it. It is so easy to use, very simple menu system and it cleans itself.
Hassle Free Barista
Was concerned at forst that I’d bought a machine that wold be a bit to complicate but it really is easy to use and easy to clean also.
You can adjust the temperature which is great for me as I like piping hot coffee. Good selection of different coffee’s you can make, and also can be used to just warm/froth milk ready for a hot chocolate.
Came with 150 free pods offer by redeem + 16 pods in the box.
I’m in love!
I needed a machine that would cater for the needs of my whole family including my 11 year old. I’m able to make make my morning coffee and my kids are using it to make chai lattes and hot chocolates with the milk frother. Yes it is pricey, I would definitely recommend it as it is robust and looks the pa
Worth in investment it you want steamed milk and not whisked.
I am not a fan on the Nespresso aerochino, its the main reason i put off getting a Nespresso machine for so long, the wand on this has changed that, i downsized from a semi comercial machine to save size and the drinks are still 90% of the quality i used to get for a machine 1/3 of the size and 1/4 of the cost.
comes with a selection of trial coffees but i think it could do with a few more trial packs as a single coffee isnt enough to try out in different ways, overall very happy with the purchase.
First of all I need to say what a wonderful versatile nespresso machine this really is.
I was initially browsing for a bean to cup style machine however after having a demonstration of this machine I was sold instantly.
My drink of choice is flat white – typically a mystery to many coffee machines on the market but not to this machine from Sage.
One of the many benefits this machine offers is the milk wand allows you to fully customise the texture of the milk.
It’s important to highlight that this feature is a first from Nespresso. Yes, many other variants of machines may feature an ‘aerochinno’ that can froth milk but this is the main difference – froth is not the same as texture!
The Sage Creatista allows you to customise the texture of the milk so for a flat white I can select a more microfoam consistency and for a cappucino I can let the machine go wild and have big frothy bubbles.
Cleaning seems straight forward – the steam wand purges automatically after each use and you need to give it a deeper clean once a month.
I love that the machine is ready to go in 3 seconds and it’s fuss free. Previously I had expensive Gaggia burr grinders and Coffee Machines, grinding my own beans and experimenting with different coffees and milk. However the novelty wore off and I found myself reaching for the kettle to make a cup of instant because of the fuss, mess and time involved to make a good coffee.
Now with this Creatista machine I drop a pod in, fill the jug with milk and it does everything for me in seconds. I’d argue the coffee flavour is better than my old equipment and on a par with that from various high st coffee outlets.
I paid 279 for this machine which was a fantastic price and we have fallen in love with coffee again.

Looks great on the worktop, quality product. Easy to clean, wand self cleans auto after each use, which is great. Water jug is a good size. Really can’t fault the device…
Coffee this think kicks out is far superior to our old tassimo machine & pods work out cheaper too, especially if you use non Nespresso pods, which with this classic style machine you can use without problem. So far used Nesspreso, Starbucks & Roastworks pods. The later being favourite so far.
There are so many nesspreso flavours to go at, still experimenting to find our A list ones. But there are at least 4 that will definitely be stocked in the draw.
Milk frothing probably the main reason you will purchase this model. It’s super easy, consistant, adjustable can’t fault it. I’m no barista mind, have not been able to produce a latte art cup as yet. But hopefully in time will. Only issue I have is with the minimum quantity of milk needed for frothing being too much for 1 cup. Meaning you have to poor some away or into another cup if drinking alone.
Other than that wow loving the coffee this thing makes. So pleased I took the plunge to buy.
Great Machine Read my Great Tip
After reading the reviews I decided this looked like the machine for me.
My son suggested I load a price tracker for Amazon called “CamelCamelCamel”
Whether it was dumb luck or not within a few hours the price dropped 60. 329 down to 279 Later the same day after my purchase it reverted to the dearer price.
Delighted with Machine, Lovely coffee and so simple and fast to use and even more delighted with price
Superb Nespresso Machine
This is the second Nespresso machine that I have owned & this really is the ultimate in Nespresso machines. The steam wand works really well, allowing you to have real control over the amount of milk, the heat & the froth. You really can make coffee shop standard drinks with this machine. Cleaning is easy. Awesome product.
This is a well made attractive machine. I particularly like the large water tank as I don’t keep the machine in the kitchen.
The most useful piece of advice I can give anyone using this type of machine is to run off a little hot water before making your coffee the difference in drink temperature is well worth it.
Most drinks are pre-programmed, this can be adapted to your requirements (I’ve not done this yet) personally I don’t really want to froth the milk myself I have done it but like the easy life of the programmed settings.
As all Nespresso machines work the same realistically the coffee will be the same whatever machine you use.
So it’s really down to if you like milky drinks . I like hot chocolate wile this isn’t a preprogrammed drink the steam wand does a good job without me standing over it.
If your not drinking lattes and cappuccinos you don’t need this machine if you are I’d recommend it the milk is very different from a separate frothe

The machine was bought for a Christmas present partly due to the Winter Promotion of Free coffee and a Free travel mug.
HOWEVER, DON’T BELIEVE ALL THAT YOU READ…..
TO QUALIFY FOR THE FREE TRAVEL MUG YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE 100 CAPSULES DIRECTLY FROM NESPRESSO NOT FROM AMAZON.
Even though it says under the heading ‘VIA ANOTHER PARTICIPATING RETAILER’ – ‘ Purchase another 100 capsules and we will send you another free gift of a travel mug’ – this is not the case as I found out after spending another 46.99 on a 100 pack of Nespresso Capsules and spending 26 minutes on the phone with a Nespresso Club Representative.
That coffee is sure gonna taste bitter… Not the ‘Nespresso Club Experience’ I was hoping for ….. Merry Christmas
I bought this for my dear wife as she loves Nespresso coffe, personally I prefer grinding my own blend of coffee beans, but Hay-How!!
Nevertheless, this machine has some very good coffe settings and options and the milk froth element works really well. It’s sturdily built and certainly looks the part. For Nespresso lovers I would fully recommend this machine.
Outstanding Results from a Beautiful Machine!
I’m a long-time coffee-lover and have sampled numerous offerings around the world. I am really impressed with the finished articles from my new machine. Coffee doesn’t get much better than this! That said, it’s important to prepare fully; warm the cup first and be sure to use the right bean to suit the type of coffee you’re making and to your taste. Enjoy!
Fantastic coffee machine
I last had a Nespresso machine 5 years ago before switching to a bean to cup machine. Unfortunately, beans go bad too quickly so decided to switch back. Chose this machine as I love a latte and properly steamed milk is a must to me. Control and adjustability is just right and makes it simple to make all types of milk drinks. The machine is beautifully styled and made with very high quality materials that will grace any kitchen.
The only slight niggle I had was the select dial is a bit too smooth and does not offer any grip. But that is quickly solved with a quick design and print of a sleeve grip which now makes for much better use.
Overall a fabulous machine that has loads of coffee options, whether with or without milk. Highly recommended.
The bes
Stunning coffee machine, and it doesn’t lie about the 3 seconds heating up… a marvel for a cappuccino in the morning when you are, like me, disorganised and in a hurry!
Would definitely recommend. Although works way better with Nespresso pods and L’Or pods (I think it needs to be the full aluminium ones to get a nice brew).
coffee tastes great, looks great and no mess 🙂
Worth the investment, I’m not so often in coffee shops anymore
Fantastic all round machine!
Amazing machine that delivers every time. Been using for a few weeks now and not had any poor results. So easy to use, just a few settings and a press of a button. We were thinking of getting a ‘bean to cup’ machine but so glad we didn’t. You’re not restricted to just N’espresso capsules so there is more flexibility in coffee choice…… without the mess! The milk frother is an absolute gem and gets the milk prepped so accurately.
Fantastic machine
I don’t normally wax lyrical about a product, I expect anything I buy to work as described. However I am more than pleased with this machine.
I have had three Nespresso machines so far. I started with the excellent Siemens TK70, which I only replaced because I wanted more flexibility with the types of coffee I could make with one button press. I then went to the disastrous De Longhi Lattissima Pro, which never produced three cups of coffee in a row with the same quantities of coffee and/or milk.
So it was with delight that I am now the owner of this Sage machine. It is consistent in quantity delivery and very flexible in what it can be programmed to do. I particularly like the ability to change the quantities and temperature of milk and quantity of coffee on the fly, without having to go into the settings to program it. So if I have a particularly strong coffee I can press the selection button and adjust the quantity of coffee upwards. The next time I make a coffee with a weaker blend I can quickly move it down again.
But most pleasing of all is that I have now been able to go back to frothing the milk myself. Years ago I had a good quality old-fashioned cappuccino machine that had a steam wand, and although it made perfect cappuccino, I became fed up with the cleaning effort after every use. It was for this reason that I went to Nespresso (even though the coffee really isn’t as good). But I missed the correctly frothed milk. In particular I found that both the Siemens and the De Longhi produced variable froth based on the age of the milk and sometimes the make. (Waitrose milk rarely frothed at all but M&S milk did … most of the time).
This thing froths the milk to your liking (you can adjust temperature and degree of frothing) and you can then pour your froth onto the coffee with as much or as little as you wish. And so far it has been consistently good.
The proof of this is that I am now drinking more coffee. I commend this machine most highly.
PS – some advice: When you have finished with the machine for a session, empty the tank and dry it thoroughly inside with a tea towel, then store the tank with the lid INSIDE the tank. The reason for this is that if you live in a hard water area, over time the tank becomes milky in colour due to the hardness of the water, and no amount of cleaning will clear it. For just a couple of minutes’ effort you will be able to keep the tank crystal clear.

Great Purchase!
This coffee machine is superb and I cannot recommend it highly enough!
It works great, easy to clean and as always with Nespresso, offers a lovely espresso in the morning.
Really easy to set up and use, then once done, it is just point and squirt.
Even the more “complex” coffees, are super easy with this machine and if you enjoy your coffee but tired of the process and clean up after, then this is definitely worth getting.
The only slight minus is the small bin for the used pods has no drain itself, so coffee build up in there, which needs cleaning every so often.
Overall can’t fault it and worth the money!
Best Coffee Machine...
I LOVE this machine.
I’ve had a few machines in the past, the most recent was the Dualit 4-in-1. I have always avoided the nespresso machine as they never included the steam wand… until now. Finally a nespresso machine with a steam wand!
This machine is so easy to use I have even allowed my husband to use it!
Some reviews I read prior to purchasing this machine complain that the coffee is not hot enough, I havent found that to be the case but pre-warming the cup does help. Also, I’ve found that rinsing the machine through (running an espresso or Lungo without a coffee pod) helps to keep the machine clean and the coffee tasting its best.
The preprogrammed settings can be adjusted for personal taste – hotter, more milk froth or longer coffee shots.
The self cleaning steam wand is so a delight to use, excellent frothign results and then a quick wipe with a damp cloth, return the wand to its position and you are done. the drip tray is easy to remove and fits back snugly. I’ve had issues with other coffee machines leaking underneath the drip tray but no so with the creatista.
The only reason you could possibly have for not getting this machine is that you prefer using the loose coffee grounds and can get through an entire pack of within 3-5 days of opening it before it loses its freshness.
A truly superb machine!
Fantastic coffee machine with milk steamer!!!
Fantastic machine, very easy to clean and maintain, milk steamer works really very well – coffee quality rivals the decent freshly ground stuff found in coffee shops and where you want to add milk, rivals a barista made coffee costing several times more. Really nicely built and thought out, and the display is nice and clear and a doddle ti use. Highly recommended, would buy again.
Absolutely love this machine! Read several reviews online for all models of nespresso before finally deciding to purchase this one. Like many other reviewers I was planning on buying the champagne coloured model. I read many reviews which stated that the stainless model is not only stainless but has extra options and heats up in 3 seconds as opposed to 10 which is not obvious in the specs. This, combined with the fact that this one was a special deal on prime day I opted with the stainless model.
I am in no way disappointed, and very pleased with my purchase and is worth every penny despite being one of the more expensive machines on the market. I read an article that said Oprah said she loved it and stated it as a must buy for 2017. She could afford any machine and the fact that she chose this one speaks volumes.
The display is very easy to use and we love the fact that you can fully customise your coffee with the amount of froth and heat of the milk. You can ensure that you have a perfect coffee just how you like it every time even without having to visit the coffee shop.
Very stylish addition to our kitchen! The jar of instant coffee is now firmly at the back of our cupboard!
Absolutely love this machine! Read several reviews online for all models of nespresso before finally deciding to purchase this one. Like many other reviewers I was planning on buying the champagne coloured model. I read many reviews which stated that the stainless model is not only stainless but has extra options and heats up in 3 seconds as opposed to 10 which is not obvious in the specs. This, combined with the fact that this one was a special deal on prime day I opted with the stainless model.

I want to say that I live and use this machine in Spain (with 220v) and that with a good adapter that supports the power of the machine (1600W), there is no problem, it works wonders. I bought SKROSS Country Travel Adapter – World to Europe
I say this because it cost me to find information about buying this machine in the UK to use it in Spain. It is not the same if you buy in Amazon USA, because there they have another electric current (110v) and you would need transformer.
I am delighted with my creatista plus. The important leap in this machine compared with the rest of nespresso machines, is how milk works. If you are coffee only, I think it is not worth investing, but if you like to add milk to your coffee, this is your machine. It makes multiple drinks,
personalized, the use is very simple. Again, the big difference is the texture that gives milk, it’s like a cream, impressive.
The only problem (which is not so much) is that at Nespresso Spain they tell me that I can not register my machine because here in my country, this model is not yet sold. I do not understand that a product that sells the Nespresso brand, wherever it is, is not recognized in any country where a Nespresso branch is located.
I was very surprised that in this moment of globalization, an international brand like Nespresso, which also has an exquisite treatment and control of its customers and its machines, does not foresee international purchases. I even spoke with Nespresso Germany to buy the machine there (to avoid having to put a plug adapter), and they told me that they do not ship to Spain, … incredible.
At the warranty level, talk to Krups about your international warranty, information that appears below the product description, on this page, and they told me that the product is guaranteed and there is no problem.
Ah, I forgot to say that the machine is also wonderfully beautiful.
A bit pricey but a fantastic cool looking machine
This is a great machine. I have had it a while now and it takes pride of place in the kitchen. The coffee is great, it is easy to operate for all types of coffee and the instructions to clean or de scale it are shown on a step by step guide on the screen on the top of the machine. It is a bit expensive but well worth it if you like your coffee.
Brilliant machine – great coffee. Replaced a Nespresso Pixie. It’s not too big on the kitchen worktop, looks sleek enough and has a much bigger water tank capacity than other traditional nespresso machines. I’m also sure it’s a little quieter than the pixie was. It is very easy to use via the little lcd scroll screen and single start button. We did have to adjust some drinks from the default settings to get the textures a la Costa, and when making for two you can only just get the milk volume needed in the jug without overflowing, but I would say it’s pretty much spot on once you’ve got those bits figured out. Perhaps a little expensive but I have no hesitation in saying buy it if you want Flat Whites / Lattes / Cappuchinos frequently. 75 nespresso credit if you buy before end if Jan 2018 (yes, even if purchased via Amazon) a bonus!
Simply the best machine you will buy if you love your coffee ,I’ve had a few Nespresso machines and this one is amazing , looks fabulous In the kitchen ,the milk wand is so easy to use and on previous machines I have found my coffee to be luke warm , not with this 5 star machine ,and built to last .I looked at a few models and I am so pleased I went for this Creatista plus .
I bot the plus model. The milk foam from this machine is smooth and very much like those from coffee shops. The 3 seconds heat up time is fantastic! I saw some web-reviews suggesting that the coffee and milk are not hot enough – I am a regularly coffee/expresso/flat white/cappuccino drinker and never feel the coffee produced are “not hot enough”.
I was initially hesitated to pay for such a price and is now glad that I made the purchase. Well done!

This is our third Nespresso machine so we are well inducted into the Nespresso world but this is a whole leap forward. In addition to the look of the thing, swapping the old aerochino milk frothier for a steam pipe means that you are producing really authentic looking and tasting coffees. The machine allows for specific tweaks in temp, volume and milk frothyness (!) in relation to each type of coffee and it’s really easy to use. Really happy with i
This is the ultimate Nespresso maker. Breville combined the best of the best, an excellent, super fast heating Nespresso capsule espresso maker, and a good solid steamer. Then put it all in a package that is gorgeous. And included really simple, intuitive controls.
The instructions say, warms up in three seconds. Not 100% accurate, more like about 10 seconds from completely off to actually delivering espresso or steaming milk. That’s far better than the standard Nespresso machines that take around two minutes to warm up.
This uses a lot more electricity than the other models. The heating element and pump seem to be much larger. If your kitchen circuit is close to capacity, best to not run this and the toaster at the same time.
There is a small learning curve and not everything is super high quality. The steamer is super easy to use. However after you steam milk, have a towel ready to wipe down the steamer right away. Because when you return the steam wand back to home, the steamer purges automatically. You want the milk off the wand before it purges.
There are a couple of seemingly flimsy parts. The espresso tray feels kind of cheap. This is the little drawer that slides out for shorter cups, like an espresso cup. I would have loved the drawer to be spring loaded and to push out completely. Instead it bumps out a little bit and then you have to pull it out the rest of the way. The spent capsule tray has a loose fit – it just doesn’t feel expensive.
The selection knob works backwards – when you turn the knob clockwise, the selections move from right to left.
The screen is easy to read. And the whole thing is infinitely adjustable. And super intuitive to make adjustments, unlike Nespresso machines that require some crazy button pressing to change the volume.
This will make three espresso sizes – ristretto, espresso, and lungo. The volume for each of those can be adjusted, if you like your espresso slightly larger, well press the select button, and then turn the dial to increase the volume. It is as simple as that.
It has four frothed milk drink settings – flat white – steamed milk with almost not foam (a cafe au lait) and espresso; cafe latte – steamed milk with a little bit of foam and espresso; cappuccino – truly steam foam and espresso; latte machiatto – combination milk on the bottom and foam on the top and espresso; and simply steam.
For each of those drinks, the milk temperature and amount of foaming can be adjusted.
The milk steaming / foaming is fully automatic. You pour milk into the included carafe, lift the steam wand with the ring, put the carafe in the machine, lower the wand, and the steaming starts automatically. No need to stir, or move the carafe. The head has multiple holes to stir the milk and foam at the same time. The Nespresso pump works to pump hot steam into the milk, and then a block heater creates high pressure steam at the end to finish the foaming. Temperatures are incredibly reproducible.
The water reservoir is huge. About double the size of any other Nespresso machine. There is a unique low water indicator. The bottom tray holds a lot of overflow. There is a red float that pops up when the tray is filling up.
I have owned and own many Nespresso machines. Starting with a D290 that was retired four years ago after making thousands of Nespresso. I used a Nespresso U for several months and gave that to my sister. I have a Essenza for travel. My wife has a Pixie at school. And the red Citiz is being replaced by this Creatista Plus. I have made thousands of Nespresso. In the long history, only one machine has ever acted up – that original D290, it actually still works, it just had trouble with preheating sometimes.
By far, the best machine of all that I have ever used is this Creatista Plus. Everything came together exactly right with this machine. They got the steaming perfect. And it produces the correct temperature right from the very first espresso made. Other machines require a water only warm up. This machine does not.
Best investment ever. The machine is sold by Breville – where ever you can find those appliances, you’ll find this machine. The service and warranty are all covered by Nespresso.
Truly a gorgeous machine.
