Nespresso Lattissima Coffee Maker Review

The Lattissima enhances Nespresso's brewing with one touch to a new level. It can brew espresso and lungo in less than a minute, and accepts various capsules from the company.

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

Simple to use

This black Nespresso machine pop machine, which is basic in appearance, is simple to maintain and use. It has a minimalist, straightforward design and just one button at the top that controls powering, rinsing brewing and much more. Simply remove the lid, place in the capsule, and press the button to start making coffee. It heats quickly and offers many drink options such as double-shot espresso, a 5 8 or 18-ounce cup of coffee. It even comes with a steaming wand that can be used for adding cafe-worthy milk texture to your drinks. Although we like its simple interface and compact size, we found that the machine didn't perform like more expensive models in making rich-tasting espresso and coffee. It's also not as easy to recycle capsules as other machines we tested. This is why nespresso vertuo plus coffee machine isn't a top pick for our side-byside test.

Quick to Brew

The Nespresso machine can make one cup of espresso in just 15 minutes. The heated water from a reservoir enters a pump that pierces the small holes that are on the top of the pod. The water is then mixed with the ground coffee, and drips into the cup. We tried the machine with Jones Brothers and Bestpresso capsules and it produced an extremely rich and delicious espresso that has a slight bite. We also tested whole, 2% and almond milk and found that all performed well.

Easy to clean

It is essential to clean a Nespresso machine on a regular basis both inside and out. This will help keep it running smoothly and ensures it's safe to use. It also makes the coffee you make taste better. It is possible to clean a Nespresso with a variety cleaners that include vinegar. It is however recommended to use a descaling solution instead, since vinegar can be damaging to the machine.

To clean your Nespresso machine take out all the pods. Clean the drip tray and capsule container. Then, fill a sink or a large bowl with warm water and add a few squirts of dish soap. Let the drip tray and container soak in the soapy water for several minutes to break up gunk and stains. Rinse the drip tray and capsule container using hot water. Then you can use a nonabrasive fabric or sponge to clean off any residues or stains. After you scrub the drip tray and capsule containers clean them and allow them to completely dry before returning them to your machine.

Once your machine is clean, it's time to descale it. Follow the steps in your manual for a specific method. If not, you can make your own DIY descaling solution by using white vinegar or citric acid. If you're using vinegar, make sure to use white vinegar rather than balsamic or apple vinegar, since they are too harsh for this purpose.
