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 under an hour, and can accept various capsules from the company.
The machine can be programmed to produce the exact amount of drinks you want. This is a fantastic feature for busy families.
Simple to use
This basic black Nespresso machine is easy to operate and maintain. It is simple and minimalist in appearance, with just one button on top that controls everything from powering washing to making coffee. Simply remove the lid, insert a capsule and click to start brewing. It is quick to heat and provides many drink options including a double-shot espresso or a 5-, 8 or 18-ounce cup of coffee. It comes with a steaming device to add a cafe-like texture to your drinks. We love the small design and simple interface, however, we noticed that the machine wasn't as rich a espresso or coffee as some of the more expensive models. It's also not as easy to recycle the capsules as other machines we've tested. This Nespresso wasn't the top pick in our side-by-side test due to these reasons.
Quick to brew
The Nespresso machine can make an espresso cup in 15 minutes. The heated water from the reservoir is introduced through a pump and pierces small holes at the top of the coffee pod. It is then mixed with the ground coffee inside and drips into your cup. The machine produced an extremely rich, delicious espresso with just a hint of bite when we tried it with Jones Brothers and Bestpresso coffee capsules. We also tested whole, 2% and almond milk and found that all worked well.
Easy to clean
Cleaning the Nespresso machine is essential both inside and out. This will ensure that the machine is in good condition and ensure its safety. It can also make the coffee you make taste better. It is possible to clean a Nespresso with a variety cleaners, including vinegar. However, nespresso vertuo machine is recommended to use a descaling solution instead, as vinegar can be damaging to your machine.
To clean your Nespresso, begin by removing all the pods and washing the drip tray and capsule container. Fill the sink with warm water, and add a few drops dish soap. Let the drip tray or container soak for a few minutes in the soapy solution to loosen any gunk or stains. Rinse them with hot water, then use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to scrub off any residues or stains. After scrubbing the capsules and drip tray then rinse them once more and let them completely dry before returning them to your machine.
After your machine has been cleaned, it is time to descale. You can follow the directions in your user manual to perform a specific procedure. If not, you can make an DIY descaling solution using citric acid or white vinegar. However, if you're using vinegar, be sure to make use of white vinegar instead of balsamic or apple vinegar as these are too aggressive for this purpose.
