Nespresso Lattissima Coffee Maker Review

The Lattissima is the next step in krups nespresso coffee machines’s one-touch brewing. It can make espressos and lungo coffee in a minute or less, and it accepts the company's wide selection of capsules.

The machine can also be programmed to make the exact amount of drinks you want. This is a great feature for busy households.

Simple to use

The basic black Nespresso machine is simple to use and maintain. It is simple and minimalist in design, with just one button on top that regulates everything from powering cleaning to making coffee. Simply take off the lid, insert the capsule and click to start making coffee. It is quick to heat and provides various drink options, including a double-shot espresso or a 5 8 or 18-ounce cup of coffee. It also comes with a steaming device to give a cafe-like feel to your drinks. We love the compact design and simple interface however, we noticed that the machine didn't produce as strong a cup of coffee or espresso as some models that are more expensive. It's also not as simple to recycle the capsules as other machines we've tested. This Nespresso was not the top choice in our test of side-by-side for these reasons.

Quick to make a cup of tea

The Nespresso machine can brew a cup of espresso within 15 seconds. The heated water from a reservoir enters a pump that is able to penetrate the tiny holes on the top of the pod. It is then mixed with the compacted ground coffee inside and drips into your cup. We tested the machine using Jones Brothers and Bestpresso capsules and it made an intense and delicious espresso with a slight nutty taste. We tried almond, whole and 2% milks, and all performed well.

Easy to clean

It is essential to clean a Nespresso machine regularly both inside and outside. This helps to keep it operating properly and ensures it's safe to use. It also makes the coffee you make taste better. It is possible to clean a nespresso machine inissia using a variety of cleaners which include vinegar. It's best to employ a descaling agent in place of vinegar, as it could damage the machine.

To clean your Nespresso, start by getting rid of all the pods, and then cleaning the drip tray and capsule container. Fill the sink with warm water and add a few drops dish soap. Let the drip tray and capsule container soak in soapy water for a few minutes to loosen the gunk and stain. Rinse them with hot water, then use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to scrub off any residues or stains. After scrubbing, rinse the drip tray and the capsule container once more and allow them to dry thoroughly before returning them to the machine.

After your machine has been cleaned, it is time to descale. You can follow the directions in your user manual to follow a particular procedure. In other cases, you can make a DIY descaling solution with citric acid or white vinegar. If you're using vinegar, be sure to use white vinegar, not balsamic or apple vinegar, because they're too abrasive for this task.
