I’ve used a nespresso machine now for 18 years. Started with one of the OG magimix machines, which is still going strong (my mum has it now), and about 7 years ago moved to a creatista plus. I know the body, texture and taste aren’t as good as an expensive espresso machine would make, but I have no

I LOVE my Nespresso Creatista and it has been one of my best purchases. I was almost buying a "real" espresso machine but felt that at this point in my life I wouldn't use it as much bc I need ease and speed. I am saving the cumbersome espresso machine for when life is less busy/kids get bigger and

Idk if it’s different with Vertuo, but this issue isn’t the foil side of the refillable capsules. For OL, there are three needles that puncture the other side of the capsule. Refillable ones are solid metal on that side, which damages the needles. I just bought two used OL Creatistas because the fir

I worked at Starbucks for a long time. Get a nespresso from the OL line to get really good espresso shots. In your main cup or shaker add milk, ice, any flavor then pour the shots over top, shake and serve! Since you want ices you don’t need one with a steam wand so I’d probably go with the citiz -

Hey I worked the phone lines in the UK, here’s the best advise I can give you: Try doing a factory reset of the machine (unlock machine head, push the head down, with it unlocked press brew button 5 times within 3 seconds. The light should flash orange 5 times then return to a steady white. If the l

I love my KitchenAid stand mixer, and I like kitchenaid products. But while the KitchenAid Nespresso machine looks great it looks too much like my stand mixer. But I will say this the build quality appears to be a lot better than what Nespresso puts out. I hate that Nespresso puts out these plastic

Nespresso does make a professional line of machines for corporate/business use. But it wouldn't make sense for a small office space. The professional line's largest coffee volume is 9oz Nespresso Vertuo line doesn't make a 16oz cup of coffee. They only have one pod that can brew 18oz and that's for

I’m an OL Creatista Plus owner almost since introduction. I’ve thought about switching to either a (1) super automatic or (2) semi automatic espresso machine and grinder. Option 2 is as much a hobby as it a coffee preparation method and I’m just not ready for that level of effort for my 1-2 milk dri

Agree with your post. I was ALMOST swayed into buying a automatic espresso machine but then thought about the reality of my life, how busy I am right now and it would ultimately stress me out in the am if it didnt come out right. I got a Nespresso creatista during the Amazon Christmas in July sale a

The question is do you want foamy milk drinks? If so then the built in steamer wand of the Creatista is great. If not, then go for whatever your budget/space constraints/aesthetics desire. All the vertuo machines make the exact same coffee. The $99 Pop makes the same coffee as the $500 Creatista. Th
