Great comparison video! I purchased the Pro and my machine does not make espresso and heat / froth milk simultaneously. It does this in sequence (just like the Creatista plus). I did a little research and discovered the reason has to do with the different Voltage used in the US that limits this functionality. It’s not a dealbreaker but, I would be curious to hear if anyone else ran into this “issue” with the Creatista Pro?
Great comparison. We have the plus and it's great. I don't think the upgrade would be worth the extra cost for us. I quite like having to press for milk after the coffee has been dispensed.
i have the Plus. And i use the milk steam function to heat up water, u only need to do it 1.5X for the water to BOIL. (You do need lift the milk jug a bit so it doesn't touch the temperature sensor at the bottom so it doesn't stop the steam. Or u can just fold one sheet of paper towel to put it under the jug to block the contact like i do.)
Thank you so much for the comparison! You've convinced me that the Pro is the better option for us. I didn't use your link to buy because I don't live in Europe.
Crystal, Thank you very much for the comparison between the Nespresso Plus and the Pro. I have watched several videos about the different types of expresso machines and your video was much better than most of the others. We bought our Nespresso, Creatista Pro on Amazon for $637.46. Ordered it on November 27, 2023, and it was delivered three days later on November 30th. We have been experimenting with it for a few days now and like it very much! However, I’m still not sure how to list my own drink in the menu. I know you said that you go to settings, but when I did, I still couldn’t figure it out, I will give it another try. It would have been helpful if you had gone through the process of how to name your own drinks. Updated 4-5-24; Also, You mentioned that the Pro heats both the water and the milk at the same time. Thay may be true in the United Kingdom, but not in the United States. I think that since we only have a 120-volt system in America it can't handle heating both sides at the same time, so it just does one side of a time. Just as a suggestion you might consider doing a Descaler video. Thanks for making such a great video!
To me it's a bit misleading to wait so long to finish the drink on the Plus. They both finished the shot at the same time, so what stopped you from pressing the button on the top to start the milk?
My thoughts exactly. The plus says "start milk" or something like that in the display. It would have given a much more useful idea of the difference between the two machines.
I saw that for two capsules for the latte, once the first capsule of coffee is dispensed, one the top lever to drop the capsule and add a new one… during this process, the milk does not heat and froth until the second capsule off coffee is added to the latte?
Fantastic comparison! I’m definitely leaning towards the pro version now! Is there a huge difference in electricity requirements? The fact it has a separate water dispenser is a really nice feature to me! My mother always makes hot chocolate mixes for the winter season and I can see using the hot water all the time!
Good review, but the difference in time saved by brewing coffee and steaming milk at the same time is minimal. The milk takes 1 to 1.5 minutes to steam anyway, so all you're saving is the 15 seconds or so needed to brew separately with the Plus.
Thank you. Just ordered a brand new pro for £429 - it looks like I made the right decision. Coming from a Latissima touch which after about 15,000 capsules (no exaggeration) over 4 years is starting to struggle a bit. Hope the Sage is just as dependable!
My wife bought me the plus from John Lewis for £319 ( stainless steel) and absolutely love such a consistent coffee not had a bad one yet, I had a dualit coffee machine before but such a pain cleaning it afterwards I.e discarding coffee grinds and cleaning the milk wand , this machine as made it so much easier to do , faster then boiling the kettle and making an instant rancid coffee, the pro looks good but to me personally not worth the extra cost
Planning with Crystal to be fair I like anything from 9-13 range all good for cappacino and latte and 4range for espresso, I seem to enjoy ispirazione Italians and Kazaa , only had it since 10th of April really missed coffee shop coffee so my wife thought it would make a great present and she wasn’t wrong , I just wished I bought a nespresso machine before buying the the dualit don’t get me wrong the dualit was well made and looked good but just doesn’t touch this machine in ease of use and taste. I did enjoy illy coffee but found out you can now buy them as a nespresso pod so might give them a try
Great comparison Crystal! Both, Plus and Pro do the same milk foam quality/consistency? Some people dislike them because at the end the milk and water are too much. Both can be customized to adjust coffee volume? Tks.
I’ve been trying to decide which one to buy and I do like the pro model better even though it’s much more expensive. I really like the fact that it froths milk at the same time. I want the hot water dispenser as well as I’m the type of person who would add that to my coffee and the pro has that option. I really like the screen on top which is a touch screen. I’m going to buy the pro model as it’s currently on sale for 30 % off the retail. Thanks for the comparison video.
Great demonstration of the differences between the Pro and the Plus. One thing that may add to the advantage of the Pro is in making an Americano. I have been taught by my Italian friend that an Americano is made by pouring an Espresso into a cup of hot water. Thus the separate hot water dispenser is a plus.
Great video and review, it allowed me to finally make a clear decision on which machine to purchase, being the only coffee drinker in my house the Plus will be perfect for me!! Thank you!!
Very helpful video , thank you so much , i want to ask about the “milk frothing only “ option in both , and i have a question about the milk steamer if there is an option to open and close it manually to clean it from any milk residue
Hi Crystal, great review. I have both machines at the moment. Cannot get the pro to froth milk to a more dense consistency, it is always very airy any suggestions ? THANK YOU. Irene
What is the milk capacity? When you say it can make milk for two coffees at once, are they only small coffees? Do you need to wash the milk jug if you need to use it again straight after to make more milk? Thanks
The max level of the milk jug marking is 250ml, this then froths up to 350ml-450ml volume - dependant on the setting you use. I find this enough for 2 decent size coffees. You don't need to wash the jug if you are going to use it immediately after. Hope that helps
I like the plus . I like tea made from kettle because I boil ginger smashed . Cloves .. or cardamon ..or mix some fresh herbs ... sage kettles are see through and looks nice.... when I get cold and cough these herbs help me instead of antibiotic .... there fore I would buy kettle and coffee maker .
The pro can do coffee and milk at the same time because it has two separate heating elements, while plus only uses one heating element to do both. The temperature required to froth milk is much higher than the temperature to brew coffee. So on plus the heating element constantly switches between two temperatures, even more so if you are making multiple drinks one by one. This leads to some potential downsides: 1. The temperature is not as consistent compared to pro; 2. (I suspect) reduce the lifespan of the heating element. Dead milk wand on the plus is a very common issue based on google reviews, you hardly find any complaints of the same issue on the pro.
Thank you for comparing Sage Creatista Plus and Pro. Good video. Only thing not mentioned, was how to clean parts. Still.... think we go and have a look for the Pro. Some reviews mention that the milk froth isn't good and temperature of the coffee low. What are your experiences with that? Regards, Léon - Leiden. Netherlands.
Very helpful video, Thank You! unfortunately our vertuo next broke after a little over 2 years of usage so looking to upgrade. Here in Canada the difference about 500 CAD to the pro. The convenience it offers isn't enough value for that so I think we will go with the plus!
Great comparison. Thank you. I have the plus and there is always room for improvement! Automation is the name of the game. The touch screen on the pro is nice too. You payz your price. The plus is a great machine if you are not in a hurry! Many thanks again.
Thanks for your great video .I like pro but I like white color which is only available in plus model.now can't decide go to pro or plus in white as I feel the steel finish is hard to keep clean :(

How loud is the Pro version vs the Plus version. Is one louder than other or are they both very loud? I wake up early and have house full of kids and old folks sleeping in most mornings.
We’ve had the Nespresso Creatista Plus for a few years and love it. Lately though, we’ve been getting the “clean the nozzle” message a lot, even though it’s been cleaned. Anyone else having this problem?
wow! absolutely awesome brilliant amazing video. thank you so much for taking the time to make it. goes into great detail and very thorough. extremely helpful. thank you... ps I love your nails... what colour is that?
Excellent comparison, thank you so much! Your Plus machine looks like brand-new! Please share what cloth/liquid you use to keep them in this wonderful condition 🙏 Thank you!
Hi. Just bought a Creatista Plus, and while i was trying to learn a bit more about it, found your video. Good video btw. I have a question, my machine is making coffee with way less "cream" than all my previous Nespresso machines. Is it because is brand new or is this something i will have to talk to Nespresso about because my machine could be at fault? Thanks.
Is creatista pro better than latissimo pro . As I have been wanting to have either one in pro. But I dislike the latissimo due to milk container need to be clean in term of spouts etc
Hi! I have got the cheaper one as J520. The espresso mode is slighty mild neither cold nor warm. Is it normal? If I prepare a coffee without milk I would like to have it warm. Does it have an option for making a hot espresso in this machine?
Hi, great video. Is there any way I could make the Lungo coffee a longer cup? I like a mug of coffee, without a lot of milk, but don't want to also put the kettle on, when I have a nice coffee machine. Many thanks.
You don't have to wait at all. That's the only thing I didn't like about the review. You can't actually tell how much time is saved and it makes it seem like the Plus takes a really long time to make a drink. I wish she would have pressed the start button immediately for a better comparison.
@@JessieBanana she waited an unnecessary amount of time to start the milk but you do have to wait until the coffee finishes brewing on the plus before you can start the milk. The plus isn't capable of doing both at the same time.
@@DorisR184 I know, I have the plus. You have to wait, but the entire process only takes a couple minutes. The espresso brews in like a matter of 30 seconds.
I’m looking to get one of the two but still struggling to decide even after watching the video. I drink a lot of double espresso and flat white so tempted to get the pro but I’m not sure if it’s worth it
Thanks for the reviews part 1 and part 2 and the tea part. The pro is a really nice but i bought the Plus model today, mainly because of the price differences and the pro is not available here at this moment. The major difference that i wish the plus had is the option to add your own drink to it.
Planning with Crystal Thanks, well we have it several day’s now and received about all the flavors from Nespresso just so we know what we like. Great machine, makes hot coffee and using whole milk or soya milk will create nice milk texture and foam. Thx for the reviews, we really like it so far, it makes a great tasting coffee without all the work.
Is the creatista type easily maintain and durable . As They did sale the creatista pro in asia I am thinking to get them from Other countries but if anything happen the asia customer service unable to repair them since they did not carry them
Thanks for the review.Can i use milk frother twice to heat milk better or can not because of the temperature sensor?Because we(Turkish people) prefer the drinks very hot and the temperature is very important for me.
Hi Crystal, how hotis a finished drink when selecting the hottest milk temperature please? I find with the vertuo machines my finished drink is just not that hot. Thanks
Thank you for the great comparison I got the Pro - cause I did not pay for it… Nespresso has the 1€ offer with a coffee/ accessories subscription for 12 month but I would also only choose it! Why the pro: - water out for getting a „Long Black“, Americano or heating the cup - milk and Coffee simultanious - the touch screen Not important - 2l water tank - 18 capsule container The bad - bigger size - still no easy automatic perfect milk foam (on both).
Thanks for the video but I have a question about the dimensions. You can only just find that the depth of the pro is 43cm. How do you measure this? Is the little thingy at the top of the water tank included? What's the depth from the front of the footprint to the back? I want to put it on a casule holder that is 40.5cm deep. Thanks!
So, so, so helpful! Thank you so much Crystal! After 7 1/2 years using my old Nespresso DeLonghi, it broke down, which brings me to your vid. This video was so helpful in letting me know that the Nespresso Creatista Pro is a better fit for me than the Plus. Thank you again!
I like the feature on the pro allowing to do both things at once but aesthetically I like the look of the plus better, it’s cleaner looking. I got the plus. Thanks for the great information.
Fantastic review 😊 my question being how long does it roughly take to put a new pod into the chamber is it instant when opening the chamber? On older models when you lift the chamber lid up it automatically drops this into the tray. On a newer model it will dispense the used pod into the tray before letting you open the chamber.

I read this online from others as well. It’s non US Feature only
@@Mr.MasterOfMindthat’s going to get them Americans triggered
Makes sense. Kettles (if you can find one) are much slower in the US for the same reason
Great comparison. We have the plus and it's great. I don't think the upgrade would be worth the extra cost for us. I quite like having to press for milk after the coffee has been dispensed.
great video but one can start doing the milk with the plus a lot earlier, so the waiting time is not THAT long...
I thought that, there would probably only be 20-30 seconds difference.

Great video love the pro but ordered the plus the difference in New Zealand is around $400 bucks which is quite substantial.
The plus is a great machine, I hope you enjoy using it :)
I think this was the best comparison video I have ever seen. Very informative and exactly what I was looking for - 10/10
Thank you. Just ordered a brand new pro for £429 - it looks like I made the right decision. Coming from a Latissima touch which after about 15,000 capsules (no exaggeration) over 4 years is starting to struggle a bit. Hope the Sage is just as dependable!
Can you froth other types of milk? like almond ?
Very good no nonsense review, and devoid, thankfully, of any irritating music track. Well done.

Where ??
Hi crystal!! Enjoyed the video ,but what about the scaling,or the decaying?? Will be getting the pro!!
Another consideration is the base of the Pro is wider so a mug can easily rest with the milk jug alongside
❤❤❤❤❤ hi! Does the pro have the ice coffee setting?
Can you make cold foam in addition to warm/hot foam?
Thank you so much for making this! I've been debating coffee machines for a week and this really helped.
I'm so pleased, thank you for watching 😀
Great demonstration of the differences between the Pro and the Plus. One thing that may add to the advantage of the Pro is in making an Americano. I have been taught by my Italian friend that an Americano is made by pouring an Espresso into a cup of hot water. Thus the separate hot water dispenser is a plus.
That’s usually called a long black, with americano you pour water into the coffee.😊
It was a perfect explenation and i thank you for that. Jus may i would like to know, how is thier fuction to produce big milk foam ( like bar) ?
That was Chrystal Clear. Thank you so much!
Great video and review, it allowed me to finally make a clear decision on which machine to purchase, being the only coffee drinker in my house the Plus will be perfect for me!! Thank you!!

I had problems wit the plus, especially when you were descaling, in the end there was water in the waste bin.
Can you use the milk frother without making coffee?
Can you use the milk steamer manually to hold the jug whilst heating at an angle to maximise the milk crème
I like the plus . I like tea made from kettle because I boil ginger smashed . Cloves .. or cardamon ..or mix some fresh herbs ... sage kettles are see through and looks nice.... when I get cold and cough these herbs help me instead of antibiotic .... there fore I would buy kettle and coffee maker .

Very helpful video, Thank You! unfortunately our vertuo next broke after a little over 2 years of usage so looking to upgrade. Here in Canada the difference about 500 CAD to the pro. The convenience it offers isn't enough value for that so I think we will go with the plus!
Bonjour, je vous remercie pour ce comparatif précis qui m'aide à faire mon choix de cafetière
Great comparison. Thank you. I have the plus and there is always room for improvement! Automation is the name of the game. The touch screen on the pro is nice too. You payz your price. The plus is a great machine if you are not in a hurry! Many thanks again.
is there enough consistency to do latte art?
Hi, thank you so much for this helpfull video. Do you know if it's possible to froth cold milk for a iced cappuccino with the Creatista Plus?
I have an issue with the hotness of the breville machines. And they recommended these - is it hotter?
The only thing to consider is the price. They are essentially “slightly” the same exact thing for a big price difference.
Plus gets it done.
Thanks for your great video .I like pro but I like white color which is only available in plus model.now can't decide go to pro or plus in white as I feel the steel finish is hard to keep clean :(
Thank you for watching, I don’t find the Steel finish too difficult to keep clean, though it would be nice if they offered more color options!
the same ！Feel hesitant for 2weeks now
When is the pro coming to the US???
I have been searching for the Pro! Is it not available in the US 😱
Older comment but it's available from the Nespresso website.
I just bought pro today!!

Hi
Great video!
Could you tell me how tall a cup you could get under the spout of the pro model, I’m thinking travel cup here.
Thank you in advance
How loud is the Pro version vs the Plus version. Is one louder than other or are they both very loud? I wake up early and have house full of kids and old folks sleeping in most mornings.
We’ve had the Nespresso Creatista Plus for a few years and love it. Lately though, we’ve been getting the “clean the nozzle” message a lot, even though it’s been cleaned.
Anyone else having this problem?
This is most likely a sensor issue I think. It is probably reading as needing cleaning when in fact you have already cleaned it.
Does the Pro heat the milk and coffee at the the same time for US units? I keep reading no, or its ambiguous. Thanks!
Excellent comparison; very thorough. Many thanks.
wow! absolutely awesome brilliant amazing video. thank you so much for taking the time to make it. goes into great detail and very thorough. extremely helpful. thank you... ps I love your nails... what colour is that?
I would have loved to see if there is any difference about temperature 🌡
So would I.

Thank you for the great video! I got the PLUS two days ago and I am still experimenting with it.
Thank you, hope you're enjoying your new machine
Hi I want your experience with the coffee machine is it better than the pro or in general it works fine?
Would you recommend the plus or not after having it for a few months?
Thank you so much for the Video!!
Love your accented!!! We just got the plus and will keep it for now. Aloha from Maui Hawaii!!🌸🌸
Thank you & enjoy your machine & beautiful Maui ♥️
Thank you for this great, informative video. :)
I agree with needing to change the water tank if you dont use it alot.I found mold in mine once
Can you do the milk only with the plus ?
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make the comparison, this will really help!
Thank you, I'm glad it helped 😀
Thanks for your review! I wonder if you could add coffee drinks like a cortado to the menu on the Pro?
why wait until pro finish then press the milk button on plus ? Looks plus is much slower, but just realized because the button is not pressed....

Can you use reususable pods with these machines?
Is creatista pro better than latissimo pro . As I have been wanting to have either one in pro. But I dislike the latissimo due to milk container need to be clean in term of spouts etc
Thanks Crystal. Last night I ordered the Pro to replace my broken Maestria.
TY...going with the Plus

Yes absolutely, the Pro has the option for a 'long black' which is espresso with extra water. There is also a button to just dispense hot water.
How long do you have to wait on the plus before you can start the milk? Seemed like you waited quite awhile
You just have to wait for the coffee to finish dispensing and then press the button for the milk.

Thanks for the reviews part 1 and part 2 and the tea part. The pro is a really nice but i bought the Plus model today, mainly because of the price differences and the pro is not available here at this moment. The major difference that i wish the plus had is the option to add your own drink to it.
The plus is a great machine, I hope you enjoy using it :)
Planning with Crystal Thanks, well we have it several day’s now and received about all the flavors from Nespresso just so we know what we like. Great machine, makes hot coffee and using whole milk or soya milk will create nice milk texture and foam. Thx for the reviews, we really like it so far, it makes a great tasting coffee without all the work.
Is the creatista type easily maintain and durable . As They did sale the creatista pro in asia I am thinking to get them from Other countries but if anything happen the asia customer service unable to repair them since they did not carry them
Thanks for the review.Can i use milk frother twice to heat milk better or can not because of the temperature sensor?Because we(Turkish people) prefer the drinks very hot and the temperature is very important for me.
Hi Crystal, how hotis a finished drink when selecting the hottest milk temperature please? I find with the vertuo machines my finished drink is just not that hot. Thanks
How many ounces of milk can the jug hold at “max” fill line?
Thank you for the great comparison
I got the Pro - cause I did not pay for it…
Nespresso has the 1€ offer with a coffee/ accessories subscription for 12 month
but I would also only choose it!
Why the pro:
- water out for getting a „Long Black“, Americano or heating the cup
- milk and Coffee simultanious
- the touch screen
Not important
- 2l water tank
- 18 capsule container
The bad
- bigger size
- still no easy automatic perfect milk foam (on both).
Thanks for the video comparison, which parts are made of plastics and metal ?
Thanks for the video but I have a question about the dimensions. You can only just find that the depth of the pro is 43cm. How do you measure this? Is the little thingy at the top of the water tank included? What's the depth from the front of the footprint to the back? I want to put it on a casule holder that is 40.5cm deep. Thanks!
I’ve just bought the pro. Can’t wait to receive it
It's great, I hope it arrives soon
Where did you buy it? Link please.
Planning with Crystal I love it. Looks nice and it makes a good quick coffee. Prefer the oracle touch though.
I gave you a thumbs up, thank you for all the details you provided. I ended up buying the Pro version all thanks to your detailed video
Thank you and I'm glad you found it useful
great review thanks it helped me decide which one to buy
How can you clear a recipe you have stored in the Creatista Pro when you no longer want to store it?
I wish they made the pro in Vertuo. I have the Plus. I just want 20 grams of coffee vs 5 or so in the original line capsules.
So, so, so helpful! Thank you so much Crystal! After 7 1/2 years using my old Nespresso DeLonghi, it broke down, which brings me to your vid. This video was so helpful in letting me know that the Nespresso Creatista Pro is a better fit for me than the Plus. Thank you again!
had my pixie for 11 years without problems, but I'm a bit tempted to get the Creatista
Great video, did you have any issues with the steam wand in the plus?
Thank you, I have not experienced any issues with my steam wand.
Never, any issues. Just clean regularly
Me neither, no issues and I've had mine for over a year.
It would be cool if u could test the coffee pod brands for taste and color? Great video, fingers crossed we can get the pro :)
I like the feature on the pro allowing to do both things at once but aesthetically I like the look of the plus better, it’s cleaner looking. I got the plus. Thanks for the great information.
Fantastic review 😊 my question being how long does it roughly take to put a new pod into the chamber is it instant when opening the chamber? On older models when you lift the chamber lid up it automatically drops this into the tray. On a newer model it will dispense the used pod into the tray before letting you open the chamber.
When I lift the chamber lid up, it drops the pod into the capsule container
@@PlanningwithCrystal thank you so much.
Hi Crystal, does the frother have a cold foam setting?
No, for that you need a frother, not a steamer wand.
Great video thank you. It was a great comparison. I'm looking to upgrade from the latissima touch and I think the pro is the way to go.
Great vid thanks, do these machines take chocolate pods? I don't drink coffee but want a good hot chocolate maker and milk brother. Thanks.
Can you use a tall cup? Does the little cup stand either go lower or come off?
You can push the cup stand in to put a larger cup there. I do it when I want use a larger cup/a travel mug.
