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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?

i know im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Abraham Marvin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
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!
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 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
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.
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 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.
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).
The biggest difference between the two are the pro has two boilers hence the ability to do coffee and milk simultaneously whereas the plus is a single boiler, and must do coffee and milk one at a time. Your paying for this nice convenience, however the heat up time for the plus is fast for a single boiler.
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 .
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
The pro is deffo the winner! Not by much but the extra choices and being a mum having it do the coffee and milk at the same time saves so much time! I will be getting this for sure thank you for the review x
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
Great review! I was about to buy the Plus, but thanks to your video, I realized about the new model... which is not yet available in Canada :( I will definitely wait. 👍
I love the Creatista Pro with all its extra features but, I find that the froth on the Creatista Plus is so much better. What or your thought on that??? Also, ur video’s are great!
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.
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 :(
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.
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.
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
Great review thank You! Mad my descision a lot easier. You mentioned that you can personolize your ‘Chrysal Coffee’. Can you Please explain how that works? Thank you very much. Kitty
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!
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.
Thanks for saving me money! I love the touch screen on the PRO but that's the only thing I prefer over the PLUS, so that alone is not worth the extra cash.
Thanks for the detailed video - I'm just trying to decide whether I want to upgrade from my Plus to a Pro and this video laid it all out nicely. Also, EPCOT fan?
Great video and has really helped. Didn’t think there was a huge difference between the two but still leaning towards to the pro just for the personalised coffee and touch screen. What’s cleaning like?
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. Cleaning is pretty similar to the cleaning process for the plus. It has step by step instructions for daily cleaning as well as emptying the machine when it will not be used for a while and the descaling process.
Just an FYI , you can personalize the drinks in the plus. You just don't get to give them cute names. You would basically change the pre-set settings for the drinks that already exist. I don't think you can add more drinks though.

you could have started the milk a lot quicker on the plus machine, I have one, And its fantastic.

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) ?
Can you make cold foam in addition to warm/hot foam?

@@PlanningwithCrystal amazing, thanks for your help
Another consideration is the base of the Pro is wider so a mug can easily rest with the milk jug alongside
Can you use fresh grounds or only capsules?
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.
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!
I have an issue with the hotness of the breville machines. And they recommended these - is it hotter?
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!
TY...going with the Plus
This helped address a lot of questions. I'm going with the pro. Thanks!
Excellent comparison; very thorough. Many thanks.

I'm so pleased, thank you for watching 😀
Thanks for your review! I wonder if you could add coffee drinks like a cortado to the menu on the Pro?
Does the Pro heat the milk and coffee at the the same time for US units? I keep reading no, or its ambiguous. Thanks!
Hi, I’m interest in buying the Pro, but here in USA they only sell the plus. Can you help me where can I buy the pro? Thanks
had my pixie for 11 years without problems, but I'm a bit tempted to get the Creatista
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.
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.
¡Amazing! Thank you for sharing... The extra hot water by-passing the capsule its absolutely the difference!!!
Thanks for the video comparison, which parts are made of plastics and metal ?
That was Chrystal Clear. Thank you so much!
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 ♥️
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
Great comparison review between the two!
Excellent thorough comparison.
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?
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.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make the comparison, this will really help!
Thank you, I'm glad it helped 😀
Can you use reususable pods with these machines?
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.
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.
Great review! I was about to buy the Plus, but thanks to your video, I realized about the new model... which is not yet available in Canada :( I will definitely wait. 👍
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful. Fingers crossed that it will be available in Canada soon 🤞
You can get it in Canada here: www.williams-sonoma.ca/nespresso-creatista-pro-by-breville
I love the Creatista Pro with all its extra features but, I find that the froth on the Creatista Plus is so much better. What or your thought on that??? Also, ur video’s are great!
Thanks Joanna, I'm pretty happy with the pros froth now I've played around with it more.
Can you do the milk only with the plus ?
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.
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.
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.

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
Hi Crystal, does the frother have a cold foam setting?
No, for that you need a frother, not a steamer wand.
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
If you want to make an americano on the plus machine you can also steam water.
great review thanks it helped me decide which one to buy
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?
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.
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.
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.
Thanks Crystal. Last night I ordered the Pro to replace my broken Maestria.
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
Hi Crystal
How did you set the pro to create your own drink?
One of the best reviews ever my dear , was very helpful , thaaaaank uuu soooo muchhh 🥰😍😍🥰👍👌👌👌🙏
Ur friend from Egypt 🌹☕🙏❤🎀🇪🇬
Excellent comparative review! Exactly what I was after.
Great review thank You! Mad my descision a lot easier. You mentioned that you can personolize your ‘Chrysal Coffee’. Can you Please explain how that works? Thank you very much. Kitty
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!
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!!
@@LourdesInsua yes he is available actually today Thursday I purchased one already
Thank you for this great, informative video. :)
Can you use the milk steamer manually to hold the jug whilst heating at an angle to maximise the milk crème
Such a great review!! Very informative thank you!!!
I agree with needing to change the water tank if you dont use it alot.I found mold in mine once
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
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.
Thanks for saving me money! I love the touch screen on the PRO but that's the only thing I prefer over the PLUS, so that alone is not worth the extra cash.
I'm glad it was helpful for you :)
Thanks for the detailed video - I'm just trying to decide whether I want to upgrade from my Plus to a Pro and this video laid it all out nicely.
Also, EPCOT fan?
I'm a huge EPCOT fan 😉
Great video and has really helped. Didn’t think there was a huge difference between the two but still leaning towards to the pro just for the personalised coffee and touch screen. What’s cleaning like?
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful.
Cleaning is pretty similar to the cleaning process for the plus. It has step by step instructions for daily cleaning as well as emptying the machine when it will not be used for a while and the descaling process.
Just an FYI , you can personalize the drinks in the plus. You just don't get to give them cute names. You would basically change the pre-set settings for the drinks that already exist. I don't think you can add more drinks though.
Such a great review and comparison. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
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 :)
