Great video. I would just say that you should not put more water through pods than recommend because you will drag out burnt ,bitter flavours and ruin the taste. Use the smallest recommended water setting for the pod , Then add more hot water only or hot milk to required levels . If you prefer stonger coffee use a Lungo pod or use a second pod to increase strength,lets face it even 2 pods is still much cheaper compared to buying your coffee from a shop.
Alison, loved your review. We just bought this machine after Thanksgiving. Your tutorial is very helpful indeed. I was disappointed to see there was no regular or American choice available. We found this out after the fact. Any thoughts ? I tried running a dark roast on Lungo setting twice but the taste left a lot to be desired.
Hi! Thank you for the video! Can you update on whether you still like the machine? I’ve read that other people have issues with the milk frother wand not working after awhile so I’m wondering if you experienced any problems with it
Hi Stephanie, till this day I still love the machine and I use it every single day. I don't have issues with the milk frothed wand with this machine but I see it happens to alot of other nespresso machine. That is also why I decide dto go with this specific machine. Tho I make sure I wipe it down with wet cloth every time I finish using it and have it double rinse it (by using steam function). Once in awhile, it will get stuck on the steam wand bottom holes and machine will notify you to use the pin (underneath the water tank) to clean them. Also make sure to descale it once a month.
For the used pods to be recycled, do you clean them first or just put in storage as is? If as is, aren't they going to smell bad or grow mold after piling it up for quite some time? I always throw away the used pods, afraid they might become spoiled and smell bad.
Hi there, I sent my used capsule without cleaning them. As nespresso stated they will separate the coffee grounds from the aluminium capsule and transform the coffee grounds into green energy or nutrient-rich compost. Then, the empty capsules are heated to melt off the plastic coating and will recycle the pure aluminum that remains :)
Kamusta ka Alison 😁 Hey. I'm disabled. I lost the use of my left arm recently from failed shoulder surgery. What would you recommend for good coffee machine that can make good coffee. But also occasionally a special coffee? Easy to clean with one arm? I'm a paralegal student. Nice to meet you 😊 Much Respect from Portland Oregon USA from me and Lily 🐕
Since this is only my second coffee machine I’ve used. I can only refer to my previous experience from my Keurig coffee machine, in my opinion they are very easy to clean and less complicated compare to Nespresso machine. I hope this would help!
@@AlisonHadip Haha! I just get this notification when I'm making coffee. Thanks for the highlighted comment! Woot Woot 🎉 High five 🖐️I bought Oreo flavored creamer. Whipped cream. Two reusable Keurig coffee cups. I bought McCafe coffee and Cafe bustelo coffee. I use the Cafe bustelo for espresso shots. And the McCafe coffee for coffee. Mix them. Froth some half and half. Me and my chihuahua are having a coffee party over here 😁 (The coffee is so strong I'm sweating 👏) Love & Respect everybody!
Thank you so much for the review. Unlike other videos, you make me feel it’s very easy to make coffee in it. I already ordered and was looking for video of how to use it n all. Glad i found you. Cannot thank you enough
Just got this machine! Can you please tell me which flavour capsules you use? Its so hard picking the right ones. I usually have lattes and cappuccinos
You should not be pushing so much water through those nespresso capsules. They are meant to produce a 40ml espresso shot and by putting so much water through them you are ruining the coffee. If you want a bigger drink then use more capsules...
Alison Ha You’re not ruining the coffee. Some pods are meant for bigger water. Different people, different coffee making. Latte = espresso + milk , Americano espresso plus hot water , Lungo = longer extraction on one pod. Go online, they have different ounces like ristretro, espresso, lungo and americano. Nespresso sells LUNGO pods meant for lungos but it’s definately up to your tasting.
So there’s no setting available on this machine to make a regular full cup of black coffee? 8-12oz of just black coffee without any foam that I can add a splash of creamer to?
@@AlisonHadip but that's just an espresso run longer. You can then add more hot water to make an Americano, but that's not 'a regular cup of brewed black coffee'. :-)
Thanks for pointing it out! I like to fit a 8 oz cup on top tray to prevent the coffee from splashing while the machine is making the coffee. I've been doing this for a few months and I don't have issue the cup falling and waggling. 🤔

Thanks for the tips! I've changed my pods to recommended level and it does get a stronger coffee flavor with milk. Love it!
Where did you get your coffee mug? It’s beautiful!
I got it from urban outfitter long time ago. But you can find some similar one on amazon by searching “ knuckle mug”
Alison Ha thanks. Will check it out!
What is the difference between a long ristreto and a normal expresso? Are the two drinks made at a different temperature?
I’m a little confused with nespresso capsules. What kind of capsules will I need to make a latte or a cappuccino?
Hi Diana, for this machine I'm using their capsules called "original" which is a smaller size compared to the other kind.
Great video I’m ordering it love your knuckle mug too 😍😀
Trust me it’s the best purchase I’ve ever made 😉
Does the milk comes hot or cold
I’m so glad I came across your video!! I’m so excited to get my machine ☺️.
Aww thanks for watching! It’s definitely the best investment I’ve made ☺️

Great video. Where can i order the refillable capsules?
Thank you!!! I've only tried the refillable capsules from amazon, you can find it on my amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/alisonha
@@AlisonHadip cool thanks 😊 ☕️
yum

I’m glad this video helps you! Honestly, this has been my best purchase of last year! No regrets 😉 enjoy on your new coffee machine
Hello! I had another question - did you find your inner white drip tray to stain from coffee drips? That was my main worry about the white creatista.
yes i does stain a little but i also try to clean everytime after single use and put a tissue paper on the area that it drips.
Is the outside of the machine glossy white or matte white? It looks matte. Thank you.
Hi Ivan, the white part of the machine has that matte finish texture but it has a hint of glossy look.
Thank you so much… I watched your video right after my unboxing today …. 😃
Enjoy your new nespresso creatista, it was the best investment i've ever made :)
clear explanation thanks
Thanks for your review! It's very helpful. I've ordered the machine after I watched your video. I am so excited!! I can't wait. :)
Hope you enjoy it! Trust me the more you use it the more you'll love it! 🥰I never regret on this purchase!
after this clip , i have buy one with the name Alison Ha.
Great video thank you I bought this machine tonight.
i can't wait to have you try it in person, it is honestly the best purchase I've ever made and I still love it to this day 🙂
Thank you
Very helpful video
It really helped me a lot
♥️
I have the same coffee machine and my first coffee ☕️ was not hot or warm lol 😂
Glad it was helpful!
well done Alison - you made a very informative video
Cute you say: Risotto (ristretto), Expresso (espresso) and ) Laguno (lungo) 😁 Nonetheless usefull and nice video👍
Using a very small cup I was expecting a shot glass but it's a nice knuckle cup ✊🏻😎
How long have you had this machine for now and are you still totally happy with it? Have you had any issues?
I had it a little over a year now and still loving it and still get excited to make my cup of coffee to start my day with this machine! Worth it!!!!
Just got this machine! Can you please tell me which flavour capsules you use? Its so hard picking the right ones. I usually have lattes and cappuccinos
is the silver mug for milk included in the package?
yes it is included
I have the exact knuckle duster mug. Noice!
Best purchase ever 😚
Nice recommendation❣️❣️❣️
😘😘
BTW, good video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tips! I should try that next week to see the differences

great info !!!!!
Thanks for watching! :)
Is it heavy or light weight?
I would say its not heavy and easy to move around
How are you liking this machine still?
Still loving it and using it every single day 💜
Does this machine have Americano setting?
I believe it doesn't have Americano setting, it only comes with ristretto, espresso, lungo and macchiato setting on the machine
@@AlisonHadip thanks fir the info. Really appreciate it!
Beautiful video, I purchased this machine recently!
YAY! Trust me you'll love it more the more you use it 🤩
@@AlisonHadip I make lovely flat whites with mine. I use Starbucks Espresso Roast pods and oat batista milk- delicious; I often can't stop at 1 cup!!
May I ask do you speak spanish?
Sorry i don’t speak Spanish 😓 I only took 2 Spanish classes during my high school year lol
So there’s no setting available on this machine to make a regular full cup of black coffee? 8-12oz of just black coffee without any foam that I can add a splash of creamer to?
Yes you do! There is an espresso, lungo setting in the beginning. Those are the black coffee options!
Alison Ha yeah that’s the one I use but it’s still very little coffee. Guess I’m just used to the carafe 🤷🏻♀️
MeteoricMarlin the vertuo line by Nespresso makes “American” coffees as well as espressos so normal coffee sizes:)
@@AlisonHadip but that's just an espresso run longer. You can then add more hot water to make an Americano, but that's not 'a regular cup of brewed black coffee'. :-)
Your mug is too big for that slide out tray. The slide out tray was meant for very small espresso cups.
Thanks for pointing it out! I like to fit a 8 oz cup on top tray to prevent the coffee from splashing while the machine is making the coffee. I've been doing this for a few months and I don't have issue the cup falling and waggling. 🤔
Anyone noticed that the title of the video says Nespresso but the machine has the Breville name/logo? Good Lord!! 🤣
Some of the nespresso machine are made/collab with Breville
This is a Nespresso machine.
😐
Hi you kept saying saying milk jug but it’s a steam wand :) good review tho!
Yes! Thank you for correction !
