Wow this is the first video on UA-cam that has successfully made a beautiful latte art using the Creatista! I’ve had my machine for years and have never succeeded once! I’m gonna try your trick tomorrow ;)
Only after watching your video so many times that I noticed that you put a cup underneath the espresso dispenser. Little things like this makes me wish there is like a Creatista enthusiasts who can optimise the use of this awesome looking machine! So glad there is this channel at least!
This is the type of tutorial video I like watching and will save for future rewatch. No need for nonsense editing, long pointless explanations about the creatista machine or big production values. Just straight forward shows process and method of steaming milk with this machine with short simple text to explain.
Thanks for sharing the trick! Remove the tray! I’ve never had a thought about this! The angle if the steam wand has been bothering me for so long. One question, why you change the pitcher to do the art? Does it help?
Hi. I'm planing to buy this machine but read very bad feedbacks, especially about the milk frother. Do you have issues with this machine? Errors with pulling the tray out? Thanks.
I don't recommend taking the drip tray off, especially considering that the Creatista does an automatic steam purge if you nudge the wand or press finish. In my opinion, setting 4 with ample air injection (steaming the top of the milk at the point where it sounds like paper tearing) by tilting the jug will get you perfect milk without overthinking it. That being said, different methods work for different people and this method clearly works well for you.
hi Lewis. What temperature would you recommend if you’re using setting 4 and would you just leave the pitcher on the drip tray without manually “controlling” it? It’s never worked for me :( the consistency is very frothy and thick. Can’t pour latte art….
I had a sage paid same sticker roughly anyway I whonder if the pod system maybe easier for having it in your bedroom since I have a tasimo but cant Seem to get the better coffee pods for it the pods I had before tasted rather nice but cant find anymore unless I go on ebay I would like a latte machine that is more compact and pod system that still tastes better than instant Thats the problem with these pod machine they need to make more into a latte macjine I love my milky drinks also have a kettle for tea aswel as pot noodles
Quick Q, I have a creatista pro, and if I try to take the steel milk jug off the sensor the frothing process will stop. Any tips to avoid that problem? Also are you using full fat milk?
For a cappuccino I have to dirty 2 containers to pay at least 0.90 € (capsule + electricity + milk). Spend at least 5 minutes + time to clean and rinse. And finally I have to throw away the residual milk so as not to keep it for the next day. But isn’t it cheaper nice and relaxing to pick it up at the bar for € 1.40?
Setting 1??? I saw anothee vdo recomend setting 4. I found too much big bubbles. The heart is quite ok but i cannot do wiggle style. Mabe the pitcher also important. Next time i will try your trick.
Who cares drink your coffee I dont cafe I had a proper machine that used real beats problem was the grinder noises the steam noise not as bad but This is a very compact system I paid £500 for which was a waste I need something easier to use in তয়ে bedroom and pods being much easier tp buy aswel or maybe I should start buying pods online maybe try a vairety pack for lattes
@@jonathanoxlade4252 my challenge is to create a good latte art from this machine… that is what I care .. Instead of buying a proper one with steam wand and tradition coffee maker, Nespresso is still my better choice. Right now (after 6 month from my previous answer) I can make my perfect latte art by myself 😎. I am done.
@@minalina9476 First you have to know what is perfect froth milk. I took a few months to find the right consistency. Then practice practice practice and practice. Just don’t give up even you see a pile of milk bottles 🤣🤣
I used the Nespresso provided jug for steaming and I switched to the other jug with longer spout for easier latte art making. Banging the jug for bursting the bubbles.
@@Mariposa0963 Because I need to be able to lower the jug for manual air injection. I also need to tilt the jug in order to control the angle of the steam wand relative to the jug.
Ok why would you use your hand for temperature control when the machine already has a sensor underneath the milk jug. Also why would you use a dual action machine if you want to do the coffee first milk next. It does both simultaneously. You turned the fully automatic and super fast machine into a time consuming two, three, four steps coffee making! As if that time wasting any many steps was not enough you switch jugs. All you need is a primitive style coffee machine because you are not using the advantages of one button coffee machine!
The problem I have with this machine is the inconsistency of making frothed milk for latte art. That's why I need to hack it in order to have more control(steam wand angle, air injection time, temperature) hence the requirement to take out the drip tray.
If you work in specialty coffee, are a fan of a smooth microfoam, or just have a preference for how aerated your milk is, it is helpful to be able to control the steaming yourself. Everyone has different preferences! There are many advantages to this machine beyond simply the dual action feature. If you want a real steam wand at home without having to buy a full sized espresso machine, this is a great option. Good to hear you like their preset options though! If it made the perfect milk every single time with no need for variation, there would be no customization options for the steaming ;)

Me too. Failed every time I tired😅
How did you go with this tip? We just recently got one and I’m still trying everyday… some days are better than others haha … it’s so difficult!!!!
How long to add air

Wow I didn't know I could remove the drip tray while frothing milk! Thanks!
Yea! Just be careful and put a towel at the left bottom corner for absorbing water. Enjoy!
That's beautiful!!!
Awesome ^^ I just bought this machine and I will follow your steps to make a nice coffee with art ^^
Thank you for your informative video. Good looking latte heart!
Aww i didn’t expected 💗
Aaah love this I too personally prefer to be able to use the wand at an angle. Great tip thank you 👌👍
Great great video - with the singing in the 'background', ánd the latte art!
Finally i find your video. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the trick! Remove the tray! I’ve never had a thought about this! The angle if the steam wand has been bothering me for so long. One question, why you change the pitcher to do the art? Does it help?
new knowledge for me 😂 omg i'm nervous for trining tommorow
Awesome thanks
Literally what I went onto UA-cam for. Have the same machine and been wondering how to use the wand ‘properly’. Thank u!
Can you actually do it? :D
Hi. I'm planing to buy this machine but read very bad feedbacks, especially about the milk frother. Do you have issues with this machine? Errors with pulling the tray out? Thanks.
Thank you so much 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Wow that's a lot of first times I saw in your video. Sucks people didn't press the subscribe button. But thanks for posting anyways. Brilliant job
I don't recommend taking the drip tray off, especially considering that the Creatista does an automatic steam purge if you nudge the wand or press finish.

hi Lewis. What temperature would you recommend if you’re using setting 4 and would you just leave the pitcher on the drip tray without manually “controlling” it? It’s never worked for me :( the consistency is very frothy and thick. Can’t pour latte art….
What temperature and milk froth would you use for flat white
Can the machine help with how much of milk to use for milk drinks? I'm always having excess milk left. 😑
❤️❤️❤️
I saw some tootsie's in the background ? Who did those tootsies belong to ?
What is your setting for milk forth?
Does the setting matter if you do it manually?
I was using setting 1. But yes, the idea is to control manually the time of air injection yourself.
👀 omg 🤦♂️ I've been doing it sooo wrong. TY!
I had a sage paid same sticker roughly anyway I whonder if the pod system maybe easier for having it in your bedroom since I have a tasimo but cant Seem to get the better coffee pods for it the pods I had before tasted rather nice but cant find anymore unless I go on ebay

I had a lot of problems with leaking of the machine, especially when you're descaling.
Quick Q, I have a creatista pro, and if I try to take the steel milk jug off the sensor the frothing process will stop. Any tips to avoid that problem? Also are you using full fat milk?
Sorry I don't have a creatista pro so I don't know why. And yes, I was using full fat milk.
@@bwong769 thanks for reply
if you start frothing without touching the sensor to begin with, it will not stop untip you manually press the touch screen to stop
Have you tried using almond milk or whipping cream? if yes, any recommended setting?
No I haven’t. Sorry…
What pod do you use for your latte ? And is it just the one pod
I believe I was using one appregio pod
For a cappuccino I have to dirty 2 containers to pay at least 0.90 € (capsule + electricity + milk). Spend at least 5 minutes + time to clean and rinse. And finally I have to throw away the residual milk so as not to keep it for the next day.

Hi 👋🏻
What’s your pourcentage of your milk ? You need full fat or non fat milk? Thanks
Hi, I was using full fat milk. Cheers
Hi I would like to know what number of temperature of you are using to make the milk foam really good. Thank you for sharing your ideas
hi, "Milk Temp' = 'Ideal', Milk Froth = 'Setting 1'. Good luck!
are you using whole milk?
I was using whole milk.
Setting 1??? I saw anothee vdo recomend setting 4. I found too much big bubbles. The heart is quite ok but i cannot do wiggle style. Mabe the pitcher also important. Next time i will try your trick.

How u do your Latte Art? I cant do it…
@@minalina9476 First you have to know what is perfect froth milk. I took a few months to find the right consistency. Then practice practice practice and practice. Just don’t give up even you see a pile of milk bottles 🤣🤣
Why do you switch jugs? And why do you bang the jug on the table?
I used the Nespresso provided jug for steaming and I switched to the other jug with longer spout for easier latte art making. Banging the jug for bursting the bubbles.
@@bwong769 Thanks Mr Wong!
I hope the jug is warm when you switch milk will get cold
@@bwong769 Could you recommend another jug for latte art pouring? I just have the standard Nespresso one at the moment
Ok so you can froth your own milk without the auto feature!
Why do you remove the tray? It’s there for a reason
Now The jug cant make contact with the button
@@Mariposa0963 Because I need to be able to lower the jug for manual air injection. I also need to tilt the jug in order to control the angle of the steam wand relative to the jug.
@@bwong769 can you steam the milk with the wand in the fully out position?
Thats hopeless!!!!!
Ok why would you use your hand for temperature control when the machine already has a sensor underneath the milk jug. Also why would you use a dual action machine if you want to do the coffee first milk next. It does both simultaneously.

@@bwong769 no absolutely not it makes it just right! Something is not right with your machine or milk then
