Cappuccino Showdown: Breville Barista Express vs. Breville Nespresso Creatista

This video shows a demonstration of 2 cappuccinos made with great machines: Breville Barista Express, which is a more manual machine and a Breville Nespresso Creatista, which a more automatic machine.
So the comparison is in 3 fold:
- overall machine and time to cappuccino
- cappuccino quality
- milk frothing

Exactly the review that I’m looking for

[@V99899]

Thanks for making this.

[@NickAlbano253]

Your shot on the Express seems really under-extracted, but if you’re happy with the taste, then there’s nothing to worry about, but if I were you, I would grind a tad finer next time.

[@eduardofontes6]

Yes, I had problems with the portafilter

[@fragranceandcooking]

Got the Creatista Pro but I have a standard basic 15 bar Delonghi manual espresso machine and I holding on to that one for sure ! ESE pods and manual grind for that one!

[@StevenSheeran]

So, What made the better coffee? Great to see them side by side. Thankyou.

[@karlagv1994]

You should’ve used a Nespresso pod. That might of made the difference in color and quality.

[@eduardofontes6]

I'll try and get another video, thanks

[@tomchilli4195]

Creatista every day of the week..
I've gone from auto to manual to the creatista, and it's just so fast and easy. Consistent taste with minimal mucking around.
Trick is finding a good pod and then you're set

[@Osully91]

So much more expensive than beans tho! Cost more to run overall.

[@Fishcracker23]

Make sure you pay attention to the pressure gauge sir, make sue it goes up to the espresso range, if it doesnt need to have one or all of the following: 1) finer grind, 2) more amount of actual grind, 3) tamp better.

[@jokkny]

Totally not the right grind setting / grind amount. Little to no pressure , would have been a bad tasting coffee.

[@Fah__Q]

I appreciated the side by side demo. I had the Express and it was such a p.i.t.a. that I returned it and I’m looking into getting the Creatista. The barista express you have to worry about beans, grind setting, machine temp, porta filter temp, tamp pressure 🙄. You could do everything correctly and still pull a bitter shot. Hardly seems worth it in my opinion. Anyway, thanks for the video!

[@Fah__Q]

@@anonymous00117 Ha! 🤡 out here talking like you know me 😂. I’m glad you like your machine 😘

[@louisfain]

i'm not gonna hate but I recommend you to look into how to pull a proper espresso shot and how to dial in a machine. it's very simple especially with a pressure gauge since it roughly equates to the shot time. if you have a Barista Express, it's definitely worth your time.

[@NickAlbano253]

I agree with all this just be careful in what kind of pressure you’re getting every shot because anything over 12 to 1 o’clock will be bitter.

[@eduardofontes6]

Thanks, had trouble with filters. Next one coming...

[@McCliffy]

Taste?

[@eduardofontes6]

It has been a couple of years since this video , I need to make another one

[@kaspermj]

Wow. That was massively underextracted. Du you really enjoy that taste 😕

[@eduardofontes6]

Not really, had some trouble with the filters

[@nancyguzman8756]

This was insane to watch lol

[@MrLotus0303]

how about the taste dude ? cant believe I watched this...

[@dexterkeano]

💯 🤣 the most important outcome!

[@davidmaslen6063]

A review which doesn’t encompass tasting the coffee seems a bit pointless.

[@eduardofontes6]

I'll make another one
