I got the lattissima one yesterday for Christmas and am experiencing all the issues you've described. Extremely disappointed. Will be sending mine back. Wish I'd seen this review earlier.
Bought this as my first pod machine. First time used it the milk didn't pour but watched your review and realised thst i had attached the black connector at the back of the milk jug durectly to the machine and then i attached the milk jug to it, rather attaching it to the milk jug first then attaching the entire thing to the machine. Rookie mistake! No issues with a messy pour but my latte glass wasn't as tall as yours and the milk poured at a lower angle as well. Yes it does drip but once you know that you can move the cup away in time to keep the froth clean looking. Found the manual a bit tricky but did find that it said you can do more than one cup before cleaning as long as not too long between makes. Your review was very helpful but its only coffee for me so I'm fairly satisfied with this model for a first machine. Thanks!
I got mine delivered last week, and I love it. No problems whatsoever, although they suggest using cows milk, I'm using oat milk and it makes a lovely cappuccino.
That little thing which clips to the base is probably the most useful thing on that machine to extract a plain expresso. To put an expresso cup on the baseplate will give you a cold shot as the liquid would have had to travel a much longer distance. That square piece on which a tipycal expresso cup would rest would give you an optimum shot of expresso.
The platform with a little hole in the top is there to mount your cup on when dispensing the coffee. When you do this it won’t splash all over the place. I laughed when I saw you had a cup on the bottom and thought, of course it’s going to splash! Your review was a bit unfair in that regard.
Hey. Could you please tell me , if I pour water in a milk frother machine, will it work??? Is there any sensor for milk which blinks that frother light???
I have the same coffee machine! It worked perfectly from the start, but then one time I used milk that was at room temperature and it did exactly what yours did! Since then I make sure the milk is chilled and haven't had any problem since!
Just to let you know. I bought the machine yesterday. Mine doesn't splatter milk and looks messy like that. Furthermore, I prefer the lattissima because it is an all-in-one machine and cleaning is not a big fuzz. You can pour some hot water into a jug and disassemble the milk frother and rinse it like that. Usually takes me 30 seconds. My milk frother's outlet pipe is also positioned on the corner. The presentation is so nice with the cup of coffee that I feel sad to stir it everytime. So I guess the 2022 model is a much better range.
Thanks for the review. We too went from the citiz machine, to these a while ago now, and have had none of those issues. The steam from the milk frothed is to be expected as it’s steamed milk. Easy to rinse all of the parts, and all the milk frothed parts go in the dishwasher, which I love. Yes the water tank is smaller, but I’m not drinking that much coffee in 1 day for it to be an issue. So I recommend it.
Very informative review, I appreciate that. I wonder if your old coffee machine’s milk frother got burned? I had one of the oldest first nespresso machine that had that problem and it was hard for me to clean every time
Thanks for review, was just about to purchase this on a Black Friday weekend deal, decided to check UA-cam and your review just saved me money. Not going to buy this one.
Thanks for the review. We almost got this one because I really liked the color (big fan of white!) but your review was very thorough and you stated points that I never would have thought about. Thanks again! - from someone who has never owned a nespresso machine before! :)
My loyal Citiz (of at least 6 years!) has just started to leak. I've opened it all up and replaced the o-ring but it still won't work properly. So now I'm sadly looking for a new one in case I can't get it fixed. Thanks for your video, I don't think this machine is the one for me!
Im a bit late in commenting, but you can call Nespresso and tell them the issue with your machine. Per policy, they have to trouble shoot with you over the phone, but once them determine its not functional, they'll offer an "out of warrant discount" toward a new machine! You can have a 10 year old machine you bought from amazon and they'll still give you the discount 😉
OMG. I was really thinking about buying the latissima one, as it is so sleek and I thought it would do the job correctly. I'm glad you opened my eyes, you saved me quite a few bucks 😀
I have bought the Lattissima One a week ago. The milk frother was not working at all from the very beginning. As I was having problems with it, I checked the customer reviews and found a bunch of people who had the same issues as I did. So I packed the machine and sent it back. I do not recommend Lattissima One at all. I was (and still am) very disappointed!
Hi there, I just got this machine yesterday (it was between this and the expert) with the nespresso subscription, and I think either there is something wrong with your milk component or the machine was revised or something. The stream of milk that came out of mine (tried 3 times already, always consistent) is steady and the cup was totally emptied everytime, I used skim milk btw. Actually really liked the machine, preffer the black one that I got tho
@@TruthReviews I read a review that there is very mixed results from brand to brand and even from type of milk inside each brand. As you can see i.imgur.com/CO6KPfy.jpg at least the brand of skim milk I used is giving me some good results. Either way, it costed me 1€ with the nespresso subscription, and after seeing the problems the expert has (my other possible choice) I'm glad I got this one
Very good thorough review. You nailed on each of my concerns from buying this based on what I read from Reddit. Seems that they is a QA issue despite how beautiful the machine is.
I love espresso! I enjoy espresso at the magnifica S in Delonghi. Thank you for the very interesting video! With love from Japan :) I will come back again.
I have had this machine for about a week now and absolutely love it, the milk frother shouldn’t stop at that point, as I’ve used it a few times now for a cappuccino for my wife and it’s used the correct amount every single time, so there is probably something wrong there with the sensor or something, it drips quite a bit with any drink I do but I just leave the cup underneath it for an extra 10 seconds to let it finish - When you was making the drink with a glass of that shape I thjnk it would of been worth moving the higher drip tray off completely, but also to note, the froth did seem very erratic, nothing in what I’ve seen with mine - it’s a shame that you didn’t enjoy it as I love mine, I am using mine for myself as I am the black coffee Lungo and espresso drinker and the milk coffee my wife is but she mainly is a tea drinker so she wouldn’t use the machine as I would so it kinda is a perfect machine for us - as I type this I see you using another sized cup - yes that is annoying as I got the recipe view glasses and that is the perfect size for it, you shouldn’t have to do it that I know but I thought I would mention it - appreciate the review anyways 👍👍
Hey. Could you please tell me , if I pour water in a milk frother machine, will it work??? Is there any sensor for milk which blinks that frother light???
I have bought it a few days ago! The first to times cappuccino was good and the milk creamed. I have no idea what got wrong but since then it was impossible to make a got cappuccino mostly because milk was not creamy enough. Do you guys have any idea what can i do?
If anyone has it and doesn’t know how to “Descale” this machine, behind the water tank is the “descaling” nozzle. Which plugs into the milk frother hose when you remove it. Very easy but it does take a while to descale. Maybe it’s how many coffees we throw into this machine daily. But actually in the middle of a descale and it’s taken over 30 minutes already. Probably my fault actually. But you can see the difference when your getting close to time of descaling needed!
Hi. Glad you liked it. If you want a nespresso machine I would go with the vertuo or citiz. If money is no object and you are happy to use whole beans, nothing beats the Sage “the Barista” Touch.
for some reason, my machine does not behave like what you have.. i wonder if they tune/adjust the milk frother after hearing so many complains? and i am completely satisfied with the machine..
I had this machine and the milk system was so much trouble so i got the lattissima touch instead, you should definitely check the lattissima touch if you’re interested in milk drinks
My machine used all the milk. I can pull the metal spout part down and make it longer, not sure if it’s made to do this or if it’s just for cleaning? The milk part is much easier to clean than the old lattisima machine
I absolutely love mine!!! Best purchase I have ever made. Not one issue . I’m not sure what is wrong with your milk frothed but that’s not what happens to me 🤦♀️
I'm deciding to buy this. It's currently on special at David Jones here in Australia for $319. My mum been eyeing on a coffee machine for a long time. Was going to get it as a surprise gift but now, after watching this... Idk. -Kevin
Market shopping for the best Nespresso pod machine, just wondering which is the best for me, before I spend $$$. Looking for one that fits all the Nespresso pods and also has a milk dispenser? I’m looking for an honest opinion rather than a corporate marketing opinion. Thanks in advance for any help given.
This is not quite right. I have this machine and the milk frother works very well, doesn’t splash around the glass and doesn’t leave any milk left in the container...looks like there’s an issue with this one. I’m very happy with mine
I have this machine and have none of the problems you show here. The milk is all used up and does not spurt apart from the initial burst of steam. The coffee is very hot which is how I like it using both the latte and cappuccino modes. I am more than happy with mine. I do think a shorter glass may serve you better as even the latte setting would go no way toward filling that tall glass of yours.
Hello may I ask what time of milk are you using in the container ? And how is your machine doing now? Since I am willing to buy this machine . Would like to have your suggestions. Thank you a lot !
@@jessiejiang1165 I used skim milk. I sold the machine to someone who wanted it to use in their caravan a couple of months ago as I have now upgraded to a bigger non capsule machine.
This is the "money is no object" best home machine i have tested: ua-cam.com/video/2ngPkNF-Lts/v-deo.html This the Nespresso machine i use daily: ua-cam.com/video/_pW40JSvLvQ/v-deo.html
I have had mine for a year and we love it! Actually have 3 different Nespresso machines and the Lattisima Pro is a beast! I also have the separate milk frother, and yes if frothing milk for multiple people using the separate one is much better. It looks like in his review the machine might have been “saved” to give less coffee. Possibly the machine didn’t froth enough because of the coffee setting? That I can’t answer. But I do love my machine!
Omg thank you for this review!! It is really helpful!! I was thinking to buy this new machine but now of course I don’t... thank you thank you thank you!!! Great review by the way! Love every detail 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Thanks for the review, your presentation for the machine is elegant and informative. I just bought it a few days ago and I’m wondering what is the best pod for making a cappuccino. I end up getting the light pink one, Rosabaya, and so far so good but I’m open to any suggestions.
Everyone here universally loves the Vanilla (Vanillo they call it) one and the Dulsão do Brasil is also one that goes super quick in the office.. Unfortunately the Vanilla is not included with the machine. If you have a Nespresso store near you, they all have free tasting sections, might be worth trying the different flavours out.
Looks like there is something wrong with your machine. I have seen other videos where all the milk is used and also the milk is not spilled. I would return it to Nespresso and have it replaced with a correctly working one.
We went through 3 machines before we got one that did not spurt milk all over the counter top. However, due to having to constantly refill the milk attachment if both me and my partner wanted coffee in the morning and the longer cleaning time (all be it only by 1 minute longer) we decided to stick with the older machine. One of the other main reasons is if we have guests and want to make 3-4 cups of coffee, we can fill up the milk department just once instead of 3-4 times like we would have to do on the newer machine. We also feel the old machine feels more solid and far less flimsy.
The Truth Reviews Ok, that does not sound so good. I was thinking of buying this machine, but maybe that is not such a good idea after all. Btw, the Lattissima Touch may be the better option for your usage, since it has a larger milk container, for more than one cup/glass of cappuccino or latte machiato.
You know what, Nespresso are so amazing with their customer service that if you tried this and you had the issues we had, they would likely take it back without issue. I know Amazon gladly would too. If you only make one cup of coffee at a time, give this a go if you like and let us know how your experience is. It is a good machine, we just found it not as good as the older and cheaper model and built a tad on the flimsy side. Thank you for checking out the review. Have a lovely weekend :-)
Its seem that you didnt have fully connected the milk tube or the container itself to the device. This is why the milk did not come out smoothly and there was also a surplus left in the container ... Because of air in the system
Had exactly the same issues - I couldn’t believe what a cheap afterthought the cup stand / drip tray is 🤨. I think the cleaning light means the milk container just needs flushing with water rather than a full disassemble clean (this is done by pressing a button on ours) We had the same previous machine and wish we’d kept it 😭
I get your point about the presentation part but most of the time you’ll make coffe in a cup and not a glass , so the milk splashing will be kinda invisible. Also I’ve watched other test videos milk quantity issue was not present and there was not as much splash , maybe yours is faulty ?
Cleaning the frother unit doesn't mean you have to take apart all the parts of the Rapid Cappuccino System and wash them after each usage. It means you have to turn the milk froth regulator knob to the clean position so that the rinsing process starts and hot water combined with steam flows and purges the nozzle. There are quite a few videos in UA-cam which explains this process.
Thankful for your review, I was considering this machine, not going to buy it due to the milk frother. Bad design, they should have angled it differently.
Hello, I would like to know the reasons for replacing the milk cup? Thx for the review though. I would have bought the lattissima just because I love the color lol but I didn't know that those details you mentioned were so annoying apparently for a lot of people but now that I saw your review I will not buy it.
If you drink mainly espresso and drinks if that nature buy the Citiz (had mine for 6 years). If you drink Americano style drinks, buy the Vertuo as it contains twice the coffee in a single capsule and is better for tall cups of coffee with little to no milk.
Simple drip fix- lift the silver lever after the coffee has dispensed and the tiny stream of extra water/coffee will be in your cup. True for any Nespresso machine. We have had many models.
What would Beyonce do 🤣 love that mug! Thanks for the review l was considering trying lt out but l think I'll just stick with my Vertuo which l love anyway :) this one looks too messy
I have this machine and I absolutely love it! But I have to admit your machine really seems weird. I've only had the milk come out erratically when I haven't cleaned the milk container in between once, and it always uses up all the milk. The coffee is delicious and creamy. I even make non-coffee lattes with it, like beetroot and turmeric and they're awesome. Also according to the manual if should be the rapid cappuccino system should be dish washed / specially handwashed not just rinsed in between. I don't think that's a huge issue, I want the machine to last as long as possible and take good care of it.
Hello may I ask what time of milk are you using in the container ? And how is your machine doing now? Since I am willing to buy this machine . Would like to have your suggestions. Thank you a lot !
@@jessiejiang1165 do you mean what type of milk? I use dairy milk but sometimes also almond and oat milk. Almond milk doesn't work so great but "barista" oat milk gets foamed up almost as well as dairy milk. But they dont advise using non dairy milk though. I've had it for 1.5yrs now and it's doing really well! Works as well as day one :) i would recommend it!
If your rapid cappuccino system only produces a cappuccino amount of milk when you filled it up to a latte amount of milk, you need to replace your milk frothing unit / send the machine back. To combat the dripping for the lattisima one machine, flip the lid that it used to reveal the capsule holder a few times, the rest of the coffee should drop nicely into your cup. Then get the last drop of coffee by using the rim of the inside of the cup.
I have the same milk problem maybe we are doing something wrong I was disappointed too don’t know if I would return it or not :( or maybe bc I’m using milk 3.25% happened to my citiz was having more watery foam with this kind of milk will try with milk 2% and will keep you updated .
I recently got this coffee machine and tbh, it was defective. The milk frother would only dispense the milk but not the coffee. Unfortunately, i would have to return it back. Idk if should even get a replacement though. Doesnt seem like its worth having either.
Thank you for the video. Still bought it, works 100% good. Your machine obviously have a milk pump issue.. In the users manual says clearly "all the milk will be used".
It’s clearly an issue with more than our machine considering how many comments here from people with the same issue and considering the machines we tried all had these issues too.
Thank you so much for this very thorough review. I’m in the process of deciding on Nespresso models and found the explanations at the Nespresso Boutique to be very simplistic.
I got the same issue in TAIWAN. It finally work good after I send it back four times. I told the customer service to remind the engineer the milk issue, and if the issue remained, I will return it. THANKS GOD. At least that customer service is good(but this product really give me hard time).
Click the lungo button first and then click the milk frother after. And then use the drip catcher to catch the excess from the capsule. You’ll get a bigger volume and milk was all used up 👍🏻
I recently purchased mine and must say I'm very happy, enjoying amazing coffee. I use chilled milk so it does not splutter out of the frother. I find the frother super easy to clean, I do that 1x daily (takes less than 1min under running water). My friends who have the aeroccino say they have to clean it frequently as well. My only niggle is that my latté glass almost fills over because of the froth.
I bought this a year ago and have experienced all the problems you described. Honestly, such a waste of money! Will be buying the pixie and aeroccino on sale to replace it!
Was you milk nor cold enough. All machines sputter milk if it’s too warm to start with. Are you sure you can’t adjust the milk quantity? Having said that, this machine sees silly compared with the large milk container machine. Also your coffee cup looks like a glass. Have you tried the large milk tank machine. It’s great. Cleaning on it is a button and it steam clean the milk container in place to clean it I think your comparing oranges and apples here. I’ve looked at this new one and can’t understand why the have made it. Especially if, as you say, you have to wash out the milk container by hand every time. Thanks for the video, I’ll look at more.
Great review! Sadly, they seemed to have gone the unfortunate route of sacrificing substance for style for this one. It sure looks nicer and more 'smart' but it functions anything but that! You need to keep that old fashioned versatility sometimes
I used to have the older machine you have and I miss it sooooo much. I ordered the Vertuo , what garbage that machine was. I returned it. Now I just ordered the one you have and seeing this I feel like canceling it. I hope by being an older video they fixed that issue.
Thanks for the detailed review. I just purchased this Nespresso model for $197 on Bed Bath and Beyond. They’re having a sale plus the 20% off is eligible. Hopefully the milk dispenser has an easy fix. Did you prime it?
The Truth Reviews I’ve tested mine today and it works great. I primed my Nespresso like the instructions stated and had no issues with the milk. I’m actually kind of surprised with the results. I’ve been a Keurig user for awhile now so this is a big upgrade for me.
When we contacted Nespresso to find out if this was an issue they had heard of, the lady on the phone said she had dealt with "a few" complaints that day.
I got the lattissima one yesterday for Christmas and am experiencing all the issues you've described. Extremely disappointed. Will be sending mine back. Wish I'd seen this review earlier.

I have had mine for 2 months and LOVE it. I have used almond milk and whole milk. Both work great. Would highly recommend. Easy to clean too.
What color is yours? I wonder if the pearl white doesn't get stained if coffee accidently spills.

have this machine and out the box i've had none of these issues aside from the few drops of froth spillage

you have to disassemble the entire milk frother and wash it with soup given milk is oily and fatty. how come you haven't had this issue ??
A lot of comments from people who have had all these issues. It may not be an issue with every single unit. But it is an issue with quiet a few.

You can program the buttons. And the amount of milk and coffee you want to set and hes gonna Remember that much milk and coffee
Thanks so much for this video! Super informative and you helped me in making the decision of which nespresso machine to get. I purchased the citiz 😁

This is not quite right. I have this machine and the milk frother works very well, doesn’t splash around the glass and doesn’t leave any milk left in the container...looks like there’s an issue with this one. I’m very happy with mine
Had a lot of other comments saying they had same issue. Maybe you got lucky with yours.
I have this machine and have none of the problems you show here. The milk is all used up and does not spurt apart from the initial burst of steam. The coffee is very hot which is how I like it using both the latte and cappuccino modes. I am more than happy with mine. I do think a shorter glass may serve you better as even the latte setting would go no way toward filling that tall glass of yours.
Hello may I ask what time of milk are you using in the container ? And how is your machine doing now? Since I am willing to buy this machine . Would like to have your suggestions. Thank you a lot !
@@jessiejiang1165 I used skim milk. I sold the machine to someone who wanted it to use in their caravan a couple of months ago as I have now upgraded to a bigger non capsule machine.
can you drop link of your oun coffe machine pls we didnt find it from internet
This is the "money is no object" best home machine i have tested: ua-cam.com/video/2ngPkNF-Lts/v-deo.html
This the Nespresso machine i use daily: ua-cam.com/video/_pW40JSvLvQ/v-deo.html
hi there! what is the name of the older machine you used to have?
The Nespresso citiz & milk.
just bought this.... i have none of the problems you have
To be fare the video was posted 2 years ago and you posted 5 months ago, so they could of fixed those issues.
Same
Can you use your own coffee grounds ?
@@alexandrarodriguez3057 good question.
Probably not. But that why they make manual machines.. that why I want to get a manual one
I have had mine for a year and we love it!
Actually have 3 different Nespresso machines and the Lattisima Pro is a beast!
I also have the separate milk frother, and yes if frothing milk for multiple people using the separate one is much better.
It looks like in his review the machine might have been “saved” to give less coffee. Possibly the machine didn’t froth enough because of the coffee setting? That I can’t answer. But I do love my machine!
Omg thank you for this review!! It is really helpful!! I was thinking to buy this new machine but now of course I don’t... thank you thank you thank you!!! Great review by the way! Love every detail 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
Thanks for the review, your presentation for the machine is elegant and informative.
I just bought it a few days ago and I’m wondering what is the best pod for making a cappuccino. I end up getting the light pink one, Rosabaya, and so far so good but I’m open to any suggestions.
Everyone here universally loves the Vanilla (Vanillo they call it) one and the
Dulsão do Brasil is also one that goes super quick in the office.. Unfortunately the Vanilla is not included with the machine. If you have a Nespresso store near you, they all have free tasting sections, might be worth trying the different flavours out.
Looks like there is something wrong with your machine. I have seen other videos where all the milk is used and also the milk is not spilled. I would return it to Nespresso and have it replaced with a correctly working one.
We went through 3 machines before we got one that did not spurt milk all over the counter top. However, due to having to constantly refill the milk attachment if both me and my partner wanted coffee in the morning and the longer cleaning time (all be it only by 1 minute longer) we decided to stick with the older machine. One of the other main reasons is if we have guests and want to make 3-4 cups of coffee, we can fill up the milk department just once instead of 3-4 times like we would have to do on the newer machine. We also feel the old machine feels more solid and far less flimsy.
The Truth Reviews Ok, that does not sound so good. I was thinking of buying this machine, but maybe that is not such a good idea after all. Btw, the Lattissima Touch may be the better option for your usage, since it has a larger milk container, for more than one cup/glass of cappuccino or latte machiato.
You know what, Nespresso are so amazing with their customer service that if you tried this and you had the issues we had, they would likely take it back without issue. I know Amazon gladly would too. If you only make one cup of coffee at a time, give this a go if you like and let us know how your experience is. It is a good machine, we just found it not as good as the older and cheaper model and built a tad on the flimsy side. Thank you for checking out the review. Have a lovely weekend :-)
Patrick Craenmehr just buy a semi automatic espresso machine and buy a good grinder
Its seem that you didnt have fully connected the milk tube or the container itself to the device. This is why the milk did not come out smoothly and there was also a surplus left in the container ... Because of air in the system
Had exactly the same issues - I couldn’t believe what a cheap afterthought the cup stand / drip tray is 🤨. I think the cleaning light means the milk container just needs flushing with water rather than a full disassemble clean (this is done by pressing a button on ours) We had the same previous machine and wish we’d kept it 😭
I get your point about the presentation part but most of the time you’ll make coffe in a cup and not a glass , so the milk splashing will be kinda invisible.
Also I’ve watched other test videos milk quantity issue was not present and there was not as much splash , maybe yours is faulty ?
Cleaning the frother unit doesn't mean you have to take apart all the parts of the Rapid Cappuccino System and wash them after each usage. It means you have to turn the milk froth regulator knob to the clean position so that the rinsing process starts and hot water combined with steam flows and purges the nozzle. There are quite a few videos in UA-cam which explains this process.
Thankful for your review, I was considering this machine, not going to buy it due to the milk frother. Bad design, they should have angled it differently.
Hello, I would like to know the reasons for replacing the milk cup? Thx for the review though. I would have bought the lattissima just because I love the color lol but I didn't know that those details you mentioned were so annoying apparently for a lot of people but now that I saw your review I will not buy it.
so should i just buy the old one instead of the lattisima one?
If you drink mainly espresso and drinks if that nature buy the Citiz (had mine for 6 years). If you drink Americano style drinks, buy the Vertuo as it contains twice the coffee in a single capsule and is better for tall cups of coffee with little to no milk.
Simple drip fix- lift the silver lever after the coffee has dispensed and the tiny stream of extra water/coffee will be in your cup. True for any Nespresso machine. We have had many models.
What would Beyonce do 🤣 love that mug!
Thanks for the review l was considering trying lt out but l think I'll just stick with my Vertuo which l love anyway :) this one looks too messy
Thank you for the honest and detailed review of the products. The comparison was very helpful :)
I have an older machine with similar functionality and you can adjust both the milk and coffee flow amounts.
Thanks for this - a quick question, which machine is quieter in your opinion? (For the espresso part, not the milk part).
To be honest they are both equally as loud to me. We are putting up a review tomorrow of the latest machine. Which should on paper be the one to get.
I have this machine and I absolutely love it! But I have to admit your machine really seems weird. I've only had the milk come out erratically when I haven't cleaned the milk container in between once, and it always uses up all the milk. The coffee is delicious and creamy. I even make non-coffee lattes with it, like beetroot and turmeric and they're awesome. Also according to the manual if should be the rapid cappuccino system should be dish washed / specially handwashed not just rinsed in between. I don't think that's a huge issue, I want the machine to last as long as possible and take good care of it.
Hello may I ask what time of milk are you using in the container ? And how is your machine doing now? Since I am willing to buy this machine . Would like to have your suggestions. Thank you a lot !
@@jessiejiang1165 do you mean what type of milk? I use dairy milk but sometimes also almond and oat milk. Almond milk doesn't work so great but "barista" oat milk gets foamed up almost as well as dairy milk. But they dont advise using non dairy milk though. I've had it for 1.5yrs now and it's doing really well! Works as well as day one :) i would recommend it!
Thanks for your honest review ... I’m definitely not investing. Cleaning after every use is ridiculous
Lyndon well it’s like Starbucks, you have to clean the milk frother everyday so the milk doesn’t build into the machine and create bacteria
Cheers!! You've prevented me from wasting my money! Great review!
I have this machine for 6 months now and its absolutely fantastic with no issues...good to make a single glass of latte...small and compact machine.
If your rapid cappuccino system only produces a cappuccino amount of milk when you filled it up to a latte amount of milk, you need to replace your milk frothing unit / send the machine back.
To combat the dripping for the lattisima one machine, flip the lid that it used to reveal the capsule holder a few times, the rest of the coffee should drop nicely into your cup. Then get the last drop of coffee by using the rim of the inside of the cup.
I have the same milk problem maybe we are doing something wrong I was disappointed too don’t know if I would return it or not :( or maybe bc I’m using milk 3.25% happened to my citiz was having more watery foam with this kind of milk will try with milk 2% and will keep you updated .
MM can you update us?
I recently got this coffee machine and tbh, it was defective. The milk frother would only dispense the milk but not the coffee. Unfortunately, i would have to return it back. Idk if should even get a replacement though. Doesnt seem like its worth having either.
Thank you for the video. Still bought it, works 100% good. Your machine obviously have a milk pump issue.. In the users manual says clearly "all the milk will be used".
It’s clearly an issue with more than our machine considering how many comments here from people with the same issue and considering the machines we tried all had these issues too.
@@TruthReviews didn't noticed that, but yeah.. I got lucky maybe..
Where we can get a part of the machine if it's broken.
If you call Nespresso they will help. They do have amazing customer service.
@@TruthReviews thank you so much 😘
Can i use oat milk instead of regular milk?
You can. You can use any type of milk with it. Most milks do not froth much.
thank you for your honest review. I truly appreciate your video.
Really useful! Nearly bought this as looks so compact and clean....I’ll stick with the separate aerocinno thing. 👍🏻
Good idea. We did the same.
Separate milk frother very useful. Can make other cold drinks and hot drinks, even if you want like a hot Choc I use my frother.
Thank you so much for this very thorough review. I’m in the process of deciding on Nespresso models and found the explanations at the Nespresso Boutique to be very simplistic.
Glad you like it. Doing another one tomorrow for their new Bluetooth machine.
The Truth Reviews still waiting...
Sorry got caught up with other reviews. Within 24 hours will be up.
I got the same issue in TAIWAN. It finally work good after I send it back four times. I told the customer service to remind the engineer the milk issue, and if the issue remained, I will return it. THANKS GOD. At least that customer service is good(but this product really give me hard time).
Great review! Glad saw it before I ordered, which I won't now.
Thank you.
@@TruthReviews كل زق بس🌝✌🏻
I had this wishlisted on Amazon. Not anymore. Great review. Now looking at the Magimix.
can i use it to make espresso only ?
Hello. Yes you can.
@@TruthReviews thank you sir
Thank you for making the video. It helped a lot!
Great review, thank you, it is making me second guess purchasing one of these now.
Finally somebody that it review of this machine I was thinking about buying this for my father for Christmas
Click the lungo button first and then click the milk frother after. And then use the drip catcher to catch the excess from the capsule. You’ll get a bigger volume and milk was all used up 👍🏻
I don't think you're suppose to get the Aeroccino wet... All that water on the bottom might cause some issues.
I recently purchased mine and must say I'm very happy, enjoying amazing coffee. I use chilled milk so it does not splutter out of the frother. I find the frother super easy to clean, I do that 1x daily (takes less than 1min under running water). My friends who have the aeroccino say they have to clean it frequently as well. My only niggle is that my latté glass almost fills over because of the froth.
I bought this a year ago and have experienced all the problems you described. Honestly, such a waste of money! Will be buying the pixie and aeroccino on sale to replace it!
Did you buy the Pixie? Do you like it better? Any problems?
@@melissa4455 Yes, I bought the pixie and still love it! No problems so far :)
How does everyone find the temperature of the latte/cappucino ?? too cold ??
How match do you buy the old Nespresso machine ??
£170
Thanks for this. I almost got it but I only use mugs and was nervous about the cleaning.
so glad I saw this review, I was thinking of purchasing this. appreciate the videos sir. ✌️
Was you milk nor cold enough. All machines sputter milk if it’s too warm to start with.
Are you sure you can’t adjust the milk quantity?
Having said that, this machine sees silly compared with the large milk container machine.
Also your coffee cup looks like a glass.
Have you tried the large milk tank machine. It’s great.
Cleaning on it is a button and it steam clean the milk container in place to clean it
I think your comparing oranges and apples here.
I’ve looked at this new one and can’t understand why the have made it.
Especially if, as you say, you have to wash out the milk container by hand every time.
Thanks for the video, I’ll look at more.
The milk was straight out of the fridge.
Is it good for espresso?
Great review! Sadly, they seemed to have gone the unfortunate route of sacrificing substance for style for this one. It sure looks nicer and more 'smart' but it functions anything but that!
You need to keep that old fashioned versatility sometimes
Tyvm for your very honest review! This helped me tremendously.
Where did you buy the base for your citiz machine and aeroccino?
Hallo... ich nutze meine Lattissima touch seit jahren... bin super zufrieden... super Kaffee... habe ich ausführlich dokumentiert...
Thanks for your honest review I was dying to get this coffee machine but no thanks not anymore, might just be the hype of that machine. 👍
Black colored machine is from which company? R both from same?
yes
Can you use your own coffee ground?
ALEXANDRA RODRIGUEZ there are reusable capsules you can get from Amazon that you can fill with your own ground coffee.
Where can i find ur old machine and frother
It’s still for sale. Just search for nespresso citiz and milk.
Honest, clear review, no bullshit. Thank you
I used to have the older machine you have and I miss it sooooo much. I ordered the Vertuo , what garbage that machine was. I returned it. Now I just ordered the one you have and seeing this I feel like canceling it. I hope by being an older video they fixed that issue.
Do rinse the rapid cappuccino system with dish soap from time to time
So glad I watched this!
Glad you liked it. Reviewing the newer pro model of this one next week.
same here...
Thanks for the detailed review. I just purchased this Nespresso model for $197 on Bed Bath and Beyond. They’re having a sale plus the 20% off is eligible. Hopefully the milk dispenser has an easy fix. Did you prime it?
Hi, no i ordered it directly from Nespresso. They have an offer at the moment with £60 worth of free coffee with any order of a coffee machine.
The Truth Reviews I’ve tested mine today and it works great. I primed my Nespresso like the instructions stated and had no issues with the milk. I’m actually kind of surprised with the results. I’ve been a Keurig user for awhile now so this is a big upgrade for me.
When we contacted Nespresso to find out if this was an issue they had heard of, the lady on the phone said she had dealt with "a few" complaints that day.
