Thank you so much! When I clicked your video, I did not expect to see all different versions of coffee making. So informative! I am gonna go ahead and buy this.
@@Melissa001 Hello Mel. I'm still very happy with my Coffee Machine. The wand has moments where it needs cleaning a lot then often it works for days. I guess its a case of how blocked the milk gets. The only problem i've had is the silver coating is coming off in place. I've only ever cleaned it will a damp cloth and anti bac solution. I do have a couple of lodgers who may have used a different sponge . Still going strong and I drink a lot of coffee.
Thank you so much for all your videos. I love watching them. They are so informative. 😊 Just a quick question on the Creatista line. When using the milk frother wand are you able to use flavoured creamers mixed in with regular milk to make frothed milk or can you only use regular milk in the frother?
Does it make a double espresso ? I just saw the option for single espresso only. I currently have the virtuo plus with the aerochino frother. I’m not sure if this is worth upgrading to because I mostly drink double espresso’s.
it does it automatically. When you frothed your milk, get the jug out and wipe the end of the steam wand. Put it back to its place and it flushes itself automatically. ua-cam.com/video/_8RUgZmDbG4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Nespresso at 00:01:25
I had latissima pro for years, and I loved it, but I bought a new one because it was getting old, and the frother on the new one didn’t work, had it repaired, still didn’t work, they sent me a new one, only worked for 2 weeks, so now I’m trying the creatista plus. Even if it doesn’t get as foamy, at least it won’t ruin the milk. I’m fine with awesome creamy espresso and hot milk. No
Amazing and best review for that machine😍I think there will be a tips to get a much higher frother or foam from milk for example the type of milk we are using.. I hear from google the long life milk better than the fresh milk in order to get more foamy instead of silky. Also the way we are putting the wind of machine. I read from the manual best froth we shall get if we keep it on the center... So the conclusion of my talks are I really want you to make a quick review for how to get the most optimum froth by using this machine.. We will be very happy if you did this step😍thank you alot!
@@PlanningwithCrystal the new cocoa truffle is yummy but I prefer to start the day with the vivalto lungo. We've just changed back to the original size pods from the vertuo. Looking forward to your next video comparing the two models we have the plus.
I’ve just ordered this machine for £1 on a monthly subscription. We have three vertuo plus machines and it’s good to know you’ve gone back to the original. This will be our 6th machine. I’ve always got a subscription on the go as we use a lot of coffee. I like that Starbucks do their own capsules for this machine
What number of pods do you recommend for optimum extraction for a recipe glass recipe? Also what do you recommend for 6oz cappuccino? People complain about coffee strength but they should be aware that you cannot in any machine make a large cup with one pod and have that cup be “intense “.
Great review. Not sure whether this is the machine for us though. Just can’t decide! We have an old Nespresso machine now with a separate Aerocino. We only make one type of coffee. In a mug, two capsules (one after the other). Then milk in last. I’m wondering if that is even possible with this machine as it is all automated?? Also - the milk drinks you made seemed quite small? Particularly the flat white. We’d drink two of those in a mug at one time.
Hi Crystal really need this machine in my home 😍 my only problem is I cannot find it here in Canada 🥺 I have phoned around hoping for information on when it will be in Canada? No one knows anything about it. Would you by chance have heard if it will be released in Canada USA?
Well my cretista plus just broke… could have got it repaired but as old ,out of warranty etc decided to bite the bullet and buy this updated model…… loved my original machine but hoping this upgrade is worth it!!!!….. love nespresso
What was your main reason for getting the upgraded machine? I'm still using a MagiMix M200. Yep it's one of the original style, everything is manual...
Hi. Lovely review by the way. I only have one concern about the milk. Are u using the wrong milk ? No mater what drink u was making the milk was flat , no foam at all , not even on the latte macchiato, is that the way it should be??? If that’s the right way then is like having hot milk on a pot and u have the same job done and u can go for a very lower price machine and having the same results. Thanks
how is the actual taste of the coffee pods compared to say a $100 machine? Is there no difference between and you're paying 10x more for other features?
I am really interested in Getting one I’m just concerned about some reviews of the machine. Have you had any issues with it since you have purchased it?
I can find this nespresso Pro machine in Williams-Sonoma store but not in official Nespresso online or offline. Why is it? Why official store doesn’t sell Criatista Pro? I’m in the United State.
They now sell the pro! I purchased the pro on thanksgiving. But can I rinse or clean the machine by clicking lungo or espresso buttons without any capsules?
Okay, thanks. I'll probably get it anyway. When you are making lattes to several people the dual boilers will be a real timesaver. It looks good as well.
I haven’t seen a single review on this machine where the temperature of the coffee was taken straight out of the machine. I’ve heard it’s not very hot. Anyone know the actual temp of the coffee output?
Can you manually froth the milk? ( I work at a Starbucks and I love doing it myself ). Or does it only work when the jug is on the sensor? And it can only be done to the preset options built into the machine?
I wonder if you can just put something on the sensor to let the machine think the jug is on so you can manually jiggle the jug around to your liking while it auto frothes the milk. I doubt you'd be able to manually control the steam wand itself.
Failed on the flat white as the espresso is completely expired while the milk is still steaming and also not great on the cappuccino (can you manually use the steam wand? Just not enough foam for a cappuccino at all), but the macchiato latte is quite good (milk steaming first!)
Does this make an Americano? Asking as si got the Plus model, but I’m debating returning and purchasing the Pro simply for the Americano! I’ve heard the Plus doesn’t make an americano?
Cant decide if I want a creatista pro or citiz. I drink lattes daily. I currently have vertuo and forth milk seperately. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade? Is the steam wand worth the extra couple hundred dollars?
I have one of these machines and cannot work out the difference in making a cappuccino and a latte it seems like I’m making the same drink as I fill the milk to minimum and use a espresso shot ?
Nice video. The issue for me is that it appears the milk frother only has one type of setting. One could almost just nuke some milk or heat on the stove. I’m disappointed in Nespresso. Thanks for having such a clearly explained video. And what was the Long Black? Looks like Nespresso was making tea!
Nespresso is now doing a monthly subscription that includes a free creatista uno, and the deal is just too good, but I was a bit confused about what exactly this machine was because I’ve never actually purchased a coffee machine before! We currently just use a French press with our breville tea maker and it’s a lot of work and time in the morning so I’m looking forward to the fancy nespresso! This was the best review I found when trying to make my decision! Thanks for uploading :)
This was a really thorough review and very nicely executed, except for the pronouncement of Inspirazione Venezia 😂😂 You gotta sing when speaking Italiano 🤌
I was told they are not making this machine any more !! is that true ? can I get a unit for USA ? .Whole Latte Love and Seattle Coffe company can not order the Creatista Pro anymore . Is this a rumor ?
Great review/overview of the pro version, it's the best i've seen, looks like a great upgrade, it's more like the barista/oracle touch series of Sage. I do think it's a little bit expensive, considering the plus model for a while now. Like u mentioned in the beginning of your video, a comparison between the 2 Creatista's u own would be great. So you mentioned you leave the milk level at it's minimum, does that mean the strongest version of the nespresso cups is still a little weak for your taste? Is the water hot enough for making a cup of tea? which would be funny and saves me a lot of time because of the 3 second heating system and exclude a device on my kitchen just for that purpose.
Thank you for your comments, I wouldn't use it for tea - I don't think its quite hot enough. I just feel I don't need that much milk for the size of drink I like to make with the capsules I use. I may try and use a stronger capsule to see if I prefer more milk with that. I like the option of heating more milk if I'm making a few drinks at a time. I'm hoping to get the comparison video up this weekend.
I would probably froth the milk first then do the espresso pods as I really dislike the taste of expired espresso (when turns black) Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
I find the result of Cappuccino and Latte Macchiato very disappointing. I prefer the nice creamy Cappuccino that my “Nespresso Lattissima Plus” makes me, with the milk container that is applied directly to the machine and by pressing a button, everything is complete .... frothed milk and coffee that enter in the cup one after the other. (and it also costs less).
Is there a good option for refill capsules? the price compared to ground is somewhere between 0,25 and 0,50 US$ pr. cup if i buy new capsules all the time? Your flexoffers affiliate link is broken btw.
This machine will not make the nespresso shot and froth milk at the same time. I have called support they just keep telling me its the type of coffee i am making even though there are hundreds of videos online showing that it does . I bought this machine for the exact purpose either a waste of money or poor customer service
Thank you so much! When I clicked your video, I did not expect to see all different versions of coffee making. So informative! I am gonna go ahead and buy this.
Glad it was helpful!
Me too, thank you so much 😊
I've had the Pro for about 2 months now. At the time there was no independent reviews online so I just went for it. Best machine ever!
I love mine too, whats your favourite coffee?
@@PlanningwithCrystal I'm loving the flat white. I little creamier/smoother than Latte. Then I just enjoy watching the Macchiato.
A year on, are you still happy with it? It looks great but I'm sceptical about negative comments about the wand not working properly after a while

Thank you!
Lovely review I just bought the pro last week and I love it.
Drink making starts at 7:40...
Yeah, but the sexy accent starts at 0:01.
Unless I missed it skipping through the video, but how do you clean the steam wand and flush it through?
it does it automatically. When you frothed your milk, get the jug out and wipe the end of the steam wand. Put it back to its place and it flushes itself automatically.

I tried all methods, I cant get a thick froth
I hope you have a big family to drink all that coffee. Nice video and great machine. Unfortunately in my country we have only Creatista plus.
In my country we don’t have it at all we just stopped at lattissima pro
I bought one last month and I'm really enjoying it.
I love it 😀What's your favourite coffee?

Well my cretista plus just broke… could have got it repaired but as old ,out of warranty etc decided to bite the bullet and buy this updated model…… loved my original machine but hoping this upgrade is worth it!!!!….. love nespresso
What was your main reason for getting the upgraded machine? I'm still using a MagiMix M200. Yep it's one of the original style, everything is manual...
My main reason was the ability to heat milk and dispense coffee at the same time, I also like the updated display etc. More of a want than a need.
@@PlanningwithCrystal Ifeel the same way, love my plus but want the pro.I'm the same with the latest iPhones.
In Canada we don’t get the coffee samples with the machine. Too bad.

If that’s the right way then is like having hot milk on a pot and u have the same job done and u can go for a very lower price machine and having the same results. Thanks
Thanks for your comment, I can adjust the milk to make it more frothy. I was using semi-skimmed milk.
Planning with Crystal that makes sense. Thanks for the very fast relay. I thought is just the way is making it :))
how is the actual taste of the coffee pods compared to say a $100 machine? Is there no difference between and you're paying 10x more for other features?
MrrrrMime I suggest go to nespresso and get the subsciption plan. Get the creatista uno, it works the same just without the LED display.
I am really interested in Getting one I’m just concerned about some reviews of the machine. Have you had any issues with it since you have purchased it?
I've not had any issues with it at all, I love it.
Planning with Crystal great think I’m gonna look to buy one!! Thanks for the speedy reply!!
Hello 😊 Is everything still working fine?
Does this make just regular coffees? I make Mistos/Cafe Olays and looking into getting this, but if it can't make a regular coffee then idk.
I guess I'm finding this late haha, but what is the capsule folder for? I'm confused.
Hi Alexander, it's to collect the capsule you use (after you've used it).
Otherwise it would fall out of the machine.
I can find this nespresso Pro machine in Williams-Sonoma store but not in official Nespresso online or offline. Why is it? Why official store doesn’t sell Criatista Pro? I’m in the United State.
the creatista pro isn’t available in the united states
but you can get the plus
They now sell the pro! I purchased the pro on thanksgiving. But can I rinse or clean the machine by clicking lungo or espresso buttons without any capsules?
@@soy7676 well i didnt know that! And yes you can rinse the machine with no capsule in it.
Does the capsule tray empty water into the drip tray? I miss that from the Lattissima Pro.
Unfortunately, it does not.
Okay, thanks. I'll probably get it anyway. When you are making lattes to several people the dual boilers will be a real timesaver. It looks good as well.
Hello 😊 Is everything still working fine?

figure out an answer to that?
Unfortunately, you can’t. However, there are plenty of settings for the milk to hopefully match your preference. Froth, heat, etc.
i did see a video of someone frothing the milk manually so i think its possible but you have to take off the drip tray to be able to have enough room
I wonder if you can just put something on the sensor to let the machine think the jug is on so you can manually jiggle the jug around to your liking while it auto frothes the milk. I doubt you'd be able to manually control the steam wand itself.
I like your video....i like this machine.....is it posdible to ajust water tempature?
not water temp but you can with the milk
Is there an option to have a double shot of coffee?
Yes, there is. When it has dispensed the coffee it highlights another button that you can press for the second shot.
One cup at a time if I am not mistaken right?
Thank you for your review, nicely done I thought. 👏
Thank you 😀
I love mine. The only option I wish it had was cold foam.
its uses steam to froth the milk so that is not possible
Great review, is it possible to do latte art with this machine? Thanks 🙏🏻
Yesss
What do you press on the screen if you want to make healthier drinks besides coffee ?
This machine only makes coffee
Thanx for replying but I’ve seen nespresso pods that makes fruit teas etc
Failed on the flat white as the espresso is completely expired while the milk is still steaming and also not great on the cappuccino (can you manually use the steam wand? Just not enough foam for a cappuccino at all), but the macchiato latte is quite good (milk steaming first!)
Great review. Can it froth cold milk for ice coffee (not hot/steam).
Hi Hussain, unfortunately this machine does not do cold froth. My Barista machine & Aeroccino 4 do the cold froth for me.
Best review ever!
Did you drink all that coffee?
We shared it as a family
Does this make an Americano? Asking as si got the Plus model, but I’m debating returning and purchasing the Pro simply for the Americano! I’ve heard the Plus doesn’t make an americano?
The plus can make an americano (by pressing for extra water), the pro has the 'long black' setting which will make it with the push of one button.
Do you think it’s worth upgrading or not ? Thanks.
I do, I've been using it a while now and I really like it.
Cant decide if I want a creatista pro or citiz. I drink lattes daily. I currently have vertuo and forth milk seperately. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade? Is the steam wand worth the extra couple hundred dollars?
I think it's worth the upgrade for me, I really like it.
More of a want than a need though, especially if you already have a milk frother.
I have one of these machines and cannot work out the difference in making a cappuccino and a latte it seems like I’m making the same drink as I fill the milk to minimum and use a espresso shot ?
just pour less milk into your cup and use a higher froth setting for cappuccino and pour al the milk you put in the jug to the minimum
What's that black disk in the water container?
It's a water filter
@@larrylarry3904 Thank you sir. What does it do?
Is there the hot water option like lattissima pro to make tea for example ?
Yes, there is.
Great review. The milk doesn't get anywhere near frothy enough for my liking.
You can actually manually froth it by removing the drop tray and aerating the milk to your liking.
@@ceecee8757 that changes everything then 😊 Thank you!

Thanks for having such a clearly explained video. And what was the Long Black? Looks like Nespresso was making tea!
the milk has multiple heat and froth settings
Nespresso is now doing a monthly subscription that includes a free creatista uno, and the deal is just too good, but I was a bit confused about what exactly this machine was because I’ve never actually purchased a coffee machine before!

Breville is an Australian made you won't go wrong
Marvellous. Your video is fun and informative.
Thank you!
How do you make a bigger latte or cappuccino without having to do the milk twice ? (Using two capsules)
just do 2 espresso’s and then go to the frothed milk and then set the desired froth and temperature setting
This was a really thorough review and very nicely executed, except for the pronouncement of Inspirazione Venezia 😂😂 You gotta sing when speaking Italiano 🤌
Thank you & I'll bare that in mind 😆
I can’t find this pod on nespresso site, any idea where I can get it?
if i am making two or three cappuccinos in a row does it rinse the steam wand between cups?
Yes, once you placed the wand in the original position, but make sure to wipe the wand as well after frothing.
I was told they are not making this machine any more !! is that true ? can I get a unit for USA ? .Whole Latte Love and Seattle Coffe company can not order the Creatista Pro anymore . Is this a rumor ?
I'm not sure about the US but its still on sale in the UK so hopefully its just a rumour

Hi there, yes I purchased it from the UK Nespresso site.
A very se xy and helpful lady! Thank you
They cheated me! I only got seven pods ….

I have called support they just keep telling me its the type of coffee i am making even though there are hundreds of videos online showing that it does . I bought this machine for the exact purpose either a waste of money or poor customer service
Kenneth, you most likely need the Creatista Pro or a Lattissima model.
Can anyone tell me whether the milk gets really hot as my wife likes her drinks really hot?
you can adjust the temperature and it goes to tongue burning level!
Can you make iced drinks with us?
kind of just put ice in a glass and pour espresso in and then pour in cold milk
Haha that is not a cappuccino! It is the contrary of advertisement
It looks really watery compare to my simply 10 euro moka pot
That’s what they call espresso. This is a gimmick. Thanks for the video
Where is art ?
cappuccino is ridiculous
yes she did it wrong she didnt pour all the milk in which had the froth
So British ...
