Nespresso Lattissima Coffee Maker Review
The Lattissima takes Nespresso's one-touch brewing to the next level. It can make espressos and lungo coffee in just a minute or less and it can take the wide range of capsules.
The machine can also be programmed to create the exact size of drink you require. This is an excellent feature for busy families.
Simple to use
This black Nespresso machine that is basic in design, is easy to maintain and use. It is minimalist in its simple design with just one button at the top that controls powering, rinsing making coffee and much more. Remove the lid, place the capsule inside and press to start the brewing. It's quick to heat up and offers many drink options such as double-shot espresso, a 5-, 8 or 18-ounce cup of coffee. It even comes with a steaming wand for adding a cafe-style milk texture to your drinks. While we love its easy interface and compact size however, we discovered that the machine didn't perform as well as more expensive models in making rich coffee and espresso. It's also not as easy to recycle capsules as other machines we've tested. This is why Nespresso isn't the best choice for our side-by-side test.
Quick to make a cup of tea
The Nespresso machine can brew a cup of espresso in just 15 seconds. The hot water from a reservoir is pumped through a pump that is able to penetrate the tiny holes on the top of the pod. The water is then mixed with the ground coffee and drips into the cup. We tested the machine using Jones Brothers and Bestpresso capsules and it made an intense and delicious espresso with a slight nutty taste. We tested almond, whole and 2% milks and all performed well.
Easy to clean
Cleaning a Nespresso machine is important, both inside and outside. This will ensure that the machine is in good working order and ensure its security. It also makes the coffee you make taste better. There are a variety of cleaning products to clean a Nespresso and include vinegar. It's best to employ a descaling agent in place of vinegar, since it can damage the machine.
To clean your Nespresso machine, remove all the capsules. Then, clean the drip tray and capsule container. Fill the sink with warm water, and add a few drops dish soap. Let the drip tray and container soak in the soapy water for a few minutes to loosen the gunk and stain. Rinse them off with hot water, and then employ a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to scrub away any residues or stains. After scrubbing, rinse the drip tray and capsule container again and let them dry completely before returning them to the machine.
After your machine has been cleaned, it's time to descale. coffee machines for nespresso pods can follow the instructions in your user manual to perform a specific procedure. You can also create your own DIY descaling solution with citric acid or white vinegar. If you're using vinegar be sure to use white vinegar rather than balsamic or apple vinegar since they are too harsh for this purpose.
