nespresso coffee machine Lattissima Coffee Maker Review

The Lattissima is a Nespresso machine that takes brewing one-touch to a new level. You can brew espressos and lungo coffee in one time of less than a minute and it can take the vast selection of capsules.

The machine can also be programmed to make the exact amount of drinks you want. This is a nice feature for busy households.

Easy to use

This black Nespresso machine that is basic in design, is easy to maintain and use. It is simple and minimalist in design with a single button that regulates everything from powering rinsing to brewing. It is easy to take off the lid, insert a capsule and click to begin 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 also comes with a steaming tool to create a textured, cafe-like appearance to your drinks. We love the small design and simple interface, however, we discovered that this machine doesn't make the same quality of coffee or espresso as some models that are more expensive. And it's not as easy to recycle the capsules as some other machines we tested. This is why Nespresso isn't a top pick for our side-by-side test.

Quick to make a cup of tea

The Nespresso machine can make one cup of espresso in just 15 minutes. The hot water from the reservoir flows through a pump which pierces the small holes in the top of the pod. It then mixes with the compacted ground coffee inside before dripping into your cup. The machine created a rich, Nespresso vertuo Next machine flavorful espresso with just a hint of bite when we tried it with Jones Brothers and Bestpresso coffee capsules. We tested whole, almond and 2% milks and all worked well.

Easy to clean

Cleaning a Nespresso machine is crucial both inside and out. This keeps the machine in good working order and ensure its security. This can also enhance the taste of your coffee. You can clean your Nespresso with a variety of cleaning agents which include vinegar. It is best to use a descaling agent instead of vinegar as it could damage your machine.

To clean your nespresso vertuo Next Machine machine, remove all the pods. Clean the drip tray and capsule container. Fill a sink with warm water and add a few drops of dish soap. Let the drip tray and container soak in the soapy water for some time to remove gunk and stains. Rinse them with hot water, and then make use of a non-abrasive sponge cloth to scrub away any residues or stains. After scrubbing, wash the drip tray and capsule container and let them dry thoroughly before returning them to the machine.

After your machine has been cleaned, it is time to descale. Follow the instructions in your manual for a specific method. If not, you can make your own DIY descaling solution by using citric acid or white vinegar. If you're using vinegar, make sure to use white vinegar, not balsamic or apple vinegar, since they are too harsh for this task.
