Ranking Every Nespresso Machine From Worst To Best
BY AYOMARI
15. Vertuo Next
Made with 40% recycled plastic, Nespresso's Vertuo Next is affordable, looks attractive, and offers brew capacity of up to 18 ounces but falls short on performance.
It's prone to going haywire within a few months after purchase. Other complaints include brewing suddenly stopping after the first cup, water leakages, and over-rattling.
14. Gran Lattissima
The Gran Lattissima is stylish, takes up less space, whips up lattes and flat whites, and has a built-in frother, but it still isn't free from user complaints.
It lacks in the crema department, and its pod-style can't brew authentic espresso. It produces inconsistent cup amounts, needs heavy descaling, and can't make the water hot enough.
13. Lattissima One
Unlike Gran Lattissima, Lattissima One is limited to espressos, lungos, cappuccinos, and latte macchiatos and carries a $399.99 price tag. It also rattles a lot.
It requires frequent cleaning as well. The froth from the machine tends to have a weak consistency and spurts out messily, splattering countertops in the process.
12. Creatista Pro
Creatista Pro offers a steam pipe for milk frothing, various programmable milk-based coffee recipes, and a streamlined cleaning system with an auto-purge function.
It has a luxurious look and is priced at $849.99. People have complained that when plugged into a 110 to 120-volt outlet, you can't steam milk and brew coffee simultaneously.
11. Vertuo Creatista
The Vertuo Creatista is a stainless steel beauty that brews six hot or iced coffee sizes. It has a large water tank, and the capsule container holds 16 pods.
Its highlight is the integrated steam wand that creates a creamy froth. Regarding cons, it's priced highly at $699.99 and may also leak water if the tank isn't positioned properly.
