20 Best Nespresso Machine For Lattes (2023 Updated)

Bought this machine online in week two of the pandemic shutdown, when it became clear that I was going to need a replacement for my daily coffeeshop runs. I selected this version based on the online reviews supplementing my own experiences with less elaborate Nespresso machines (at every AirBnB in Europe) as well as high end DeLonghi units at the homes of several friends.

My concern about the wastefulness of pods was addressed by Nespresso’s free system for recycling. The machine is well designed, sleek, and fits into the counterspace easily. Great system for winding up the cord to just the right length.

The variety of options is excellent. I’m a cappuccino girl and this doesn’t disappoint. The setup for milk foaming is much easier than other versions and works very well. Clean up at first seemed like alot, but quickly became a 2 minute routine.

I recommend purchasing a baby bottle dishwasher basket for easiest cleaning/sterilizing of the various pieces of the milk steamer. As for the coffee, I’m loving the taste/preparation of the espresso and cappucinos.

They are the perfect size and proportions of milk/foam to coffee. These are not ‘Starbucks sizes’, but rather the version you would receive at a cafe in Italy. When I need more, I just do it twice into the same cup (with a new pod).

As the weather has warmed I’ve easily transitioned to adding ice. It’s fun to experiment with the various coffee types – I recommend Columbia for a smooth finish. Better-Stevia makes liquid sweeteners with flavors that are also fun to add.

Overall, this has been a wonderful, if pricey addition to my kitchen counter. With the possibility of working from becoming a long term scenario, I will have plenty of time to offset the cost with a reduction in my coffee shop visits.

As a coffee connoisseur for 15+ years and being someone who will drive hours to try a new coffee shop, I can honestly say this machine creates the closest thing to authentic coffee shop lattes! The keurig latte machine I was using prior to this, does not even compare.

I am convinced the negative reviews on this machine, are by users who either are unsure of how the machine operates, or who don’t see the value in making an investment in good coffee. Yes, the Nespresso pods are pricier than K-cups or ground coffee, but they should be.

They taste amazing and the quality is top notch. Plus, it’s still cheaper than buying a $5 latte every day and the taste is on the same level. They also make refillable pods just like keurig, and though I don’t have one of those yet (simply because I can justify the cost of the Nespresso pods), from what I’ve read on reviews, the machine still produces amazing quality coffee with the signature Nespresso crema on top! Starbucks also makes vertuo compatible pods that are sold at target.

So for the person who said they can only be used with Nespresso pods, that is false. Also, to people who think the clear glass pictured next to the frother in the stock photo is supposed to be included in the box, it’s not.

That is a Nespresso brand coffee glass that can be purchased off of their website. It’s just there to show what a cup of the machines brewed coffee looks like. Now for those individuals who says the machine “didn’t work” I’d be willing to guarantee that the complications were based off human error.

The operation of this machine is much different than keurig, but with practice becomes second nature. When you close the lid, you have to be sure to turn the clip to the left to lock it, before pressing the “brew button” or else your coffee will not brew.

Also need to make sure the water tank is full, or same issue will arise. I’ve done that a time or two lol! Overall, the machine is great, the pods are great (just have to find your flavor), and this has now become a necessity in my house! Buy it! You’ll never look back!.

It’s your normal espresso machine. Made well by Nespresso, has two buttons (one for a short espresso, one for a long espresso, and you turn it on by pushing either of them), and basically that’s it. You can’t choose your mug size, so if you don’t want an espresso you have to keep on clicking it evey time it’s done pouring an espresso amount of coffe.

It doesn’t have a milk frother, you have to buy it separately and it’s a whole nother full sized item on your counter, plus you can’t make latte art in your coffee with it because the froth is too thick.

The machine’s water tank is pretty small, it’s good for 2-3 cups of coffee (in regular mugs, not 3 espresso shots). In my opinion, it’s better for people who just drink whatever coffee there is, and not for real coffee lovers.

The lack of diversity in the coffee making proccess makes every cup poured from it feel the same, there is no personal adjustment for your coffee to your liking, and you are very limited with the veriaty of coffee because you are only supposed to use Nespresso capsules in it.

Yes, as it turns out, you can’t use any other brands’ capsules even if they are made to be used in a Nespresso machine, because you will lose your warranty by doing so! In conclusion, it’s a standard espresso machine, it wotks well, but I don’t really recommend it unless you only drink espresso and you LOVE Nespresso’s capsules.

The coffee really depends on what you are buying ( i recommend strong one with intensity 7+) but in general is good. Its easy to clean after each usage. The milk canister has some problems sometimes after you have done its cleaning as it won’t dispense milk for a couple of seconds until it pumps milp from the reservoir.

When trying to make “special” coffee its kinda bad as you will only have little milk so you will still have to add some afterwards (at least it has 2 functions for adding milk). It doesn’t compare to what the real deal coffee machines are, but its doing its job well as i didn’t want a coffee machine that need that much cleaning (i live in a student housing).

I love coffee. I got this machine first when it comes on market. At the time my husband didn’t drink coffee. After he tried some from machine he was hooked. We have tried vertuo version for long coffee but taste wasn’t same.

Machine is very easy to clean with press button, once in six month descaling. Nespresso servis is brilliant. In their shop you can try coffee and buy it. Also you can order online and recycle your empties.

I am always excited which new limited flavours will come to try.

I’ve been a user of Nespresso products for more than 10 years and have been very happy with their products and customer service. I recently received the Latissima Gran as a gift and unfortunately I was quite disappointed.

The coffee itself was not as hot as my two older machines and the milk frothing unit never worked properly even after having the frothing unit replaced by Nespresso. I ended up returning the unit and customer service at both Bloomingdales and Nespresso was outstanding.

I really felt like both companies wanted to make things right. I will continue to use Nespresso products but I would recommend using a basic Nespresso machine and complimenting it with a separate milk frothing device.

Your results will be more consistent and easily adjusted to your personal tastes. As well you will save money.

I’ve had several Nespresso original capsule machines. This one is by far the best. It makes an exceptional cup of espresso (I use Peets Ristretto capsules) and the frother is well worth the money. The machine not as noisy as my others have been, but isn’t quiet, by any means.

That’s the only con I’ve found. It’s a simple machine for a simply perfect cappuccino. Absolutely worth it, since I am clueless on the use of regular espresso machines. Clean up is very easy. The “trash” portion where used capsule fall is large, and will hold around 7-8 used capsules before needing to be emptied.

I highly recommend this machine over the Nespresso brands, which are pricier and mostly plastic. They are also made by the same companies. BB & B has the best sakes and coupons to save you even more money one it.

A very nice machine the coffee blends are nice it comes with an assortment of capsules that are very easy to use. Beware of the offer on at present though of 100 free capsules you have to go to the nespresso site to get it and they ask for proof of purchase in the form of a receipt which you don’t get with Amazon.

The capsules however on this machine are new therefore a lot more expensive than the older machines it works out over a pound a cup, which I think is expensive for home use. There are alternatives though which I’m exploring at the moment such as refilling the pods with my own ground coffee, I will update my review when I have had time to experiment with it.

One final observation if you like lattes this machine doesn’t do them it’s designed for cold milk or black coffee use, it would have been a nice touch for nespesso to have added the milk pods as in earlier machines.

The machine itself I recomend.

Quality, design and taste I have been using this coffee maker for a while thanks to the fact that it was given to me. To begin with I will say that the design of the machine is perfect, I like the shape and color.

It is large without being excessive and the coffee it prepares is magnificent. In addition, thanks to the aeroccino, you can make different varieties (lattes, foam, cappuccinos. ) and you will enjoy it if you are a latte enthusiast.

It is fast, easy to clean and handle. The capsule system is an advantage, because that way you don’t have to grind coffee to enjoy it. The only thing is that its price seems a bit excessive to me, although it is true that it is an investment to be able to enjoy in the long run.

In short, it is a great coffee maker with a great design.

The coffee it produces is great quality coffee. The ends up with a nice amount of crema, which people say is a sign of a properly brewed coffee… so that’s good. The machine heats up quickly and the coffee is ready within a minute or two.

So definitely another plus there. For me, I tend to use our machine maybe once a week… and that’s mainly because of the cost of the actual pods. When you are a 4-5 cup a day person, it’s a lot cheaper to brew a large pot of coffee instead of 4-5 of the belted so pods.

Also, I’m really not a fan of the waste it produces. Thanks know you can return the pods, and we do it’s just not great. Another great thing about this machine and the coffee is that the decaf coffee is amazing and that is usually what I use this for it when you want a great decaf coffee at night and don’t want to do a whole pot.

I would say that is the number one reason why I love this machine. The milk frothed that came with the machine is also a great little add on. It is able to make hot and cold froth within 30 seconds of so and can even do it with almond milk which is great!.

I purchased this machine as a Christmas gift for my family. We absolutely love it. It’s performance and the hot temperature it provides. And we really enjoy the different flavor of coffee flavors that Nespresso offers.

The frothy foam is great also. Delivers a adequate amount of foam. Great for making lattes and mochas which we wanted as fancy coffee drinks. We have saved so much money with this great little machine.

Haven’t had the need to go to a Starbucks which is close by because of the different type of flavored coffee we can enjoy right here at our home environment. The price is right and it fits perfectly under our kitchen counter.

You can’t go wrong with this awesome Espresso machine. Try it? You’ll love it !!!.

I was gifted a Vertuo Next in December of 2020, by April of 2021, it was leaking all over my counter every time I made a cup of coffee. Come to find out, this is a common problem with the Vertuo Next.

So much so, that when I called customer service, they offered to send me a new machine (but the customer service rep told me he wanted to send me an Evoluo because it has less issues lol). I appreciated how promptly customer service fixed this issue.

I sent my Next machine back to Nespresso and received the Evoluo in June of 2021. I had been using this machine since around July of 2021. It was great!. at first. In March of 2022, I started noticing an off taste in my coffee.

A bitter, burnt, chemical taste. I did my research. I descaled the machine, multiple times. I switched milk and sugar brands. I tried testing all variables. It was the coffee. I bought new Vertuo pods.

Maybe the pod batch I had was “off?” I started using filtered water. Nothing changed. I ran the cleaning cycles, multiple times thinking maybe the machine didn’t rid itself of all the descaling agent.

Nothing changed. The coffee still tasted like trash. I thought. maybe I had Covid?! Maybe my taste buds were the issue. I had friends try my coffee, they all could barely swallow one sip. So now, I have a second Nespresso machine.

Who even knows what’s wrong with it? I can’t figure it out. I tried changing everything. I called customer service. they said they could give me a 30% off coupon to buy a new machine. But do I really want to take that risk? I have $60 worth of Nespresso Vertuo pods I can’t use right now, because my machine makes coffee that tastes like burnt chemicals.

What’s a girl to do? I like Nespresso coffee, I like the recycling program they offer. But the machines. which is the. most important aspect, kinda suck. The whole office at my work knows what a thorn in my side Nespresso has been.

I guarantee they’ll never buy one either.

How does this have no reviews?! I’m shocked! I’m a huge espresso lover and after getting all the fancy do it yourself machine’s (including Breville) I decided to try this one based solely on the fact that I found my espresso pod.

Yes I’m going to say it…. I’m a Starbucks girl BUT I only like one drink and it’s not fluffy. I only like Starbucks’ Blonde Espresso with milk. So a strong latte. Tried EVERYTHING to get that taste. Bought the Starbucks blonde beans and the fancy machine.

Well guess what? I didn’t even come close. Found out they sold blonde Starbucks Nespresso pods and decided to give it a try. Bought this machine and let me tell you…WOW just WOW! This machine produces the BEST blonde espresso.

I never in a million years would have thought I would say I love my Starbucks coffee at home now. It’s the honest truth. It tastes so much better than Starbucks! Shocking as I was going every single day for YEARS to Starbucks.

I’m one happy girl. I suggest finding your pod first but this is my second nespresso machine and I like it so much better than the Nespresso brand ones. Breville just seems to make a nice product.

I’ve had this machine for 4 months and I wish I could have purchased it’s ancestor from 5 years ago that worked much better! Within 1 month of using it, it quit working. Apparently the board inside was defective.

Had to wait 10 days for Nespresso to check on it and issue me a new one. No compensation offered, customer service didn’t seem to care. You cannot adjust the coffee amount when making a Cappuccino (you could with older machines, so not sure why that was changed).

It barely pours any coffee so I have to press the espresso button every time after it makes me my drink to get more. You can however modify the expresso and long coffee buttons. Someone thought it would be a great idea to have a milk sensor on this machine to detect when there is milk in the container.

If the milk you use is too light, the sensor does not detect it and you cannot make a Cappuccino. I only had fat free milk for a couple of mornings and couldn’t make myself my Cappuccino. You thought that’d be a good idea? The machine is not consistent at making milk foam either.

Some days it does, some days it’s straight hot milk in the cup. Go figure. You have a lot of maintenance to do with this machine too! Every time you use it, you are supposed to clean the milk container through the machine then in your sink! So coffee enjoyment time: 2min, cleaning time 10min.

The water container fills up very quickly. Maybe 6-8 coffees and it’s full. So don’t forget to empty it often otherwise you’ll have water everywhere. Overall very disappointed by this machine. The old ones (that I still use at home) are way better! Prices have gone up, quality has drastically gone down.

More complicated than our previous machine and can still only make one at a time. Also the milk pod is a fiddly faff to clean. The machine itself is a bit stroppy; refuses to produce coffee when it’s demanding descaling which in a very soft water area is a bit redundant.

Takes 10 mins to complete and once’s it’s decided to run the program it won’t do anything until it’s done! Also milk pod demands cleaning, sometimes after a single use and have to trick the machine in to thinking it’s been done to produce second cup.

Would I buy again? No I’d buy a Sage next but does it do it’s job? Yes nice easy coffee and doesn’t break. Looks pretty.

This is the first coffee machine I have ever gotten. The capsule coffee maker is the cheapest and easiest of the coffee makers. As a coffee lover starting out I think the value for money is right. After all, a good coffee machine costs tens of thousands of dollars, yet you don’t know how much use you’ll get out of it? Or if you love the coffee that comes out of that machine? Many people say that capsule coffee is expensive, and I’ve even seen people grinding their own coffee beans and putting them in old capsules? I think that’s cheap enough, or at least way cheaper than having a cup of coffee outside.

If you are a heavy coffee lover who needs a cup every day, you can really save a lot of money over the course of a year. Personally, I don’t think this coffee maker has any drawbacks, the taste and temperature is just right, but the milk frother needs to be cleaned manually after each use, so it’s a bit of a hassle.

(Because of the lack of cleaning, fresh milk residue can make the quality of this machine easily go bad. ).

I love this little espresso machine and the sample of pods that came with it. I was able to find 2 flavours that I really love, which would have been difficult otherwise because I would have been buying 10-packs.

The quality of espresso is lovely. I find it quite different from my stovetop espresso maker in the flavours it produces, but with the machine there’s never any residue in my cup and there’s more crema.

The compact size is amazing and totally a selling point. It will not take up much counterspace and has a handle that makes it easy to store away if you prefer. The water reservoir is a good size and easy to clean or dump out.

I love that you can customize the pour length. It is noisy and the design for dropping in the pods is not intuitive and could benefit from a little pod shaped silhouette to show how to drop it in for first-time users.

Overall, I’m very satisfied. I would absolutely recommend this machine, unless noise is a serious concern. I don’t think it would wake a baby, but an adult with their bedroom on the other side of the wall? Possibly.

WHY IS THERE NO LOW WATER WARNING LIGHT ON MY NEW PIXIE (Titanium by Breville)??!!! I loved my original Pixie (Aluminum, I think made by De’Longi) it served me beautifully for a decade. I decided to get another Pixie because of how well the last one served me, and I know all the quirks and what to expect.

Unpacking my new Pixie I realized they have changed a few things. There’s no power button anymore, small thing, but it is a downgrade. My BIG problem with this unit is it will let you run it out of water, there is no red warning light as before, no low water shut down as before.

It just keeps running, trying in vain to pump water/espresso while making a horrible grinding noise. Because there was no light. By the time I realized the situation there was a bad air lock in the unit and it took me 15 minutes of great frustration before I cleared the air in the system.

HOW MUCH DID YOU SAVE IN MANUFACTURING COSTS TO JUSTIFY MAKING A PRODUCT LESS FUNCTIONAL THAN IT USED TO BE??!!!.

I love this machine. I got it off of eBay and it was used as the “show model” for wherever it was on display. This machine has been with me since 2015 and 7 years later, I still love it. The milk frothed works, but not as well as the picture.

I would rate the frother 2. 5 out of 5. It basically squirts steamed milk into my coffee. The frother works best with cow milk and not plant based milk. I prefer coconut milk, so I don’t use the milk frother at all.

Honestly, that is the only complaint I have had after 7 years. Old Faithful still brews the PERFECT cup of hot coffee, with a 1/2 inch of foam on top all these years later. The quality of coffee brewed has ruined me for anything less.

I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of this machine and would buy another in a heartbeat. Minimal maintenance or deep cleaning required. I can’t believe I’ve had it so long!.

The Lattissima Pro is delightful to use and makes delicious coffee every time. At first, I thought the milk frother was not working correctly. Simply take the frother apart to clean at least once weekly in the dishwasher area for fragile items, or, place in hot water to soak for 10-15 minutes.

Since I have been cleaning the milk frother properly, it works beautifully. I highly recommend this machine!.

I’ve been using the Lattissima Pro for a couple years now and it’s a great system. I keep it clean and wash the parts so milk don’t have a chance to dry up and clog anything. I reprogramed the water outputs to match how we like our coffee and even the hot water dispenser for tea.

It’s great, no issues. I use only Nespresso pods and the Starbuck ones made by Nespresso you can purchase in the grocery store.

My wife and I met at the coffee shop where she used to work as a barista. We have tried variety of coffee machines over the years but none of them come anywhere close to this one. It makes perfect milk and any coffee we tried from those little cups was awesome with exception of may be couple of flavors.

It can do restretto, espresso, lungo shots and if you set it up on a max lungo it makes 6 oz cup of coffee so it is not just an espresso machine. We love it and highly recommend to buy it at Best Buy because they always have the best customer service and the best deals with their 20% coupons!.

Love the machine, milk frother is great, can consistently get exactly what you want. Great that you can personalise your desired beverage set it and then get it every morning. Need two pods to get the same amount of coffee you would get from a barista, but that is not a real issue.

Fast to make a cup and easy to keep clean.

I love this little guy. Fits perfectly on the countertop in a small kitchen. It looks great and works fantastic. It pours regular and long shots. I tend to always pour a long shot being it has more water in it.

This machine is easy to clean! If you live somewhere with hard water, make sure Tom get their descaling solution and doing it every 6 months.

I wanted to update my comments since Nespresso finally resolved my ‘promotion’ issue and I went ahead and ordered coffee on-line. If you buying this machine be aware that retails stores sell compatible Starbucks Virtuoline pods but you won’t find Nespresso brand.

Unless you have a boutique handy then it is on-line ordering only. Minimum quantity is 10 per coffee flavour (boxed) and an order minimum also applies (50). For free shipping the order value required is over $99 or so.

When my order arrived (very quickly despatched I have to say) I was disappointed to see a ‘Best Before’ of October 2022. (8 months but then it’s only a guide) Our default coffee maker is a Bonavita drip model so the Nespresso is not used as often so 80 pods is a lot of coffee! Very pleased with the quality of the coffee so far and it is such an easy machine to use.

Go ahead and buy one for sure, but just be aware of the consumable supply issue I have outlined above.

The new Nespresso Virtuo machine is such a great product, not only can you make both coffee and espresso in this machine it now lets you customize your cup sizes which is such a bonus! The pods themselves come in three different sizes for espresso, coffee, and travel cup size.

The machine itself is gorgeous, I have the graphite color and it looks incredible. Not only does it look good the machine is so well built, each part is well thought out and all the pieces are constructed very strong.

No part of this machine is flimsy and you know you’ve got a great product for your money. It would be nice if you could fill your own pods and not have to buy only Nespresso products but that’s probably a smart move for Nespresso to keep you coming back.

Ideally it would be nice to be able to buy the pods locally from where you buy the machines and not have to order them online but they have such a great online system that it’s really of little inconvenience.

Overall this machine has really changed the way I view coffee and espresso, for anyone who hasn’t tasted the difference between and Nespresso coffee and one would you would get out of another K-Cup machine, the way the technology brews the coffee with the centrifusion technology changes the way the coffee tastes and the crema that is produced.

The taste is so different that many times all you can use less milk products or cream and much less sugar than I would put in my normal coffee.

If it were easier to buy the pods I’d give it 5 stars. I have to buy the Starbucks ones in stores (luckily I like them) because you have to do a minimum 50$ purchase online. That aside, I really like this coffee maker – makes a great cup/espresso every time, I only drink iced coffee so this makes it strong enough that I can enjoy with milk, cream flavouring and it’s the perfect balance every time even without measuring everything.

It’s also super quick easy to clean this machine, to fill up the water and remove used pods + clean the drip tray. Side note: I bought mine for 100$ + tax CDN (on sale) it came with a variety pack to try, I didn’t like most of the trial pods, there were 2 I really liked made sure to write them down for when I do order one day.

You can get the pods on Amazon at Winners at a discount but the quality isn’t the greatest, so I just buy the Starbucks ones at Independent or Wal*Mart. It’s possible to buy a metal refill pod but it’s a hassle to clean fill.

I also have an espresso/latte/cappuccino maker but I prefer the Nespresso one for convenience my large iced coffee cup fits underneath, whereas it doesn’t fit under my other maker.

We had the Lattissima Pro and bout the Grand Lattissima for our new kitchen remodel. Big mistake. I wish I had the Pro back. Lots of design flaws. Water tank not as big, spout for milk can easily move and dispense milk outside the cup.

Having trouble with the latte setting, it dispenses the foam but now not the milk. The pod container is now a two part system that catches the drippings but if you don’t take it apart when you dump the pods you get the drainage all over the floor.

Overall, not a good machine.

I’ve always wanted a Nespresso. This is the one. I’ve had about 50 flat whites (in my opinion, the best thing it makes!) since getting it. There’s definitely a learning curve – I did read the entire manual before starting to learn how to properly disassemble it and clean it – but once you figure it out it’s very straightforward.

For instance, the milk holder breaks down into 6 parts and requires dishwashing to sanitize every two days. Of course this makes sense – you don’t want rotten dairy anywhere in your machine – but do know that there’s a little bit of work and cleanup every time you use the machine.

That said, the coffee is spectacular. It’s fast, delicious, and the frothing feature is fantastic. It is legitimately coffee shop quality coffee in your home in seconds. Great for parties or after dinner when you have a lot of people.

In short, we’re hooked and highly recommend – just don’t be under the impression that it’s something that is as simple to use as a single serve coffee maker if you’re using the milk feature. (note – you don’t have to – you can make coffee without the milk, but what fun is that).

This beautiful machine does it all! Pros: (1) SUPER EASY TO USE! It makes your coffee/espresso, it steams the milk, it foams the milk — all with the press of just one button. My favorite drink is the latte macchiato that has steamed milk, espresso, and the foam on top.

If there is milk leftover in the milk container, just pop it off and store in the fridge for your next latte. (2) TASTES AMAZING. It seriously tastes as good or better than any $5 latte at a fancy coffee chain.

(3) SO FAST! The machine is so fast. It takes about 30-40 seconds for the latte to be made! (4) EASY TO CLEAN! This is the most surprising feature. Instead of having to take apart and clean lots of components, the milk dispenser has a self-cleaning feature so with the press of one button, you can clean the milk dispenser mechanisms to keep the tubes clean.

(5) BEAUTIFUL on my countertop. The footprint is pretty compact and it just looks so neat and clean on my kitchen countertop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!.

I decided to treat myself to an upgrade from the Citiz which is still going strong after two and a half years but meant that I had to heat and froth milk by hand. Oh my! I’m so glad that I abandoned the hand-held frother method which had me continually replacing unreliable gadgets! This machine is superb.

You just choose your drink option at the touch of a button and can personalise (and save) coffee amount, milk heat and amount of froth and more of each type of drink. It isn’t too noisy and the sound of the milk being prepared makes you feel like a barista! Coffee at home never tasted so good! Only downside is that I want to drink more!.
