NespressoCreatista Pro Automatic Pod Coffee Machine with milk frother wand for Espresso, Cappuccino & Flat White by Sage in Black Truffle

I’ve had the Sage Creatista Plus for three months now and loving it. I’ve tried a range of the Nespresso original coffees as well as those from other providers and not been disappointed with any but I think I’m more impressed with the Nespresso original and L’Or coffees. Out of the box the machine looks great and makes great coffee. It’s quick and simple to use and very easy to adjust the coffee to you preference in terms of volume and temperature, both of which I’ve turned up a bit to match my preference. It is very quick to heat up and provide a great range of drinks. The milk heating and frothing is spot on and so simple to use I found the out of the box setting OK if you wanted to drink your coffee right away but it left me wanting another in terms of volume. I’ve been a coffee pod user for a good number of years now, I have the Dolce Gusto both at home and in the office at work and that’s great still for a drink and filling my travel mug. But for enjoying a good cappuccino or nice lungo at home it’s got to be the Creatista, so much so that the Dolce Gusto is now only used for the travel mug and the kettle is now a redundant piece of kitchen equipment. The build quality of the machine is very good, as I’ve found with the other Sage products I own. It’s not had light use over the three months, it’s processed neary 300 pods since I’ve had it and there are no signs that it will have any problems carrying on. It’s not a silent machine, the pump and steam wand do make a noise but nothing excessive considering it’s a pump sat on a wooden surface. On the whole, a great piece of kit and worth every penny.

I bought this about 6 weeks ago as I wanted good quality coffee on the days I'm working from home without having to spend ages making it, or fork out on a takeaway. I love it so far, I have 1-2 coffees per day and it's so easy to use and then clean ready for the next use. It's made of a sturdy metal and the milk frother works very well, I mostly go for a cappuccino but there are several options for different types of coffee. It's a little pricey compared to some models but so worth it!

This is the ultimate Nespresso maker. Breville combined the best of the best, an excellent, super fast heating Nespresso capsule espresso maker, and a good solid steamer. Then put it all in a package that is gorgeous. And included really simple, intuitive controls.The instructions say, warms up in three seconds. Not 100% accurate, more like about 10 seconds from completely off to actually delivering espresso or steaming milk. That's far better than the standard Nespresso machines that take around two minutes to warm up.This uses a lot more electricity than the other models. The heating element and pump seem to be much larger. If your kitchen circuit is close to capacity, best to not run this and the toaster at the same time.There is a small learning curve and not everything is super high quality. The steamer is super easy to use. However after you steam milk, have a towel ready to wipe down the steamer right away. Because when you return the steam wand back to home, the steamer purges automatically. You want the milk off the wand before it purges.There are a couple of seemingly flimsy parts. The espresso tray feels kind of cheap. This is the little drawer that slides out for shorter cups, like an espresso cup. I would have loved the drawer to be spring loaded and to push out completely. Instead it bumps out a little bit and then you have to pull it out the rest of the way. The spent capsule tray has a loose fit - it just doesn't feel expensive.The selection knob works backwards - when you turn the knob clockwise, the selections move from right to left.The screen is easy to read. And the whole thing is infinitely adjustable. And super intuitive to make adjustments, unlike Nespresso machines that require some crazy button pressing to change the volume.This will make three espresso sizes - ristretto, espresso, and lungo. The volume for each of those can be adjusted, if you like your espresso slightly larger, well press the select button, and then turn the dial to increase the volume. It is as simple as that.It has four frothed milk drink settings - flat white - steamed milk with almost not foam (a cafe au lait) and espresso; cafe latte - steamed milk with a little bit of foam and espresso; cappuccino - truly steam foam and espresso; latte machiatto - combination milk on the bottom and foam on the top and espresso; and simply steam.For each of those drinks, the milk temperature and amount of foaming can be adjusted.The milk steaming / foaming is fully automatic. You pour milk into the included carafe, lift the steam wand with the ring, put the carafe in the machine, lower the wand, and the steaming starts automatically. No need to stir, or move the carafe. The head has multiple holes to stir the milk and foam at the same time. The Nespresso pump works to pump hot steam into the milk, and then a block heater creates high pressure steam at the end to finish the foaming. Temperatures are incredibly reproducible.The water reservoir is huge. About double the size of any other Nespresso machine. There is a unique low water indicator. The bottom tray holds a lot of overflow. There is a red float that pops up when the tray is filling up.I have owned and own many Nespresso machines. Starting with a D290 that was retired four years ago after making thousands of Nespresso. I used a Nespresso U for several months and gave that to my sister. I have a Essenza for travel. My wife has a Pixie at school. And the red Citiz is being replaced by this Creatista Plus. I have made thousands of Nespresso. In the long history, only one machine has ever acted up - that original D290, it actually still works, it just had trouble with preheating sometimes.By far, the best machine of all that I have ever used is this Creatista Plus. Everything came together exactly right with this machine. They got the steaming perfect. And it produces the correct temperature right from the very first espresso made. Other machines require a water only warm up. This machine does not.Best investment ever. The machine is sold by Breville - where ever you can find those appliances, you'll find this machine. The service and warranty are all covered by Nespresso.Truly a gorgeous machine.If you find my review helpful then please click helpful button below, as I write clear, concise reviews to help people to make a decision.
