Nespresso Gran Lattissima EN650.W by De'Longhi, Single Serve Capsule Coffee Machine, Automatic frothed milk, Cappuccino and Latte, 1.3 liters, White

Product Information

The coffee drink quality of this machine is good overall; however, the coffee drink quality depends on the drink in question. Foamed milk recipes include the cappuccino and the latte macchiato. They do not contain hot milk, just milk foam. Just make sure when preparing milk-based drinks that you switch the milk frothing regulator to the "froth" position. Experience the height of coffee indulgence at the touch of a button with the new, beautifully designed, Nespresso Gran Lattissima. Featuring 9 One-Touch Recipes and brand new, patented fresh milk system technology, preparing your favorite Coffee and Milk drinks has never been easier. One-touch recipes include Ristretto, Espresso, Lungo, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Cafe Latte, Flat White, Foamed Milk and Hot Milk. The sliding drip tray allows for use of different glass sizes and, after use, the milk container can be removed and stored in the fridge until next use. Removable parts are dishwasher safe for simple cleaning. The 19 bar high-performance pump is the key to extracting the delicate flavor and premium aromas of each coffee capsule during the brewing process and creating incomparably dense crema. The fast heat up system has the machine ready to prepare your favorite recipe in just 25 seconds. Intuitive descaling system is programmable to your unique water hardness. The energy saving function automatically switches the machine off after 9 minutes of inactivity (programmable). The premium design of the Gran Lattissima features an elegant glass touch panel.

By the way, in our opinion, this coffee maker looks better in white. White also hides better dust and smudges.Also note, that this machine is easy to use, but the setup process can be time consuming. For example, it involves disassembling the Rapid Cappuccino System, washing its numerous components, drying them, and then re-assembling them. When not in use, you can remove it if you prefer the machine's looks without the RCS. You can store the removable milk container with any leftover milk in the fridge. While this coffee machine is expensive, it's a worthwhile investment for those who enjoy milky coffees. It has intuitive controls, a useful automatic shut-off function (after nine minutes) and it was speedy, so you won't be waiting long for your morning coffee. Key specifications The process is a bit messy, so you may need to clean the machine with a cloth afterward. Water tends to drip from the milk system spout. Flat milk recipes include the café latte and the flat white. However, given the nature of the Rapid Cappuccino System, there will be no micro-foam and the milk texture between these two drinks will be the same. So these drinks might feel a bit 'off'.

This is in contrast to slightly less automated machines with steam wands, such as the Nespresso Creatista Uno. There is a higher workload when preparing your coffee, as you need to manually pour the milk, but there will be less cleaning to do. It also leaves you with the possibility of purchasing re-usable Nespresso capsules, allowing you to buy and grind whole espresso beans. Fresh coffee beans will be much tastier than the coffee grounds contained in capsules, possibly for months. In terms of espresso drinks, the Gran Lattissima does well thanks to its powerful 19 bar pump. It also has the advantage of being part of the Nespresso OriginalLine. OriginalLine Nespresso machines are compatible with third party capsules, widening the selection of coffee types you can brew.Unfortunately, despite the name "Gran Lattissima", you cannot customize milk textures or temperatures with this Nespresso machine. You either get hot milk, or milk froth, at a single temperature. If your drink requires milk or foam, hold the button again for at least 3 seconds and then release it once the desired amount of hot milk or milk foam has been dispensed.
