Nespresso Original Gran Lattissima Espresso Machine by De'Longhi, Black

This is a high quality Nespresso machine. While some coffee drinkers scoff at anything that is not hand ground and individually pulled expresso, the rest of us just want a good cup of coffee with little fuss. This machine fits the bill; and I personally like the variety of blends Nespresso and its compatible capsules offer; I'd have to have a dozen bags of coffee at home to get even close. I've also been a long term Nespresso fan, and still using my original Cube that is now 10 years old and still making great coffee. I also like that it uses the original capsules, since there are alternatives at various price points, compared to the proprietary Verto. It offers multiple different styles, with the built in frother adding to the versatility and choices. It also has several settings for the amount of coffee made, so you can do everything from an expresso shot to an Americano. The frother is removable, so you can keep the milk fresh between uses. One tip the lady at the Nespresso store where I bought gave me was to remove and clean the soft plastic hoses inside the milk frother and leave them out as the cold can cause issues with them if left for an extended period in a refrigerator. I like the convenience and versatility of this machine. It is well built and I am looking forward to using it for a long time. As for value, it depends on what you want. Nespresso and its licensees make a range of products at various price points, all of which deliver the same coffee, just have fewer bells and whistles. If you want everythig, this is the machine that delivers it.

Great espresso and latte but does require regular maintenance. Bought 3/25 and still working. We use it several times every day. The ability to ship the spent pods for recycling free via UPS is very appealing -- no plastic in the trash as with Keurig. Also the pods are aluminum so no plastic in your coffee.

Do not buy this item. I had my Lattisima Plus for over 10 years and from time to time I had issues with the Frother but nothing like this item. Just 3 months in this machine does not Froth properly. I got on with support and they told me I would have to pay for a new frother even though I know that is not the issue. It is the machine itself as the frother has hardly anything coming out. Nespresso knows they have this issue as I see so many with the same issue yet they are not immediately replacing the item this will be the last Nespresso product I ever buy.

Amazing little machine! Makes it so much easier and faster to make coffee shop style drinks at home!

*** this is an update of the product. The milk froth it is not working, after only 3 month of use. I am the only person using the machine, with a single capuchino, not every day, and always cleaning after the single use.. I do not recommend it because it is a lot of money value for only 3 month of use*** I was looking for a coffee machine to I found this one!! This coffee machine is amazing, I had other model and I upgrade it to this beauty and I am so happy. The coffee taste it is amazing and the temperature of the coffee como out really hot. Easy to clean, and super easy to make good variety of coffee!

I usually drink A cup each morning but since I got this and it is SO EASY I am drinking 3 or 4!

It’s smaller than I expected. You can barely fit a mug on it. and the frother isn’t good. It’s just disappointing for the price I paid:/

I wish I would have realized that the writing/directions to use are written so small, I had to either take a pic & look on my phone to enhance it or use a magnifying glass. Written by a 52 y/o.
