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

Fully automated espresso machines like this one have inner components where the milk circulates. So a thorough cleaning is very important to avoid your machine becoming a thriving bacteria colony.

Just make sure when preparing milk-based drinks that you switch the milk frothing regulator to the "froth" position. The Nespresso Gran Lattissima espresso machine is extremely easy to use, thanks to its 9 one-touch tactile buttons each representing a different drink. 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. 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.

Top features:

The Gran Lattissima comes with a stand to elevate the platform where your espresso cup would go. This is a thoughtful feature since it'll help keep your espresso hot. 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'.

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.You will also notice the Rapid Cappuccino System (RCS) prominently featured in front - it looks like a milk container with a spout coming out from its side. Compared to other super automatic espresso machines that can brew espresso and steam/froth milk, the Gran Lattissima is considered a compact machine. It is only 7.9 inches wide and only 10.8 inches in height. So it should fit on most kitchen counters and under most kitchen cabinets. You can also create a custom drink if the recipes by De'Longhi do not suit your definition of a particular drink. This machine is made of several materials. It has some stainless steel and plastic with matte and high gloss finishes. The top of the machine features a glass touch panel, with 9 one-touch buttons for easy preparation of 9 different drinks (2 of those are hot milk and milk froth so we don't consider them coffee drinks).

By the way, in our opinion, this coffee maker looks better in white. White also hides better dust and smudges. 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. 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. In terms of milk drinks, the Gran Lattissima can either dispense hot milk (flat milk), or milk foam.You could brew an espresso shot separately, and then use the one-touch hot milk or milk foam buttons (and program these as well) to create your favorite milky drink. 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
