De'Longhi Nespresso Lattissima Touch, Single Serve Capsule Coffee Machine, Automatic frothed milk, Cappuccino and Latte, EN560.W, 0.9liters, White

Product Information

We’ve heard some bone-rattling espresso machines in our testing, but these Lattissimas are not among them. Even some of the older Nespresso machines like the Pixie and the Inissia can stir a sleeping teenager on a Saturday morning, but these machines are right there with the quietest Nespresso units. They froth milk surprisingly well Moving onto milky drinks, the carafe attached easily, slotting into the steam connector – which has its own door that closes when it’s not in use – and took a few more seconds to heat up. The spout of the carafe folds in for storage but needs to be angled towards the cup when making drinks – forget to do it and it’ll dispense anyway. However, making a drink only required one touch of the latte macchiato or cappuccino button for warm foamy milk, then coffee. If you want a little more milk container capacity and the top-of-the-line digital touchscreen display, go with the Lattissima Pro.

For our money, OriginalLine machines are better than VertuoLine machines because their pump produces more authentic espresso, the coffee tends to be hotter, and there's no barcode scanning system meaning you can find less-expensive third-party capsules.

Nespresso Lattissima Touch Overview

Creatista machines with integrated frothing wands for a more manual frothing experience, as if you were a true barista Honestly, there aren’t many. We’ve mentioned that the icons representing different drinks can be hard to decipher at first. You will learn those eventually. It’s easy enough to do—it just slides out and you overturn it into your recycling—but it can get a bit messy because there are usually some coffee dregs pooled in the bottom. You’ll probably want to give the whole container a rinse each time, and you may need to wipe your counter if the container drips while you’re removing it. Again, not a huge deal, but it’s enough fuss on a groggy morning to make you want to do it as infrequently as possible. The Lattissima One is part of that first series (obviously), which is made up of 5 different models:

Both machines of the Lattissima series have a built-in container for waste pods. Lattissima Touch has the capacity of holding 10 used pods, while the Lattissima One can hold 9 used capsules in the container.The Lattissima Pro has its controls on a touchscreen display (below) embedded in the top of the machine. They offer the same beverages, plus one that the Touch does not: hot water (for tea, or perhaps topping up an Americano). All the machine components are completely dishwasher safe and must be cleaned right after brewing a cup of coffee because if you don’t the stains of milk and coffee will develop and become stubborn with time. Lattissima one has a dimension of 12.8 x 6.1 x 10.5 inches and a weight of just 9.2 pounds, it has a matte finish with moderate gloss and a solid chrome-plated lever. Along with having a great innovative and minimalist design, it brings modernity to its user. Both these machines come with a water hardness measuring strip that will give you a reading from your tap water. Once you know what it says, you can enter the information into the machine and it will provide you with an automatic reminder whenever it’s time to descale. They have a two-year warranty This article should convince you to use Nespresso Lattissima if you enjoy great and creamy espressos. They create fantastic espresso, but they’re also fantastic for making lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites at home.

The Lattissima Pro’s touchscreen display makes things a little more complicated. Gotta love technology! You press the “settings” icon on the display and then have to use arrows to scroll through the menu options to find volume programming. Once you get there, the text display provides instructions.

Across its range of home- and commercial-use capsule espresso machines, the central mechanics of Nespresso’s brewing system remain the same: The user loads an aluminum capsule of ground coffee. The machine pierces one end of the capsule and injects hot water at high pressure. The capsule ruptures at the other end, allowing brewed coffee to flow into a cup. Other important design features include a fast-heating boiler and automatic pressure release valve to ensure safety in the event of a clog. You have to descale a Nespresso machine every few months to remove any mineral deposits that your water has left inside the machine. Descaling just means running one or two brew cycles using an acidic cleansing solution, and then another couple to rinse the machine out. The frequency of this operation varies depending on how “hard,” or mineral-heavy, your water is. The carafe’s spout spurts a bit when dispensing, and also when using the cleaning cycle afterwards. After each milky drink is dispensed, the machine alerts that it needs cleaning, but fortunately there’s no need to do it each time. Cleaning requires a button to be held down while steam runs through so you can’t walk away, plus the carafe has to be disassembled and cleaned every couple of days. It’s dishwasher-safe, but washing by hand is more of a chore. Lattissima machines with integrated frothers that brew specialty beverages with the push of a single button

So, it is completely up to you which model you choose; the best option depends upon which feature you consider to be most vital for you. 6) Design and Convenience Lattissima Touch has a wider footprint with the same height and depth, the Lattissima Touch will take up slightly more space on your kitchen countertop. You can certainly get hot water from the Lattissima Touch, but it comes out of the same spout that brews your espresso. You just leave the coffee capsule out of it. This is OK for some things—you can make a nice Americano easily enough—but we found that a slight coffee taste remains when you dispense water after a brew. This isn’t ideal if you drink hot water with lemon, or even if you intend to brew tea.
