Design
The Nespresso Lattissima Plus is a stylish and trendy coffee machine. The silver color and classy features highlight the quality finish. It’s crisp, sophisticated and sure to fit in well with any style. The black and silver finish complement each other well, and the overall appearance is unique. It’s a compact design without being too squashed together, measuring 12.5 x 6.6 x 10.2 inches and weighing in at 14.2 pounds. The Lattissima Plus is sturdy and robust, with the quality of the design speaking volumes about its durability.
The water container is situated at the back of this Nespresso machine, with the milk reservoir located at the front of the machine which makes the Lattissima Plus rather striking and stands out from other coffee makers in its price range. Of course, this is also for functional purposes but does add to the aesthetic of the Lattissima Plus. Another significant aspect of this coffee machine is that it incorporates energy-saving technology, with an auto-off timer on it, helping to reduce cost and energy bills, showing De’Longhi care for their consumers and efficiency requirements.
Coffee Customisation
As expected from a Nespresso coffee machine, the Lattissima Plus is not short of outstanding features. As it is a Nespresso machine, this machine uses Nespresso-compatible capsules, without the option for using ground coffee. However, no ground coffee option means no mess! You don’t have to worry about tamping, extracting or grinding coffee with this machine, as the Lattissima Plus does everything for you! All you need to do is place the capsule in the machine at the top, make sure the milk container has milk in, put your cup under the nozzle and press the button of your choice in one simple touch. You won’t find many coffee machines for this price as easy to use, while still delivering that rich, fresh coffee taste.
There are different coffee options available for you on the Lattissima Plus. It comes with three milk and two coffee options to choose directly from the buttons on this coffee maker, so it’s got something to suit everyone. With 19 bars of pressure on the espresso extraction system, this Nespresso machine creates rich espressos cup after cup, full of flavor. If you’re more of a milky coffee drinker, the Lattissima Plus delivers in creating the perfect amount of creamy foam texture every time. How does it do this? The integrated carafe adjusts the amount of milk required accordingly and adds this into the extraction process. The result is a deliciously smooth and velvety coffee. The other great thing about the milk reservoir is it can be removed from the coffee machine and stored in the fridge. So you don’t have to waste time measuring out the perfect amount of milk as the Lattissima Plus does it for you.
With great coffee machines come great customization, so it’s no surprise that with the Lattissima Plus, an abundance of Nespresso coffee capsules is available in all sorts of flavors and strengths to suit you. You can also get these options in decaf if you desire, so you can choose the flavors you prefer. The Nespresso coffee of your choice is heated up in seconds in the Lattissima Plus, thanks to the Thermoblock heating system which speeds up the heating process. So, if you’re in a rush in the mornings but still need your morning coffee, the Nespresso Lattissima Plus creates the perfect cup with ease, and all you have to do is press a button.
Ease of Use
The Nespresso Lattissima Plus coffee maker is relatively easy to clean thanks to its removable parts and auto clean button. The milk frother is cleaned with the clean button by steaming out the excess milk so it doesn’t get clogged up and the milk tank itself is easily removed. Some customers have complained that the milk tank will smell if not washed often, so may mean higher cleanliness maintenance. But the milk tank is dishwasher safe, so it’s handy and efficient washing it this way. Furthermore, the water tank is removable and can be easily cleaned and the smooth finish quality means the Lattissima Plus is very easy to wipe clean. Once the capsules have been used, they drop down into a train which is simple to remove so the coffee pods can be emptied into the recycling with ease.
Its versatility does not compromise the ease-of-use of the Nespresso Lattissima Plus as a coffee machine. The one-touch buttons are comfortable to use, and every cup of coffee can be catered for thanks to the adjustable drip tray. Although some customers have commented on the 30 oz capacity water tank being too small for their needs, it’s plenty enough for numerous cups of coffee throughout the day and is easy to refill when required. For such a high-quality model, the Lattissima Plus comes with straightforward instructions making your coffee making experience practically effortless.
