The Nespresso Creatista Plus by Breville is a great appliance for people who love fancy custom espresso beverages — and spend big bucks on them at coffee shops. It has preprogrammed settings for making espresso, flat white, cappuccino, café latte, latte macchiato, ristretto, lungo and hot milk. It also lets you adjust the size of your drink and the temperature and froth level of your steamed milk.
Pop in a Nespresso pod, select a drink from the LED screen on top and the Creatista Plus will start brewing in seconds. When the coffee’s done, the machine will steam or foam your milk automatically to the ideal temperature of your selected beverage, so you don’t have to expertly maneuver a hot steel pitcher under a frothing wand. Best part? The frother runs an automatic cleaning cycle after you’re done brewing so milk won’t clog the pump.
Though it comes at a steep price, this Nespresso machine is a gorgeous, sleek stainless steel appliance and was a whizz at brewing creamy cappuccinos and velvety smooth lattes in our test.
