Nespresso Gran Lattissima Black Coffee Machine

I’ve had my Lattissima Touch for 4 or 5 years, used it almost every day and it’s still going strong! Milk comes up very puffy and light. You can also do some programming to the machine easily, to set the desired amount of water so the machine will remember exactly how you like your coffee. These machines allow anyone to brew a quality espresso/ double espresso/ cappuccino/ macchiato/ latte in just over a minute. It heats up super fast, it’s easy to clean, and it’s a gorgeous looking machine! Yes it’s not a silent machine, it does make a bit of noise while it’s brewing, but absolutely not loud at all. Considering the ongoing capsule costs, they’re actually much cheaper than a daily trip to the coffee shop.Lattissima Touch is worth it because of its combination of ... MoreI’ve had my Lattissima Touch for 4 or 5 years, used it almost every day and it’s still going strong!

It’s a very complete machine with multiple brewing options, reliable, excellent heat temperature, a beautiful design, and has a 2-year warranty! Hands down 10/10. #coffeeclub #Influenster #Voxbox #cozystyle #cozycup #photography #influenstereats #travel

The suggestion is for skim milk, but the manual also says that one can use vegetable milk.Operation is easy with 8 different coffee-based beverages, an option for hot milk or foam. Preheat time is minimal, and you are ready to go in about 20 seconds for coffee and another 10-15 seconds for milk-based beverages. The touch panel lights light up according to what is available meaning if you don’t have the milk unit plugged in these selections do not light up.Cleaning is easy, there is a descaling process when the descaling alert show on the machine. Using purified/filtered water will, of course, extend the time for when this is needed. Cleanup after making your beverages is easy – pop the capsule into the temp storage bin which holds about 10. Rinse the coffee area with the ‘Lugo” button and if you used the milk container it is a quick turn of the nob on top of the container to clean and push the clean button. You can keep the remaining Milk (if any) in the container in the fridge and your top unit of the container has been steamed cleaned.The coffee pods are compact and professionally designed, well made and have good coffee products inside. One can tell these are well thought out convenient and quality made pods. The convince of the system to pop pods into the temp container and popping in a new pod is safe and wonderful, especially when making more than one beverage.The sample pods give you a wide selection to try different mixes. The machine is capable of being reprogramed to fit your own profile, but I found it works well for me with the factory settings.The only bad thing I have to say about this product is the manual. It is not well thought out. Some pages are a single language, some are stacked two different languages with different intensity of print and the fonts are selected to make it fancy not clear to read. This makes it hard to speed read, as the other language gets in the way of what you’re looking at. Just split the manual up into the different languages, and things can be accessed much better.And maybe not so bad a thing is the quality and ease of use ends up with me having a couple more beverages in a day!

Barista quality at the touch of a button! Perfect!

The Nespresso De’Longhi Gran Lattissima Coffee maker has really improved the quality of my coffee drinking experience. I love the compact Barista machine design and its ability to work quickly while providing optimum results. This machine is very easy to keep clean which surprised me due to the fact that it can steam and froth milk. Its sleek design looks great in the kitchen and would be perfect for a coffee bar also.The unboxing was very easy and the setup was just as much of a breeze. This machine has a water reservoir that holds 33.8 fl oz, at max fill, and calls for filtered water, which I assume will increase the flavor quality of your espresso and reduce mineral build up in the machine. The reservoir easily lifts off the base for refilling and cleaning. The ... MoreThe Nespresso De’Longhi Gran Lattissima Coffee maker has really improved the quality of my coffee drinking experience.

The reservoir easily lifts off the base for refilling and cleaning. The milk reservoir holds 16.9 fl oz and calls for skim milk to provide optimal results. You can keep milk in the reservoir for up to a week as long as it is removed from the machine and stored in the refrigerator. The milk container is simple to disassemble and dishwasher safe.You are given a choice of 8 different coffee based beverages, an option for hot milk and an option for hot foam. No beverage seems to take longer than about 25 seconds to make which I love because most of the non-traditional coffee makers out there require a long preheat time. After making a milk based beverage you simply remove your cup, place an empty cup below the milk steaming spout and turn the dial to the clean icon; after about 10-15 seconds it has been sanitized and ready to be placed back into the fridge.The Nespresso pods are a great compact size and easily drop into the lift-top chamber. After your beverage has been made simply raise the Nespresso pod lid and the used pod will drop down into a removable waste pod receptacle. The removable used pod receptacle holds about 10 pods which has me emptying it about once a week. I greatly appreciate this design because it doesn’t force you to remove a hot pod with your hands if you want to make two drinks back-to-back.With most new beverage making appliances I expect for the first few drinks to taste a little like plastic or metal but not this machine. The first drink I tried was a flat white and it was perfect! The roast of the coffee was bold without being burnt or overly acidic, the milk was smooth without being too hot and the option of frothed foam topped it off to create an exquisite drink.I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting something close to having your very own Barista in your kitchen.

Didn't like the mix of portions and user manual difficult

On the strength of it getting good reviews with Which? magazine, I purchased this to replace an old machine. Frankly, I was disappointed - the portions of coffee and milk (which affected the taste) were poor and the user manual difficult to follow. I eventually found that you could vary the amounts, but I knew I would find the process described to do this quite irritating. If you have good perseverance then perhaps this is for you but not for me. I sent it back and ordered a replacement - an alternative, more simple model which, to-date, I have yet to receive,

Don't buy it!!!

I bought this machine with high hopes and excitement. I loved the different choices of coffee beverages I could make with it. However, just less than a week into using it, the frother started having problems. I googled and saw that others had experienced the same problem. Though I shouldn't have had the problem, I thought maybe cleaning the frother would help. It didn't. Very disappointed. Returned it. Told the cashier not to put it back and that there was a defect.

Finn's review of Gran Lattissima EN650.W

Pros: From turning it on it is ready in under 30 seconds. The capsules are easily inserted and the milk frother is easy to use, clean and store in the fridge. Being able to press a button for a latte or other milk based beverage is fantastic. The machine simply looks good too, it is clean and appears “high end” when compared to other similar machines. Although white is unpopular, any dust gathered appears less visible and it looks brighter in the corner of a room.Cons: Cleaning can be a little bothersome, the drip trays must be cleaned after every use from my experience or they will begin to smell foul. After a while the coffee in the trays becomes gloopy and sticks to the plastic - even without milk this becomes pleasant. Perhaps some sort of improved coating on ... MorePros: From turning it on it is ready in under 30 seconds.

Perhaps some sort of improved coating on the plastic would improve their ability to repel strong fluids? The milk frother was surprisingly easy to clean, even in the sink, but I can see parts of the device that are a little fiddly to get to.

Grande taste, Small footprint

The Nespresso De'Longhi Gran Lattissima is an automatic espresso machine with integrated milk frother, capable of producing coffee drinks that rival Starbucks with the ease of a single cup brewer. The attractive design features a small (18.8 D x 7.99 W x 10.87 H) footprint, rear water reservoir, detachable milk carafe, and a glass capacitive touch panel for easy operation. After unboxing and testing water quality, the Gran Lattissima is ready to produce quality espresso based drink in less than 25 seconds. Like all Nespresso machines, the Gran Lattissima uses capsules to produce high quality coffee extraction. Though the Nespresso capsules are slightly more per serving ($0.70) compared to some K-Cups, the quality is unmatched apart from much larger, noisier, and ... MoreThe Nespresso De'Longhi Gran Lattissima is an automatic espresso machine with integrated milk frother, capable of producing coffee drinks that rival Starbucks with the ease of a single cup brewer.

Like all Nespresso machines, the Gran Lattissima uses capsules to produce high quality coffee extraction. Though the Nespresso capsules are slightly more per serving ($0.70) compared to some K-Cups, the quality is unmatched apart from much larger, noisier, and pricier espresso machines. I like the drop through design of the machine, meaning your capsules drop into an internal waste bin after use for a clean operation and easy waste removal. The bin holds approximately 10 capsules, allowing me to operate the machine all week without worrying about disposing or recycling (recyclable aluminum) used capsules. The rear mounted water reservoir however, barely makes it a week of pouring daily flat whites and running a purge shot with milk cleaning after each use. I would like to have seen just 8-10 oz more to accommodate daily drinks and cleaning without worrying about capacity, as well as a side mounted reservoir. The detachable milk carafe allows you to easily store it in the fridge, making it a breeze to connect when you are making a milk based drink. The carafe is also easy to clean by simply turning the knob and the Gran Lattissima rinses the milk system for you. For deep cleaning or storage, it easily disassembles with a turn the other direction. During operation, the Gran Lattissima is slightly louder than my retired Keurig but the quality of coffee it produces is no comparison. Thanks to the 19-bar pump and automatic operation, the machine makes the best coffee I have had from any home coffee machine, producing nice crema and smooth flavor. It really is surprising what this little machine can accomplish at the push of a button. If you are looking for a high quality coffee machine that can produce a large assortment of beverages (Lungo, Espresso, Ristretto, Macchiato, Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Hot Milk and Foam) that rivals your local coffee shop yet still fits under your counter, the Gran Lattissima is hard to beat!

Jo's review of Lattissima Touch EN560.W

Pros: Nice, stylish looking coffee machine with a great range of coffees. Very easy to use & clean. Bigger water tank & capsule collection area than our original Nespresso machine.Cons: Unfortunately the milk frother part didn’t even last 6 days before it failed. I don’t think it worked properly from the start judging by the very small amount of milk & froth produced for a cappuccino on day 1. Such a shame as I had high hopes for this Delonghi machine.

Love the look; the milk foamer is temperamental at best

I bought this machine as an upgrade to a Latissima One because it offers additional options for coffee formats and volumes, but also because the machine looked so darn slick. I find that it is consistent in the way that it brews the coffee, although at times the process seems longer than others. My real issue is with the milk steamer/foamer that has only once been able to produce milk foam. Invariably, it spits out super hot steam and hot milky water -- irrespective of the kind of milk (dairy, soy, almond, oat) or the fat content. When using it, you invariably waste one or two capsules to milky water (which you have to toss quickly as you interchange the coffee cup) before you get any foam. What is worse is that the sales associate at my local Nespresso store admits ... MoreI bought this machine as an upgrade to a Latissima One because it offers additional options for coffee formats and volumes, but also because the machine looked so darn slick.

I therefore can recommend it for the coffee brewing but not for the what it is supposed to do which is to easily make "milk"-based coffee beverages.

Worst decision ever

This product is not worth it at all. Everything mentioned in the features above is a true lie. It doesn’t make proper milk drinks at all. The foam is so misleading. Not at all great for cappuccinos or macchiatos. I thought since this machine has the attachment for milk froth it will good and worth it. But no!!!! Plus the size of coffee pods and the amount of coffee that comes out is not good too. It’s just all water in 2 secs.Me and my husband are really disappointed and dissatisfied with this product. Not convenient for cleaning as well (the milk dispenser)
