I bought one of these machines second hand and had no idea it could froth milk! I ordered the parts for the milk attachment and I am VERY excited to set up the machine. Very helpful video!!!
Thank you for the video. Got the machine from my church rummage sale for free (it was after the sale & was going to be dropped off at goodwill). I found your video which helped tremendously. It also saved me ink & paper to print out the directions.
Oh, I can not believe I had this machine for 8 months without using it, I was too lazy to read the manual. Stumble across your video now I can't stop making my coffee. Thanks you so much firteen888 :-)
FYI: The espresso button that you referred to in the back is not a double shot. It's a lungo type shot, which means more water is pushed through the capsule, therefore diluted (think Americano) and you would use the lungo capsule. A true double shot of espresso would be 2 capsules pushing the front espresso button.
One other good thing is you if you have leftover milk you can detach the milk container from the unit and then put it in the fridge. You just have to make sure you purge/clean the milk frother before you detach it to get all the milk out of the spout so it doesnt go off. Nespresso recommend that you only keep the milk container in the fridge (with milk) for around 2-3 days for hygiene purposes.
Thanks mate for the review. Have had the machine for ages but the misses would make my coffee. So today I wanted a coffee but I didn't know how to use it . Until I came across your video... THANK YOU!
Your video was very nice! I have owned this machine since 2012 and it is still working wonderfully. My daughter bought the same model year ago a little new design with digital display and a tiny bit bigger. I still think like my old one from 9 years ago just as much.
Thanks for the tips about programming, I didn't know about it. I use the steam clean function to heat everything up before I make my coffee, helps with the temperature being hotter.
Good review, I just wanted to say that the top-left button is for a lungo (long) shot, not a double shot of espresso. Also, the Keurig latte maker (k-latte/k-cafe) uses real milk that you put in a milk frother, but it doesn't make real espresso, it makes 2 oz of strong coffee which it refers to as a "shot"
He said you have to order online but here there's a nespresso store in every mall, sometimes inside "The Bay". They also recycle the pods as they are Aluminium. You can even ask for a bag or a prepaid postage bag for recycling.
You made me laugh when you said the water tank is too small "Not that a big of a deal" The machine is too small my cups didn't fit had to buy new cups "Not that a big of a deal" you're awesome :D Thank you for the awesome video!
I have the same machine, and one of our techniques is how the coffee more hot longer enough. well we warm our cup in the microwave with a little half teaspoon sugar (it depeends how sweet you like) and one teaspoon water for about 30 sec. one thing about this machine is they also automatic switch off ;)
A very nice and simple video, helped me choose to purchase this for the wife. I've got a DeLonghi Coffee machine with the frother and my misses finds it to complicated to use. She will love this one for sure! Thank you man ✌
thanks i think this is the best well ecplained video over this machine,,,here in Netherlands you can buy the cups anywere in supermarkets from all different makers so this meand your getting real cheap cups maybe 10cents a cup,,thanks again
Thank you for this great video. Got this machine for Xmas and have used it everyday. It is the best and thanks to you, I was able to use it immediately.
Thank you so much for your video!!! I 've read so many reviews and I was not sure if it was a great product or not. Your video sold me this machine. I guess Nespresso owes you a comission. LOL. My husband will give me the machine for Valentine's day! I am all excited about it. Thanks again!!!
Thank you Sir, had it for a couple of months I didn't know about cleaning and programming, very informative. BTW they call it Lungo not double espresso
Remember to give the milk holder a proper clean before you put in new milk. The black spout, top nob as well as the black part that goes into the machine can detached and needs to be cleaned out as well. We only found that out after our first service and was quite embarrassed about it.
The milk in the container stays COLD. It only heats up as it comes out. The rest is still cold so you can store the rest back in the fridge with no probs!
Great video, I just ordered mine yesterday, waiting for it to arrive (got the same color as yours). - You are correct in that there arn't very many "GOOD" videos concerning the Lattissima Plus. Took me some waffling before I finally commited to it and if I would have seen this video I'd have ordered it about a week ago. - Thx for the vid.
Nice video but I wish you'd shown the cappuccino to see the frother in action which is how i judge a really good machine. But again, thanks for the info! Very helpful.
There is a little door below the milk container as well. If you grab the silver cover from the right side and pull it is a hinges door with some attachment.... sadly I have no idea what it does
It’s not really meant for regular coffee. Nespresso makes a machine for regular coffee (Virtuo plus) that I just picked up today. It uses the Virtuo line of pods (different than this machine) and apparently makes great coffee.
When you talk about getting as much coffee as you want I'm assuming that's from the same capsule is the coffee the same strength if you get more coffee from the capsule
I just picked one up today I found it at a thrift store thought I was making a good purchase looks clean in the box everything there even the books, I get it Home get it all set up get ready to make a cup it acts like it's gonna make a cup and then it stops. I called the company, company says send it back to the store, I know thrift store is not going to take it back nor are they going to give me my money back because I didn't purchase it at a retailer they will not help me figure out what's wrong with my machine, some company I was thinking about giving this one to my daughter and purchasing another one now I will not
I have the same machine, I have a question... I know that the buttons are programmable but can I CONTROL it EVERY TIME I use it? Like every time ..because other people leave their own preference.. Can it be or am I using it wrong? Also do u use an espresso capsule to make a cappuccino or can u use a LUNGO capsule as well? Sorry I'm a newbie....
What type of milk should we use to get more froth? We tried low fat and lactose free and the froth amount is too little (knob turned to the maximum)..? Thanks!
Morning guys , I’ve got the same machine and since couple of month it’s start making me a very watery espresso ?! Could you please advise me what to do
we have this model at work - a coworker and I discovered it sitting in a cabinet with hundreds of capsules, and have been going through them at a steady clip of about 4 each per day - omfg we're both super addicted now. i want one for home, but DAMN are they expensive. favorite capsules are the vanillo (white with stripes) and whatever the pink one is. GOD everything it makes is like CRACK
If I program a button for my personal use and then later decides that I want it like it was when I bought it (programed by nespresso), how can I get the same amount that was from the beginning?
i think the coffee could be hotter . I dont like my coffee too hot but even i find it is not hot. I know a bit of a contradiction. What I am saying is coffee not hot enough
I had the same problem with this machine until I started to heat the cup using the milk steamer's cleaner function to "steam" the cup beforehand. This way, the cup is hot AND the milk comes out hotter, especially for your first cup, than it normally would. Problem solved! Enjoy!!!
