In terms of espresso drinks, the Gran Lattissima does well thanks to its powerful 19 bar pump. It also has the advantage of being part of the Nespresso OriginalLine. OriginalLine Nespresso machines are compatible with third party capsules, widening the selection of coffee types you can brew. Here’s how to make a drink: insert the pod and choose the type of coffee you want. If you’ve chosen a milk drink, fill the milk container to the max level and attach it to the machine. Rotate the spout so it’s at the center of the cup, and turn the milk froth knob to the froth setting. Finally, press the button for the coffee you want, and the machine will do the work for you. The coffee drinks are good quality. Gran Lattissima has a powerful 19-bar pump, the same as other Nespresso OriginalLine machines. The pump ensures there’s good coffee extraction during the brewing and that espresso has a nice crema. coffee (Ristretto, Espresso and Lungo) and 6 milk-based recipes (Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Flat White, Caffè Latte, Hot milk and Hot Foam)

You will also notice the Rapid Cappuccino System (RCS) prominently featured in front - it looks like a milk container with a spout coming out from its side. This is in contrast to slightly less automated machines with steam wands, such as the Nespresso Creatista Uno. There is a higher workload when preparing your coffee, as you need to manually pour the milk, but there will be less cleaning to do. Foamed milk recipes include the cappuccino and the latte macchiato. They do not contain hot milk, just milk foam. Just make sure when preparing milk-based drinks that you switch the milk frothing regulator to the "froth" position. This is why after preparing any coffee drink that contains milk, the "Clean" LED light will turn orange. This is telling you you need to run the rinsing process. To do so, place an empty container under the milk dispenser, and turn the froth regulator knob to "Clean". The cleaning process will start and end automatically.A common user complaint is that the Rapid Cappuccino System stops functioning. For those users, the machine sputters hot water instead of milk, and the temperature is inconsistent. However, these issues are almost always due to poor cleaning. This is a good choice if you want the convenience of single-serve capsule machines, espresso drinks, and milk-based drinks. Also, if you want a machine that makes coffee fast, you won’t regret getting Nespresso Gran Lattissima.

The process is a bit messy, so you may need to clean the machine with a cloth afterward. Water tends to drip from the milk system spout.

Fully automated espresso machines like this one have inner components where the milk circulates. So a thorough cleaning is very important to avoid your machine becoming a thriving bacteria colony. Nespresso Gran Lattissima is a grand choice for coffee lovers who want espresso or a latte macchiato with a touch of a button. If you don’t want to go through the hassle of using a traditional espresso machine (grinding, tamping, frothing the milk), you’ll love Nespresso Gran Lattissima. The Gran Lattissima coffee machine offers a variety of coffee shop recipes at your fingertips, including cappuccinos, lattes, and flat whites, with effortless customization through its intuitive 9-touch button interface and one-touch milk system, providing convenient and easy-to-make gourmet coffee beverages with minimal effort. By the way, in our opinion, this coffee maker looks better in white. White also hides better dust and smudges.

The same goes for milk drinks. Hold the button for at least three seconds, and release it when the desired amount of milk foam has been released into your cup. You know the Nespresso Gran Lattissima has saved your preferences when the drink button flashes three times. Ensures perfect in-cup results, delivering correct amount of pressure and water flow according to the type of beverage selected. In terms of milk drinks, the Gran Lattissima can either dispense hot milk (flat milk), or milk foam. Lattissima One is more compact than the Gran model. This means it has a smaller capsule container capacity (8 vs. 14). However, the water tank capacity is the same for both machines — 34 oz. The milk system functions as on the Gran Lattissima, but the milk container is smaller (only 4 oz compared to the 17 oz).

Finally, I’d recommend this machine for beginners and busy coffee lovers who want ease of use and convenience. Should You Get Nespresso Gran Lattissima?

That’s a downside for me, especially because the milk frother can clog up and stop working easily, which would ruin its main selling point.

Remove and rinse the capsule container, the drip tray, the cup support, and the drop collector. You should do this every few days, depending on your use. All components are dishwasher safe.
