Our Verdict on this Nespresso Creatista Plus Coffee Machine
This capsule machine is one of the most expensive of these types of coffee capsule machines. That said, it is also one of the very highest quality ones that you can buy.
The 94% buyer satisfaction rating speaks for itself and is always a very good sign for any potential buyer to see.
The machine as you can see from the video is very easy to use, and does make great coffee.
It is expensive for this type of machine, but you do have some great choices when it comes to adjusting the strength of your coffee, and the various temperatures for your milk.
There are practically no complaints about this machine from buyers and that is always a very good sign. A few people did complain about the milk frother.
If this is not the pod/capsule machine for you, then please check out our top 10 list of pod/capsule coffee machines by clicking here.
They were in a small minority though and most buyers said that feature worked really well. Our only real grumble here at The Perfect Grind is the price point for this type of machine.
It's expensive but we are certainly not questioning the quality of this Nespresso Creatista Plus. If you are someone who likes to make their coffee quickly and to a high standard, then the investment is worth it.
The Nespresso Creatista plus is great when it works but the steam wand is so temperamental, my first machine went back to Nespresso 5 times, it was eventually replaced but that only lasted a couple of months before it started playing up. Have looked after it to the book if not more intensely. Cant wait to use up my pods then get rid if the thing, drives me crazy. Also the nespresso customer service how frustrating are they, every call takes forever going round and round in circles, you have to make several calls to get anywhere. I know people love this brand but I wouldn’t go near them again after my experience. Oh and another thing, you can only use fresh, no older than 2 days from purchase, semi skimmed milk at an optimum temperature. No whole milk or milk alternatives.
