Not only does this impress and entertain my guests, it also gives me a luxurious experience right in my very own kitchen when I’m needing a pick-me-up. The manual suggests using skim milk for the best foaming performance, but we tried whole milk, 2 percent milk, skim milk, and even almond milk. We know it is often a big investment when you purchase appliances for your home and if something was to go wrong it would cause upheaval in your household. Put simply, the Latissima Pro is the best countertop Nespresso machine we’ve tested, and by some margin.

That same smooth, perfectly formed taste is carried over to shorter and longer drinks too – a 25ml ristretto goes down beautifully in a single mouthful, while a 110ml lungo will keep sippers happy until the very last drop.

It has been repaired once for a new brewing unit and i have bought a new milk caraffe in that time but my wife and I used it a lot.

I didn’t want to bother with a machine that didn’t have one because that meant I would have to froth my milk on the side, and pour it into the espresso myself! We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Although I don't use it, my daughter loves coffee with oat milk, and it froths this as well as any dairy product. Espresso from this machine tastes decent but is more watery and less bold than shots made with some other machines.These should be emptied regularly and cleaned, but since they’re not in contact with the coffee you’re drinking, they don’t need much more than a swish in soapy water and a quick rinse. The proportions are all fixed but you can adjust and change the settings to customize the amount of milk/espresso for each drink setting so it makes YOUR perfect cup every time. A high performing 19 bar pressure pump and thermoblock technology with perfect temperature control, ensures you won’t be left waiting around for long. We find it is hotter than the last model we had where we use to have to use the microwave straight after when making coffees with milk.
