The fully automatic steam wand has an auto-purge which is triggered after every use, which is quite neat. If you need a deeper clean, you can submerge it in water using the milk jug and activate the milk function. So if you were wondering what the difference was in terms of Nespresso Vertuo vs original, now you know :-).

The Bambino machines have a pre-infuse option like the larger Sage espresso machines that you can manually adjust. As to be expected with a machine like this, there's a bit more to it than with the other Nespresso machines, and I've read that it can take a little bit of learning – in other words, you may actually have to read the instructions ;-).

With Nespresso original, even their bigger lungo size pods only deliver 110ml coffees, and standard sized coffee mug in the UK is around 250 – 300ml. Both models also have a cup tray that you can push in or out. This is helpful if you are making an espresso shot or cappuccino into a shorter glass as it will raise the glass closer to the coffee outlet. If you are using a larger glass for a latte, simply push the tray in and rest the glass on the drip tray. Care And Maintenance This isn't to say it's not as good as espresso. I'm just saying that coffee that comes from a Nespresso machine is not the same as coffee that comes from a traditional espresso machine.

We searched for all of the Coffee machines that we could find at Currys. In total we found 137 different products available. Steam the milk by filling the jug up to the bottom of the spout and texturing until the milk becomes warm. Vertuo pods are a mix of Instant Coffee and ground coffee, as I discovered after reading the text on the pod box. The size is not enough to hold enough ground coffee for a mug of authentic espresso taste, so it is bulked up with freeze dried. In addition to basic daily and weekly cleaning, you will want to do a deeper clean (called descaling) about every three months or so. Both the Creatista Plus and Pro enable you to set your water hardness levels and will alert you when it is time to descale. The display on either model will walk you through the detailed steps on how to descale. Both models come with a 2 year warranty. Creatista Plus vs Pro Summary: Which One Should You Buy?
