Nespresso Gran Lattissima EN650.W by De'Longhi, Single Serve Capsule Coffee Machine, Automatic frothed milk, Cappuccino and Latte, 1.3 liters, White

Product Information

For our money, OriginalLine machines are better than VertuoLine machines because their pump produces more authentic espresso, the coffee tends to be hotter, and there's no barcode scanning system meaning you can find less-expensive third-party capsules.

This machine is made of several materials. It has some stainless steel and plastic with matte and high gloss finishes. The top of the machine features a glass touch panel, with 9 one-touch buttons for easy preparation of 9 different drinks (2 of those are hot milk and milk froth so we don't consider them coffee drinks). 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. The Lattissima lineup consists of five devices with varying features. Gran Lattissima has the most drink options and the biggest capsule container. In terms of OriginalLine pods, I like the Gran Lattisima the most, and that’s mostly because of the extra drink options and stylish design. 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. The machine froths the milk automatically. You don’t even have to pour the milk or move the cup to a milk dispenser. All you have to do is switch the milk frothing to the froth position to make foamed milk recipes.If your drink requires milk or foam, hold the button again for at least 3 seconds and then release it once the desired amount of hot milk or milk foam has been dispensed. 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 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. Flat milk recipes include the café latte and the flat white. However, given the nature of the Rapid Cappuccino System, there will be no micro-foam and the milk texture between these two drinks will be the same. So these drinks might feel a bit 'off'.

By hand — If you don’t have a dishwasher, you need to clean the Rapid Cappuccino System by hand. Disassemble it, and soak it in hot water with mild soap for half an hour. Dry and reassemble. Finally, the only part of the machine that’s not so easy is the setup and the maintenance. The setup involves disassembling the Rapid Cappuccino System, washing all the components, drying, then reassembling the system and attaching it to the machine. Moreover, you’ll have to do this every time you clean the milk frothing system, which is fairly often (more in the maintenance section). Rapid Cappuccino System (Milk Frothing) Nespresso Gran Lattissima provides good value for your money. It has a fast heating system, an automatic milk frother with a removable milk container, and is compatible with both Nespresso and third-party capsules. VertuoLine: Their new line that uses Centrifusion (rapid capsule spinning) to extract shots from barcode-enabled capsules but also brews standard coffee up to 17 oz

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 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. However, the milk frothing system also needs a more thorough cleaning after regular use, which can be done in two ways:
