One of the best features for the Nespresso Creatista line is the milk texture customizer. Eight different texture levels are available on both espresso machines. You can select the texture levels via an LCD panel. The milk texturing feature is automatically allowing you to have different textures for your espresso. You can use the milk texturing adjustment for froth art. It is excellent for those who want to feel like a barista in their homes. Create unique textures for your latte coffees and flat white cappuccinos. What’s nice about the steam wand is that it does an automatic steam purge after it has been used. However, I still had to clean the outside of the wand with a wet cloth to wipe off the dried milk. The user manual also suggests filling the milk jug with just water and selecting the milk function on the display to further clean the wand. The water should then be discarded.

The Nespresso Creatista Plus draws the espresso shot into your cup on the left and then steams the milk in the pitcher on the right. While brewing and steaming are automated, you have to do one step yourself – combine the milk and espresso. In terms of cons, this machine does not come with a water dispenser. So you won't be able to make an Americano with this machine alone, you will need a separate kettle. Nespresso Creatista Plus is easy to clean and maintain. You should rinse the water tank and empty the used capsule container and the drip tray every few days (the frequency depends on how often you use your machine). The drip tray has a red ball that floats up and lets you know it’s time to empty it. You can do frothing of milk on both Creatista Pro and Creatista Plus models. An excellent way to enjoy your espresso is by adding froth milk. If you also enjoy lattes with a luscious velvet coating of milk, the Creatista can do it for you. Frothed milk also adds a little bit of sophistication whenever you make coffee at home. You can have a great tasting coffee that compares to coffee-house standards. The Nespresso Creatista Pro is much taller than the plus model. It has an additional curved extension of the top that makes it looks taller and more premium. The Nespresso Creatista Pro is also slightly wider and longer when you compare it with the plus model side-by-side. It isn’t noticeable, but there is undoubtedly a difference. The measurements for the Creatista Plus are 17.1 cm across, 39.3 cm deep, and 30.8 cm in height. The Creatista Pro dimensions are 20 cm across, 43 cm deep, and 33 cm in height.Overall, I liked the milk quality. I had to tap the milk jug on the counter to break up large bubbles, but I was left with a velvety smooth milk foam.
