Nespresso Gran Lattissima EN650.B by De'Longhi, 1400 W, 1 cup, Black

Product Information

Also note, that this machine is easy to use, but the setup process can be time consuming. For example, it involves disassembling the Rapid Cappuccino System, washing its numerous components, drying them, and then re-assembling them. You could brew an espresso shot separately, and then use the one-touch hot milk or milk foam buttons (and program these as well) to create your favorite milky drink.

The Lattissima One is part of that first series (obviously), which is made up of 5 different models: If you like both espresso and milk-based drinks, you’ll love Gran Lattissima. It makes seven different drinks, plus hot milk and milk froth. The milk frother is completely automatic, which means you insert the pod, choose the drink, and the machine froths and pours the milk for you. You have milk beverages with a press of a single button. 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'.

It also leaves you with the possibility of purchasing re-usable Nespresso capsules, allowing you to buy and grind whole espresso beans. Fresh coffee beans will be much tastier than the coffee grounds contained in capsules, possibly for months. The process is a bit messy, so you may need to clean the machine with a cloth afterward. Water tends to drip from the milk system spout. Just make sure when preparing milk-based drinks that you switch the milk frothing regulator to the "froth" position. In a dishwasher — Disassemble all six parts of the milk frothing system and place them in the dishwasher. Once they are clean, reassemble them.

The coffee drink quality of this machine is good overall; however, the coffee drink quality depends on the drink in question. 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. Lattissima One is more compact than the Gran model. This means it has a smaller capsule container capacity (8 vs. 14). However, the water tank capacity is the same for both machines — 34 oz. The milk system functions as on the Gran Lattissima, but the milk container is smaller (only 4 oz compared to the 17 oz). Creatista machines with integrated frothing wands for a more manual frothing experience, as if you were a true baristaUnfortunately, despite the name "Gran Lattissima", you cannot customize milk textures or temperatures with this Nespresso machine. You either get hot milk, or milk froth, at a single temperature. A common user complaint is that the Rapid Cappuccino System stops functioning. For those users, the machine sputters hot water instead of milk, and the temperature is inconsistent. However, these issues are almost always due to poor cleaning. A notification mechanism designed to inform users when the machine requires descaling, a crucial maintenance task to remove mineral deposits and maintain optimal performance, ensuring the machine's longevity and the quality of brewed coffee. This Gran Lattissima is the newest of these 5 Lattissima models with the most modern design that weighs a touch less than the similarly spec'd Lattissima Pro. The biggest difference is the Pro's digital touchscreen display and larger spent capsule capacity while the Gran has more preset beverage recipes: By the way, in our opinion, this coffee maker looks better in white. White also hides better dust and smudges.
