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

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.

When not in use, you can remove it if you prefer the machine's looks without the RCS. You can store the removable milk container with any leftover milk in the fridge. 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'.Just make sure when preparing milk-based drinks that you switch the milk frothing regulator to the "froth" position. 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.

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.Fully automated espresso machines like this one have inner components where the milk circulates. So a thorough cleaning is very important to avoid your machine becoming a thriving bacteria colony. In terms of milk drinks, the Gran Lattissima can either dispense hot milk (flat milk), or milk foam.

Unfortunately, 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. The coffee drink quality of this machine is good overall; however, the coffee drink quality depends on the drink in question. 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. The Gran Lattissima comes with a stand to elevate the platform where your espresso cup would go. This is a thoughtful feature since it'll help keep your espresso hot.

By the way, in our opinion, this coffee maker looks better in white. White also hides better dust and smudges. To do so, touch and hold for at least 3 seconds the button corresponding to the coffee drink you want to prepare. Once the machine has brewed the desired amount of coffee, release the button and the machine will save the brew size for future uses.
