The Creatista Uno is made of plastic whereas the Creatista Plus features a stainless steel experience. Diving into a bit more detail, on the left side of the machine is the coffee dispenser. Beneath it, there is a pop-out drip tray for smaller drinks such as ristrettos, espressos, and lungos. This is to minimize the vertical distance coffee must travel between the dispenser and your cup. It is a thoughtful addition since this will help keep your coffee hot. The Pro is ideal if you are in a rush or want to make multiple drinks as it uses the Breville double thermojet system that lets you brew coffee and steam milk simultaneously. The middle machine, the Nespresso Creatista Plus, has a digital user interface. This screen guides you through the settings and makes it incredibly easy to choose the drink you want to make. It also guides you through any setup and maintenance steps as needed. The digital interface is intuitive and is navigated using the “select” dial underneath the screen. Overall, if you want convenience, drink customizability, and flavorful espresso, Creatista Plus is a good option. Milk Frothing

The Keurig K-Café offers similar conveniences to the Nespresso Creatista Plus Espresso Machine in that it can brew a number of coffee beverages, including several milk-based espresso drinks. There's a milk frother located on the right side of the machine allowing the user the capability to make lattes and cappuccinos, as well. Similar to the Nespresso, this machine uses K-Cup pods, so it’s nearly all automatic, too. In the Nespresso Creatista Plus, you control the screen by a knob and a button. This screen is where you select your coffee levels, milk temperature, milk froth, and other coffee customizing features. The Creatista Pro model has a larger screen and uses a touchscreen LCD panel. It looks a lot brighter and clearer as well. You just simply swipe and select your favorite coffee in coffee-house style. The user-interface for the LCD screen of the Creatista Pro is much easier and simpler.I mentioned it has an impressive three-second warm-up time, which is one of the fastest available on any espresso machine. This is almost unheard of in the world of espresso machines, with many traditional machines needing 20 minutes to get going.

Nespresso Creatista Plus provides an intuitive user interface with its high-resolution display which guides you on all preparation, setting and maintenance aspects. A hassle free cleaning further enhanced by the automatic purge of the steam wand after each use. It also features a high-end design with a refined brushed stainless steel finish and includes a stainless steel barista milk jug. Each machine includes a complimentary welcome set with a range of Nespresso capsules with unique aromatic profiles. All of the Nespresso Creatista models come with a built-in steam wand for frothing milk. The milk frother is automatic but you can adjust the settings to suit the drink you are making. For the milk frother to work all you have to do is put milk in the jug, select the settings and press start. The steam wand is also self-cleaning so it automatically purges to ensure there is no milk still in the tube after frothing.If you’re selecting a milk-based coffee, then fill the supplied aluminium jug with milk to the minimum or maximum level, place it under the steaming wand while making sure to position the jug over the little plastic sensor, which slightly resembles a nipple. Now select your preferred milky mixture – cappuccino, flat white, latte or latte macchiato – and the machine will start operating at both ends, extracting the coffee while the wand does its swooshy frothing thing. When finished, simply pour the hot, frothy milk from the jug into your coffee cup and, well, that’s it.

The heat-up time for the Creatista machines is 3 seconds. This is an incredibly fast heat-up time and is one of the most impressive features of these Nespresso machines. Even the more affordable model (the Creatista Uno) has a 3-second heat-up time so no matter which of the Nespresso Creatista models you choose you won’t be left waiting for the machine to heat up when you are desperate for a morning coffee. Capsule Compatability

The Nespresso Creatista Plus Espresso Machine offers a stunning design. The moment I took it out of the box, I was captivated by its gorgeous sheen from the brushed stainless steel finish. In terms of size, it lands somewhere in the middle of not being too gaudy or small to work with. It’s fairly slim in width (12 inches), which allowed me to fit it on my counter without having to do much rearranging.

The Creatista Vertuo can make six coffee drinks, including regular coffee, which is available in three sizes. Plus, you can brew any pod as a double espresso using the TFT display with buttons. 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. Now, it goes without saying that we’re mostly big fans of Sage products, and of the Best nespresso machines. Sage gear is invariably well made using high quality materials, and usually very well designed, too, with easy UIs that take the hassle out of mundane chores like cooking and beverage making. Nespresso –like all the Best capsule espresso machines– is a remarkably good way of making coffee with almost no effort. So put them together and you have a sure-fire winner, right? On the right side is the steam wand which is used with the stainless steel milk jug that comes with this machine. The Creatista Plus comes with a 480 ml stainless steel jug, as well as a complimentary welcome set of 16 different Nespresso coffee capsules with varying flavor and aromatic profiles.You can also choose between 11 milk temperature options, eight textures, and several drink volumes. This programmability gives you a lot of freedom in getting the drink according to your preferences. However, although you can choose between 11 temperatures for milk, you don’t have this option for coffee, which is something I’d like to have. Nespresso Creatista Uno is the base model in the Creatista lineup. The Uno is a more affordable Creatista Nespresso machine than the Plus. It’s made of plastic, which makes it look less high-end compared to the Pro and the Plus models. So if you are looking for simplicity then go for the Uno and if you are looking for a thorough pre-set menu go for the Pro. Adjustment Settings Overall, Nespresso Creatista Plus has a stunning design. The stainless steel makes the coffee machine durable and gives it a nice sheen. It’s not the smallest Nespresso machine (such as the CitiZ and Inissia), but the slim width ensures it’ll fit anywhere. Espresso Quality Having used probably every Nespresso machine on the market, I have to say that the coffee dispensed by this machine didn’t taste any better than any other. That didn’t surprise me because, well, a Nespresso pod is a Nespresso pod. Yes, you can adjust the extraction length but then you can do that on any machine simply by pressing stop midway or tapping the start button again for a longer extraction.
