I love this machine. I have been wanting a Nespresso for a while now but I tend to be cheap when it comes to “gifts” for me. Got a $250 gift card for something at work and I decided to be a little frivolous! Why did I wait so long? The machine is small which is a big plus. The espresso is the real deal. Like you get in places where it is their equivalent to our morning coffee. Love the frother. Does an amazing job. Honestly though the most important factor and what I would term the deal breaker was how easy it is to clean. It is quite easy! It comes apart into all of its constituent parts, rinse with cold water and lay it on a towel to dry. All ready for the next morning! Simple! I don’t have a bad word to say about it. It is pricey for a “coffee maker” but it’s much more than that and worth every penny! Read more
Ordered 2 machines and delivery was quick. Unboxed and tried per instructions for the “best froth” use skim milk. This worked a couple of times and the machine stopped frothing. Read, Researched and then called customer svce. Big mistake. She kept asking if we have an account. I advised we just received it. She said to set up account So we did. Waste of time and I spent the next 40 minutes w her trouble shooting only to have her tell me I’m using the wrong milk and I can only use whole milk? She said “our site states this”? Bye the way it doesn’t. I searched and also advised her page 17 specifically states “for the best froth use skim milk”. She said “well that’s wrong”? Anyway. This went on for 40 min until I hung up frustrated. After researching more my wife (yes she’s smarter than me) found more info on line about the same issue. The froth stops working if not using whole milk. Update - we did try the whole milk and it works. Love the machine. Great coffee but if you want to use anything other than whole milk it’s not for you. We tried 2% and skim as well. Only whole milk works. **don’t waste time w customer service unless your very patient and have a lot of time to waste talking..well listening to someone tell you in the end to just return it to Amazon your within 30 days….

The coffee machine looks very stylish and modern and at first I was happy with the purchase. However, the milk container broke within the first month of use and completely stopped frothing milk, even though it was thoroughly cleaned after every single cup. Because of this issue, the main feature of the machine became unusable. For the price, this is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this model. Read more
Review of the Nespresso Lattissima One Original Espresso Machine with Milk Frother by De'Longhi - Shadow Black I recently had the pleasure of using the Nespresso Lattissima One Original Espresso Machine by De'Longhi in the sleek Shadow Black finish, and I must say, it has been a delightful addition to my kitchen. This machine is designed for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the art of espresso and the luxury of perfectly frothed milk, and it certainly delivers on both fronts. Design and Build Quality: The Shadow Black color gives the machine a modern and sophisticated look, making it a stylish addition to any countertop. The compact design is a significant advantage, especially for those with limited kitchen space. The build quality feels robust, and the materials used are high-grade, ensuring durability. The intuitive layout of buttons is user-friendly, allowing even the most novice coffee maker to operate it with ease. Ease of Use: One of the standout features of the Lattissima One is its simplicity. With just a single touch, you can prepare a variety of coffee drinks, including espresso, cappuccino, and latte macchiato. The integrated milk frother is a game changer; it produces creamy, frothy milk in seconds. The machine also has a removable milk container, making it easy to store leftover milk in the refrigerator. Coffee Quality: When it comes to coffee quality, the Lattissima One does not disappoint. The espresso extracted is rich, flavorful, and aromatic, with a beautiful crema on top. The machine uses Nespresso's Original line of coffee capsules, which offers a wide range of flavors and intensities. I appreciate the consistent quality, ensuring every cup is as good as the last. Cleaning and Maintenance: Cleaning the Lattissima One is relatively straightforward. The milk frother and water tank are detachable, allowing for easy rinsing and maintenance. The automatic cleaning function for the milk frother is particularly convenient, ensuring hygiene without requiring much effort.

We fell in love with the Nespresso coffee system featured in several of our hotel rooms while traveling in Italy and France. This machine helps bring a taste of Europe to our home every day, so easy to use and make a cappuccino or latte to start the day. If you’re an espresso perfectionist then this machine may not be for you. But if you’re like many of us who want the espresso experience including steamed milk froth without the fuss, mess and expense and big countertop footprint of a professional espresso machine, then you’ll appreciate this machine. You control the amount of steamed milk by varying the amount of milk you pour into the milk receptacle, you must refill it after each cup you make. I suggest experimenting with the type of milk you use. Nonfat, 1%, 2%, whole milk, each produces a different texture of foam and creaminess depending on your preference. We find 2% to be our favorite. We have experimented with almond milk and oat milk but nothing froths like real milk. Like most coffee and espresso machines, this one needs to be descaled periodically depending on the hardness of water that you use. It has a helpful feature to alert you when the time for descaling is approaching and when it reaches a certain point it will automatically block usage until you perform descaling. Read more
