Perhaps, as someone who loves crafting coffee from scratch, I’m not the target buyer.

Here are my full thoughts on the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista.

It’s a similar story in the U.K. where it’s currently available for535 at Amazonbut costs649 at Nespresso.

But regardless of my opinion, we can all agree that it’s eye-catching.

It’s well-made too, with cool stainless steel exteriors and a sturdy multi-level drip tray.

You only need to master four buttons with the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista.

Then, the central button kicks off the steaming process.

All in all, it couldn’t be much easier.

It fades fast, and starts to look a bit funny if you leave it sitting.

which you’ve got the option to’t get in Original-line machines.

Onto the milk, which elevates the whole machine.

If you’re someone who likes drinking milk-based coffee like latte and cappuccino, it won’t disappoint.

Best Buy

My milk came out glossy, evenly textured and thick every time I used the steam wand.

On the hottest setting it hit 200F/71C, and at the lowest level it came out at 145F/63C.

Crate & Barrel

It’s not that I think the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista is a bad machine.

Far from it, there’s a lot to like here.

It’s capable, well-made, looks cool, and offers a huge amount of versatility.

The issue is that it costs the same as some of the top espresso machines on the market.

And, at an entry level they’ll cost the same as the Nespresso Vertuo Creatista.
