Nespresso Creatista Automatic Pod Coffee Machine with Milk Frother Wand for Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte by Sage in Black Sesame

Product Information

Their impressive range of appliances also come with recipes, hints and tips which help you get the most from your tea-maker, coffee machine or bread maker. This feature is a neat twist on rival machines that come with a more basic milk frothing accessory too, so it’s a great start. What really sets the Creatista Uno apart, though, is the milk – so we definitely had to give that a go. There’s an ejectable coffee cup stand, too, which is handy for getting smaller cups of coffee and shots of espresso under the main spout. If you don’t mind less finely frothed milk, a regular Nespresso machine such as the Nespresso CitiZ or Nespresso Inissia coupled with an Aeroccino can achieve a similar effect, although it will take longer and is less convenient.

The Creatista Uno comes with the usual assortment of coffee options for black coffee, and the build quality of the machine is frankly excellent. Nespresso machines deliver quick and easy cups of caffeine in a dazzling array of flavours and types thanks to their capsule-friendly designs. You just fill up the provided jug with the amount of milk you want (there are lines for the minimum and maximum level), and then push the steamer button on top.

The unit offers up 25ml petite ristretto, 40ml classic espresso and 110ml longer lungo cups while the ability to use that milk jug and steam nozzle merely adds to the appeal. There’s no grinding or associated faff, and that's appealing despite the fact that pod coffee isn't the cheapest. The fully-automatic steam wand offers 3 levels of milk temperature and fast adjustments to assist you with beautiful latte art creations.

Accessories included with the Creatista Uno include a stainless steel milk jug and a tasting box of Nespresso capsules. You agree to receive promotions, surveys and more from us and our affiliated brands and you have read our Privacy Policy. There’s also the waste issue of spent pods or capsules, although Nespresso is doing its best to make them increasingly recyclable. Capsules do tend to be quite wet when ejected, as the standard system doesn’t use the centrifugal force of the new Nespresso Vertuo system, so it’s worth giving the bin a clean weekly with a damp cloth or a bit of washing-up liquid. Using the controls on top you can choose the milk temperature (high, medium or low) and the froth amount (high, medium or low).
