Nespresso Launches Two New Machines to Up Your At-Home Coffee Game

Nespresso has launched two new capsule machines in South Africa, namely the Vertuo Creatista and the Vertuo Lattissima.

Both machines are aimed at the more bespoke coffee drinks, who like milk options with their daily coffees, but what exactly are the differences between the two?

Nespresso Vertuo Creatista

This is the top-end model of the Vertuo personal home range, giving you the closest experience to being an actual barista without all the fuss and technicalities. The Creatista leverages the barcode and centrifuge technology from the original Vertuo, but features a milk-control and steam wand, giving users a new level of control over the temperature and textures of their milk.

The Creatista is also able to make 7 different coffee sizes depending on the capsule selection, including. These include Ristretto (25 ml), Espresso (40 ml), Double Espresso (80 ml), Gran Lungo (150 ml), Mug (230 ml), XL Coffee (355 ml) and Carafe (535 ml).

The Nespresso Vertuo Creatista is priced at R13,999.

Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima

The Vertuo Lattissima sits in between the original Vertuo and the Creatista, giving you a built-in milk frother but without too many bells and whistles. Unlike the dedicated milk wand on the Creatista, you get a normal milk spout that will heat and deliver your foam or warm milk. Furthermore, there are no temperature and texture settings like on the Creatista. So, the Lattissima can change the milk or froth a little bit, but not to the extent that the Creatista can.

The Lattissima’s milk carafe is detachable, so you can simply place it inside your fridge to keep your milk cool and fresh, ready for your next coffee.

The Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima is priced at R8,999.
