I've had nothing but problems with my first 2 Gran Lattissima machines. This is the third one and I go over the operation, for first timers, and re-evaluate the issues I've had with the previous machines. This one is actually already starting to do the same things that plagued the operation of the first two. I will be doing more follow-up videos to keep you abreast of the developments.

This third machine ended up with the same problems I describe. I contacted Nespresso again and they agreed to replace the Gran Lattissima with an entirely different model, the Creatista Plus. I have reviewed the Creatista Plus separately. It's awesome! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9ePbLmm3sfdeKs.html

Thanks for the review! Keep us up to date on how it’s working. I recently bought the same machine and ran into the same exact issue. Worked great initially but only for a couple weeks. I contacted Nespresso and they sent me a new frother. Hopefully it fixes the issue. It became very frustrating when cups of coffee became VERY inconsistent in terms of quantity of froth that would come out. Very disappointing to see you having the same issue because it makes me feel like there’s no fix it’s just the machine. Keep us updated.

@michaelerbreviews 4 жыл бұрын

A Lungo is basically an Americano. Since the pod holds so little coffee to begin with you wouldn't really want to add more water than what a Lungo adds or it would be very weak. But yes, if you want just water, I suppose you could eject the pod, close the lever and just push either of the three buttons on the left to add more hot water.

@@michaelerbreviews I see. Maybe the volume issues with the non-coffee recipes are due to the reason that you may have used non-Nespresso branded capsules, not that I'm an expert but I have read from one of their articles that although some brands are compatible, they do not recommend to use non-Nespresso brand capsules because it may cause problems wotht he machine. I don't want to impose or such, I just assumed. Maybe I would opt for the Lattissima Touch or research more about issues that occurred in our country.

@@jamesg3801 And not to belabor the point, but I just got off the phone with Nespresso and was assured that if two milk drinks were made one after another, there is no need to clean the Rapid Cappuccino System between uses in that scenario. They just want to make sure that you clean it after "each use" to ensure that it gets cleaned to prevent bacteria from forming between longer periods of time in between uses in which bacteria could begin developing which would be a bad and potentially unhealthy thing. It is also recommended that milk not be kept in the container for longer than 2 days.

I do take issue with you blaming a touch sensitive control panel for being, well, touch sensitive. That’s one is on you, not the machine. As for the amount of water released after a cleaning cycle, it’s only a tiny, tiny amount and will not affect the overall taste of the drink. As for the cleaning cycle, you can make more than one drink at a time, just run the cleaning cycle after making those drinks, right away, put the jug right into the fridge. It doesn’t have to be run between drinks, that’s overkill.

@michaelerbreviews 3 жыл бұрын

I didn’t blame the machine for being touch sensitive, I said it was my problem. Also I never stated that you needed to clean the frother after making every milk drink. The overall point regarding the milk frother is that it is inconsistent, not reliable and 50% of the time produces nothing but steam and sputtering. I’ve had three of these machines which indicates it is not an isolated incident. Many other people are reporting the same problems.
