Creatista Plus Breville Damson Blue

I bought this 3-4 years ago and have used it almost everyday since. It's been in my top 3 purchases of all time, yes, all time. Everyday I wake up excited to make my cappuccino or other espresso drink and it brings me so much joy. The convenience factor along with the ability to make frothed milk drinks in less than 5 minutes is still amazing to me. I would purchase this again if I ever need to.

I’m in love with this new appliance to my kitchen, even my husband loved and is drinking coffee every morning, easy to use. Perfect while we get ready to go work (healthcare life). My only request is to open more coffee pods flavor options for original like the vertuo have.

I am happy with the product when it works, but unfortunately disappointed with it. I have this machine for almost 3 years now. After 1 year, had a problem with the steam wand. Sent to repair under warranty, and Nespresso replaced with a new one. Now, some months after the second year, this new machine started having the same problem, but now we don’t have warranty anymore and I was instructed to buy a new one by support. Disappointing given how expensive this machine is. Had many simpler models that lasted much longer.

As a coffee enthusiast, I’ve tried many espresso machines, but the Breville Nespresso Creatista Plus stands out as one of the best. It combines the convenience of a pod-based system with the customization and high-end quality of a barista-style machine. After using it daily for several months, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer for home coffee lovers. Design & Build Quality – 5/5 The first thing you notice about the Creatista Plus is its premium stainless-steel finish. It looks sleek and modern, making it a perfect addition to any kitchen. The build quality is solid, with a sturdy feel that reassures you of its durability. Unlike many plastic-heavy espresso machines, this one feels high-end and professional. The LCD display and intuitive dial make it easy to navigate settings without any guesswork. Ease of Use – 5/5 One of the best features of this machine is how simple yet sophisticated it is. Even if you’re not an experienced barista, the Creatista Plus makes it incredibly easy to prepare high-quality drinks. It heats up in just 3 seconds, meaning you can go from craving coffee to sipping an espresso in no time. The LCD screen guides you through every step, from choosing your drink size to adjusting milk texture. Coffee & Espresso Quality – 5/5 The Nespresso pod system ensures consistency with every shot, and the Creatista Plus extracts coffee with the perfect balance of richness and crema. I’ve tried various pods, from the intense Ristretto to the smooth Colombia, and every shot comes out flawless. Unlike lower-end machines, the temperature and extraction pressure are spot on, giving a café-quality taste every time. Milk Frothing & Customization – 5/5 What sets this machine apart from other Nespresso models is the automatic steam wand, which lets you customize milk texture and temperature. It offers 8 texture levels and 11 temperature settings, making it perfect for creating lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites just how you like them. The frothing is barista-level, producing silky microfoam that works beautifully for latte art. Another highlight? Hands-free operation—just place the milk jug under the wand, and the machine steams it to perfection without any effort. The automatic purge function cleans the wand after each use, making maintenance a breeze. Cleaning & Maintenance – 5/5 Speaking of maintenance, the Creatista Plus is one of the easiest espresso machines to clean. The drip tray is removable, and the steam wand has a self-cleaning function. The LCD display even reminds you when it’s time to descale. With minimal effort, the machine stays in top shape. Value for Money – 5/5 While the Creatista Plus is pricier than basic Nespresso machines, it’s worth every penny for coffee lovers who want café-quality drinks at home. The combination of Nespresso’s convenience with Breville’s professional steaming system makes it stand out from the rest. If you enjoy lattes and cappuccinos and want a hassle-free way to make them perfectly, this machine is an excellent investment. Final Verdict – 5/5 The Breville Nespresso Creatista Plus is hands down one of the best home espresso machines available. It’s perfect for those who want the ease of Nespresso pods but with the added benefit of professional milk steaming and customization. The build quality, fast heat-up time, and stunning espresso make it a must-have for any coffee lover. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a latte art enthusiast, this machine will exceed your expectations.

Love this machine! You can program it to pour the perfect amount of espresso depending on what drink you’re making. High quality performance and the extra plus is it has a self cleaning milk frother!

I have two of these machines and I love them so much! They are by far my favorite coffee machine out there. I love how it can make any type of coffee, including black coffee, cappuccino, lattes, etc. The milk it makes tastes amazing and it is super easy to use and clean and it’s perfect for anyone that wants a quick coffee, but good quality. The only thing I think this company should improve is that the inner parts should be made out of metal and not all plastic because of micro plastics. The full inside of the machine is made out of plastic, but the outside looks really nice.

One of the best pod machines around! It’s so easy to use and the best thing about it is the automatic milk frothing attachment. As someone that loves extra froth in her coffee, but I ain’t no barista, it’s amazing!!

I purchased the Creatista Plus and the coffee machine interface is great. However, I am extremely disappointed with the milk frothing. I have tried every kind of milk I can and every temperature I could and the froth is flat and unappealing. The actual crema on the non-milk coffee is also very disappointing. This is the third Nespresso machine I have purchase and the most expensive, yet the quality of the coffee is the worst. I am just wondering if your quality control is up to par. I am afraid that I will not buy another Nespresso machine.

Been using mine for 3 and half almost 4 years now with 3 people making multiple times a day and it still performing like it was brand new I love this machine and would get another one!

The design of this coffee machine is modern and will fit in any interior. If you don't like to mess around with brewing coffee every day, then this capsule machine will suit you. The coffee turns out quite tasty, but for whipping milk it is better to buy a separate whisk, as it doesn't work very well here. There is a large water reservoir and you can clean this very quickly. I would prefer a machine that grinds the coffee itself, whips the milk and makes a more flavorful coffee. But if you want to make coffee quickly, then this machine is perfect for you. I have had this coffee machine for over one hundred years and have not had any problems with it

Initially I loved my Nespresso’s pro however 2 months into having it and only using it once a day the frother wand is not consistent. I have to clean the wand per the instructions reset the machine for it to work. There’s no consistency with the wand. I’m super disappointed. I’ve shipped in the machine for repairs let’s see what happens.

Had mine for almost 3 years now, probably the longest lasting machine thus far. I've gone through several machines. From Kuerigs, Nespresso Virtuoso's and finally just said I'll go with the regular nespresso pod machine. For its aftermarket choices and been around for awhile. I have no complaints, I actually really like this machine. I hope this review doesn't curse me lol.

A great handy product. We bought it for convenience and it as proved itself that and more.

Purchased this Nespresso pod compatible machine a few weeks ago. After having a a full espresso machine for many years, we were after something more simple, and cleaner, but still produces a decent coffee with a steam wand for milk built in. This is perfect! So easy to use, zero mess, and milk turns out good! The machine itself looks so neat and tidy on the bench taking up far less space than our old machine. We opted for the Damson Blue colour, which I love so much that now I’ve ordered the matching kettle and toaster (even though my current ones are fine!) I just love the look. Highly recommend this machine if you want to make decent coffee without the hassle and mess of an espresso machine, and you don’t want a seperate milk frothier. This is all in one, easy to use, compact and looks pretty! 🤩

At first this coffee maker worked alright. But after about 6 months, it started doing this thing where it brews for about 30 seconds, then stops for a couple minutes. This goes on for awhile until your pot is brewed, but the problem is that it takes about half an hour to brew a 5-cup pot of coffee. Not ideal if you’re trying to get ready quickly. Honestly I would not recommend this at all.

A great Coffee Machine i absolutely love it. It's easy to use it's quite an upgrade from my previous one.

Really have been enjoying using the Creatista as its quite the upgrade from my previous Nespresso Machine. However, sometimes the milk overheats, despite direct connection with jug and machine. Aside from that, I really love having my coffee from this machine every morning.

De Nespresso Creatista combineert stijl en gebruiksgemak met professionele melkopschuimopties. Ideaal voor luxe koffiespecialiteiten thuis. 4,5/5

That greatfull for good serv and so perfecto magnifit

Great little machine - small bench footprint - produces better than most barista coffee for 20% of the cost

The stainless on the side have marks that can’t be cleaned. I have quite a few of these machines ant different locations and although I love them they seem to have a flaw. I have had two now that water leaks into the pod box given to less in the cup. So I always have to press twice.

I have both the original and Vertuo machines but my old Citiz machine started leaking in the used capsule container. When I saw the deal to buy this at a cheaper price with purchase of 600 capsules, I bought this Creatista Plus machine and I love it! It has many options on coffee recipes as well as milk texture and temperature. I now enjoy the brewing process in addition to sipping delicious latte, cappuccino or flat white!

I was gifted the Creatista Plus two to three years ago after redoing my kitchen. I love this espresso machine. I love I can make a hot expresso on demand or a hot Cappuccino! I travel a great deal with my job and It is wonderful to purchase a several sleeves of pods for half of the US price, however the US price is much less expensive than coffee out! Kuddos!

As an owner of three Nespresso machines (Vertuo Plus, Inissia, and the Creatista Plus), I can confidently say this one takes the cake! The Creatista Plus has completely elevated my coffee-making experience. The built-in milk frother is incredible—perfect for creating velvety microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos, with customizable temperature and texture. I love how durable it feels, and the sleek stainless-steel design.

We bought this machine 8 years ago and we are happy with it, Doesn't take much room on the counter and the coffee is good.

This barista is awesome for those who love coffee and a barista taste but don’t have much time to prepare every single step of a barista coffee. Nespresso coffee pods have a better taste. It’s easy to clean, the milk frothing is awesome

Excellent crema, large water storage, looks good, space saving. It doesn’t make foam as good as the Nespresso stand alone foamer, at least with plant based Barista style “milks”.
