Creatista Plus Breville Stainles­s Steel

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!
