De'Longhi Nespresso Gran Lattissima EN640.B, Single-Serve Capsule Coffee Machine, Automatic Frothed Milk, 19 Bar Pressure, Cappuccino and Latte, 1400W, Black

This is just the best compact coffee machine ever and I love it. It delivers multiple drink options, using the nespresso pods - which are available from loads of places now. You can get a lovely high-street coffee for as little as 23p. But what I love is the single button drink selection which includes both the coffee - and heated steamed or frothy milk. Pop in the pod - select latte, or cappuccino - and it does it all for you. Or if you want a hot chocolate - this will give you all the milk you need. And of course it also delivers the espresso and lungo The whole unit is compact, ergonomic, has a robust build quality, and is really easy to clean. The bits come off easily and can even go into the dishwasher. The whole machine is so well thought out and looks really great on the counter. The only negative point I will make is it should include a long thin brush which can fit into the milk frother tubes. Easy to find on Amazon - but should really be in the pack. Not a strong enough reason to lose a star.

Nespresso Gran Lattissima Pro This was purchased to replace my ageing trusty Lattissima One which has given me a excellent service .I decided on this machine as it has more options and it holds a lot more milk So far so good we get good quality coffee out of it and it is plenty hot enough It is easy enough to use the only negative is the cleaning of the milk container is a bit more harder than my old machine There is also a huge variation of pods available as well for all tastes ILLY and Lavazza being our choice .We also had a bean to cup machine but they are time consuming and cost a lot more and in my opinion are no better as you are stuck with the beans you put in them It is true that beans are cheaper but at least with pods you can have what you want ok they cost a lot more but you still get a cuppa for about 50 pence which is a lot cheaper than the coffee shops And with Nespresso they have a few shops where you can taste some of there coffees

I purchased this for my wife last Christmas as my daughter has the exact same model and we like the range of drinks that it makes. On average the machine makes five or six cups of coffee with frothy milk daily and we love the end result, just like getting it from out favourite coffee shop. We have, however, encountered an annoying issue which is the frequency it requires descaling (recommended timeframe in the instructions is every 2-4 months). Despite using filtered water (we have a ‘Waterdrop’ filter system installed), the descale warning light comes on at least every 4-5 weeks, and most recently after just 17 days. If the machine is not descaled within a few days of the warning light illuminating it simply shuts down and stops working. We use Oust brand de-scaler. Contacted Product Support, the assistant was very helpful and suggested we did a system reset (made no difference) and a spoof descale (go through the process with just plain water). So, eight months after an expensive purchase and seven descale cycles later, we are not sure if we have a product that will reliable for what we had hoped to be years to come. Fortunately, we kept our cheap old Magimix Nespresso coffee machine plus our milk frother which serve as a back-up when we haven’t the time to spend half an hour descaling. We are feeling a bit twitchy about how long this machine will last, certainly expected better having spent so much money. I chose to do the review today as the Amazon product support feedback request did not allow me to provide a fair response to the helpfulness of the manufacturer’s assistant.

Needed a replacement after our old Nespresso machine finally retired. The different coffee options, including cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white etc plus the hot milk and hot foam options are a big step up from our previous machine. Easy to set up, easy to clean. The milk tank is dishwasher safe (and recommended). The appearance is very high quality and is smart in our kitchen. The size doesn't take up too much room and the speed in which the temperature of the water and milk are ready is about 15 seconds. A great buy!

This would be an amazing machine if it actually worked. Short version: the milk dispensing unit stopped dispensing milk, and the machine overheats with each use. Long version: Our trusty Latissima Touch finally died after many years of reliable service. So we decided to upgrade to the Gran Latissima. We bought one of these, but it was faulty on arrival: the milk dispenser would not dispense any milk. It simply created a lot of steam and then overheated. So I returned the faulty machine and bought a second one. This one was great for about two weeks. Whilst it was working, we observed a number of benefits vs the Latissima Touch: 1. The self-cleaning is much easier. You just turn the nozzle, and then it does the cleaning without having to hold the button down. 2. The drip tray design is much improved. The Touch used to collect a lot of liquid in the same container as the used coffee pods. But with the Gran, the liquid falls into a second compartment below the used pods compartment. This is a great improvement. But now the bad... After two weeks of working, it developed the same issue as the first. The milk container stopped dispensing milk. It simply steamed and the machine goes into its "overheat cycle". (Where two sets of buttons flash alternatively.) We tried a number of things, e.g. - Different milks (e.g. skimmed and semi-skimmed) - Dismanting and cleanign the milk unit in the dish washer. - Making sure all connections are secure. None of these have made a difference. Having since checked feedback on this machine, as well as reading Reddit threads, I see that this is a common issue with this machine, and there are no real solutions. So I've returned this machine, and we're going to buy a new Touch instead.

Replaced previous all in one (which we really liked) after it finally gave up. Was nervous after seeing mixed reviews about leakage, but we’ve had it a few months now and no problems at all. We like the more extensive range of drinks and the temperature of the milk is higher than the old model.

I wanted to buy coffee machine for work, because there isn't one in our office. I did my research on types of the machines, to decide which will be the best to keep in my room and chose Nespresso. I bought used one from Warehouse, chose Used Good at quite decent discount. I was happy to see it looked brand new and was only missing free capsules. I tested the machine for couple of days at home, to see how it works and bought a few different capsules for start. Ikea glass is a bit too tall, so switched to use beer glass, which has perfect size. At work, I keep the machine on make shift table from its own box. I take it home from time to time, to clean it properly. It's easy to pack and transport in the car. Cleaning is easy process. I wash milk container every day after use and other parts when required. I didn't run descalation process yet. So far, I'm happy with product and didn't notice any faults mentioned in previous reviews.

Fantastic machine ! Love the coffee pod options too. Glad I had picked the original over the vertuo option. Coffee is fantastic !
