Crew Review
Pros
- Stunning Design - The Lattissima's gorgeous, striking design is an eye catching appliance on your countertop
- Ease of Use - The single cup action is incredibly easy to use, especially with a removable milk container that you can store in the refrigerator between uses
- Tailored Brew - Dial in your perfect drink by controlling the amount of coffee, water, milk and foam used to brew
|
Cons
- Foaming Function - Mixed reviews on the reliability of this part of the machine; some folks have had issues with the spout sputtering milk right after use, but a manufacturer tip is to slide the plastic foam level indicator back and forth a few times on the top of the milk container, the foaming function will function properly again (apparently, if the indicator slightly moves off the mark, it will only pour milk instead of frothing)
- Brew Temperature - A few folks have reported that the coffee's brew temperature isn't as hot as they'd like it; if you like your coffee scalding hot so that it can cool down while you commute to work, this machine may miss that mark for you
- Capsule Only - The Lattissima uses Nespresso-specific coffee capsules only, which can be quite pricey (about $.70/each, purchasable direct from Nespresso only). If you want to use your own coffee or don't like the environmental impact of this type of setup, this is not the machine for you

Nespresso Capsule Coffee
Capsules can be ordered directly from Nespresso via phone (800) 562-1465 or online www.nespresso.com. There are twelve premium coffee varieties offering an infinite number of exceptional tasting moments.
Espressos (1.35 oz. espresso shot): 9 varieties, which are very diverse in personality, to be savored in a small cup.
- Ristretto: [strength: 10 out of 10] Ristretto is the typical Italian espresso. It is a short, full-bodied and intense coffee with a pleasantly lingering taste. It is composed essentially of the finest South American Arabicas from Columbia and Brazil. It also contains finely acidic East African Arabicas and a hint of racy Robusta from Togo, which is roasted separately before blending to create a particularly subtle and original bouquet.
- Arpeggio: [strength: 9 out of 10] Arpeggio is a Mediterranean blend with a strong character, intense body and long, exquisite aftertaste. This highly roasted blend is made from the finest Southern and Central American Arabicas. Its hint of cocoa and its rich, thick crema remain to the last sip.
- Roma: [strength: 8 out of 10] With its mildly toasted and woody notes, obtained by light roasting, Roma is the ideal coffee for a short espresso which is not too strong. Roma is a subtle balance of finesse, strength and fullness. It is composed of Arabicas grown at high altitudes in Central America which guarantee finesse, and Brazilian and African coffees which add body and depth on the palate.
- Livanto: [strength: 6 out of 10] Livanto is a uniquely rounded and well-balanced espresso with a delicate woody and cereal boquet. It is a result of the slightly sustained roasting of the very finest Brazilian and Central American Arabicas.
- Capriccio: [strength: 5 out of 10] Capriccio is an espresso with a rich bouquet of which distinct cereal notes are the most dominant. The presence of South American Arabicas grown in high altitudes gives this blend a touch of acidity and a fine aromatic note. Its richness is derived from just the right balance of lightly roasted Brazilian Arabica and a hint of Central African Robusta.
- Volluto: [strength: 4 out of 10] This blend consists predominantly of lightly roasted Brazilian Arabica with its subtle, yet present body and hints of biscuit notes, redolent of cereal. Its character is enhanced by just enough Columbian Arabica to guarantee a touch of acidity and a fresh and light fruitiness. Volluto is Nespressos first 100% sustainable quality premium blend coffee.
- Cosi: [strength: 3 out of 10] Cosi is a lightly roasted espresso with high typicity and a refreshing acidity. The combination of the finest East African Arabicas imbues this blend with a characteristic hint of lemon, which is balanced by the mildness of Central and South Amarican Arabicas.
- Decaffeinato Intenso: [strength: 7 out of 10] Hightly roasted with subtle hints of cocoa and cereal, together with an intense body, this decaffeinated variety has all the features of a typically strong espresso. The strong roasting of Latin American Arabicas and a touch of Robusta give this coffee rich and intense taste.
- Decaffeinato: [strength: 2 out of 10] This is a light and delicate decaffeinated blend, which strikes a good balance between mildness and acidity. A light roasting highlights the fruit and wine notes of Columbian Arabica in this blend, which also incorporates South American Arabica and a dash of African Robusta.
- Lungos: Mild and intense coffees, which are developed especially to be enjoyed in a large cup (3.75 oz/110 ml).
- Vivalto: [strength: 6 out of 10] Vivalto is an intense Lungo which combines pleasantly roasted and subtle, floral notes. The best South American Arabicas from high altitudes give this blend its balance and light acidity. The lighter roasting of East African Arabica highlights its floral note, while the additional of Brazilian 'Sud de Minas' coffee strengthens its character and enhances its bitterness.
- Finezzo: [strength: 4 out of 10] Finezzo is a delicate and beautifully balanced Lungo with a light body. This blend is made from the finest Arabicas grown at high altitudes in Central America and of 'Sud de Minas' Arabica from Brazil, which provides balance and mildness. The addition of East African Arabicas brings out fine citrus notes, while a touch of African Robusta adds a hint of cereal and accentuates its character.
- Decaffeinato Lungo: [strength: 5 out of 10] Decaffeinato Lungo has a smooth body and is well-rounded on the palate. It is a slow and sustained roast which reveals the tasty, toasted and cereal notes of the finest Brazilian and Columbian Arabicas, enhanced by a touch of carefully selected Robusta.
