I've been reviewing Nespresso machines for years, but I the Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima is the only one I've ever given five stars. It offers everything I want from a single-serve coffee maker, and despite its small frame, it can make everything from long iced coffees to latte macchiatos.
One of the very few downsides of this coffee maker is its price, because for $500 you could buy one of the best coffee makers that can grind and brew espresso with the touch of a button, so when I saw that the Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima is 39% off in this Black Friday Amazon deal, I knew it was too good to miss.
Until today, the lowest price I'd seen for this machine was $332, and its Black Friday price knocks an extra $30 off that. There's a catch to this deal though — you'll have to opt for the Vertuo Lattissima in the white colorway, or pay an extra $47 for the black.
3 reasons why I love the Nespresso Vertuo Lattisima
1. It can brew any size drink
The Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima has a capacity of 57fl oz, so you'll usually be able to get through a morning's worth of drinks before you need to refill it. If you do prefer to brew long coffee though, this coffee maker can make drinks up to a Carafe measurement, and it automatically adjusts the brewing mode depending on the capsule you add.
This works with a smart barcode system on the side of Vertuo capsules which adjusts the size of your drink depending on the type of capsule you add. So if you add an espresso capsule it won't over-extract your coffee, but if you want a full mug, a larger capsule will ensure this is never watery.
2. Milk steaming is easy and delicious
The removable milk container on the Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima couldn't be easier to fit into place and remove for refilling or storing in the fridge. It has on-board settings depending on the level of steam you want in your drink, and you can choose between a Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, or Extra Hot Foam with the controls of the brewing unit.
When testing I enjoyed the consistency of this milk, which wasn't too rigid to drink and didn't separate from my coffee.
3. It's the perfect size
I have a small kitchen, but I love to drink a range of coffee beverages, so a small coffee maker that can do a lot of things is always a winner in my book. The Nespresso Vertuo Lattissima is 16"D x 7.5"W x 12.4"H and only weighs 14 pounds, so it's a space-efficient option that won't make you feel like you're compromising.
