This helped address a lot of questions. I'm going with the pro. Thanks!

I think this was the best comparison video I have ever seen. Very informative and exactly what I was looking for - 10/10

Fantastic comparison! I’m definitely leaning towards the pro version now! Is there a huge difference in electricity requirements? The fact it has a separate water dispenser is a really nice feature to me! My mother always makes hot chocolate mixes for the winter season and I can see using the hot water all the time!

Thank you, you answered my question about water dispensing!

Very good no nonsense review, and devoid, thankfully, of any irritating music track. Well done.

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make the comparison, this will really help!

Great video and review, it allowed me to finally make a clear decision on which machine to purchase, being the only coffee drinker in my house the Plus will be perfect for me!! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the Video!! Love your accented!!! We just got the plus and will keep it for now. Aloha from Maui Hawaii!!🌸🌸

To me it's a bit misleading to wait so long to finish the drink on the Plus. They both finished the shot at the same time, so what stopped you from pressing the button on the top to start the milk?

My thoughts exactly. The plus says "start milk" or something like that in the display. It would have given a much more useful idea of the difference between the two machines.

Thanks Crystal. Last night I ordered the Pro to replace my broken Maestria.

Your video was very informative and helpful to me. Thank you.

you could have started the milk a lot quicker on the plus machine, I have one, And its fantastic.

Thank you so much for making this! I've been debating coffee machines for a week and this really helped.

Thank you that helps a lot- goin for the Pro!

¡Amazing! Thank you for sharing... The extra hot water by-passing the capsule its absolutely the difference!!!

i have the Plus. And i use the milk steam function to heat up water, u only need to do it 1.5X for the water to BOIL. (You do need lift the milk jug a bit so it doesn't touch the temperature sensor at the bottom so it doesn't stop the steam. Or u can just fold one sheet of paper towel to put it under the jug to block the contact like i do.)

Great review! Thank you very much. I think I get every information I need.

Great comparison from both machines made my choice very easy. Thanks

Great video thank you. It was a great comparison. I'm looking to upgrade from the latissima touch and I think the pro is the way to go.

Such a great review!! Very informative thank you!!!

What a great review. Thanks a lot for this.

Very helpful video , thank you so much , i want to ask about the “milk frothing only “ option in both , and i have a question about the milk steamer if there is an option to open and close it manually to clean it from any milk residue

Great thanks for the info. Was looking at a Creatista now I know which one I like best! :)

Hi Crystal, great review. I have both machines at the moment. Cannot get the pro to froth milk to a more dense consistency, it is always very airy any suggestions ? THANK YOU. Irene

Great review thank You! Mad my descision a lot easier. You mentioned that you can personolize your ‘Chrysal Coffee’. Can you Please explain how that works? Thank you very much. Kitty

Crystal, Thank you very much for the comparison between the Nespresso Plus and the Pro. I have watched several videos about the different types of expresso machines and your video was much better than most of the others. We bought our Nespresso, Creatista Pro on Amazon for $637.46. Ordered it on November 27, 2023, and it was delivered three days later on November 30th. We have been experimenting with it for a few days now and like it very much! However, I’m still not sure how to list my own drink in the menu. I know you said that you go to settings, but when I did, I still couldn’t figure it out, I will give it another try. It would have been helpful if you had gone through the process of how to name your own drinks. Updated 4-5-24; Also, You mentioned that the Pro heats both the water and the milk at the same time. Thay may be true in the United Kingdom, but not in the United States. I think that since we only have a 120-volt system in America it can't handle heating both sides at the same time, so it just does one side of a time. Just as a suggestion you might consider doing a Descaler video. Thanks for making such a great video!

So, so, so helpful! Thank you so much Crystal! After 7 1/2 years using my old Nespresso DeLonghi, it broke down, which brings me to your vid. This video was so helpful in letting me know that the Nespresso Creatista Pro is a better fit for me than the Plus. Thank you again!

wow! absolutely awesome brilliant amazing video. thank you so much for taking the time to make it. goes into great detail and very thorough. extremely helpful. thank you... ps I love your nails... what colour is that?

Thank you 🙏 I just ordered my pro

great review thanks it helped me decide which one to buy

It was a perfect explenation and i thank you for that. Jus may i would like to know, how is thier fuction to produce big milk foam ( like bar) ?

Thanks for your review! I wonder if you could add coffee drinks like a cortado to the menu on the Pro?

I agree with needing to change the water tank if you dont use it alot.I found mold in mine once

Great information. Thanks!

great video but one can start doing the milk with the plus a lot earlier, so the waiting time is not THAT long...

@RE7Hazuki

Ай бұрын

I thought that, there would probably only be 20-30 seconds difference.

Good review, but the difference in time saved by brewing coffee and steaming milk at the same time is minimal. The milk takes 1 to 1.5 minutes to steam anyway, so all you're saving is the 15 seconds or so needed to brew separately with the Plus.

Great comparison. Thank you. I have the plus and there is always room for improvement! Automation is the name of the game. The touch screen on the pro is nice too. You payz your price. The plus is a great machine if you are not in a hurry! Many thanks again.

Great comp. Thank you.

Hi. Just bought a Creatista Plus, and while i was trying to learn a bit more about it, found your video. Good video btw. I have a question, my machine is making coffee with way less "cream" than all my previous Nespresso machines. Is it because is brand new or is this something i will have to talk to Nespresso about because my machine could be at fault? Thanks.

Thank you, very helpful

Hi, thank you so much for this helpfull video. Do you know if it's possible to froth cold milk for a iced cappuccino with the Creatista Plus?

Very good comparison. Thank you.

Thanks for the video comparison, which parts are made of plastics and metal ?

Excellent comparison, thank you so much! Your Plus machine looks like brand-new! Please share what cloth/liquid you use to keep them in this wonderful condition 🙏 Thank you!

Thank you for this great, informative video. :)

That was Chrystal Clear. Thank you so much!

I’ve been trying to decide which one to buy and I do like the pro model better even though it’s much more expensive. I really like the fact that it froths milk at the same time. I want the hot water dispenser as well as I’m the type of person who would add that to my coffee and the pro has that option. I really like the screen on top which is a touch screen. I’m going to buy the pro model as it’s currently on sale for 30 % off the retail. Thanks for the comparison video.

Thanks for sharing. Great video! Much appreciated. I'm in between the pro and a Delonghi pro because my 2 weeks old Nespresso doesn't give me good milk for latte art. For cappuccino it's good enough but it leaves wanting for a better smoother and denser milk. I'm curious how the pro handles the milk. But thanks for sharing!

Very comprehensive and well set out review. Made my decision very clear!

Thank you Gouri, What did you go for?

Another consideration is the base of the Pro is wider so a mug can easily rest with the milk jug alongside

Thanks for the review.Can i use milk frother twice to heat milk better or can not because of the temperature sensor?Because we(Turkish people) prefer the drinks very hot and the temperature is very important for me.

Hi Great video! Could you tell me how tall a cup you could get under the spout of the pro model, I’m thinking travel cup here. Thank you in advance

It would be cool if u could test the coffee pod brands for taste and color? Great video, fingers crossed we can get the pro :)

Great comparison video! I purchased the Pro and my machine does not make espresso and heat / froth milk simultaneously. It does this in sequence (just like the Creatista plus). I did a little research and discovered the reason has to do with the different Voltage used in the US that limits this functionality. It’s not a dealbreaker but, I would be curious to hear if anyone else ran into this “issue” with the Creatista Pro?

Thank you very much for this review. Pod machines of any type were totally new to us and we had narrowed our choice down to these very two machines when I found your video. We were leaning towards the Plus machine but your video saved us an expensive mistake and we've bought a Creatista Pro.

Thank you so much for the comparison! You've convinced me that the Pro is the better option for us. I didn't use your link to buy because I don't live in Europe.

Excellent comparative review! Exactly what I was after.

Great demonstration of the differences between the Pro and the Plus. One thing that may add to the advantage of the Pro is in making an Americano. I have been taught by my Italian friend that an Americano is made by pouring an Espresso into a cup of hot water. Thus the separate hot water dispenser is a plus.

Hi, I know this is an old video now but do you have the height dimension of the Plus with the pod arm up? We have limited under counter height space so it may not fit. Great review by the way.

Great video thanks 👍☕

Great info, thanks 👍

Hi Crystal, how hotis a finished drink when selecting the hottest milk temperature please? I find with the vertuo machines my finished drink is just not that hot. Thanks

I like the plus . I like tea made from kettle because I boil ginger smashed . Cloves .. or cardamon ..or mix some fresh herbs ... sage kettles are see through and looks nice.... when I get cold and cough these herbs help me instead of antibiotic .... there fore I would buy kettle and coffee maker .

Thank you for comparing Sage Creatista Plus and Pro. Good video. Only thing not mentioned, was how to clean parts. Still.... think we go and have a look for the Pro. Some reviews mention that the milk froth isn't good and temperature of the coffee low. What are your experiences with that? Regards, Léon - Leiden. Netherlands.

super merci beaucoup, cela m'a bien aidé à choisir.

Thanks for the video but I have a question about the dimensions. You can only just find that the depth of the pro is 43cm. How do you measure this? Is the little thingy at the top of the water tank included? What's the depth from the front of the footprint to the back? I want to put it on a casule holder that is 40.5cm deep. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed video - I'm just trying to decide whether I want to upgrade from my Plus to a Pro and this video laid it all out nicely. Also, EPCOT fan?

My wife bought me the plus from John Lewis for £319 ( stainless steel) and absolutely love such a consistent coffee not had a bad one yet, I had a dualit coffee machine before but such a pain cleaning it afterwards I.e discarding coffee grinds and cleaning the milk wand , this machine as made it so much easier to do , faster then boiling the kettle and making an instant rancid coffee, the pro looks good but to me personally not worth the extra cost

Planning with Crystal to be fair I like anything from 9-13 range all good for cappacino and latte and 4range for espresso, I seem to enjoy ispirazione Italians and Kazaa , only had it since 10th of April really missed coffee shop coffee so my wife thought it would make a great present and she wasn’t wrong , I just wished I bought a nespresso machine before buying the the dualit don’t get me wrong the dualit was well made and looked good but just doesn’t touch this machine in ease of use and taste. I did enjoy illy coffee but found out you can now buy them as a nespresso pod so might give them a try

Can you froth other types of milk? like almond ?

I like the feature on the pro allowing to do both things at once but aesthetically I like the look of the plus better, it’s cleaner looking. I got the plus. Thanks for the great information.

I have an issue with the hotness of the breville machines. And they recommended these - is it hotter?

Hi! I have got the cheaper one as J520. The espresso mode is slighty mild neither cold nor warm. Is it normal? If I prepare a coffee without milk I would like to have it warm. Does it have an option for making a hot espresso in this machine?

Thank you!!! 🙏🏻

Hi, I’m interest in buying the Pro, but here in USA they only sell the plus. Can you help me where can I buy the pro? Thanks

Great comparison. We have the plus and it's great. I don't think the upgrade would be worth the extra cost for us. I quite like having to press for milk after the coffee has been dispensed.

Can you use fresh grounds or only capsules?
