 Reasons to buy: Rapid Cappuccino system, Cleaning alerts, large pod tray and large water tank Reasons to avoid: Rapid Cappuccino system requires disassembly and cleaning after each use. If you don't have the budget for the Creatista Plus and still love a milky coffee, then the Lattissima One is a good mid-range alternative. Its removable Rapid Cappuccino System is easy to use and clean and gives consistent frothy milk. The Lattissima One also has convenient lights to indicate when you need to descale the machine and when the Rapid Cappuccino System needs to be cleaned. This is good for extending the shelf life of the machine. Machines to avoid We have noticed that any automatic Nespresso machine with a powered/motorized pod release mechanism has issues with extractions and leaking water. There are also known faults with some of these models and Nespresso have since discontinued them. The models to avoid include the U Model and U & Milk model and more recently the Prodigio. The Essenza Mini is our Best Nespresso Machine for 0000 due to the fact it is cheap, compact and makes a great espresso. However everyone is different and hopefully our suggestions will help you with your purhcase.
