DéLonghi EN670B Nespresso Lattissima Reviews
Pros: convenience, tastes alright, nice looking machines
Cons: the 'nespresso boutiques' are awful, their insistence on keeping records, it's by Nestle, lattes not hot enough, fiddly to clean
Overall: First up I have to say that I would never have bought this for myself, due to ethical concerns about Nestle. However, for my boyfriend it is perfect: a very quick latte first thing in the morning before work without the mess and fuss of dealing with coffee grounds - to be honest, I don't think he would have used a 'proper' coffee machine. If I had my time again, I would buy a cheaper model such as the Pixie and added milk frother; the Latissima takes up a lot more benchtop space (prime real estate in his kitchen) and is more fiddly to clean. We've also already had to return it under warranty due to the milk pipes getting clogged (he was using full fat milk but I think it'll be ok now that some tips on cleaning have been provided & light milk is used). The thing that is quite irritating about this machine is that you have to put your coffee into the microwave for 15 seconds to heat it properly as it is lukewarm at best. Also very hard to swallow is the deeply irritating Nescafe boutique where we buy the capsules - the faux classy 'conoisseur' attitude and invasive insistence on keeping your purchases on record (fine if it's optional e.g. like a supermarket reward card, but maybe we don't want to be kept such a tight track of). It's great that they recycle the packaging (if they do what they say they do) and actually some of the coffees are quite nice. Hopefully they can start selling some fair trade capsules soon......

Pros: Makes the same coffee/latte each time
Overall: I have owned a few coffee machines over the years, and I have to say that I love this one best! The capsules are cheap (68 cents each) and it makes really, really good lattes. So good that I end up having several each day :) The best feature is that you can store the milk container in the fridge without having to wash it up each time. Saves a lot of time!

Pros: Easy to use. Looks great. Variety in coffee flavored and the automatic froth function on it.
Cons: Coffee not hot enough
Overall: I bought my machine off a lady on eBay who had it and didn't like how strong the coffee was.
I luv it, but like others find that the coffee isn't hot enough for me. Luv the milk froth part. I owned
A Breville coffee machine which I luved before this and just find this machine so quick and easy
To use in comparison to my Breville one.

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Takes a while to perfect coffee strength
Overall: Easy to use machine for easy, tasty coffee. Visually pleasing yet functional. Takes a while to perfect taste of coffee by using the buttons in a custom way rather than simply pressing to finish. Tastes just like at the coffee shop but without the hassle of grinding and twisting like other models.

Pros: tasty, easy to use and easy to clean.
Cons: need to be careful of frother aim, expensive but ease of use and taste make it worth it.
Overall: The easy to use capsules make this system great to use and easy to clean. The capsules come in 16 different flavours including decaff so you can have a lovely cup at night without over-caffinating.
It's ease of use means even technophobe husbands can make the perfect cup which is great on lazy sunday mornings when you feel like being spoilt.
You can put the milk container in the fridge for storage, but i find as it is not airtight the milk can quickly go sour. I find it easier to fill it just enough to make the coffee and clean the container straight away.
So far have only ordered one lot of capsules but they arrived within a couple of days and I am still going on the first batch.
The only painful thing for me is that you have to be extra careful to make sure that the milk frother is actually aimed at the cup, or else a big mess can ensue. But after a couple of times you learn to double check :)

Here's a list of questions other people have asked about DéLonghi EN670B Nespresso Lattissima
I cannot seem to get a strong enough cup of coffee. What am I doing wrong? HelenB
Helen B asked on Apr 15, 2012
What capsule r u using? U might need to buy the strong oness. Also what size cup r u using as the capsules show u what size cup they shld b used in. I use a large coffee cup and do almost 3/4 steamed milk in mine and 1/4 coffee and always serm to get a perfect one all the time. I find by doing this the strong capsules r too strong for me so ive moved down from the 10 or 9 strength capsules to a 5 or 3 and find these perfect. On saying that though everyones taste buds r different and a strong coffee to one person might not b strong enough for another. Hope this helps a little.
Charli_Walsh replied on Apr 16, 2012
Yeh it can be a bit like that- I use the black and push the big cup button... I have also used two greens to get the desired strength. Coffee shops tend to put in 2 shots so you are probably comparing this?
klg81 replied on Apr 16, 2012
Thank you both so much for your answers. Am using both an ordinary cup & saucer type also tried the coffee mug for a flat white. Even with the Risetto it does not seem to be strong enough. Had not thought about two shots - perhaps will give that a try. Am waiting on more capsules - only got the tester with one of each so guess a bit more practice will solve.
Helen B replied on Apr 17, 2012
I do not seem - even with - Ristretto - to be able to get a strong enough cup of coffee.
Helen B asked on Apr 15, 2012
Any ideas on how to make milk hotter?
Bob asked on Dec 16, 2011
Has anyone had the problem after washing the milk frother, the next time you use it? it bubbles and hardly any milk comes out, and it's boiling hot which destroys the taste of the coffee.
Janet asked on Nov 13, 2011
I do every now and then. not sure if there is a blockage in the tube somewhere but it isn't all the time. I have got into the habit of cleaning it straight after and not using it to store milk, as i find it goes off to quickly. I just wish hubby would do the same.
Laura-of-quamby replied on Nov 16, 2011
Oh, and I find that if you quickly pulse the cleaning steam thing through it it clears the blockage and it flows right again
Laura-of-quamby replied on Nov 16, 2011
Yes I find the same...i have to remember to pulse the steam through otherwise it gets quite clogged up..Sometimes I find also that its not the clogging but it has run out of water..not that you have done that in your case...just what i have experienced.
klg81 replied on Nov 30, 2011
Has anyone used the Mr Coffeebud refillable pods in the Lattissima - any problems?
Helen asked on Sep 27, 2011
I also use the Lattissima but haven't heard about the refillable pods. Sorry I can't help.
