Great piece of equipment – had this machine for 9 years and had more than 10,000 cup of coffee with this machine, very impressed with the quality of the Machine, after 9 years started to loose it's performance which I believe it is normal for its age. It still works but not with same coffee temperature :) Show details
The best coffee machine ever – The machine is simple and easy to use we put the milk container in the fridge when not using it and it makes the best coffee, I could never go back to instant coffeee again, the coffee is made in 1.5 minutes and the foam is perfect on the top. Show details
Machine was great until it wasn't. Milk not dispensing correctly even after repair – I have had my machine a few years now and it has made next to perfect coffee with perfect and consistent milk froth over that time. I love this machine, perfect size and aesthetics, if only it was still working correctly. In the past month the milk froth has been very inconsistent, where the machine will start making the froth but will stop and… Read more
start, pushing air and milk and overly bubbly poor froth. Often I will have to keep re-pressing the button to get enough froth as it's not aerating it correctly and in some cases not at all. The stopping and starting of the milk dispensing seems like a boiler or pressure issue to me and the machine certainly makes more gurgling noises from the right side than it ever did. I had tested everything and descaled, reset machine, new milk, reset the levels of coffee and milk and reset the correct water hardness settings and ensured the jug was assembled with the take-up tube aligned as required.
I sent my machine to a registered repair agent and finally got the machine back, they claimed in was simply the milk jug head, and that they tested it 10 times and was working correctly. I questioned the agent but hoped that a proper clean of all parts and a new milk jug head may have resolved my issue. I was wrong, on the first coffee the problem was evident. I have again set the levels and water hardness but the problem remains. The milk froth is inconsistent and it continues to stop and start as if the boiler or pressure cannot be maintained for a sustained time to actually make the milk part of the beverage.
What are my options, do I send this to another more reputable repair agent that will actually listen to my problem and understand it. Can Delonghi shed some light on this issue and suggest what the problem might be? Could it be the milk boiler? BTW the coffee side of the machine is still performing correctly and has never had any issues

Shocking uncaring disinterested customer service – 1/2/2019. I have just hung up from the Nespresso Service department having wasted about 90 minutes being pushed through all sorts of hoops regarding my faulty Latisimo Plus Machine. This is the third time it's been back to the doctor for repairs and once again I'm slugged for an additional $130.00. I have two machines both of which have been… Read more
playing up regularly.
The girl I spoke to regarding the repair couldn't care less. After explaining that I wasn't a fool and understood how to use the machine, I was put onto her supervisor who had an even less helpful manner.
I'm a member of the Nespresso Club (which appears to be meaningless) and have been a loyal customer for years with two machines. All of this means nothing.
I'm now putting together my complaint to the OFT regarding these guys and the rubbish product they are selling - AND the rubbish customer service they provide.
If you can buy a different machine - buy it.
The Nespresso people are utterly unconcerned regarding the satisfaction and care of their clients and couldn't care less.
Very disappointed.
The Kim Jong Un of coffee machines – Seriously this machine is awesome, it literally should be called Kim Jong Delonghi. I bought this from Myers with engagement gift cards in 2012 this thing is indestructible not only has it out lasted many other home appliances, but it also has out lasted my marriage (although you would expect your coffee machine to last longer than 2 years) this… Read more
unit has travelled to multiple mine sites with me and been abused more than Barnaby Joyce's staffers and unlike Barnaby's marriage this thing is still going and going strong. The only draw back is the milk jug can get a nasty smell to it, but you can buy milk cleaning agents to fix this, unlike the previous mentioned lads marriage there's not a lot in a bottle that will help there. Cannot recommend this unit any more highly well done Delonghi champion effort my Kim Jong Delonghi AKA Bessie salutes you!!!
Pros
You want coffee, this bad boy will give you coffee and good coffee at that
Minimal cleaning and she's ready to go
Supermarket pods have made it cheaper for coffee
Tough, indestructible, Bullet proof (don't test the last one) and very reliable
Will outlast your marriage (probably or definitely in Barnaby's case)
Brings work mates together
Cons
Make sure you clean the milk jug regularly (not really a con more just a warning)
Great fully automatic at a touch of a button with a major downfall for me – I bought this machine as I wanted a fully automatic great tasting coffee at a touch of a button and this machine does just that! Although, since having it I have come to realise that it’s not very hygienic sadly. Many times upon visiting a Nespresso Boutique, I was shown the added convenience of storing the left over milk straight into the… Read more
fridge- BONUS I thought lol but I found that the milk went off before the due date (hot water somehow enters the container) If you use it everyday this may not bother you. Though, it does have a plastic tubing in this milk container which is impossible to clean if you do not have a dishwasher & even then boiling water through plastic is toxic and wearing - this is where it fails for me.
Maybe if it had a tiny brush that fit in there for cleaning... that would be great but it doesn’t and unfortunately milk is one of those things you just cannot leave as it festers and makes us sick!
Quality of froth 3***
Extraction of coffee - all Nespresso capsule machines extract the coffee exactly the same
Ease of using this machine - 5****
Positive reviews
Brilliant machine and close to cafe quality coffee – I got the compact machine today as a back up during the COVID19 crisis and after a couple of issues with the pods initially I was able to make my first coffee. The coffee filter is easy to use once you figure out how to insert the pods and the milk frother is brilliant. It's very easy to clean too. It's also attractive on the bench. I love this machine and cannot believe I didn't buy it sooner as it's such a joy to use when I can't get to a cafe. Show details
Hope it never breaks! – Had for over 3 years. Works perfectly and is regularly used by 4 people in our home. Temperature is great and consistent. So much easier than our old machine to use. Would buy this same machine again but I see it is discontinued so I hope it lasts for many years to come Show details
I cannot live without my machine, I always have a spare backup machine on standby – I love my machine, I average drinking 6-8 coffees personally a day, crema beautiful, so compatible with all brands of coffee, I take my machine on holidays with me. The temperature is fantastic, no complaints, also use it for making tea, magic. as I said I cannot be without it Show details
Negative reviews
Will not froth milk – Called customer service. They offered no solutions other than pushing to sell me a new machine at a greater price than available online. Reading other reviews, I would agree that customer service is VERY POOR. Show details
waste of money .don't buy it – I bought Delonghi EN560B Nespresso Lattissima Touch Coffee Machine 3 days ago, now the milk is cold and i can't get hot milk ,or hot coffee, it was working for the 2 first days but now it make cold coffee. Show details
Purchased 30th April '19, no longer froths milk – Bought coffee machine 9 months ago, I followed cleaning instructions for the machine & milk frother but sadly coffee machine will not froth milk anymore. Phone Delonghi & they sent me another Milk Carafe which I received today. For 4th time in 5 days I descaled machine but orange light remains on which indicates it needs descaling. Used the new… Read more
milk carafe & it doesn't froth milk. Phoned Delonghi & I was asked to pack up machine & send via Courier to their repair centre in Sydney. I want a coffee machine that at least survives the 2 year warranty period & continues to work, not sit in a repair centre. Not good value for the price paid particularly as we now live in a throw away society which is where this machine belongs THE TIP.

Poor machine – Had so much trouble with this machine, sent it back after 1year for manufacture reset, some months later it started to play up again, after contacting Nespresso they informed me my machine was out of warranty & if I wanted to have it repaired it would cost me$150.00 , Ideclined their offer. Disappointed with this product! Show details
A bit of a Disappointment – Having owned two Jura fully automatic machines over the last 15 years I was not prepared to shell out the $2,000 for a new one after my J5 went to heaven. I remembered back to a pod machine I bought for a friend about 6 years ago .It was a nespresso and gave a nice cup of coffee ,so I decided to go down that path and purchased a Delonghi… Read more
Nespresso Lattissma plus after watching a few videos and a few reviews.
Having received the machine I tried a number of pods ranging from Coles , Nespresso,and Mycuppa and Espressoland.
What I found was disappointing.
The coffee was bitter and the water temperature was too hot .
The Coles brand was the worst
The Mycuppa brand boasted freshness and quality but they were just too mild .
The Nespresso pods were a mix from strong (bitter) to mild (weak)
Espressoland pods Hera not bad at all not as bitter as some .I have yet to try the Venus and Hermes from this company but first impression is they will be OK being Arabica beans and not the cheaper Robusta.
Noted also that the Hera boasts 6gm per cap which is better than the usual 5.1grams
Back to the machine
The shots in the glass were too small (40ml) and too weak (110ml)
I adjust the volume to about 60ml and 80 ml respectively.
It improved matters slightly but it in no way came close to the brew from the expensive machines.
The problem is the pods are too small, trying to extract a decent cup from 5ml of ground is just about impossible, because the expensive machines use around 10-15ml , so there you see the problem.
Add a bit of sugar and things improve and having said that I can say drinking the brew straight out of the machine as I have always done just did not hit the mark for me.
The milk frother does a really good job and the only way to kill that bitter flavour is to do it this way with a bit of sugar.
I will use the machine till it breaks but would steer clear of the pod machines in the future , they are just false economy.
You can pick up a decent fully auto for around $1,000 these days and when you consider the cost per cup is around 33cents you can see the pods , which range from the low forties to almost a dollar a shot soon eat up the difference in price.
In my calculation you are paying up to $99.00 a kilo for the pods versus $20.00 a kilo (on special) for the grounds.
Three to four times the price which means after 2 years of regular use it is no longer economical and the price of buying a better and more expensive machine begins to make a lot of sense.
Great machine – good size machine doesn’t take up much space on the bench. Love that you can store any unused milk in the fridge. Can easily make numerous coffees quickly. Easy to clean, all top dishwasher safe. Have had the machine for 5 yrs and have noticed the milk does froth as per the setting selected may be because it is old. Show details
Can’t live without it – We use this little wonder between 3 and 4 times every day. It makes a fantastic coffee that is nice and hot. We are so impressed that we have taken it on road trips and in our caravan to make sure we get the coffee we want every time. It’s so easy to use and clean that when we eventually wear it out we will get the new version of it. Show details
Compact and really easy to use – My sales team are very happy I purchased this for our office. Would recommend for home or small office use with the variety of pods available it's so easy to make a cuppa exactly the way you and your friends like it I can make up to 4 coffees by filling up the milk steamer. The coffee is great . It's easy to clean too Show details
great coffee – best coffee machine i have ever bought so easy to use coffee tastes fantastic and so fresh and hot, milk frother is the best thing in the world i cant live without and one button and you have a professionally made coffee in a matter of 2 minutes! how easy is that Show details
Cafe style coffees at home!! – Bought this coffee machine from Good guys on their VIP promotion night. I would say best decision I have ever made. This machine is so easy to use, so compact does not occupy much space in the kitchen and you can have best flavour coffees everyday. Nespresso capsules tastes the best!! Show details
Makes very nice cream coffee – Bought this because I love an early cuppa in the morning and sometimes lunch. The milk is just the right amount and foams really nicely on top. It's not super strong too and always makes the same tasting coffee. It was super hard to find more small cups so we use the main one and transfer into a different cup Show details
Enjoying this product – Very satisfied with this machine. The coffee produced is good, still trying out different flavours. The temperature is always correct but I wish the froth was a bit thicker. On the whole, very pleased. The instructions were easy to follow and it's easy to keep clean. It looks good on the bench. Show details

Easy to use and keep clean – We have had our machine now for almost 7 years. It is still working very well, easy to use and keep clean. It makes a great cup of coffee. The only thing is, it doesn't heat the milk hot enough for our liking, maybe because it is so old. Overall, we are still very happy with ours and happy to continue using it. Show details
Can’t start my day without it! – I purchased a Latissima Plus from the Good Guys when they were on special for $260. The build in milk frother makes for a beautiful cup of coffee every morning, it’s easy to clean in the dishwasher. The machine takes up very little bench space, and only takes a few a seconds to warm up. October 28th 2018 Update: Customer Service is… Read more
outstanding!
I love my coffee machine - it makes a beautiful cup of coffee, but that’s not what this review is about.
I had an issue with my machines descaling indicator being stuck on (my own fault, didn’t read the manual properly).
I contacted Nespresso Customer Care today (Manuel was the consultant) and received the best customer support I’ve ever been given. Manuel was thorough, patient, and invested in resolving the issue for me during the first call.
Thanks Nespresso!
Not the best – When I got this coffee machine I thought it was going to be the best. But sadly it didn’t live up to its expectations. The first few months of using this product it made great coffee. But sadly with time the coffee got worse and there was nothing you could really do about it. Show details
Very good .we are very satisfied – We are very satisfied with our delonghi coffee machine,, the quality produced is excellent with a selection of so many flavours, we use double insulated coffee glasses and there's no problem with our drinks being cold,Delonghi coffee machines also look so good ,over the time we have had our machine we have never regretted purchasing it ,, Show details
Love it! – Coffee tastes great, love that there is a wide variety of capsules to purchase. Easy to use, doesn’t take up too much space on the benchtop. Wish you could adjust water temperature would be my only complaint!! Cleaning is simple and all the accessories for cleaning store in the machine. Some parts are even fine in the dishwasher to clean (milk parts) Show details
best coffee at home – kept looking at this coffee machine for months. was spending money nearly every day on cuppucino. Went into a store and had this machine demo to us on how easy it is to use only one button to push to get a perfect coffee every time. would recommend this machine. Show details
No issues easy to use good coffee – Makes good coffee with just a touch of a button. Easy to use Milker, just pop into fridge and clean when needed, easy to take apart and clean. Can pop into dishwasher. Only (minor) issue I have is that the adjustable froth button seems to make the same froth milk regardless of setting. Overall, for the price range I would highly recommend it. … Read more · 1
As for coffee pods, there really isn’t any difference between Nespresso original or supermarket LOR brand. After trying both, we buy the LOR when on special.
Im still using the machine without any issues after 18 months.
Love it still – Makes great coffee - purchased nearly 10 years ago and it still brews a good drop. Doesn’t cope as well with generic capsules but I suppose this is to be expected. Easy to use and very quick. Would benefit from a heat setting! Overall it has been excellent value for money Show details
Makes superb coffee – We had this demoed to us in store and loved the tast we bought one and have had it for now a few months. It dose take a little time getting use to how to set it up but if you use it just prepair the second captual ready for the next use! The cream is fluffy and the way it should be and the range of caps are great! Show details
Great product, daily use – Easy to use, easy to program. Most of the detachable components are dishwasher safe. Easy to clean with the descaling kit - even tells you when it needs to be done, I know I wouldn't remember to do it every 600 capsules used or whatever it is! Built in milk frother is by far the best addition, it's what made us choose this model. Very happy with this product. Show details
Love this machine! – I love this machine so much I bought one for Dad! A very easy to use machine. Turn it on, lift lever to insert the coffee pod, press button to select coffee if will make, and hey presto your coffee is ready. To clean, press the button on the milk container for 20sec and put milk container back in the fridge until you want to make another coffee.… Read more
So easy!. If you want, you can program and save to suit your cup sizes and taste preferences. Once you set, it remembers it for ever more. The coffee is not super hot, so for those that like hot coffee I changed the energy-save function to 30min before cutting off (very easy to do, read the instructions). Each day I jump out of bed of a morning, turn the machine on, go to the bathroom to shave etc, then make my coffee and it is a decent temperature. The machine really is the bees neez!
Best coffee – We have loved the convenience of using our coffee machine instead of buying coffee out. The milk is frothed perfectly and there are so many types of pods that are compatible. We have purchased the Nespresso rescaled and have not had any issues with our machine so far. Great product. Show details
Saved a fortune on takeaway coffees – Easy and straightforward to use with simple touch buttons. Strong milk canister, easy to attach and remove, and love the dust cover doors. Coffee tastes amazing, much better than the store ones that were being bought every morning. You can also use just the hot water function for tea/soup etc. Easy to clean after every use with one push of a… Read more
button after your coffee is made, also reminds you when it needs descaling. Compact little drawer allows for multiple uses before needing to empty the used pods. Compact and stylish and doesnt take much bench space. Moderately noisy but doesnt wake the entire household here. Ordered silver but was advised by store only display model available but was able to change for a black model.
