espresso coffee machines are almost embarrassingly easy ways to get a great cup of coffee at home . But they have been guilty of forgetting the milk . Until now . The Nespresso Creatista and Creatista Plus from Sage by Heston Blumenthal are , amazingly , even quicker and easier to use than their Nespresso peers . This time however , they also feature a fully automatic steam wand . With the power to texture your milk at whatever temperature you like , you can make proper milkbased coffees . Then why not let your inner barista run free and create some latte art ?
The Nespressos have always been the quickest , easiest way to create a quality cup of coffee , and the Creatista takes this to the next level . If the 30 seconds or so you usually have to wait for your Nespresso maker to warm up is just too long , the new Creatista is ready in 10 . The Creatista Plus is even quicker , with just a three-second wait until you can demand a coffee . Depending on how early in the morning it is , this could be important .
The Creatista is designed for ease of use for even the most bleary eyed caffeine addict . Its intuitive display guides you so you can personalise your favourite coffee style from a selection of eight and make it how you want . The 19 bar pressure pump will extract maximum flavour from your coffee capsule . From a flat white to a cappuccino , the automatic steam wand will deliver milk that ’ s perfectly textured and at the right temperature , from 11 settings , for your coffee . It will then self-clean after each use with a steam purge . Your micro-foam-filled milk , vital for barista quality coffee , will be in the stainless steel jug provided , ready
to be added to your drink with an artistic flourish .
Coffee makers get used a lot – anyone would think the stuff was addictive – so the fact that Creatista has the sort of premium quality we ’ ve come to expect from Sage by Heston Blumenthal is important . Their appliances are packed with an attention to detail that appeals to those who take their food and drink seriously . The Creatista and Creatista Plus are among their best work yet . The top of the range model is particularly impressive with a brushed stainless steel and chrome finish that you will want to show off . Expect your local coffee shop barista to start looking a little uneasy

TEAM TIP Regular descaling of your coffee machine reduces scale build-up , prevents damage and maintains coffee taste . Frequency depends on the water hardness in your area . The Creatista will inform you when descaling is required . David , Shop Manager
