What are you buying?<\/h2>\n1. Artsy pod coffee machine<\/h3>\n
If you\u2019ve ever wanted to replicate the latte you get from your local caf\u00e9, complete with the art, the Nespresso Creatista Uno is the best coffee machine.<\/p>\n
The machine doesn\u2019t make the art for you; it just makes it easier to create it.<\/p>\n
In keeping with the creative spirit, the Creatista Uno has a beautiful design with a high-gloss plastic body, pop-out cup support and a metal milk jug.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the kind of coffee machine you\u2019d expect to find at an artisanal coffee shop.<\/p>\n
If you buy appliances for their form as well as function, you\u2019ll love the Creatista Uno.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned, this is a pod coffee machine.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t use ground coffee or coffee beans. Instead, you pop in ready-made pods and then press a button to get your coffee.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll get a welcome set of capsules when you buy the Creatista Uno. You can easily order more on their website or app.<\/p>\n
2. Fully automatic steam wand<\/h3>\n
To make milk coffees, use the steam wand.<\/p>\n
You won\u2019t find a better frothing nozzle in another brand of coffee machine. It works automatically, creating the perfect texture and froth for your cappuccino or latte.<\/p>\n
There are two steaming settings you can configure.<\/p>\n
One is temperature. You can choose from three levels.<\/p>\n
The other is froth level. Again, you can choose from three levels.<\/p>\n
With a combined 6 settings, you can make just about any milk coffee style you want ranging from a less dense flat white to a foamy mocha.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve selected your preferred settings, dip the steam wand into the milk jug. For best results, use the barista-style jug that comes with the coffee machine.<\/p>\n
The wand has a sensor to monitor milk temperature.<\/p>\n
Once the milk is hot enough, it stops automatically. Once you remove and lower it back into place, it will automatically purge with hot water for self-cleaning.<\/p>\n
To create art, free pour the textured milk into the coffee in a pattern.<\/p>\n
Nespresso has a few video tutorials for creating art. Here\u2019s one for simple art:<\/p>\n
