Special Features
There are several unique elements of the Nespresso Lattissima One coffee maker that will delight you as a user.
Automatic Milk System
The Nespresso Lattissima One is easy to use.

Milk Container

Preset Button Choices
There are 3 pre-programmed options that you can select by pressing the appropriate button. These choices let you brew an espresso shot, cappuccino or latte.
The Nespresso Lattissima One coffee machine automatically chooses the right amount of water and milk to use.
High Pressure Pump
To make espressos, the Nespresso Lattissima One brews at 19 bar pressure. This ensures that flavor is extracted from the pod, and your espresso is strong and rich.
Large Water Tank

There’s no mess or hassle with making your drink. Just pop the right coffee pod into the slot and press the button to brew. Afterwards, the machine ejects the used pod into a capsule container.
The machine even adjusts milk temperature, volume and foam quality automatically. You have little to decide or worry about.

Clean Up & Maintenance
After every use, wipe down the machine with a clean, damp cloth using mild cleaning agent if necessary. The components are NOT dishwasher safe. You must wash/rinse them under water.
Empty the capsule container when it is full. You can detach and clean the water tank.
Descaling every 2 or 3 months keeps the machine functioning well for long, and also ensures better tasting coffee. The process lasts 20 minutes and you can set it to run automatically.
You may clean with Nespresso’s descaling solution or a dilute vinegar mixture. After it’s finished, rinse out the entire system with clean water to remove any lingering taste.
