![]() ![]() Delivering my shot of espresso at 67.9✬, my drink was towards the hotter end of what I’d expect – although it’s hot enough to extract the maximum flavour from the capsules, but cool enough that you can drink it quickly. It’s the quality of the brew that counts and a Nespresso machine is capable of producing a quality shot of espresso, one that can rival what you you’d get with actual coffee beans and a manual machine. The main benefit of Nespresso machines is the wide range of pods available, both in traditional espresso volumes and the Lungo longer-drink variety. ![]() Given that Nespresso machines don’t use a huge amount of water, this tank will last for multiple drinks. There’s a 1-litre water tank at the back, which simply lifts out for easy filling. Just pop the capsule into the holder at the top, stick your chosen cup or glass beneath and hit the correct recipe button. Using your own glasses and cups may require some experimentation to get right at first it didn’t take me too long to work out how best to use my own cups with milk.Īs with a regular Nespresso machine, using the Atelier is easy. You just need to ensure that they’re the right size: the opening has to be 7cm wide, you need to be able to fit in a minimum of 80ml of milk, and this amount shouldn’t exceed the halfway point of your mug. ![]() As such, the process is simple enough if you have the right glasses. You get a Nespresso View glass in the box (it’s £19 per pair if you want to buy more), and a handy recipe card that shows you where on the cup you should fill milk for each recipe. ![]() Your main issue is trying to get the right amount of milk to make coffee. The result should be milk that’s similar to that produced in the Aerolatte or Barista, only it’s easier to clean up at the end, since most of ‘mess’ is in the cup from which you’ll drink. When the Atelier needs hot milk, it injects steam into the milk and then whisks it. The advantage of using a whisk is that it can be used to froth cold milk, just as the regular Nespresso Aeroccino and the Aerolatte whisk. You can slide the spout up and down, with the whisk positioned inside your mug so that it can froth milk in-situ, rather than in a separate container. You attach the whisk to the slot in the spout when you want to use it. This is possible because of the milk frother, which combines hot steam with the magnetically attached whisk, which can be hidden out of the way in the storage compartment behind the water tank. It can even make cold drinks: cold foam and iced frappe. Hot drinks: hot foam, latte macchiato, cappuccino and mocha. Overall, this machine can make regular Nespresso coffee: lungo, espresso and ristretto. Look on top and instead of a couple of buttons for dealing with espresso, there are nine recipe buttons. Design and featuresĭeep but not particularly wide, the Nespresso Atelier looks much like the company’s other pod machines, but there are a couple of telltale signs that this is different. Capable of making hot and cold beverages, it can create some great recipes – but it’s best used with the bundled View glass to achieve the right mix of milk and coffee. This original Nespresso pod coffee machine steams and whisks milk directly in the mug, adding coffee thereafter. If you’re a fan of the way the Nespresso Aeroccino froths milk, but you’d rather the job could be done automatically and clean up was easier, then the Nespresso Atelier could well be for you. ![]()
