DeLonghi Nespresso Lattissima EN660 Espresso Maker Review
Style
Nespresso’s designs are as much a part of their success as their patented coffee system. Always thinking forward with fun, eye-catching designs, the Lattissima fits perfectly with the rest of their line. The Lattissima comes in a bold, bright red, black, and metal that will not only provide you with great tasting espressos, cappuccinos and lattes, but it will also serve as an accent piece in your kitchen.
Highlighting the body color are black features such as the cup ledge, sides and top of the machine, buttons and spout. Chrome highlights various pieces of the machine as well, causing an aesthetically pleasing array of bold features.
Six illuminated buttons sit on the right-front of the machine: two coffee buttons, two milk buttons, a power button and a clean button. It’s fairly straightforward; no physics degree required to work this machine.
Coffee Capsule System
Coffee capsules aren’t that unheard of these days, and Nespresso has been a leader in the market. Nespresso coffee capsules are perfect for espresso with the perfect fine grind and expressed flavor in each pod.
The flavors seem nearly endless as well, so you’ll be able to experiment with your favorite tastes — or have a few on hand for guests. The pods are designed to keep the coffee inside fresh, which in turn takes the hassle out of making sure you will be able to keep your beans fresh.
The pods are perforated by the water and the unique system in Nespresso machines ensures that the water flows through all of the grinds, not just part of them, for the most aroma and flavor possible.
Using the pods is simple as well. Simply load the capsule in and the machine will eject it into a used-coffee-capsule container to help eliminate mess.
Technology Within
Nespresso has garnered even more positive reviews because they supply their machines with a 19-bar pressure pump — even in their inexpensive machines. This 19 bars of pressure helps to deliver the most perfect crema and extract the ideal aroma for coffeehouse-quality drinks every time.
The Lattissima also has a double boiler system, which means you don’t have to wait between espresso and cappuccinos — one boiler heats the water for espresso while the other is getting ready for the milk.

DeLonghi Nespresso Lattissima EN660 Espresso Maker Reviews
There are few machines which garner perfect consumer reviews and comments, and the Lattissima certainly has a few negative reviews. Many Nespresso machines garner the same negative comments regarding their milk frothing systems. Users of the DeLonghi Nespresso Lattissima EN660 state that the milk frother doesn’t work as it’s supposed to. Hot coffee is another common complaint with many Nespresso machines, and one user stated the coffee wasn’t as hot as it should have been. Other than that, however, the machine garnered both positive and luke-warm reviews regarding the functionality of the machine.
