First time poster, been looking for a Creatista Plus and noticed the price drop on Amazon so long as you don't mind the blue!
Next closest price is $599 at Harvey Norman and $700-$750 everywhere else
CamelCamelCamel.
Just reminded me, I need to put my Magnifica's in the classifide section.
What would people consider a fair price for a used model (all working perfect, looks the same as a new one)?
so this is a nespresso machine?
Looks like it, seems you steam the milk so you get a latte-like drink out of it.
I don't get why you wouldn't just buy an automatic espresso machine and use coffee beans (eg delonghi magnifica s). That set up would easily be far better and cheaper in the long run.
Because some of us don't have the bench space. I have this and couldn't be happier, yes it doesn't compare to a proper barista machine, but when it's 7am and I'm running out the door, it does the job (just espresso shots for me, no milk frothing)
Seems like a waste of money then, you could've bought a much simpler and less expensive machine.
@TEER3X: Well it does look cooler than a lot of pod machines, and having a cool looking machine can make you happy.
So you don't even use the best feature of this machine? Yikes.
@Ryanek: I do when I have time and my partner who WFH does. If I wasn't going to use every feature, then yes, I would have bought a cheaper machine.
@he11bent: Buy a proper machine and get them to make you decent coffees in the morning. It's a win-win.
Looks like it. Pod machine with steam wand?
yeah like a fancy nespresso machine… quite expensive for what it is…
steam wand?
It is very good, fully automatic.
I think scam. Says product type BAKING PAPER
Sold and shipped by AmazonAU, so doubt it.
It's a scam alright, just not in the way you think.
I think Amazon uses some kind of random algorithm to come up with product types in the description.
I think it's just been entered incorrectly, sold and shipped by Amazon AU so i doubt it too.
$539 for a nespresso machine is stark raving bonkers, especially when the beko CEG5311X costs $499 and is a fully automatic bean-to-cup machine.
Is it good? The reviews are mixed. Also this Creatista has automatic wand, meaning you don't need to lift the milk jug, the wand moves by itself while frothing.
the wand moves by itself while frothing.
It didn't move, very close to what cafe can do.
I would argue there is slightly more versatility with the Nespresso machine as you can change pods easily if you want a different style of coffee. Emptying a bean hopper is not convenient.
Having seen a few reviews, the Creatista Plus does look like a solid coffee pod machine that performs well. But I completely agree, that price is far too high but the Beko machine looks just as bad if not worse when it comes to value for money honestly. I would pick neither of them at that price range.
If the Creatista was in the $300-$400 range, I think it would be a great buy.

Same
There is the basic Creatista Uno but looks plasticky if you don't mind the appearance, and it's been $300-ish before

Hope they will have this on that price again.
Coffee from this is the same as those cheaper machine just the milk steamer not the same.
what's the difference between uno and pro other than the LCD screen?
this looks rather amateurish….id rather pay 10x the price for a greater sense of smugness
Coffee machines so hot right now
