Delonghi Nespresso Lattissima One vs Touch

Both Nespresso Lattissima One and Lattissima Touch are part of the Nespresso original line series manufactured by Delonghi.

Our Choice | Lattissima Touch

Nespresso Lattissima one is a good machine with an elegant design but I prefer Lattissima touch over one Next. Because:

• Have more drink options
• Have a hot milk option (This feature is handy for preparing hot chocolates).
• Have an option for adjusting the milk froth
• The taste of Cappuccino from Lattissima touch is better.

What are the differences between Nespresso Lattissima One and TOuch

Lattissima One and Lattissima Touch are one of the best-selling coffee makers by DeLonghi. Both these models seem to look similar to many users as their design and features are almost identical, but there are also some differences between them.

1) PROGRAMMABLE “ONE-TOUCH” COFFEE DRINKS

Lattissima One Offers Three Selection Of Drinks with the touch of a single button.

1. Espresso
2. Lungo
3. Milk-based drinks such as Espresso Macchiato, Latte Macchiato, and full latte 

The first button is for Espresso, the second is for the lungo and the third button is for milk-based drinks. You can prepare Espresso macchiato, Cappuccino, or full latte by adjusting the amount of milk in the frother.

So, you can prepare five different types of espresso drinks in Lattissima with a single touch.

Lattissima Touch offers six selections of drinks just on a single touch, including

1. Espresso
2. Long
3. Creamy Latte
4. Cappuccino
5. Latte Macchiato
6. Hot milk

Unlike Lattissima one, the Lattissima Touch has six buttons at the top.

You don’t have to worry about the amount of milk in the frother. You just have to push your favorite button and the machine will automatically take the amount of milk it needs from the frother.

Here Lattissima touch is a clear winner, you can easily prepare Espresso, Lungo, and milk-based coffee drinks with a single touch without having to worry about measuring the milk.

2) Taste of the coffee

So, here comes the main point which machines deliver the best-tasting coffee among these machines.

While both machines are capable of delivering the best Espresso and Latte but I like the taste of Lattissima touch more.

There is almost no difference in the taste of black drinks i-e Espresso and Lungo but the Cappuccino prepared by Lattissima Touch is a little bit frothier and better

3) Milk Frother

Lattissima one comes with a built-in fairly unique single-serve milk frother, capable of holding enough milk for single-serve depending upon the type of drink you choose. While using the Lattissima one, you have to pour fresh milk every time you want to drink.

Lattissima One works by filling the container to the level indicated on the side depending upon the type of drink you want to drink, and the machine will detect the level and consume it all in one serving.

Lattissima touch, on the other hand, comes with a built-in milk frother that offers a wide range of milk-based drinks with a single touch.

The milk frother for the Lattissima Touch also allows you to change the milk density, which further offers you more flexibility.

I must say the milk frother of Lattissima touch is better than Lattissima one as it creates more creamy milk foam which lasts longer. Also, the Lattissima touch gives you the option to adjust the amount of froth.

4) Capacity

Lattissima One has a water tank capacity of 33.8oz which is slightly larger than Lattissima Touch But it has a milk capacity of only one serving with a capacity of 125ml (0.125 liters). No matter how much milk you pour, the machine is programmed to use all the milk.

On the other hand, the Milk tank capacity of Lattissima Touch is 350 ml (0.35 liters) which gives you the flexibility to store enough milk in the container for serving more than 1 cup. However, this can also result in the waste of milk if left behind in the reservoir.

Both machines of the Lattissima series have a built-in container for waste pods. Lattissima Touch has the capacity of holding 10 used pods, while the Lattissima One can hold 9 used capsules in the container.

5)Price

While comparing prices, the Nespresso Lattissima one is cheaper than the Lattissima Touch. The Lattissima one costs around 400 dollars while the Lattissima touch costs around 480 dollars.

The Lattissima touch because of some additional features costs quite higher than the Lattissima one.

So, it is completely up to you which model you choose; the best option depends upon which feature you consider to be most vital for you.

6) Design and Convenience

Nespresso brand not only focuses on delivering the best to their customer but also pay special attention to delivering the best in term of design and convenience.

Lattissima one has a dimension of 12.8 x 6.1 x 10.5 inches and a weight of just 9.2 pounds, it has a matte finish with moderate gloss and a solid chrome-plated lever. Along with having a great innovative and minimalist design, it brings modernity to its user.

Lattissima one comes in four different colors: Silky White, Porcelain white, Black, and shadow black.

Lattissima touch has an almost similar look and dimensions (12.6 x 6.9 x 10.2 inches) with a weight of 10 pounds, it has a luxurious aesthetics with dark shades, a combination of silver and black.

Lattissima Touch offers three different colors: washed black, frosted silver, and white.

Both machines can easily fit on the counter of your kitchen or office and look very elegant.

7) Customer Reviews

When it comes to user reviews, the Nespresso Lattissima One has almost 1200 reviews with 4.2 ratings out of 5. Customers are quite satisfied with the design as well as the quality of the coffee and milk it produces.

In terms of drawbacks, many users complain that brewing coffee is not hot enough. Also, many users are not happy with the milk frother of this machine. They say that it would be nice if the milk frother was easier to clean.

Nespresso Lattissima’s touch acquires more positive reviews from customers than Lattissima one. This machine has almost 800 reviews with 4.6 ratings out of 5.

Customers are satisfied by the quality of coffee and milk, the attractive design as well as the compact nature of the machine. Additionally, many customers also state that they found Nespresso Lattissima touch pretty easy to operate and are also satisfied with the versatile range of drinks it offers.

On the drawback side, many customers complain that the brewed coffee is not hot enough as with the Lattissima one.

While many users are concerned with the hotness of drinks I have tested the temperature of both Espresso and Cappuccino from these machines. The temperature of Espresso lies in the range of 155 to 160 while the temperature of Cappuccino was in the range of 140 to 145 degrees. To me, it’s perfectly fine.

Nespresso lattissima touch vs one | Similarities

Both machines of the Lattissima series have a built-in automatic milk frother. It hardly takes one minute to brew delicious milk-based coffee drinks with whipped milk foam at the touch of a button.

Pressure

There is a 19-bar pump pressure in both models, which extracts the full aroma and flavor from the coffee pod, resulting in a rich coffee with a thick layer of crema over it.

Auto Shut-Off Feature

Both machines of the Lattissima series have a built-in auto shut-off feature, which makes them highly energy-efficient.

Lattissima One switches off automatically after 9 minutes of inactivity while Latissima Touch turns off automatically after just 2 minutes of inactivity. The auto shut-off feature makes the machine highly convenient for the customer and prolongs the machine’s life.

Heat-up time

The brewing times of both machines are fast, and it takes 25 seconds for the machine to heat up and brew a desired cup of coffee. The DeLonghi Lattissima series is ideal for those who want their coffee to be quick.

Water tank

Both Nespresso One and Touch have a removable water tank that fits on the backside of the machine.

Dishwasher safe and easy to Clean

All the machine components are completely dishwasher safe and must be cleaned right after brewing a cup of coffee because if you don’t the stains of milk and coffee will develop and become stubborn with time.

Both these machines have cleaning and Descaling indicator, which informs you of the descaling time, which is one of Nespresso’s most impressive innovations.
