I had a Lattissima - we sold it and got a machine / grinder. It was good when we used it but the proper machines / grinders do make a better coffee. You should go to the nespresso store and try the coffee and see if you are happy with the quality. I'm not that fussy but DH is more fussier so we ended up with the grinder etc. But I can't make a proper coffee as I haven't learnt so always had to wait around for DH to make them. My few attemps were quite terrible. If you do learn though, the machines work out better witht eh grinder.

I don't know how the Lattissima Plus is but the one I had didn't heat up the milk enough for our tastes so I used to heat it up in the microwave first which is a bit annoying.

I wanted to buy it tomorrow lol but everyone's telling me to taste the coffee first so it will have to wait until after Ramadan! Which coffee machine do you have? My mum has some kind of gaggia with a grinder n loves it. I just can't be bothered steaming the milk how annoying

If you are fussy I would go try it first. I wasn't so I was quite happy with the quality and ease of doing it. The main plus to the lattissima is that you get a consistent taste unliek with a machine/grinder where it depends on the person doing it. My husband, sister in law and her husband all make good coffees on the machines at home. Personally I would go do an hour course and learn how to do it properly. The place where we buy nice coffee beans from - di bella in north melbourne - I saw something behind their counter that you can do a course with them for $50 or so for an hour and tehy show you how to make coffee on your own machine. I was planning to do that lol but baby got in the way.

The best starting up setup is the Sunbeam EM6910 and the EM480 grinder. www.coffeesnobs.com.au is a great place for info. There is also another brand whose name escapes me that was a little bit more expensive but if you had the $ that would be a good option too.
