{"product_id":"sage-creatista-plus-stainless-steel","title":"Sage: the Creatista Plus Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Creatista Plus is the machine for people who want café-quality milk drinks without the learning curve or the mess. The fully automatic steam wand with 8 texture levels and 11 milk temperature settings creates silky microfoam consistently, and the digital display guides you through personalised recipes so you're not guessing what buttons to press. The ThermoJet heating system reaches temperature in 3 seconds, which means there is very little waiting between pressing the button and having your coffee ready. Nespresso capsules handle the coffee side of things, so you're removing variables and focusing on what matters: the milk and the ritual. It's the kind of machine that removes the technical barriers and lets you focus on enjoying the coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully automatic steam wand: Creates silky microfoam with 8 texture levels and 11 milk temperature settings, purges itself after use, and eliminates the learning curve of manual steaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermoJet heating system: Reaches optimal temperature in 3 seconds for consistent heat-up every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital colour display: Intuitive interface guides you through several pre-set coffee recipes and allows you to personalise and save your own recipes for one-touch brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNespresso capsule system: Removes variables from coffee preparation, ensuring consistent quality whilst eliminating the need for grinding, measuring, or tamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact stainless steel design: Sleek 17.1cm wide footprint with 19 bar pump pressure and removable water tank (1.5L) and capsule container (12 capsules) for convenient refilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType: Nespresso capsule espresso machine with automatic milk texturing\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 17.1 cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 39.3 cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 30.8 cm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 5.2 kg\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Stainless steel finish\u003cbr\u003eWater tank capacity: 1.5L removable tank\u003cbr\u003eCapsule container capacity: 12 used capsules\u003cbr\u003ePump pressure: 19 bar\u003cbr\u003eHeating system: ThermoJet heating element\u003cbr\u003eHeat-up time: 3 seconds\u003cbr\u003ePower: 1500 W\u003cbr\u003eVoltage: 220-240 V\u003cbr\u003eCup size options: 3 programmable sizes: 25ml (ristretto), 40ml (espresso), 110ml (lungo)\u003cbr\u003eMilk texture levels: 8 levels\u003cbr\u003eMilk temperature settings: 11 settings\u003cbr\u003eMilk functions: Automatic steam wand with auto-purge, 8 texture levels, 11 temperature settings\u003cbr\u003eCoffee recipes: Ristretto, espresso, lungo, caffe latte, cappuccino, latte macchiato\u003cbr\u003ePersonalisation: Digital colour display with customisable recipe programming\u003cbr\u003eUser interface: Digital colour display screen with intuitive guidance\u003cbr\u003eDrip tray: Removable with full indicator\u003cbr\u003ePower-save mode: Auto-off after 9 minutes\u003cbr\u003eIncluded accessories: Stainless steel milk jug, tasting box of Nespresso capsules\u003cbr\u003eWarranty: 2-year repair or replacement warranty (covered by Nespresso)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCARE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaily auto-purge and wipe: The automatic steam wand purges itself after each use, clearing residual milk.

Rinse the tank every few days to prevent stagnation. Clean the tank thoroughly every month with warm water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescaling and programmable water hardness: Programme your local water hardness into the machine so it adjusts its descaling cycle accordingly. Descale every 3-6 months depending on your water hardness using Nespresso-approved descaling solution. Follow the machine's on-screen prompts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow is this different from a manual espresso machine?\u003cbr\u003eThis uses Nespresso capsules rather than ground coffee, so you're not grinding, measuring, or tamping. The automatic steam wand froths milk for you instead of requiring manual technique. If you want convenience and consistency, this wins. If you want full control over every variable, a manual machine is better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use regular coffee or just Nespresso capsules?\u003cbr\u003eJust Nespresso capsules. The machine is designed specifically for capsule compatibility, which is how it achieves consistency and speed. If you want to use your own ground coffee, you'd need a different machine type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow often do I need to clean the steam wand?\u003cbr\u003eThe steam wand has an auto-purge function that clears milk automatically after each use, which is genuinely convenient. You should still wipe the nozzle with a damp cloth immediately after steaming. Deep cleaning weekly with hot water and cleaning solution keeps it working smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if I only drink black coffee?\u003cbr\u003eThe machine makes ristretto, espresso, and lungo with excellent consistency, and you can programme three cup sizes. The milk functions are optional, not mandatory. You're paying for the steam wand even if you don't use it, but the core espresso quality is genuinely good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31850707124282,"sku":"140211","price":499.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/1875\/7690\/products\/sage-creatista-plus-stainless-steel-coffee-machine-737.jpg?v=1780047139","url":"https:\/\/aolcookshop.co.uk\/products\/sage-creatista-plus-stainless-steel","provider":"Art of Living Cookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
