Second Chance Sage Nespresso Creatista Uno SNE500BKS

After having had a Miele coffee machine with a fixed water connection for 12 years, it finally broke down. But again 3,500 euros to spend for a replacement, well that's a thing. Before we made a decision about replacement, we temporarily put a Nespresso machine with cups into use.
The coffee turned out to taste much better than from the fully automatic coffee machine.

Ordered a Sage Nespresso Creatista Uno from an online store with twice an M in the name. 'Ordered today, delivered tomorrow'. Unfortunately, after three days of waiting and language still sign of that webshop, the Sage canceled and ordered from Coolblue. Ordered on Saturday and Sunday it would be delivered. Didn't have to be for us but still nice. Coolblue made this happen, but PostNL was too busy on Sunday to visit us. The Sage was neatly delivered on Monday.

The Sage Nespresso Creatista Uno turns out to be a wonderful machine. After 3 seconds it is warmed up. The taste of the coffee is simply superb. Perfect with Nespresso capsules, of course, but the coffee is also fine with capsules from other brands.

The Sage makes superior cappuccino with the steam milk frother.
The fast and dead simple operation is a relief after the long wait for the fully automatic machine to heat up.

Are there any drawbacks? You have to think about it for a while, but the tray with empty cups is quite small.
No other drawbacks or problems.
Finally, the Sage looks very nice and solid. The new machine is located in the recess of the worn-out fully automatic machine. The water jug is filled with a simple tap and hose. That's what we have with a fully automatic machine.

If you want delicious coffee, regardless of whether it is espresso or regular coffee, the Sage Nespresso Creatista Uno is recommended without reservation.
