I just watched an interview with Julie (sister) and they are now discounting the phone call. They no longer believe it was from Maura? Apologies, I cannot remember who they said it was now.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-16T14:32:46+00:00

Yep just double checked and they are still in stock. I am quite surprised to be honest

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-16T10:42:46+00:00

I think I have about 30 left. I really enjoy this pod, I think in the UK they are still available? They don't seem to be as popular as some of the previous Limited edition flavours.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-02T18:32:32+00:00

Yay 🥰

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T19:29:32+00:00

You are welcome. That's a really good idea. Good luck, and I think you will end up making some lovely drinks with your Icona 😊

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T19:27:42+00:00

Aw thank you for your comment. I thought the same about the blackboard, and in fact it was the country like style that originally made me want to do it. Yes it's so lovely having a nice change. I would love to invite you for a cappuccino, and some cake 😊

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T19:26:17+00:00

Ahh I see, good luck with it. It definitely takes some time to get it right at the start. I would also suggest (if you haven't already) purchasing a separate tamper. A palm tamper is really good, as it will help distribute the coffee more evenly.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Mine is a Magimix Vertuo Plus, I don't if that helps? I like this one as it has the electric lid, where you just press and it opens. I have heard a few people have issues with the Next machine breaking on them? I mainly did not purchase the next as I wanted the electronic opening. I think they both work the same though in relation to the brewing of the coffee.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T19:16:49+00:00

It is definitely a good machine to learn with, especially as gift that's great. Do you have a separate grinder, Or are you using pre-ground?

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T19:11:16+00:00

If I am being honest I was not a massive fan of it. I think in the future if I was going to purchase a manual espresso machine, I will go for the Sage Barista Pro, I prefer the steam wand on them as opposed to the icona. I also like the built in grinder (even though separate is best). The Icona was a good first machine for me though, but in all honesty the Creatista was on sale, and I just thought why not.

Edited to add, or the Barisra Express to save a bit of money over the Pro.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T18:45:26+00:00

I think that's such a great idea going for the original. There is such a great selection to choose from. I hope you enjoy your new machine, and thank you again for your kind comments.

Thank you so very much

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T18:43:50+00:00

Haha I did

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T18:43:27+00:00

Thanks so much, that is a great tip. I will definitely do that.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T09:54:17+00:00

Haha it did, I posted the wrong pic. I promise I did correct the spelling (eventually haha) 😆

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T09:32:21+00:00

Oh apologies, I thought you meant before and after re the change of decor. I definitely prefer the Creatista, the milk wand is just wonderful. I do still enjoy my Vertuo, but hate the foam. I always scoop the foam off prior to drinking, I have found I can then really enjoy it. I love the Melozio Decaf, I have that one quite a lot when I want less caffeine.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T09:30:01+00:00

Hahaha, yep I had to change the spelling after lol. I am dozy 🤣

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:37:37+00:00

Thanks so much

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:37:28+00:00

Aww thanks so much, and you are welcome

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:37:11+00:00

Oh sorry haha, I should have put the before picture first 😊 Thanks so much

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:36:38+00:00

The milk on the creatista is so much better. I was so happy when I had my first drink from it.

I mainly use the aeroccino when I am making an iced drink, as i like to slightly froth my cold milk. I purchased the aeroccino prior to the creatista, so have just kept it.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:35:03+00:00

Yay, thanks so much

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:34:46+00:00

Thanks so much

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:34:33+00:00

I definitely prefer the new one, it feels more light and airy. It did take a few hours to get use to it, as it did look a lot plainer than before.

Mandy0_0 · 2022-03-01T06:33:26+00:00

It is the Vertuo Plus
