Nespresso Gran Lattissima EN640W vs Nespresso CitiZ Espresso by De'Longhi

Buy the Gran Lattissima if milk drinks are the point: it froths fresh milk into the cup at the touch of a button and covers nine recipes. Buy the CitiZ if you drink espresso and lungo black and want a simpler, smaller machine with a long track record. The Gran Lattissima adds the milk system and a glass touch panel but is a larger plastic machine with a milk circuit to clean; the CitiZ has no frother at all. Owners rate the CitiZ higher over far more reviews, which speaks to how little there is to go wrong.

• Choose the Gran Lattissima if you want cappuccino, latte macchiato or flat white from one button without a separate frother.
• Choose the CitiZ if you mostly drink espresso and lungo and want a compact machine with fewer parts to clean.
