What we like about CREATE Thera Matt Pro

  • Attractive retro-style aesthetic with pleasant-to-the-touch external finishes.
  • Convenient one-touch preparation for espresso, cappuccino, and lattes.
  • Integrated milk reservoir with an adjustable frothing system that handles dairy and plant-based milks.
  • Fast heating capability paired with a 20-bar high-pressure system for stable flow.
  • Highly practical built-in temperature indicator and adjustable drip tray for multiple cup sizes.

What we don't like about CREATE Thera Matt Pro

  • Light-colored body finishes stain easily due to the natural acidity of coffee spills.
  • Some units exhibit severe vibrations during brewing, which can shift cups off the drip tray.
  • Produces loud operational noise during high-pressure extraction.
  • Unreliable long-term material durability under frequent use.
  • Underwhelming component build quality compared to higher-end entry-level alternatives.

Verdict

The CREATE Thera Matt Pro is a retro-style semi-automatic espresso machine featuring a powerful 20-bar stable flow high-pressure pump, a 1250W instant-heating stainless steel boiler, and NTC temperature control. It comes equipped with a removable 1.5-liter water reservoir, a dual-outlet portafilter for ground coffee (1 or 2 cups), and a built-in 0.5-liter milk tank with an adjustable automatic frothing level for lattes and cappuccinos. Main pros include its easy one-touch operation for preset cup sizes, adjustable height drip tray, and fast heat-up time. However, notable cons include its limitation to ground coffee only rather than ESE pods, a lack of an integrated bean grinder, and compatibility risks if sugar-roasted coffee blends are used, which can clog its micro-perforated filters.
