Product Information

In addition, I realize that this Dolce Gusto machine review is mainly about its coffee making capabilities, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that this machine makes a fantastic hot chocolate as well! Conclusion It’s fair to say that Nescafé is the most recognised brand of instant coffee on the market, whether in its classic form, Gold Blend or whatever. It therefore comes as no surprise that Nestlé would apply its most famous of brands to its Dolce Gusto capsule-based coffee system. Once beverage preparation is complete and the power button stopped blinking red (about 5s), remove and discard the capsule. Don't keep it in the capsule holder. Can I put milk in water tank? For more details about the LEDs on your machine, please refer to the user manual of the machine. Can I use a machine in countries with different voltages?

If you believe that one part is missing, please call Consumer Services Center and we will help you find a suitable solution. Where can I buy accessories, consumables or spare parts for my appliance? Milk requires less pressure, so the pods for milk-based concoctions are designed accordingly to ensure the appropriate performance from the machine. While Nespresso is Nestlé’s capsule system for coffee connoisseurs, Dolce Gusto is, as the Nescafé branding would suggest, aimed at consumers looking to step up to real coffee from instant or filtered beverages. That positioning is further enhanced by the fact that you can buy Dolce Gusto capsules in the supermarket, while Nespresso capsules can only be obtained online, or from the Nespresso boutiques.

Anything else you should know?

On new models, the needle can actually be removed and the main purpose is to allow consumers to clean the needle specially when it is clogged or the flow starts to decrease. This cleaning must be followed by a full descaling of the machine. There is no flow, what should I do? Tap water (normal household potable water) is perfectly OK as long as it is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled water is also OK. If after this, there is still no flow, machine must be sent to a repair centre. Why does the capsule holder leak on the side?

Follow the instructions in your personal instruction manual for descaling your machine as techniques vary according to the model you own. The needle must be cleaned with the cleaning tool provided with the machine and machine must be descaled. You then just select the correct volume and push the lever to the right. The Mini Me is fairly loud during extraction, but not as loud as the Nespresso Inisia. There’s also a degree of vibration, but not enough to make the cup dance around on the drip tray like the Dualit Xpress 3-in-1. It ensures the safety of consumers that is so important to the brand of Modern Art Café: NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto®. What is the difference between a manual and an automatic machine?

Conclusion

However it is possible to prepare these cold beverages with the Hot function. How to use my machine in full safety?

Over time, limescale slows waterflow, can reduce the effectiveness of heating the water used to make your drinks and can finally clog the needle used to pierce the capsule and to deliver the water. It features a 15 bar pressure pump to provide maximum flavor extraction, producing a full-bodied flavour and a finish that is as smooth as velvet. Frequently asked questions 1. What types of coffee does the Dolce Gusto Mini Me Coffee Machine make? The Dolce Gusto can be a bit noisy during the brewing process, but fortunately it’s so brief that it’s really not that big of a deal.What we can advise is that consumers can make 5-6 coffees in a row, but then they need to wait for a moment (1-2 minutes should be enough) before resuming extracting. Can I change the color of the red wire of NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto® machine? At the end of the preparation of the drink, the on/off button flashes red for about 5 seconds. Do not remove the capsule holder during this time! On some models (Jovia, Oblo, Drop, Stelia, Movenza, Eclipse, Piccolo produced since end 2014) there is a descaling reminder. Controls have been kept to a minimum, but that doesn’t mean that the Mini Me isn’t versatile. The power button is located on top of the round head of the machine – pressing it will initiate the warm up, leaving the button to flash red until it’s ready to extract, at which point the button glows green.There’s a sliding selector that runs along the front fascia of the head, which allows you to dictate the exact amount of water for your drink. One of the cleverest aspects of the whole Dolce Gusto system is that printed on each capsule is the correct volume setting, so you should never make a mistake. There is no limit in the number of coffees a machine can make in a day, but consumers need to be careful not to make too many coffees in a row, because if they are continuously extracting beverages it might lead to an over-heating of specific elements of the machine resulting in error mode triggering.

Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. Leave it at a local civic waste collection point. I've just opened my new appliance and I think there is a part missing. What should I do? The drink we ended up with wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we feared it might be, but it wasn’t great either. While being just about palatable, it was overly creamy, and left a distinct aftertaste in the mouth.What we found interesting was that while regular coffee drinkers really disliked the powdered milk drinks served up by the Mini Me, those that rarely drank coffee, or generally preferred tea, quite liked the cappuccinos and lattes that it produced. The Dolce Gusto is not limited to just espresso or filter coffee. The type of coffee it produces depends on the pod you pop into the machine. The extraction of the Dolce Gusto coffee is made at an optimal temperature, so that it gives a perfect coffee. It cannot be extracted any hotter, as this would cause the coffee grounds to have a burnt taste.

The machine need to be repaired. Why do I sometimes get different foam levels/amount of beverage even though I always press on the same number of bars? Over time, limescale slows the flow of water through your machine and can reduce the effectiveness of the heating element making your beverage less warm. For cold beverages, use water at ambient temperature, never refrigerated water, and place two or more ice cubes (20g per ice cube) in the cup. If your appliance has not been used for several months, the pump may have difficulty restarting the water flow. All you have to do is pop in the pod of your choice, select whatever volume you desire using the machine’s volume selector, and then adjust the lever to hot or cold based on whatever drink you choose.
