I bought this after a bit of reading up in which pod system has both decent features as well as a wide range of pods. Settled on the Dolce Gusto and am really pleased so far. Easy to set up, easy to use and much smaller than I anticipated - the photos and box made it look huge! Coffee tastes lovely, although it won’t ever be quite the same as proper brewed. Makes a cup in well under 1 min, perfect SunnyinSheffield · very.co.uk
