What owners single out
In their words
“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”

“Never had a coffee machine before. When this was at the special price I ordered it. Really pleased neat little machine in the red. Use it twice a day. Get what other reviewer said about room for a mug. The very tall ones dont fit but chunky ones do. Thats the only critism I have. Makes great coffee. Easy to use. All good.”
