Automatic so you don’t have to watch i
Recently bought this model to replace a previous manual Dolce Gusto and can safely say that It’s money well spent.
The bonus of the automatic machines is that it puts the correct amount of coffee in per pod grades, just turn the dial to the correct grade and press the button and leave it to pour.
No more multitasking keeping an eye on the coffee pouring as you make a sandwich, just let it go safe knowing that it will cut off when it’s reached the level required.
Nice wee machine to have in the kitchen and quieter than my previous model.
Also benefitted from the additional offer of 6 free boxes of pods.
Highly recommend to all coffee lovers

Getting better and better.
This is the best dolce gusto machine I have had – and I’ve had a few over the last 15 years or so! The water can be topped up whilst the machine is in use, the start button can be activated whilst it is still pre-heating, the cut off is automatic. All this allows you to freedom to do other things whilst your coffee is brewing. Of course the flavour is as good as ever, the selection of pods is ever increasing and there is now a free pod recycling service. I won’t be changing coffee machine brand anytime soon.

Recommend this machine. Perfect size. Great tasting, cappuccino and latte, and hot chocolate
Have had a few machines but this little one is Perfect!! Good size doesn’t take up much room. Easy to use, good size cup ofcoffee

Don't expect any free coffee!!
The coffee machine is fine,but after sales service stinks. Dolce Gusto had a promotion running at the time of purchase which was six boxes of coffee pods if you purchased within a time frame it had to be done through Whatsap,I am a 73 year old pensioner! so I asked a neighbour to help me to get my free coffee,but they kept putting obstacles in the way,so if you’re a pensioner you’ve got no chance unless you’re computer literate.They did contact me but said they couldn’t help.

Coffee heave
I love coffee but i never really knew howe much i loved it until we bought the Dolche gusto machine. i’m not really a gadgety person so our daughter used it first well how difficult could it really be ? Turns out it’s probably the least complicated machine i’ve ever used. To put it simply there is no point looking anywhere else for a coffee machine, it’s very simple to use, makes gorgeous coffee and also looks very smart in any kitchen. What are you waiting for???

Brilliant machine
Purchased as a gift for my mother, she loves it! Last one she had did have bigger water tank but had no auto-off feature, which this one does (pours the right amount and stops automatically). Water tank size really isn’t an issue as you can refill it while it’s making a drink.

The only thing I’d change is increasing the vertical space where the cup goes as large latte cups are a bit of a squeeze.

Also, highly recommend trying the Starbucks and Costa coffee pods!

Tastes as good as the coffee shops
We absolutely love this machine (genio s). Super easy to use & clean and the variety of different drinks is perfect.
The water tank doesn’t empty too quick. Very happy and saves us a fortune as no more expensive coffee shop runs.
Cons the hot choc options is more of a shot than a mug full and need better shaped mugs to fit the tray. I will try getting ones like in the pics.

Does the job, without any problems.
Had this a couple of weeks now and not had any problems. Was worried by some poor reviews talking about a ‘plasticy taste’ or leaks, but this was not my experience. I ran a tank of water through it first,as per the instructions, and every cup has been spot on since.

I got 3 different boxes of capsules to try and some are nicer than others. I’m not a fan of the powdered milk cappuccinos but the rest of the family really liked them (I got one of those electric frother ‘wand’ things and just make my own froth with milk zapped in the microwave for 1 min. Which everyone now prefers)

It’s really very simple and very clean to use. The water is very hard around here so I always use filtered water in it because everything gets scaled up really quickly in this house. The only negative is that you start to feel really guilty about all the plastic pods going into the bin by the end of the first week so I bought one of those reusable capsules (the metal type with a green lid) and fill that with my own ground coffee. Had it a few days now and I can report that it works perfectly, just adds a bit more faffing about to the process than the disposable capsules but it’s worth it for being guilt free and the fact I can use any coffee I like (I’ve just ordered two more of the reusable capsules so that all three of us can use them at the same time.)

When we moved into this a house a couple of years ago it came with an expensive Bosch coffee machine already installed in the fitted kitchen. We couldn’t believe our luck and thought that was ‘the height of luxury’ but it turned out to be a nightmare, constantly needing to be repaired at an extortionate call out charge and the coffee it made was not that good and a bit of a faff to prepare (the steamer nozzle thing never properly worked). Contrast that overpriced junk with this inexpensive Dolce Gusto thingy and the is really no contest.
One of the better things I’ve bought in lockdown. It just works properly, every time.

love my machine
love my machine and so much simpler than my older dulce gusto, have a bit of an issue with getting it to work everytime I think I need to reread the instructions,

my only complaint is the part where the pod goes into, it jams a lot and takes a lot of wiggling to get it ou

Delivers as good as best Coffee shops
I like that you can quickly choose from an extensive range of great coffees at any time of the day or night and don’t have to go to a coffee shop unless you want to socialise. I wish it did the same for teas.

Great machine, great coffee
This is another example of a machine that compliments dolce gusto pods. Easy to fill, auto settings and as an espresso lover I love the espresso boost button for an even stronger shot. It’s like being in Italy or Turkey. Tidy little machine to compliment your kitchen. Flavour beats nespresso hands down and a lot less fading about. JF

Best aromatic coffees ever tasted from a coffee machines
I bought this machine for my wife. I am actually not a big fan of coffee machines. We got 6 free boxes on purchase. I can smell nice aroma when the drink is being prepared so decided to try once. I had Cortado and it was unbelievably good. I tried 4 flavours so far and each one is very distinctive and fantastic. I already stopped drinking home made coffee and ordered more flavours to try. Another good thing is pods are environmentally sustainable. Dolce sends us pod recycling bag and we can send used pods for free of cost. Every penny with and this machine is must have in kitchen.

Great easy machine and very adjustable!
I’m really enjoying this machine. It’s easy to use, the coffee is great and all in all it’s very affordable. I had a Nesspresso Vertuo which makes the most amazing coffee but the running cost was prohibitive to me plus the fact it’s broken 6 months in. This machine feels like it will keep going and going though!!
I like the easy way to control the heat (it does make a nice hot coffee if you want one), mug size and the speed it warms up. I had heard it was noisy but it’s no more noisy than my old machine and I like the red cable it’s just a bit different from all the others, which to me is good.

All in all very pleased, it would be nice to have a bigger water tank when friends come around but hey I can manage fine with it on my 3 mugs a day.

eeded a coffee machine
eeded a coffee machine this one appeared to fulfil my needs. simple answer it did great coffee in the cup enough adjustments to satisfy my needs enjoyed by all who have partaken of my brew.

Great machine!
Bought this as a replacement to my other coffee machine.
More coffee options for this machine which is great.
Easy to use but sometimes you need to use a little more force when placing the lid down.

Good for money
It is easy to use and has good quality. Very convenient and gives me good experience for my daily coffee. The one disadvantage is small capacity of its water tank.

Works Perfectly
I bought this as a gift for a friend. It’s easy to use and makes excellent coffee. The design of the water tank is perfect and easy to fill and install, far better than on earlier models. The design is also stylish.

Fab coffee pod machine
Use it daily. It’s really easy to use, easy to clean. The coffee is great and the machine looks great.
It’s also not as loud as yhe cheaper models.

Compact and easy to use
This is a lot smaller than my previous machine so took some getting used to. The features are great with how hot you want your drink to be and how strong you want it. My only criticism is if you put a normal size latte glass you do not have much room to lift the lid of the machine without having to move the glass out of the way. causing drips sometimes.

Nice cup of coffee
Bought for my husband, he enjoys a cup of nice coffee and this delivers, easy to use and keep clean, nice small footprint so doesn’t take up a lot of room in kitchen worktop.

The best coffee machine you will buy!
This is just the most fabulous machine. We have actually replaced our significantly more expensive Vertuo machine and find this superior. More choice available and just a joy to use. Bravo!!

Makes tiny cups of lukewarm coffee
Comes with a wordless illustrated user guide which is about as much use as the proverbial chocolate teapot. Demonstrations on YouTube are not much better. If you fill the water tank from the tap and use a single capsule, you’ll get one SMALL (teeny) cup of lukewarm coffee. Fill the water tank with HOT (really hot, from the kettle) water and use two capsules, not one, and your day will be transformed.
Rather like a 300 super-duper mixer, it’s a bit of a gimmick. It can be made to work, but it’s a device designed primarily to sell hugely profitable coffee by the teaspoon. Personally, if I drank coffee (I don’t; my wife does), I’d just use Instant and a teaspoon. No machine to clean, no clutter, no faffing around, genuinely instant and nothing to go wrong.

Nice looking, enjoyable coffee, but small portions
So far I have found the dolce gusto pods are best? Although the ones from lidl are nice too.

My only annoyance with this machine so far is that it doesn’t seem to make particularly large coffees. I wouldn’t waste your money on the galaxy hot chocolate pods they are very watery.

The machine itself is tidy and quite simple to use, but I have experienced it drip a little after use? But fine if you just remove the pod quickly afterwards.

Good machine for a quick coffee, not tried a cold brew yet although it does have the option to create a cold coffee. Overall okay machine, but I do still have a milk frother in my cupboard in case!

Coffee machine. De gusto
I found this very hard to use. The user manual is in French and although it is also in picture it is not very clear. It certainly has plenty of details but as usual there is nothing in English and most of the wording is so small it requires a magnifying glass to read. I have phoned the help line twice but they seem rather vague and not really helpful. The coffee is nice once you can get one but I wish I had looked around before buying this one.

So far I love i
Only been using it a week and although Instructions were not clear, I watched a video on how to clean it first. It’s simple to use once you know the procedure and coffee tastes lovely.I bought pods from Amazon but also cheaper ones from supermarket x3 boxes of 16 pods for 10, Americano Intenso being my fave flavour as it’s strong.
Im not sure the “touch” part is essential and the cheaper Genio S Plus would be just as good

Great automatic coffee mache
When my old Krupps machine gave up I got this impeccable coffee machine. The manual is easy to use and I got great coffee after a few tries. It is also easy to clean. One improvement I want to propose is to abandon plastic pods and use environmentally friendly paper bags as one competitor has recently done successfully.

A bit fiddly
Produces great coffee using the pods, better than my previous model. Only drawback is the usability. I have the fully touch sensor model and when opening the clamp to put pods in it is easy to touch the settings bar and have to reset the settings. Instructions are poor and the clamp for inserting the pods is far from user friendly. I would think that anyone with poor dexterity in their thumbs might find it a problem.

So far so very good
Doesn’t take up much room. Instructions not especially clear but you can work it out from the pictures. I have had two other coffee machines and always used boiled water as I like my coffee piping hot. This machine really heats the water well so no need to use the kettle. This is the first automatic machine I gf ave had and already I would not go back. Looking forward to trying all the different coffees as it was too much faff to use flavours that needed two pods before. The machine leaked badly initially but I followed advice from previous reviews and removed the little spring from under the water container. Early days but so far I am very pleased with this purchase.
