DeLonghi Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolini EDG200B

Our machine works OK, however i have to hold the cup under the filler, because it vibrates too much when filling the cup, and it vibrates off the holder if left on it.

I bought the machine and 5 boxes of pods to use for a road trip.
Was bitterly disappointed in the coffee and barely used it, preferring the instant coffee in motel rooms.
Recently I lent it to my daughter and she totally agreed.
I've written to Dolce Gusto but have received no reply at all. Tempted to throw the lot away and chalk it down to experience.

This little machine is a wonderful invention. We have it on our kitchen bench and because it is so light and versatile, we take it with us in our motorhome when we go travelling. The coffee is great and so easy to make and the total price of the machine is amazing given the quality of the coffee and ease of making it

We loved our machine and had used it for a couple years, it wasn't perfect with only the Nescafe pods available but the need for a new machine wasn't a high priority..... until the new blends arrived.

The new blends of pods from Nescafe are so week, we are having to add some of our "backup" instant coffee just to get some taste out of it. We have now retired our machine and are shopping around for a new brand with a bigger and better selection of pods.

Satisfied with the machine. It doors the job perfectly for a low cost machine. Tough to clean when you make a coffee. Only con is only limited range of pods are available at supermarkets.
Not of hit and miss what you can buy but easily available online. Lots of compatible pods as well.

we have three machines in the family and have had them many years without a problem.firstly there are no other pods that fit the ''Dolce Gusto'' so you are locked in.The biggest negative is that in recent times there has been no supply of our favourite ''espresso intenso'' pods and just this week they reappeared on the shelf marked ''new blend/formula'' same price.Well then we see the number of pods per box is the same BUT the amount of coffee in each pod has been reduced by app 20% from 8g per pod to 6g per pod.This means the old box of 16x8g pods =128g and the ''new formula'' is 16x6g pods =96g..the only thing about taste is how distasteful the actions of this company are.

Horrible coffee, looks and tastes like muddy water. I made one coffee and within 10 mins re boxed it to take it back but I’m guessing that won’t be possible
Oh well it can sit in the pantry
I’m not sure who could actually enjoy it!? Seriously it’s not worth the price even as cheap as it is

Coffee is disgusting ! Machine seems ok though - easy to work - too bad quality of coffee is so bad Water is hot and like that you can control amt of water. Would not buy this machine again . No decaf option in coffee you can purchase either - I see some people have bought refillable pods which I guess is an option.

I bought this machine second hand but second hand and still in box and im glad i only payed 30 bucks for it! i was so excited to try my first at home coffee machine drink but no my happy buzz died down. the machine leaks all the time! and it doesnt create tasty drinks it tasted very watery only positive is its easy to clean from the leaks and small and compact so now in the back of my cupboard maybe il just throw out now

Our "Dolce Gusto" coffee maker is my preferred way to give our friends a flavoursome cuppa. My only criticism is the limited coffee flavours that Nescafe make available, which is why I've taken to occasionally using the refillable pods (available off eBay). This way I can still enjoy my favourite blends (Colombian Blue Mountains and a Byron Bay grown bean) with the ease of selecting from the different pods.
The Piccolini is very simple to use and produces consistent strength cups. Highly recommended as they are affordable for everyday use.

As a barista I am a harsh critic on my coffee but I love the flavours that dolce gusto have to offer it is very easy to use and clean it’s so good I brought three of these machine. And gave them for Christmas presents cause it’s barista made coffee with out the price tag of an espresso machine and the extra work.

I received this coffee machine for a Christmas gift last year. I absolutely love the coffee pods that you can buy for this machine, especially the Latte Macchiato and the skinny cappuccino. They are so much better tasting than instant coffee. The machine is super easy to use and clean. My only one one jibe is the price of the capsules. As we have 3 coffee drinkers in my house it can get a bit pricey. I shouldn't complain though as we all love our coffee and its so much cheaper than buying similar coffee in cafes.
My one tip is not to use hot or boiled water in the water tank.

For economy, easy of use and great tasting coffee, can this little gem of a machine be beaten? My previous machine gave 4 years of faultless performance, and I expect to get another 4 years or more from this one. Water tank is smallish, but still produces 2 big cups.

If you like a really good coffee this machine probably isn't for you, the pods are ok. The machine is ok. I bought one for work and we do use it almost every day, the taste of the coffee isn't amazing but if you need a coffee it definitely does the trick!

What a great little machine! It isn't too bulky to store and it makes a decent cuppa! I love that I can buy hot chocolate pods and I even stumbled onto some tea pods in Harvey Norman. Temperature could be hotter but for the price, it's a great little machine.

We actually bought this as a Christmas present for friends but decided to keep it ourselves and we're glad we did. We use the cappucino and american styles. Sure beats the hell out of paying $4.50 for a luke warm weak brew at th local bistro. You can make it any strength you like with as little or as much froth or milk as you like. Great cuppa!

I got that machine as present from
My auntie
It's good and does the coffe okay
One problem for me is that you need to re feel the water tank after to coffees that you make which it's not convenient
Also the gift set box with selection of coffee capsules was great idea of Dulce Gusto

Thanks and keep drink coffee
