Krups KP200040 Dolce Gusto

Advantages: Quick and easy cup of coffee
Disadvantages: Cost of coffee pods

I wasn't a lover of coffee unless it was made with hot milk and I first tasted the Dolce Gusto offering when visiting my daughter who had recently purchased the machine. I chose Latte Macchiato and thought it was OK. When in cafes I normally order a café latte. A few weeks went by and my daughter pestered me to buy a machine which I flatly refused to do (my hubby drinks only coffee). She arrived at my house with her Dolce Gusto machine so that I ...
...that I would love it, so I reluctantly agreed. My nice rustic-type kitchen now had this modern black and silver coffee machine on one of its work surfaces and, at first, I thought it would look totally out of place but strangely enough it doesn’t. Some people might think it is “futuristic” looking but it actually reminds me of a black and white cat sitting on the bench sipping milk! My daughter duly showed me how to work the machine and left a selection ... Read review

Advantages: Can customize your drinks exactly how you want them.
Disadvantages: Suagr in milk pods, Yuk!

I love coffee and spend a fortune in places like Starbucks and Costa's so thought I'd save a bit by buying this machine and making my own! I ordered it on Amazon as that was the cheapest price around, £79.99. It arrived a few days later. It was very simple to set up, really just unwrap everything, plug the unit in. Take the water holder to the sink (it even has a handle to carry) fill with water and sit on the back of the machine. Switch on and ...
...set up guide. So within 2 mins, you are ready to make your first drink. The unit is not large and I think looks very modern and stylish in any kitchen. It does leak (well hasn't yet). It has an adjustable stand which slips easily into different height notches, so you can use different size cups without splashing drinks everywhere. The pack contains a welcome pack, which is a few of each drink pods to try, plus a latte glass and cappuccino cup, ... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None

I bought this machine on the strength of the many other excellent reviews from customers here on dooyoo who are clearly much more expert than me about coffee machines. I am adding this review to say that if you're like me (i.e. a complete idiot in the kitchen), but want superb coffee, instantly with no hassle or effort, this is the machine for you. If I can work it, anyone can! You cannot knock the looks either. I am very fond of retro gadgets and ...
...well. It's not as ugly or space consuming as some of it's competitors. I have never been tempted to try any instant coffee machines and tend to rather spend a fortune on buying my cappuccinos in cafes everyday before going to work. But that is definitely a thing of the past. This machine is fantastic and so easy to use - even an idiot like me can throw a delicious cappuccino together after 5 minutes of unwrapping the box! What about the price of ... Read review

Advantages: Makes good quality coffee, cheap to use
Disadvantages: None

I've had this coffee maker for over a year now and I have to say I'm very happy with it. It looks good in the kitchen, being black and silver, made from high quality plastic so is easily wiped clean, and has a good variety of flavours widely available, and reasonably priced. I received this machine as a wedding present, but I believe that it now costs around £90. At the time it was coming with a free accessories pack, comprising coffee capsules, ...
...far as I'm aware the product is still available with this accessories pack. Coffee capsules are available in the following flavours: Cappuccino Latte Expresso Lungo Chococin o Mocha Cappuccino Ice - Summer only Lungo Decaffeinato - limited edition Expresso Intenso - limited edition I have tried most of these flavours and have found them to be close to the real deal available in coffee shops. Most of these are available for around £3 for ... Read review
