NESCAFE KRUPS DOLCE GUSTO
We have been married now for just over a year; as we already had everything in our flat when we got married the majority of our wedding presents came in the form of money or Argos vouchers, so we decided to treat ourselves to a Dolce Gusto coffee machine.
The cost of the machines at £80 is quite expensive, so I think that you really have to think about this purchase before you make it, it?s not the sort of appliance that you want to purchase as a ?fad?.
Needless to say the coffee machine was my wife?s choice because it was ?cute? !!
I have to admit though that this machine is extremely stylish and does look very modern (it?s rather like a red robotic dog actually!!)
WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY?
Inside the box, as well as the machine itself, you get a Cappuccino cup and saucer and a Latte ...
Advantages: It doesn't turn off automatically, it takes filter papers, and is very simple to use. Disadvantages: The 'smooth side trigger action' isn't very effective.
In December 2006, my coffee filter machine broke, well, it was the operators? error, but I thought it was broke ? so, I bought a new one: the Krups version.
For those who are unaware, a filter coffee machine is, an electrical device that filters water through ground coffee, into a jug underneath. The jug is kept hot on a heated base, for you to drink at your leisure.
Here are the key features:
Capacity: 1.25 litres
Coffee type: Ground
Filter: Paper
Cup warmer: Yes
Removable reservoir: No
Dimensions: H35.8 x W25.5 x D22.9cm
Wattage: 1100W
Krups is a mid-range brand in the coffee machine world. I had decided on this machine before I went out to buy one: due to the advertised features. I found it difficult to locate any Krups machines in Chester; they had top end machines and the rubbish lower end ones, but Krups, Magimix ...

Advantages: Great espressos and regular filter coffee Disadvantages: Espressos sometimes are not hot enough
produce good espressos, that's the challenge! But it succeeds!
The only thing not perfect is their temperature, especially the first ones, they may get only warm, not really hot as I love. This way, I recommend you to pre-heat all the accessories, and you can easily do it on the machine itself. Putting the empty filter and the cups as if you were making a coffee, you'll warm the cups enough to make the first coffees with the right temperature.
Another good thing, it makes 2 espressos at a time!
Of course, if you stick to the basics, you'll get good coffee, but you'll be missing most of the machine capacities.
I highly recommend you to read the manual. This book will help you to explore all the range of things this Krups do.
Is very easy to read, and bring amazing pratical information, that will help you to be the most renowned coffee ...
