Dolce Gusto is Nestle / Nespresso / Nescafe’s answer to the Tassimo system and is a hot beverage system with its own unique coffee machine and capsules that produce hot beverages like espresso, cappuccino, latte and hot chocolate. The machine for the system is the Krups Nescafe Dolce Gusto. The capsules are made by Nescafe with a variety of flavors, including milk based beverages. You can find the capsules at major stores or get them online.

The machine works in a similar way to Nespresso machines using thermoblock. However, unlike the 19 bar pressure used in Nespresso machines, in the Krups machine 15 bar is used. The high pressure and the capsules are designed to deliver an even distribution of water and pressure over the coffee to ensure that flavor is maximized. For comparison, in traditional filter coffee makers (drip machines) water flows through the coffee grounds at just 1 bar of pressure.

Warranty is given by Krups for two years.

Technical Specification

  • High 15 bar pressure
  • Free starter pack including Latte Macchiato glass, Cappuccino cup with saucer and more
  • Ultra fast warm up, coffee in minutes
  • 1.3 L removable water tank for easy cleaning, filling and emptying
