Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Purchased the machine to replace my German Bought Krups - Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo. Having lived in Germany, I enjoyed the convenience of the machine and the absolutely great coffee it made. Having moved back the USA, I could not find that machine for sale. I discovered that this machine " the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine, Genio 2, Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Pod Machine" was available here in the USA. -Coffee Maker- A few remarks. This is a "commercial coffee maker". That is made for the "hospitality industry" as it says. It is about the same size as my home machine the "Krups - Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo". It is about twice as expensive, but also, it appears, a bit more heavy duty. It also has more "bells and whistles". One nice feature is the ability to adjust the coffee size. That is 12 oz, 10 oz, 8 Oz and all the way down to Espresso size. Lights and a toggle switch show the size of the coffee. -Automatic- With this machine, you can pop in your coffee capsule and set the machine and walk away. It will stop automatically. This being a commercial model, it has a larger water tank. Which means less trips to the faucet to refill. -Taste- As far as taste, I just got it and have made 3 cups on two days, so far. Too me, it tastes just like the coffee in Germany that I made on the other Dolce Gusto machine. Unlike the K-cup machines, this produces a real "Crema". The coffee is made at 15 Bar of pressure. Like an Espresso machine. It produces a really nice Crema on the coffee and has a real good taste. For the price that I paid, around $100 bucks, I think it is a great deal, especially compared to the K-cup machines. --Suggestion-- Some people apparently complain that they want it the coffee more hot. It seems hot enough to me. I do pre-heat my coffee cups to maintain the warmth and taste. --Closing Remarks-- This Coffee/Espresso maker is made for the USA with 120 Volts. The only inconvenient thing, is you can not run to the store and pick up capsules. But Amazon and other major online vendors sell them. If you shop well, you can get the capsules at a cheap price. The Coffee Machine looks well made, and heavy duty. It is cheaper than the Nespresso machine and most of the Keurig Coffee makers. This combo Coffee maker and Espresso maker looks to be a great deal. I wish Nestle would focus again on home use. Having said that, if you like European Style coffee with ease of making and great taste, this is the machine.
