The Dolce Gusto is my first own coffee machine and I am very satisfied with it! The device looks nice and doesn't take up too much space in my small kitchen. Because the parts are easy to take apart, it is also easy to clean. The device is also easy to use, so you don't have to be a barista to make delicious coffee and even iced coffee. You have a lot of variety in coffee flavors and the coffee tastes delicious. You can decide for yourself how strong you want the coffee to be (on the boxes of the cups it is recommended which strength to use). The accompanying glass cups are also very beautiful! A downside is that the cups continue to leak after brewing the coffee, but that is easily solved by immediately throwing it in the trash (with a newspaper in the bottom of your trash can, otherwise your garbage bag will leak). The red cable is also very striking in my neutral colored kitchen, which I personally do not like. In addition, the device uses cups to make coffee, including for milk. I don't notice that in terms of taste, but it does deliver less frothed milk than coffee made with fresh milk. However, you then need a device that is larger or with more parts. I think the Dolce Gusto is perfect for me, easy to use, great coffee and a complete machine. I can't make coffee - now I can. And also for my guests, who now compliment me on my barista skills ;)
