NESCAFE Dolce Gusto by Krups KP210040 Coffee Machine
The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto by Krups KP210040 coffee machine is a versatile little coffee maker that represents good value for money and gives you a decent espresso in double-quick time.
The Nescafé Dolce Gusto is a pod-based capsule system coffee machine that doesn’t have the option of using ground coffee. There are 18 varieties of coffee on offer from espresso to macchiato.
To get great coffee all you need to do is lift the lever, insert the pod, choose hot or cold water and you’re there. This coffee machine is super-easy to use and is supplied with a pack of 12 pods from the Nescafé Dolce Gusto range. The pods are available at all the major supermarkets so there is no danger of running out of coffee.
The Nescafé Dolce Gusto makes quick fresh coffee – it delivers a latte or an Americano in record time. This coffee maker has a strong water pump and a good-sized reservoir so you won’t be filling it up after every brew.
As well as being quick to use it is also quick to clean so you won’t be spending all day cleaning used coffee grounds from your worktop.
The Nescafé Dolce Gusto is a good looking machine, sleek with interesting looks that will add a touch of class to your kitchen.
Krups has a good reputation from reliability and build. You won’t get the quality of coffee you would from a £2000 machine but when you’re coming out with change from £100 and getting perfectly drinkable coffee you can’t complain.
As well as being available in black
