FAQ’s

How does the Dolce Gusto Krups machine work?

The way the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® machine works is by pumping water into its coffee pods at up to maximum of 15 bar pump pressure. The high pressure, and the coffee pod design, deliver an even distribution of pressure to extract the coffee’s full flavor.

Does a Dolce Gusto machine stop automatically?

The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto machine heats water, which is passed at high pressure – a maximum of 15 bars – through a capsule of high-quality roast and ground or soluble products (milk, chocolate, etc…) depending on the capsule variety.

Is Dolce Gusto Krups automatic?

Compact and automatic pod coffee machine (16cm W x 31cm H x 24cm D) compatible with NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® pods. Over 40 coffee creations and other delicious hot and cold beverages are prepared with one easy push of a button. Drink size is adjustable with the Automatic function.

How does Dolce Gusto know how much water?

The bars on the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® pods reference how much water and/or milk is required to get it to the right strength. On our automatic coffee machines, it’s simply a case of setting the bars on the machine to match those on the pod.

How often should you clean Dolce Gusto?

We recommend flushing through with water after every use and descaling your machine every 3 – 4 months to get rid of the limescale build-up to keep your machine performing at its best.

Can I use tap water in Dolce Gusto?

Tap Water. Water from the tap is a fine option to get water for your machine.

Do I need to add milk to Dolce Gusto?

Are KRUPS coffee machines any good?

The Verdict. Krups espresso machines aren’t the highest quality on the market, but they offer excellent value for money in the case of the six mentioned here. Our top pick is the Krups Evidence One, which includes an integrated grinder, a 15-bar pump, and 15 pre-programmed specialty drinks.

How much coffee do you put in Krups?

We recommend using one measure of coffee (7 grams) per mug. The ground coffee is too fine (‘Espresso’ type ground coffee). If you use a permanent filter, do not use a paper filter as well.

Why are my Dolce Gusto pods full of water after use?

The dripping lasts longer for coffee capsules than for milk capsules. To stop dripping, remove and discard the used capsule after the light stops blinking.

How many seconds does Dolce Gusto take?
