Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S Plus Automatic Coffee Machine Black by Krups

After having had a Melody and a Circolo, which I loved, was a bit hesitant to buy one of these new models. The design did not appeal to me and was afraid they were complicated to operate. Nothing of the kind! The machine is great, easy to use and makes great drinks. Love the option to choose how hot one wants the drink, I have always found that with my previous machines the drinks were not hot enough.So glad I went for it!

Looks smart on the side and easy to use

Perfect for bed side tables , small, easy to clean and produces great tasting coffee.Simple to operate. Good value for the quality.

Good coffee machine, very easy to use. Range of pods for coffee reasonable. Only problem I have with the machine is the descaling light is showing, I have used a descaler 2x. Can only presume there is a fault, but it doesn't stop me using the machine.

The answer to that question is - that DG coffee pods taste nicer. Tassimo has a bit of a plastic taste in comparisan. Yes, there are much better coffee machiens which run off beans - which is great if you have the time for that. If you're looking for a great coffee which doesn't take long to make, go for Dolce Gusto...maybe Nespresso.This machine in particular makes some great coffee compared to the old Tassimo machine - I don't find myself using the syrup as much as I did with the Tassimo machine, although that it really more down to the great range of drinks available both from DG and third parties. I can highly reccomend the Chococino - it tastes like chocolate brownies.The only thing DG doesn't have compared to Tassimo is the range - by which I mean 'official range'. There are more thind-party pod options, which are MUCH more affordable. Some people do complain that third party pods mess up their machines - with this machine in particular, some third party pods drip a little, which can be remedied by leaving a spare empty cup under the nozzle. It doesn't have any effect on the machine - unlike some of the more expensive and fussier DG machines.The only critisim I have of this machine is the spill tray. The Bosch Tassimo machine this one replaced had a metal cover, affording an easy clean. This machine has a sort of beveled pattern - whilst it CAN be cleaned, you have to run paper towels into all of the groves, otherwise your room is going to smell like stagnant water. The practical remedy for this I've already outlined - leave a cup under the nozzle at ALL times when not it use. You can use the cup to collect all of the empty pods as well - because if like me you have an office bin without a lid - again, you'll get the smell of stagnant water, as well the actual water accumulating at the bottom of your bin. We use the cup for the empty pods, which we transfer at a more convenient time to our kitchen bin.

This is our second (at least) item of this kind made by Krups. It is quite stylish in design: longer from front to back than our previous model but lower in profile. Thus far (2 or 3 weeks in), it seems to work well. Unlike with the previous model, there is no satisfying "clunk" when each cup is delivered but that's not a problem in actual use. Recommended.

Wanted to get a coffee machine that offered lots of different drinks. This is great as you match the capsule bars with the machine, the water container is small, but you just fill it up when you use it. Has hot and cold options and strength for the coffee/expresso.

This is a replacement machine for one purchased over 20 years ago. I chose the Krupa machine as my old one served so well. It is automatic, so no watching when to switch off and the tank is a reasonable size so that one drink can follow another without refilling Easy operation.

Love free postage and so quick ordered on Thursday delivered on Wednesday and that was from England outstanding service shame about the uk plug but easy fixed very happy
