Dolce Gusto Piccolo - Exclusive Review

[@FightingForceSoulless]

Well, I got it, and I'm happy with it, except for one thing. The V-I-B-R-A-T-I-O-N is so strong, that I have to hold the cup in place, otherwise it will be shaken off. Other than that, yeah, simple, small, quick brewing, The machine and 48 pods for 49 €, I think that's a bargain, and everyone at home loves it.

[@kevincorbett9007]

This has to be the most underrated single serve coffee machine on the mark. I don't know if any other coffee machines that brew at 15 bar (220 psi)!

[@Virgcanair]

Have had tassimo for the past while and my brother had the piccolo.Didnt take long to convert me. I love that you get to choose your pour quantity, the quality in all are fantastic. I kept my tassimo for espreso only in my bedroom and now have picollo in my office. I wouldnt buy tassimo again.

Thors Hammer thank you!

[@marisarouillon371]

Hello sir how are you? How can you make the coffee weak because someone said to me the coffee is to strong so how can you do it a bit weak?

[@Trukes95]

Quit being a wimp

[@creativegoth]

Do you have to store the milk carton in the fridge?..

[@creativegoth]

Very tasty coffee.

[@eugenet1336]

What would you recommend Piccolo or Lavazza Mini LB300?

[@mywebnet]

Very good machine, very portable. Quality of beverages are very good for this class of machines. It is easy to use, versatile, fast to operate and it has very small footprint. Now I always bring my coffee machine with me! As for plastic one time use pods, you can buy unofficial reusable metal or plastic pod. And make your own coffe. Very happy to use, don't know why I hesitate to buy this unit for so many years.

[@HenrikE81]

When you try to get the feeling on how much water you should use, can you stop and taste and start again, or is a pod use up as soon as you stop the machine?

[@Luke.hello.]

yes, you can stop, taste and start again. i don't know if it's still useful info for you, lol.

[@FightingForceSoulless]

Thinking about getting my first coffee machine, I was thinking Tassimo Joy, but I think I like this one more. Because sometimes I want something stronger and sometimes not, but with the same coffee source. So that lever is handy. And where I live, DG pods are cheaper than Tassimo. So I think I'll get this one.

[@carsonhaught9934]

Nice review love this machine but to offset the guilt also have reusable pods that work ok.

[@stevegrace2134]

Go for the Piccolo XS machine as it has a 0.8 litre tank

[@donaDsejdiu793]

I don't have the power on button just the one at the head and it doesn't work.

[@CReview4U]

Great review. I definitely decided to pass on this machine when I saw I had to turn the switch off for it to stop. I have a Circollo and was looking for a smaller machine, but this one won't do. I do prefer the Dolce over a Keurig because the construction is night and day with the Dolce being so much better. Don't they have a smaller machine that stops itself when done brewing the desired cup size.

[@manikrn007]

They do. Its called mini me. Its pretty similar except for the volume selector.

[@Kasino80]

It's really not that big of a hassle. You can't really do anything else in the time it takes to make a cup, plus you can leave it running shorter or longer depending on the intensity desired.

[@lingth]

@@Kasino80 the problem i feel is when you do 5 or 6 cups of coffee, estimating when to turn off the lever or having to watch a timer to turn off the lever is a hassle, and you wont have a uniform standard as some cups may have a bit more water than the other cups. while if you have a water level selector you can maintain it at level 3 or 4.. and you can ensure all 5 or 6 cups remain constant in volume.. i think adding a bit for Genio S, pays off in the long run.

[@shaheen377]

I bought this machine a week ago, best cup of coffee made with this

[@amara8299]

My machine won't stop moving 😢 idk what to do

[@hayriyearas2608]

Mine doesnt make it hot. Dont know why🙄 i have to put cooking water till i get a warm coffee

[@Pareshbpatel]

Thanks, Brian for a comprehensive review of the Piccolo Coffee Machine.

[@user-ur1cf6es4z]

Are there any reusable capsules that can be used with the Piccolo? Maybe a stainless steel one? Thanks.

[@wairerenicholson9359]

Instead of water can you put milk

[@TheJenny7170]

Wai Nicholson no

[@thefocusedladybug]

What is the average cost of the pods?

[@MrXavierRose]

+Juliam Medina In Australia...8 dollars for 16 pods

[@Joske369]

Bought one yesterday, i love it

[@rhondacook9754]

Can you just purchase cappacino pods only - not just variety?

[@oBraveHeart]

are the San Francisco Bay cups compatible with this machine?

[@19390]

mine isn't responding to water now and making a noise now having second thoughts about this machine

[@Lee-he5ov]

Okay I need your help please I'm after coffee maker but I'm stuck between Dolce Gusto Piccolo and Nespresso CitiZ . which one would you recommend out of them two? I'm mainly going to be making Latte, Mocha and maybe Americano the odd time.

[@AromacupCoffee]

From what you describing I think Nespresso will work better for you. But if you want occasional coffee stay with DG. Otherwise Nespresso is more better for you. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.

[@Lee-he5ov]

Aromacup - Single Serve Coffee Thank you for your help :D

[@AromacupCoffee]

Lee .Smith Sure. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com

[@MrXavierRose]

+Lee Smith (Demonknight1988) NesCafe might be a nice brand of coffee, but the machines are shit, and they use instant coffee, not grinds. Go with the Dolce...though your comment is over a year, hopefully I replied in a time you still haven't decided. :P

[@Lee-he5ov]

Xavier Rose Yeah i did get one and use it for a little while, it was okay at first but now i use fresh filtered coffee or instead coffee. But thank you

[@sv2296]

Just found this in my local store.. is even worth to buy it for a 100 euros.. it came out 4 years ago

[@manikrn007]

The best part of the dolce gusto series is that it brews at around 15 bars of pressure, comparable to barista grade espresso machines. Make sure that the model you buy can do 15 bars (most do, but some don't). The pods from nescafe are very expensive and not sustainable. The best way to use these is to get refillable pods (aliexpress/amazon) and buy your own coffee. It will be the best espresso you can make from a machine under 100 euros, I promise. I am using a mini me model. Love it.

[@taomahNEGEV]

This one or the classic Bialetti Moka for a tasty espresso?

[@alwaysnew189]

Satisfied. But. Does it really have to be so noisy , and that engine makes cups shake on platform? 🤨

[@amara8299]

Mine does the same thing

[@prygler]

Are you making a manual or guide on how to use it, or an actual review of how good drinks it makes????

[@kristillejheanecinco3977]

Can I use Nespresso Capsules here in Dolce Gusto?

[@eliaservela7115]

Are the pod leftovers useable? I mean, you can get alot out of one pod, so I really dont want to throw away all the leftovers from one cup

[@spider853]

same question

[@valerieember4760]

I bought one yesterday and love it

[@luvhuangwen77]

Is the one behind u that has an auto stop function?

[@SlashTechUnboxings]

Yes - Dolce Gusto Genio

[@adizzznhareezyzgamez7869]

You could get refillable pods

[@bushyconn]

Are you limited to Dolce Gusto pods? If not what alternatives are there?

[@elladekok5940]

Can you USD tassimo pods

[@elladekok5940]

Can a person USE Tassimo pods instead?

[@khannas13]

Nicely explained. :) Could you please tell me if this coffee machine can dispense plain hot water if I only need some tea? I know Bosch Tassimo has that option, does this one too? Thanks x

[@Kasino80]

Saloni K it can, but According to the booklet, they don't recommend it.

[@cesarrogacion385]

yes it is.

[@manikrn007]

Yes it can. They provide a little funnel to be fitted instead of the pods, for just pouring hot water.

[@beingWantable]

Dolce gusto has now a way of recycling the pods. But you have to give them back at a service point.

[@rymdskrotet]

What a great review! =) Well...are there low lactose milk-capsules, as well as non-sweetened milk capsuled to use? B. Regs, Fred

[@zacang5724]

how much do they sell the coffee mix? :)

[@kylegatillo9081]

Can you please that please show me the different NASDA at the coffee maker ? Literally three different types of coffee maker in the video I want to see the nozzle ?

[@ongjunwei603]

My coffee machine(this model )is Very loud is that ok ?

[@sulo7658]

Ong Junwei Same here so i guess it's ok

[@manikrn007]

Yea, its all ok. It has a high pressure pump inside (15 bars). Hence the noise.

[@kylegatillo9081]

Do you know what you actually miss you have missed the nose though because I was going to buy the Costa Coffee and Cadburys chocolate and my dad said does not does not does not does the room coffee so could you please make me a video of the different coffee makers know there is that alright with you ?

[@pedrojuannavarroisaza4690]

[@michelob81]

Gusto Lungo pods if you love the smell and taste of fresh brewed coffee. Each to their own of course :-)

[@hanamimi5300]

Your voice is so clear l forgot to mention 😀

[@FireFox9702]

That's a pretty hot coffee maker - - - - - - The Piccolo is nice too

[@forac123]

how about how to clean and how long it takes to get ready for 2nd cup

[@ninapeleo9716]

,,lol too much explanation why not tell quickly

[@Kasino80]

Once it's heated it's ready to go again and again. The pod holder goes in the dishwasher and there's decal fluid avaliable to run through the machine.

[@wombat9533]

Another awesome review- thank you!!!

[@martiallaw9509]

Good presentation. Thanks

[@SuperDancerOnlineX]

those machine costs $39.99? shit, at my country malaysia it costs RM699 which is equivalent to $184.. damn...

[@LasdilElizaga]

+Syafiq Jeeyeon Yeah pretty expensive here in Asia(except Japan, capsules and machines are cheap there!)

[@hanamimi5300]

Well explained thank you 🙏

[@squishiesanddiys7609]

I was looking on amazon and i found some brands that are compatible with the dolce gusto

[@kevinratcliffe9595]

Which ones?

[@n00b247]

If only alternative is coffee sticks - than Dolce Gusto is a way to go. Its not pro level coffee machine that you will find in your local coffee shop.

[@JorisVochten]

Well explained!

[@bewise91]

39,99$? woah.. in my place they cost about 120$. unbeliveable

[@marlenespiteri2764]

Even in Malta.

[@Jonathan-br2th]

The machine is also slightly on the noisy side while it’s brewing

[@MrXavierRose]

I used to have one of these, I threw out when moving house...huge mistake.... I miss the Cafe Au Late taste so much :(

[@HAIRYMAN-13]

great review :)

[@E1Jproductions]

my coffee doesnt come out

[@redlightmax]

+Mineylonghead "my coffee doesnt come out" You need to put a coffee pod in first.

[@jamiedellam]

I must be doing something wrong, I bought this machine and the coffee is undrinkable it taste really bitter, it looks like the one that the man brewed in this video but the one the he brewed would taste like crap if you actually drink it

[@stevechristie2569]

Jamie Della which pod? Lungo is bitter

[@TheJenny7170]

Did you add sugar??

[@redlightmax]

+Jamie Della "...I bought this machine and the coffee is undrinkable it taste really bitter..." Let me guess - you didn't prime the system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWKbn4WQrZp4ftE When in doubt, read the fucking manual.

[@mironighebregergis6013]

men thanks for the tutorial

[@lauriemiller2983]

Seems expensive to me for the pods.

[@May04bwu]

Definitely less than you'd pay in a coffee shop for an espresso

[@redlightmax]

5:38 "It is not a set-and-brew machine..." That's why they shouldn't have made this model - if it uses the pods (5:57 which have an indicator to show which level to set the machine), then it should be set-and-brew. The Piccolo is pointless.

[@badr....]

Background music driving me crazy

[@desreenwillis4942]

Good intro I have two of them nice choice from a coffee oerk

[@martymartin2894]

Doesnt aldi and other stores sell pods compatible with these machines now.

[@lalalulu17]

It costs $39.99 Me: thinking of how my Piccolo costs me RM319 😭 currency why do you exists?

[@mrquiff123]

£10 for 48 pods , Amazon uk

[@sbooder]

So, if I have this right, it produces more plastic waste than it does coffee? What a poor idea of a coffee machine.

[@jocy6370]

If i saw this before i got my Piccolo, i wouldn't buy it.

[@thorshammer8979]

Why not?

[@MasterPiece-rg7ed]

@@thorshammer8979 it doesnt have an indicator so you wont grt the amount of water that is ment for the pod.

[@thorshammer8979]

How do you know what Jo Cy saw in the review and why Jo Cy would not buy it if hen know MasterPiece 1419 ???

Krups Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo

[@dndx2011]

ohh good i like

[@daniellikahong]

One of the worst machines to buy from this company, the vibration will let your glass fall off when you are making the coffee and also makes the manual "off" thing very uneasy to use.

[@lindakincaid8758]

My machine has sat for about 6 mths.because my husband didn't like the coffee from the pods...so we used his coffeemaker....so now his has went south...broke...don't work....so i did'nt want to buy another one now so I said we still have the nestco...so I've worked about a hour on it trying to get it going ......and nothing....so i'm saying your machine sucks big time and i'm out of a hundred plus on a useless machine.....and i really didn't like the pods either but i used it anyway....so product sucks the big one

[@TheTwitchybird]

How are you 100 bucks or more exactly? This machine peaked at 50 bucks. Also, are you even using it correctly? Not trying to be offensive or anything.

[@desreenwillis4942]

Coffee perk

[@bartverhaagen]

Something hanging out of your nose........

[@webistrator]

This five-year-old review for a non-programmable Piccolo (now replaced by the programmable Genio with a larger reservoir) is incongruous when shown alongside a box for a later improved programmable (i.e., you can set the brew time by a thumbwheel to choose a light scale shown on the box -- and walk away). Why? Also, the newer Genio has a much larger reservoir that just happens to work with the older Piccolo...but isn't sold separately, sadly. All in all, this review is inconsistent as well as outdated. Also, there are now aftermarket metal pods one can fill and wash...which might be a good choice since Dolce Gusto no longer sells pods anywhere but through Amazon and related resellers here in the U.S., making it the only sources at a high price, at least here in The Colonies. Also sadly, the older programmable Piccolo and Genio were "set and forget" whereby unlike the old Piccolo shown here, one can set the brew level, throw the switch and walk away while it warms and then brews. But that's no longer possible with the newer Genio, where you have to stand and wait for the warm-up cycle before throwing the brew switch -- a step backward for convenience. But the larger reservoir makes up for the inconvenience.

[@maddog3467]

Boohoo

[@Ghryst]

not a single demonstration to be seen :/

[@W_H_K]

Meanwhile, others claim there’s too much plastic waste... There is, but it doesn’t stop the world from its lazy ass hedonistic lifestyle. I’m sampling this machine right now (I didn’t buy it) and it works, however, it’s no better tasting than my own percolator and my percolator doesn’t waste plastic pods like they’re going out of fashion. It also makes 5 cups a time. Overall, it’s just pointless and wasteful. Pointless because percolators exist. Wasteful because of the plastic.

[@abc-jm2zq]

Your nose attracts more attention than the coffee machine

[@shaikhabawazir1641]

It does not I have not seen his nose untill I hvae read your comment

[@E1Jproductions]

pls hellp

[@ИннаЗемцова-ц2х]

This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

[@luvhuangwen77]

Is the one behind u that has an auto stop function?

[@AromacupCoffee]

Yes it's Dolce Gusto Genio. We'll publish review and comparison soon. Stay tuned. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
