How to operate Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo Coffee Machine (Manual)

This video is recorded with another blogger Selina Wing. It describes how to make a coffee drink, e.g. Latte Macchiato from Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo Manual Coffee machine. This Piccolo manual is versatile as it allows us to choose the thickness of drinks according to our desire by controlling the amount of water with the lever on top.
I created this video with the KZbin Video Editor ( / editor )

That was helpful. I'm staying somewhere where they have one of those, and I didn't have a clue how to operate it. Until now.

How many seconds must u let run on the hot side once the capsule is in?

[@happilyhere]

Depends on your own choice, on how hot you want it to be. I hope this helps.

[@paeawg7967]

I got mine one today and made a horrible mistake as no manual for it.may i know if 1 bar on the pod cover indicate =10seconds?

Thank you for watching the video. I have reached out to Nescafe Dolce Gusto HQ, Malaysia for their help in your question.

[@Tinkerbelsayer]

thank you. perfect cup of dolce.

[@happilyhere]

Thank you very much for watching this video

[@HomeofZ]

how do u estimate the time vs the water level as there's no indicator?

[@happilyhere]

You're right, there's no indicator, we have to estimate the water by looking at how high or parts of the glass that we are using. And have stop/push the lever manually. So it's a rough estimate and you'll get used to it after using for sometime.

[@teodortan5244]

Do the pods have to be of the correct size? I have pods that do not fit snuggly! I get only a cup of hot water! Is my device faulty?

[@happilyhere]

Ya, the pods have to fit in nicely! I don't think your machine is faculty. Try to get nescafe coffee pods. Don't be mistaken, I am not a representative of nescafe 😅, I am just an enthusiastic youtuber 😃.

[@teodortan5244]

@@happilyhere You're right!

[@Angry_Leeds_Bitch]

Just got one of these, can I put milk in it instead of water?

[@happilyhere]

I am not sure. Can try, but maybe it will spoil the machine because milk is thicker. Thanks for watching.

[@jankoska3014]

Thank you, that was very helpful🎉

[@happilyhere]

Thank you for watching this video, have a nice day!!!

[@HomeofZ]

Can I choose Cold for latte machiatto?

[@happilyhere]

This machine cannot dispense ice, so my guess is you have to add ice cubes to your glass after you have made your drink. Thank you.

[@MariettaMcneil]

Do u get tea pods foro this machine

[@happilyhere]

Thank you for watching this video. This machine uses Nescafe coffee pods / capsules. You can choose the flavours that are available on sale.

[@susanmcdonald4549]

What about ways left in the pods surely that is a waste if your only making one cup????

[@happilyhere]

The residue in the pods can be used as fertilizer for plants.

[@kel6605]

maybe stand by another glass for second serving or the rest goes to waste .

[@skonte]

How do you fill the water?

[@happilyhere]

The water container is at the back of this machine, just take it out and fill it with water and put it back.

[@user-iy5wl5om4q]

Thank

[@reemradwan1457]

How do you know when to stop the water ?

[@happilyhere]

We have to push the lever when the cup is almost full. This is a manual one, no automatic.

[@z.qh0]

Do we need to warm the water

[@happilyhere]

No need to warm the water. Just pour in normal temperature water.

[@mananabang2317]

[@Mummabear543]

Do you need specific cups as mine always over flows?

[@happilyhere]

For this Picolo machine, you can control the water input by pushing the level to the center, but of course a tall glass would better

[@malihagardezi5303]

How do you know when to stop.

[@happilyhere]

Since this is manual, we have to estimate and keep watching until the desired amount and push the lever with our hands to the center to stop it.

[@angelamary9493]

Can you just put milk in the Container ?

[@happilyhere]

Actually it should be only water, as milk may become contaminated and clogged up this machine. Thanks for watching this video, have a nice day!

[@bbarbey]

Why did you used 2 cups for one glass of coffee?

Only one glass is used. The two capsules used are one milk capsule and one coffee capsule. Thank you! Have a nice day!

This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.

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. Other machines automatically stops and this one doesn't.

@@jwana5977 i guess you have a problem with anything that is true. What is unnecessary is people polluting the internet with this kind of stuff. It is not her fault at all. Some languages just have a huge accent in other languages. I don't make videos in Arabic either. Because it would sound awful. Just a matter of a reality check.

[@jwana5977]

Megabash72 You’re the only one who is bothered by the fact that her accent isn’t “perfect”, as long as we understand and find the vid helpful then nothing else matters. Your logic is flawed and you should stop polluting the Internet with it.
