I have as "insiders" get the opportunity to try out the machine and test. So far we had a Nespresso machine at home. I think of myself I never would have switched to a Nescafe Dolce Gusto, but if you get the opportunity to test the machine, then you have yet to join!
By design, I have to say the Mini Me looks a bit like a duck. Likable, it is small and handy. She really has in the smallest corner place and I think it looks really nice. The water tank can I find a bit too small for a family. One just needs to constantly add water, but on the other hand, the water is then always nice and fresh. The machine is turned on by pressing a button and heats also incredibly quickly. Then you can choose whether you want to enjoy hot or cold drinks.
What I find very interesting in Dolce Gusto is the very wide variety of species that exist on the machine of Nesquik, Choco Chino, tea, latte, coffee, espresso and so on ... But what I have something to complain about, I find the capsules already quite large and over time, there are also quite a waste. Where Nespresso be recycled aluminum capsules come the Nescafe Dolce Gusto just in the household waste.
The various many species are likely especially at the beginning of interesting, over time then you have his favorites and then remains more or less there. What's a minus in the machine that if you let out a drink still a lot of liquid left in the capsules. This fluid then drips out slowly and dripped the machine, unless you what is underneath.
For me personally I find the milk capsules not the highlight. If you are cutting up a milk capsule after use because still remains from milk powder in it. I personally prefer still correct milk. But in between and so delicious. The price of the capsules are also in the frame.
My conclusion: The machine is suitable for smaller households, singles, etc. If you like variety has Macchiato from different varieties or those who enjoy a Latte - then the machine for them is exactly right!
