Coffee Price:
On the kilo price one must here really do not look :) A pack of 16 capsules costs between 3.89 (the offer) and 4.50 - so when compared with normal instant coffee to get quickly to the 5-fold. Advantage: The capsules are available in almost every supermarket and the selection is based on different types of coffee, on cocoa, cappuccino, and Ice Tea.
Service:
Simple, refill water tank (enough for about 4 pots so ok), insert capsule to set the desired amount of water and starch with the scroll wheel on top of the machine - the capacity is illustrated by an LED scale. Now only the red (hot water for example. Cocoa, coffee, cappuccino, etc.) or the blue (cold water for example. Iced tea) must be pressed and even the cup in the correct amount is charged. The advantage vs. here. the manually operated machines: It can not overflow because the egg after the desired amount of water stops.
Taste:
Before the 1st Dolce Gusto bought about 4 years ago, I had tested by me through the systems, Pad Systems ala Senseo are with me completely failed since any normal instant coffee comes ran because of taste. I wanted to have something that comes in about a coffee machine ran, but clean or empty grounds container without grumblings as brewing unit. Landed I am then until Tassimo, but I also liked the taste of the coffee here is not really (too weak to pot size about 300 ml). Ultimately it was just the Dolce Gusto, a wide selection of coffees and superior taste convinced me Crema be compared roughly with fully automatic machines and coffee also comes almost ran.
Care:
In itself not a problem, from time to time empty and decalcify the drip tray - this can be done with almost any descaling agent, 1-2 runs and finished the thing.
So why not 5 stars?
Reason is mentioned under care drip tray or the base of its filling. The capsules generally drops by to give either sometime has diligently filled drip tray, or when the capsules throw directly into the garbage at some point the soup in the trash because the amount of water which is not just left in the capsules little.
Apart from this shortcoming I'm really super happy with the egg, who want to have it a little less expensive resorts to EDG 420.B - although this does not look so good, has only a manual control for the amount of coffee but the coffee tastes just as good.
