The machine takes away little space and fits in small kitchens into ideal. You do not need much "care" (cleaning for milk tank or something ... everything does not have to be made due to the handy, individual milk powder capsules for coffee specialties). Within a short time (about 1-2 minutes) you have your favorite coffee ready. There are, incidentally, to buy a lot of range of different coffees and you do not even go to specialty stores to get them. Or they just simply ordered at Amazon ;-) The water tank is big enough, but when someone is visiting and you want to make several cups in a row.
Very small drawback: there is not a lot on the water tank scale. So the first time was a bit of experimentation phase. But you get very quickly get a feel for the amount of water. Or - this is my suggestion - it is best to always used for the same sort of coffee the same cup. Within a short time, you know exactly how much coffee must flow into the cup, so it's perfect :-) Technically the machine from the start worked perfectly, had never had problems with it.
I am absolutely happy with my Dolce Gusto and have already recommended it to several people - with also exclusively positive feedback. Can So here good conscience give a buy rating and 5 stars!
Note: I have the device in a different color (titanium).
