Also have a Dolce Gusto machine and like to drink coffee and espresso. The espresso machine the Dolce Gusto is in itself quite good, but tastes more like regular coffee, and not typical for espresso. Have ordered in the online shop of Dolce Gusto Espresso Intenso to, and this makes me happier lot. It tastes more like espresso, strong, dark, not so liquid. Just as one knows from the Espresso café.
Conclusion: Rather a slight Espresso, who wants to "normal" espresso should pick up the Intenso!
