The wait was worth it ...! 10

As very spoiled coffee drinker I was able very early to drink no more brewed coffee and was therefore of fully automatic "dependent". But since I do not call home such my own, my enjoyment was limited for a long time only to the "hallowed halls" of my workplace.

After a brief stint with a Siebträgermaschine me was in the mood for the Nespresso system, which has put me off but because of the fact that the capsules are available online only in Clup. The Tassimo liked due to the variety of types, but unfortunately it is at this again to a brewing system.

Now I finally have a Dolce Gusto and am absolutely thrilled!

As the first plus point in the near future, the machine offers the same varieties as Tassimo. There are currently

a.Espresso: Strong, deep black, thick crema

b.Caffè Lungo: big, strong, easy to digest

c.Latte Macchiato: Highlight Nr.2.Wie promised in advertising solid milk froth, great "history" of coffee and milk layers and delightful flavor.

d.Cappuccino: Highlight Nr.1.Milchschaum Deluxe and a taste that is virtually impossible to beat.

Chance of criticism about the sweetened milk (except for the fact that people with diabetes, unfortunately really should have their problems) I can not confirm. I personally am not a fan of coffee and still übersüßtem must sweeten both drinks.

From the 2nd quarter of 2007 there will be the cocoa "Cioccolato". In addition, the special thing about the machine is that it can make even cold drinks in comparison to all other representatives. So as iced tea and iced coffee blockbuster are supposedly already being planned.

The second advantage is clearly handling. The capsule system creates de facto no dirt. The cleaning is limited to a rinse of the capsule carrier under running water and dry: ready!

Plus Point 3: There is virtually no warm-up time needed. After a maximum of 20 (depending on ambient temperature), the machine is ready for use and provides hot drinks.

Plus point 4: These are not a brewing system! With 14 bar of flavor offers all the nuances of good coffee without the bitterness that might spoil an otherwise pleasure from drinking. The capsules provide constantly consistent freshness, since the powder is exposed after opening no air, but is always only pierced the time of manufacture. With a price of 3.99 per 16 capsules, which macchiato espresso and caffè lungo 16 and lattes and cappuccinos corresponds to 8 beverages, is one under which come along the T-discs of direct "competitors" Tassimo in the same amount. So that just gives a price of 0.25, respectively 0.50 per cup / glass hot drink. The café in which you pay so little, I would first like to see.

Conclusion: Currently unrivaled in the diversity and quality, is Dolce Gusto topped only for pure espresso gourmets of the coming from the same home Nespresso System since there again 5 Bar more are used (but to get the capsules more difficult and also expensive a significantly higher purchase price) and of course a fully automatic machine for the course but proposes to beech, one would like to have a correspondingly reasonable device. Furthermore, the expenditure is (milk Preheat foaming, pour properly etc ...) to eg a latte macchiato to generate not really everyone's (time) thing.
