Cold beverages have been developed to give the best taste and the best experience for consumers when prepared with cold water.
Do not use your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it replaced by an approved repair centre. Why is the power button orange? Whilst coffee percolators operate at one bar of pressure (normal atmospheric pressure) and a number of other machines operate at no more than two bars, the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto system can operate up to 15 bars. Does the machine have a shelf life? No, you must not pour the water tank with milk. The system works only with water. The usage of any other liquid, like milk, can be harmful for your machine. How could I make my beverage hotter?
Conclusion
Verify that the drip-tray is correctly positioned. The coffee flows very slowly during operation of my Dolce Gusto machine. What should I do?
To prolong the life of your machine, it is recommended to use the descaling kit sold on our webshop or other liquid descaling kit suitable for coffee machines. How often should I clean my machine?
The espresso from the Krups Dolce Gusto Mini Me isn't bad, but the milk capsules don't do it for us
If your appliance has not been used for several months, the pump may have difficulty restarting the water flow. For Melody 3 FS, Circolo FS and Genio 1st generation the whole descaling process is triggered when we press the Hot button, no need to press the Cold one, both channels are descaled. It is different for other automatic machines where both buttons need to be pressed. My capsule holder is much dirtier after Chococino and Nesquik preparation than after coffee. Why? For medium hardness water, descaling every 3/4 months gets rid of limescale build up, keeping waterflow fast and beverage temperature within expectations. For my automatic machine, the user manual states that when you descale the machine, you only use the Hot button. Then rinse with both Hot and Cold. Don't we also need to descale the cold water pipe? One of the coolest things about the Dolce Gusto is not just the machine itself, but the pods also – they are specially designed to regulate the pressure of the coffee maker according to the type of drink you choose.
I should have mentioned this earlier, but one of the coolest things about the Dolce Gusto is the fact that it has a very compact footprint. For someone with as many kitchen gadgets and appliances as I have, it can be easy for my worktop to begin looking crowded, so I was relieved when I first unboxed this highly compact machine. In fact, an expresso can be distinguished by its rich aroma and the creamy foam on the surface of the cup.
Tap water (normal household potable water) is perfectly OK as long as it is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled water is also OK. Milk requires less pressure, so the pods for milk-based concoctions are designed accordingly to ensure the appropriate performance from the machine. No, you can only use safely machines from countries with the same voltage. In the case the voltage is higher than the one where the machine was bought, it won't work or the fuses will burn. In case the voltage is lower then it's possible that the machine won't work. Various topics What makes an authentic Espresso Coffee? Over time, limescale slows waterflow, can reduce the effectiveness of heating the water used to make your drinks and can finally clog the needle used to pierce the capsule and to deliver the water. If the machine has no power or if the machine can be switched-on but the pump does not start when selecting the Hot/Cold button (no noise), there is nothing that you can do and the machine must be repaired.
No, the machine is not a perishable item and can be used as long as it works properly. Is the plastic hose used inside PE (Polyethylene)? PP (Polypropylene)? For medium hardness water, descaling every 3/4 months gets rid of limescale build up, keeping waterflow fast and beverage temperature within expectations. There is no limit in the number of coffees a machine can make in a day, but consumers need to be careful not to make too many coffees in a row, because if they are continuously extracting beverages it might lead to an over-heating of specific elements of the machine resulting in error mode triggering. The frequency that you should descale the machine will depend on the water hardness and how frequently you use the machine. The drink we ended up with wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we feared it might be, but it wasn’t great either. While being just about palatable, it was overly creamy, and left a distinct aftertaste in the mouth.What we found interesting was that while regular coffee drinkers really disliked the powdered milk drinks served up by the Mini Me, those that rarely drank coffee, or generally preferred tea, quite liked the cappuccinos and lattes that it produced.Using the standard espresso capsule, the Mini Me produced surprisingly good results. The coffee hit the cup at around 61C, which is as near to perfect as you’ll get from a budget counter top machine. The espresso was delivered with a creamy, golden brown crema too, which hints at the smooth taste awaiting you in the cup. Making milk coffees is a two-step process. First, you make an espresso by putting in an espresso pod. After the espresso is prepared, remove the spent pod and put in the milk pod. Let the heated frothy milk pour into the same cup as the espresso. The amount of beverage depends on the size of the cup, the position of the drip tray, and sometimes the milk and coffee powders which are natural products that might show a small seasonality effect. Water or liquid is leaking outside the machine during beverage preparation. The machine is not supposed to be used as a water boiler. Without capsule the flow is higher, the heat transfer is lower and the temperature will probably not reach the expectation of consumers. Are there any other safety precautions I should take? I have small children and I am concerned about their safety. We recommend daily cleaning to make sure you will continue to enjoy the great coffee experience you deserve. For tips on daily cleaning and more, consult the user manual. Can I put some piece of my machine in the dishwasher?
